Derivative Financial Instruments

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest

The Company uses derivatives from time to time to partially manage the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates on outstanding debt instruments.

The Company had no interest rate derivative contracts outstanding at June 30, 2013, December 30, 2012 and July 1, 2012.

Commodities

The Company is subject to the risk of increased costs arising from adverse changes in certain commodity prices. In the normal course of business, the Company manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative instruments. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP and are used as “economic hedges” to manage commodity price risk. Derivative instruments are marked to market on a monthly basis and recognized in earnings consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. Settlements of derivative agreements are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company uses several different financial institutions for commodity derivative instruments to minimize the concentration of credit risk. While the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by these parties.

The Company periodically uses derivative instruments to hedge part or all of its requirements for diesel fuel and aluminum. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company entered into agreements to hedge a portion of the Company’s 2013 aluminum purchases.

The Company has master agreements with the counterparties to its derivative financial agreements that provide for net settlement of derivative transactions. The Company did not have any offsetting derivative transactions with its counterparties on December 30, 2012. Accordingly, the gross amounts of derivative assets are recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet at December 30, 2012. The Company did not have any outstanding derivative transactions at June 30, 2013 or July 1, 2012.
