Derivatives

 

The Company monitors interest rate risk attributable to both its outstanding and forecasted debt obligations by the use of cash flow sensitivity analysis which estimates the expected impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s future cash flows.

 

On January 31, 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract with a notional amount of $36.0 million and a termination date of January 1, 2023. This swap contract, which converted specific variable-rate debt into fixed-rate debt and fixed the LIBOR rate associated with a portion of the term loan under the Prior Credit Facility at 2.72% was cancelled on December 22, 2020, in connection with the new Credit Agreement as described in Note 9. The Company structured this interest rate swaps to be fully effective in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, and therefore changes in the fair value of the swap offset the variability of cash flows associated with the variable-rate, long-term debt obligations and were reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). These amounts subsequently were reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment of the hedged interest payments in the same period in which the related interest affects earnings.
