Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments Held

Coffee-Related Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to commodity price risk associated with its price to be fixed green coffee purchase contracts, which are described further in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2017 Form 10-K. The Company utilizes forward and option contracts to manage exposure to the variability in expected future cash flows from forecasted purchases of green coffee attributable to commodity price risk. Certain of these coffee-related derivative instruments utilized for risk management purposes have been designated as cash flow hedges, while other coffee-related derivative instruments have not been designated as cash flow hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting despite hedging the Company’s future cash flows on an economic basis.

The following table summarizes the notional volumes for the coffee-related derivative instruments held by the Company at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017:

Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities

The Company has agreements in place that allow for the financial right of offset for derivative assets and liabilities at settlement or in the event of default under the agreements. Additionally, the Company maintains accounts with its brokers to facilitate financial derivative transactions in support of its risk management activities. Based on the value of the Company’s positions in these accounts and the associated margin requirements, the Company may be required to deposit cash into these broker accounts.

The following table presents the Company’s net exposure from its offsetting derivative asset and liability positions as of the reporting dates indicated:



(In thousands)		Gross Amount Reported on Balance Sheet		Netting Adjustments			Cash Collateral Posted		Net Exposure
March 31, 2018	Derivative Assets	$	17	$	(17	)	$	—	$	—
	Derivative Liabilities	$	2,767	$	(17	)	$	—	$	2,750
June 30, 2017	Derivative Assets	$	132	$	(132	)	$	—	$	—
	Derivative Liabilities	$	2,369	$	(132	)	$	—	$	2,237

Cash Flow Hedges

Changes in the fair value of the Company’s coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent effective, are deferred in AOCI and reclassified into cost of goods sold in the same period or periods in which the hedged forecasted purchases affect earnings, or when it is probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. Based on recorded values at March 31, 2018, $(5.4) million of net losses on coffee-related derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into cost of goods sold within the next twelve months. These recorded values are based on market prices of the commodities as of March 31, 2018. Due to the volatile nature of commodity prices, actual gains or losses realized within the next twelve months will likely differ from these values.
