7.  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

We use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk related to our variable rate credit facilities and risk related to foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Before acquiring a derivative instrument to hedge a specific risk, we evaluate potential natural hedges. Factors considered in the decision to hedge an underlying market exposure include the materiality of the risk, the volatility of the market, the duration of the hedge, and the availability, effectiveness and cost of derivative instruments. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

 

All derivatives, whether designated as hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of our derivatives are determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves and other relevant economic measures which are inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy. The classification of gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of derivatives is dependent on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation. Our interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into our consolidated statement of operations when the hedged forecasted transaction affects income (loss). Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in income (loss). Our foreign exchange contracts have not been designated as hedges, and accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in income (loss).

 

Interest Rate Swap Agreements.  Our senior secured credit facilities are subject to floating interest rates. We manage the risk of unfavorable movements in interest rates by hedging a portion of the outstanding loan balance, thereby locking in a fixed rate on a portion of the principal, reducing the effect of possible rising interest rates and making interest expense more predictable over the term of the credit facilities. We have four interest rate swap agreements which we have designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, and the hedges are considered effective. As such, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into interest expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period in which it affects income (loss).

Foreign Exchange Rate Contracts.  We utilize Mexican Peso (MXP) foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, as our Mexico-based manufacturing operations incur costs that are largely denominated in MXP. Foreign exchange forward contracts held as of July 2, 2011 expire weekly through December 2011. While our foreign exchange forward contracts act as economic hedges, we have not designated such instruments as hedges for accounting purposes. Therefore, gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of these derivative instruments are recorded in other income (expense), net, in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
