Derivatives and Hedging

Note 7 — Derivatives and Hedging

During 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract to mitigate the cash flow risk associated with changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt (see Note 4 – Debt). The Company accounts for its outstanding interest rate swap contract in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815 – Derivatives and Hedging (“Topic 815”), which requires all derivatives, including derivatives designated as accounting hedges, to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.

At March 31, 2020, the Company had a single interest rate swap contract that matures in 2022, with an initial notional amount of $95.0 million. The notional amount at March 31, 2020 was $89.1 million. The Company pays a base fixed rate of 1.65275% and in return receives the greater of (1) 1-month LIBOR, rounded up to the nearest 1/16 of a percent, or (2) 0.00%. The fair value of the swap on March 31, 2020 was a liability of $1.8 million (see Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements for information on determining the fair value). The liability is included in other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The swap has been designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge of the forecasted interest payments on the Company’s debt. As long as the swap continues to be a highly effective hedge of the designated interest rate risk, changes in the fair value of the swap are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of equity. Any ineffective portion of a change in the fair value of a hedge is recorded in earnings.

As required under Topic 815, the swap’s effectiveness is assessed on a quarterly basis. Since its inception, and through March 31, 2020, the interest rate swap was considered highly effective. Accordingly, the $1.3 million net accumulated loss as of March 31, 2020 continues to be deferred and recorded, net of taxes, in other comprehensive loss. The Company expects $0.7 million of this loss, net of taxes, to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

The Company’s derivative counterparty is an investment grade financial institution. The Company does not have any collateral arrangements with its derivative counterparty and the derivative contract does not contain credit risk related contingent features.

The Company did not have any derivatives as of, or during, the three months ended March 31, 2019.
