10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging

As of both October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015, the Company had in effect an interest rate swap with a notional amount totaling $1,500,000.

In January 2009, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap which had an effective date of January 4, 2010 and a termination date of January 27, 2014. From December 29, 2012 through April 1, 2013, this swap had qualified for hedge accounting, and therefore changes in the fair value of this derivative were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Effective April 2, 2013, due to the Company’s debt refinancing, the Company ceased the application of hedge accounting for this swap. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of this swap were recorded in earnings subsequent to April 2, 2013 and were immaterial for the nine months ended September 27, 2014.

On July 26, 2013, in order to hedge an additional portion of its variable rate debt, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap with an effective date of March 31, 2014 and a termination date of April 2, 2020. The initial notional amount of this swap was $1,500,000. During the term of this swap, the notional amount will decrease from $1,500,000 effective March 31, 2014 to $1,250,000 on April 3, 2017 with a further reduction to $1,000,000 on April 1, 2019. This interest rate swap effectively fixes the variable interest rate on the notional amount of this swap at 2.38%. This swap qualifies for hedge accounting and, therefore, changes in the fair value of this swap have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

As of October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015, cumulative unrealized losses for qualifying hedges were reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the amounts of $32,005 ($52,468 before taxes) and $21,856 ($35,830 before taxes), respectively.

The Company is hedging forecasted transactions for periods not exceeding the next six years. The Company expects approximately $11,348 ($18,603 before taxes) of derivative losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at October 3, 2015, based on current market rates, will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
