4. Derivative Financial Instruments

On May 24, 2010, we entered into a long term interest rate swap contract to pay a fixed rate of interest of 1.5% in exchange for a floating rate interest payment tied to the one-month London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) beginning November 28, 2010 to mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our debt obligations for the remainder of the term of the note. The contract had a notional amount of $30.0 million and matured on July 30, 2012. We did not designate the contract as a hedge; as such, associated gains and losses were recorded in gain on derivatives in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

On May 7, 2008, we entered into a long term currency swap contract to purchase 18.3 million Euros in exchange for $28.0 million to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk on a Euro denominated intercompany note. We incurred net losses of $0.2 million and $0.1 million on the intercompany note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, which is included in loss on foreign exchange in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The currency swap matured on December 14, 2012. The contract payment terms approximated the payment terms of this intercompany note.

 

The following table presents the losses and (gains) on our derivative financial instruments which are included in gain on derivatives in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (in thousands):
