Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
5. Derivatives

We manage exposure to changes in market interest rates. Our use of derivative instruments is limited to highly effective interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in LIBOR swap rates, the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged on certain of our LIBOR indexed variable rate debt and a variable rate operating lease. The interest rate swaps effectively fix our interest payments on certain LIBOR indexed variable rate debt. We monitor our positions and the credit ratings of our counterparties and do not currently anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. Interest rate swap agreements are not entered into for trading purposes.

Gains or losses recognized in income on derivatives are recorded as interest expense in the statements of operations. At June 30, 2015, we expect to reclassify $12.3 million of net losses on interest rate contracts from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings as interest expense over the next twelve months. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we recognized an increase in the fair value of our cash flow hedges of $2.1 million, net of taxes. Embedded in this gain was $3.4 million of losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, net of taxes.
