DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company from time to time enters into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate collar agreements (“Collars”), to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt. On January 4, 2023, the Company entered into a Collar with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") with a notional amount of $500,000 that expires on February 18, 2026. The Collar has a floor of 2.811% and a cap of 5% (based on three-month SOFR). The structure of this Collar is such that the Company receives an incremental amount if the Collar index exceeds the cap rate. Conversely, the Company pays an incremental amount to Wells Fargo if the Collar index falls below the floor rate. No payments are required if the Collar index falls between the cap and floor rates. 

 

As of July 2, 2023, the Company recognized a derivative asset of $2,068 for the Collar in other noncurrent assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the 13-week and 26-week periods ended July 2, 2023, the Company recorded a net change in the fair value of the Collar as a decrease to interest expense of $5,088 and $2,068, respectively. No cash payments were made or received during the 13-week and 26-week periods ended July 2, 2023, as the applicable rate was between the cap and floor rates as of the settlement dates.

 

The fair value of the Collar is determined using observable market-based inputs and the impact of credit risk on the derivative’s fair value (the creditworthiness of the Company’s counterparty for assets and the creditworthiness of the Company for liabilities) (a Level 2 measurement, as described in Note 10, "Fair Value Measurements").
