8.    Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage selected foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company does not use derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes. All derivative instruments must be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive loss, or “AOCL,” and is reclassified to earnings when the underlying transaction has an impact on earnings. For foreign currency derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, all changes in market value are recorded as a foreign currency exchange loss (gain) in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cash flow effects of derivatives are reported within net cash (used for) provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties on its financial instruments. The counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. The Company anticipates that these counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.

The Company's agreements with its counterparties contain provisions pursuant to which the Company could be declared in default of its derivative obligations. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of June 30, 2021, it could have been required to settle its obligations under these agreements at amounts which approximate the June 30, 2021 fair values reflected in the table below. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company was not in default of any of its derivative obligations.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no derivatives designated as net investments or fair value hedges in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

The Company has a cross currency swap agreement that is designated as a cash flow hedge to hedge changes in the value of an intercompany loan to a foreign subsidiary due to changes in foreign exchange rates. This intercompany loan is related to the acquisition of STAHL. The notional amount of this derivative is $143,625,000, and this contract matures on January 31, 2022. From its June 30, 2021 balance of AOCL, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $566,000 out of AOCL, and into foreign currency exchange loss (gain), during the next 12 months based on the contractual payments due under this intercompany loan.

The Company has foreign currency forward agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges to hedge a portion of forecasted inventory purchases denominated in foreign currencies. The notional amount of those derivatives is $4,230,000, and all
contracts mature by March 31, 2022. From its June 30, 2021 balance of AOCL, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $98,000 out of AOCL during the next 12 months based on the expected sales of the goods purchased.

The Company's policy is to maintain a capital structure that is comprised of 50-70% of fixed rate long term debt and 30-50% of variable rate long term debt. The capital structure was below this threshold at June 30, 2021 as a result of the debt refinancing related to the Dorner acquisition (See Note 2). The Company expects to achieve this structure later in fiscal 2022.

The Company has two interest rate swap agreements in which the Company receives interest at a variable rate and pays interest at a fixed rate. These interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges to hedge changes in interest expense due to changes in the variable interest rate of the senior secured term loan. The amortizing interest rate swaps mature on December 31, 2023 and have a total notional amount of $111,953,000 as of June 30, 2021. The changes in fair values of the interest rate swaps is reported in AOCL and will be reclassified to interest expense over the life of the swap agreements. From its June 30, 2021 balance of AOCL, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $821,000 out of AOCL, and into interest expense, during the next 12 months.
