Balance Sheet Components [Abstract] |
Balance Sheet Components | Note 5.Balance Sheet Components Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Finished products and work-in-process inventories include direct material costs and direct and indirect manufacturing costs. The Company records reserves for inventory that may be obsolete or in excess of current and future market demand. A summary of inventories is shown below:
(Dollars in Millions) |  | October 31, 2020 |  |  | May 2, 2020 |

Total Inventories |  | $ | 120.7 |  |  | $ | 131.0 |
Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of 5 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. A summary of property, plant and equipment is shown below:
(Dollars in Millions) |  | October 31, 2020 |  |  | May 2, 2020 |
Land |  | $ | 3.3 |  |  | $ | 3.3 |
Buildings and Building Improvements |  |  | 91.8 |  |  |  | 87.3 |

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net |  | $ | 203.2 |  |  | $ | 201.9 |
Depreciation expense was $7.6 million and $7.2 million in the three months ended October 31, 2020 and October 26, 2019, respectively. Depreciation expense was $15.0 million and $14.2 million in the six months ended October 31, 2020 and October 26, 2019, respectively. As of October 31, 2020 and May 2, 2020, capital expenditures recorded in accounts payable totaled $0.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Pre-Production Tooling Costs Related to Long-term Supply Arrangements The Company incurs pre-production tooling costs related to certain products produced for its customers under long-term supply arrangements. As of October 31, 2020 and May 2, 2020, the Company had $32.5 million and $37.1 million, respectively, of pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the customer has provided a non-cancelable right to use the tooling. Engineering, testing and other costs incurred in the design and development of production parts are expensed as incurred, unless the costs are reimbursable, as specified in a customer contract. As of October 31, 2020 and May 2, 2020, the Company had $15.8. million and $19.0 million, respectively, of Company owned pre-production tooling, which is capitalized within property, plant and equipment. Derivative Instruments The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. The Company strives to control its exposure to these risks through our normal operating activities and, where appropriate, through derivative instruments. On April 14, 2020, the Company entered into a variable-rate, cross-currency swap, maturing on August 31, 2023, with a notional value of $60.0 million (€54.8 million). The cross-currency swap is designated as a hedge of the Company's net investment in a euro-based subsidiary. The Company entered into the cross-currency swap to mitigate changes in net assets due to changes in U.S. dollar-euro spot exchange rates. The cross-currency swap was in a net liability position with an aggregate fair value of $4.8 million and $1.3 million as of October 31, 2020 and May 2, 2020, respectively, and is recorded within other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the cross-currency swap is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Hedge effectiveness is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship and quarterly thereafter, under the spot-to-spot method. The Company records changes in fair value attributable to the translation of foreign currencies through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company recognizes the impact of all other changes in fair value of the derivative through interest expense, which was not material in the three and six months ended October 31, 2020.
