Interest Rate Swap

 

In February 2019, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $500.0 million to convert the variable interest rate on its First Lien Term Loan to a fixed 1-month LIBOR interest rate of 2.46%. The contracts were effective on February 28, 2019 and terminate on February 28, 2023. The objective of the interest rate swap agreements is to eliminate the variability of interest payment cash flows associated with variable interest rates. The Company believes there have been no material changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparty to this interest rate swap and believes the risk of nonperformance by such party is minimal. The Company designated the interest rate swaps as a cash flow hedges. The derivative instruments are classified in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2019.

The interest rate cap expired on October 31, 2018. This agreement was an interest rate cap on quarterly resetting 3‑month LIBOR, based on a strike rate of 2.0% and payable quarterly. This instrument effectively caped the interest rate at 5.75% on an initial notional amount of $275.0 million of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation under the First Lien Facility, or any replacement facility with similar terms. The Company designated the interest rate cap agreement as a cash flow hedge. This derivative instrument was classified in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2018.

The notional amount of the foreign currency forward contract was $569.2 million as of April 30, 2018. The foreign currency forward contract was not eligible for hedge accounting.
