Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
DERIVATIVES | DERIVATIVES Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company's total outstanding notional value of interest rate swaps was $94.0 million at March 31, 2021. The Company designated a portion of these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of the Company's exposure to the variability of the payment of interest on a portion of its Term Loan borrowings. The hedge periods of these agreements commenced in April 2018 and expire in March 2023. The original notional values are reduced over these periods. The aggregate notional value of designated interest rate swaps were $69.0 million at March 31, 2021. In June 2019, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap agreements, with an aggregate notional value of $25.0 million at March 31, 2021. These non-designated interest rate swaps serve as cash flow hedges of the Company’s exposure to the variability of the payment of interest on a portion of its Term Loan borrowings and expire in February 2025. Foreign Exchange Contracts The Company is a party from time to time to certain foreign exchange contracts, primarily to offset the earnings impact related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with inventory purchases denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the value of certain foreign currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar may positively or negatively affect the Company’s revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, and retained earnings, all of which are expressed in USD. Where the Company deems it prudent, the Company engages in hedging programs using foreign currency forward contracts aimed at limiting the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on earnings. The Company purchases short-term (i.e., 12 months or less) foreign currency forward contracts to protect against currency exchange risks associated with the payment of merchandise purchases to foreign suppliers. The Company does not hedge the translation of foreign currency profits into USD, as the Company regards this as an accounting exposure rather than an economic exposure. The aggregate gross notional values of foreign exchange contracts at March 31, 2021 was $18.7 million. These foreign exchange contracts have been designated as hedges in order to apply hedge accounting. The Company is exposed to market risks as well as changes in foreign currency exchange rates as measured against the USD and each other, and to changes to the credit risk of derivative counterparties. The Company attempts to minimize these risks primarily by using foreign currency forward contracts and by maintaining counterparty credit limits. These hedging activities provide only limited protection against currency exchange and credit risk. Factors that could influence the effectiveness of the Company’s hedging programs include those impacting currency markets and the availability of hedging instruments and liquidity of the credit markets. All foreign currency forward contracts that the Company enters into are components of hedging programs and are entered into for the sole purpose of hedging an existing or anticipated currency exposure. The Company does not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes and as of March 31, 2021, the Company does not have any foreign currency forward contract derivatives that are not designated as hedges. The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented as follows (in thousands):

The amounts of gains and losses, realized and unrealized, related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments designated as hedging instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, as follows (in thousands):

Realized gains and losses on the interest rate swaps are reclassified into earnings as the interest expense on the debt is recognized. The Company had no terminated or matured interest rate swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Realized gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts that are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into cost of sales as the underlying inventory purchased is sold. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company reclassified $0.4 million of cash flow hedges in other comprehensive losses to earnings. This was comprised of $0.3 million related to realized interest rate swap losses and a loss of $0.1 million related to foreign exchange contracts recognized in cost of sales. At March 31, 2021, the estimated amount of existing losses expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months was $1.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company reclassified $0.1 million of cash flow hedges in other comprehensive losses to earnings. This was comprised of $0.2 million related to realized interest rate swap losses and a gain of $0.1 million related to foreign exchange contracts recognized in cost of sales.
