Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging |
Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging | 4. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging On August 26, 2013, the Company fixed the interest rate for seven years on the 2013 Term Loan with an interest rate swap agreement (the “2013 Interest Rate Swap”) and on September 27, 2012, the Company fixed the interest rate for five years on the 2012 Term Loan with an interest rate swap agreement (the “2012 Interest Rate Swap”). The variable rates that were fixed under the 2013 Interest Rate Swap and the 2012 Interest Rate Swap are described in Note 3. The 2013 Interest Rate Swap and the 2012 Interest Rate Swap qualify as cash flow hedges and have been recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. If a derivative qualifies as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings, which may increase or decrease reported net income and stockholders’ equity prospectively, depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows. The following table summarizes the notional and fair value of our derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2014. The notional value is an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.
|  | Notional |  | Strike |  | Effective |  | Expiration |  | Fair |
(in thousands) |  | Value |  | Rate |  | Date |  | Date |  | Value |
2013 Interest Rate Swap |  | $ | 220,000 |  | 2.32 | % | Aug-13 |  | Aug-20 |  | $ | (5,985 | )
2012 Interest Rate Swap |  | $ | 400,000 |  | 0.75 | % | Sep-12 |  | Sep-17 |  | $ | 2,626 |
On June 30, 2014, the 2013 Interest Rate Swap was reported as a liability at its fair value of approximately $6.0 million and the 2012 Interest Rate Swap was reported as an asset at its fair value of approximately $2.6 million. These are included in other liabilities: derivative liability and other assets: derivative asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Offsetting adjustments are reported as unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments in accumulated other comprehensive income of $6.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, $3.6 million was reclassified out of other comprehensive income and into interest expense. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings as an increase or reduction to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. We estimate that approximately $0.2 million of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. We are hedging the exposure to variability in anticipated future interest payments on existing debt. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are determined using the net discounted cash flows of the expected cash flows of the derivative based on the market based interest rate curve and are adjusted to reflect credit or nonperformance risk. The risk is estimated by the Company using credit spreads and risk premiums that are observable in the market. These financial instruments were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and were classified as an asset or liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
