Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
The company’s risk management objective is to ensure that business exposures to risks that have been identified and measured and are capable of being controlled are minimized using what it believes to be the most effective and efficient methods to eliminate, reduce, or transfer such exposures.  Operating decisions consider associated risks and transactions are structured to minimize or manage risk whenever possible.
Use of derivative instruments is consistent with the overall business and risk management objectives of the company.  Derivative instruments may be used to manage business risk within limits specified by the company’s risk policy and manage exposures that have been identified through the risk identification and measurement process, provided that they clearly qualify as “hedging” activities as defined in the risk policy.  Use of derivative instruments is not automatic, nor is it necessarily the only response to managing pertinent business risk.  Use is permitted only after the risks that have been identified are determined to exceed defined tolerance levels and are considered to be unavoidable.
The primary risks managed by the company by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, commodity price risk and foreign currency exchange risk.  Interest rate swap and cap instruments are entered into to manage interest rate or fair value risk.  Swap contracts on various commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in the company’s manufacturing processes.  The company also enters into various foreign currency derivative instruments to manage foreign currency risk associated with the company’s projected foreign currency denominated purchases, sales, and receivable and payable balances.
ASC Topic 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging,” requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position.  In accordance with ASC Topic 815-10, the company designates commodity swaps, foreign currency exchange contracts, and interest rate derivative contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases of commodities and currencies, and variable rate interest payments.  Also in accordance with ASC Topic 815-10, the company designates fixed-to-float interest rate swaps as fair market value hedges of fixed rate debt, which synthetically swap the company’s fixed rate debt to floating rate debt.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of Other Comprehensive Income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  Gains and losses on the derivative instruments representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.  In the next twelve months the company estimates that $0.1 million of unrealized losses net of tax related to commodity price and currency exchange rate hedging will be reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings.  Foreign currency and commodity hedging is generally completed prospectively on a rolling basis for between twelve and twenty-four months, respectively, depending on the type of risk being hedged.
The risk management objective for the company’s fair market value interest rate hedges is to effectively change the amount of the underlying debt equal to the notional value of the hedges from a fixed to a floating interest rate based on the benchmark one-month LIBOR rate.  These swaps include an embedded call feature to match the terms of the call schedule embedded in the Senior Notes. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are expected to offset changes in the fair value of the debt due to changes in the one-month LIBOR benchmark interest rate.
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the company had the following outstanding commodity and foreign currency exchange contracts that were entered to hedge forecasted transactions:

As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the company had outstanding $100.0 million notional amount of 3.00% LIBOR caps related to the term loan portion of its credit facility.  The remaining unhedged portions of Term Loans A and B continue to bear interest according to the terms of the New Senior Credit Facility without the benefit of the interest rate cap.
As of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the company had $75.0 million and $125.0 million total notional amount of fixed-to-float interest rate swaps outstanding related to the Senior Notes due 2020 and 2022, respectively, that were designated as fair value hedges.
See Note 8, "Debt," for a description of the debt instruments.
