Note D – Fair Value of Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The Company incurs certain manufacturing, marketing, and selling costs in international markets in local currency. Accordingly, earnings and cash flows are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. The Company has a program in place that is designed to mitigate the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The program includes the use of derivative financial instruments to minimize, for a period of time, the impact on its financial results from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the anticipated cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, namely Mexican pesos. This does not eliminate the impact of the volatility of foreign exchange rates. However, because the Company generally enters into forward contracts twelve to eighteen months out, rates are fixed for a twelve-to-eighteen-month period, thereby facilitating financial planning and resource allocation.

Designated Foreign Currency Hedge Contracts

All of the Company’s designated foreign currency hedge contracts as of March 29, 2025 were cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The Company records the effective portion of any change in the fair value of designated foreign currency hedge contracts in other comprehensive income until the related third-party transaction occurs. Once the related third-party transaction occurs, the Company reclassifies the effective portion of any related gain or loss on the designated foreign currency hedge contracts to earnings. In the event the hedged forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company will reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to earnings at that time. The Company had designated foreign currency hedge contracts outstanding in the contract amount of $7.2 million as of March 29, 2025 and $9.6 million as of December 28, 2024. As of March 29, 2025 a loss of $0.3 million is expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next nine months. All currency cash flow hedges outstanding as of March 29, 2025 mature within nine months.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The following table presents the effect of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815 in its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 29, 2025:

Derivative Instruments	Amount of Loss Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income			Amount of Loss Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into Earnings			Location in Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income
Designated foreign currency hedge contracts	$	(308,204	)	$	(291,128	)	Cost of products sold

ASC 815 requires all derivative instruments to be recognized at their fair values as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments using the framework prescribed by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” by considering the estimated amount it would receive or pay to sell or transfer these instruments at the reporting date. Generally, the Company uses inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; other observable inputs for the asset or liability; and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means. As of March 29, 2025, the Company has classified its derivative assets and liabilities within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 815, as discussed below, because these observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of its derivative instruments.

Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The following tables present the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments as they appear in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024:
