DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. We manage these risks through a variety of strategies which include the use of derivatives. Certain derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment, while others do not qualify or have not been designated as hedges and are marked to market through earnings. The notional amounts of derivative financial instruments and related fair values measured on a recurring basis and included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

Interest Rate Swaps

During the second quarter of 2007, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional principal amount of $480.0 million. These interest rate swaps effectively fixed three-month LIBOR at 5.045%, for a then-effective interest rate of 6.795%, including the applicable margin, for $480.0 million of our variable rate debt under our senior secured credit facility. In February 2009, we reduced the notional principal amount of the interest rate swaps by $32.8 million and paid termination fees of approximately $2.6 million. The termination fees, or deferred losses, related to the terminated portion of the swaps were amortized to interest expense over the original life of the interest rate swaps, through December 31, 2010. As a result of the reduced notional amount of the swaps, three-month LIBOR was effectively fixed at 5.026%, for a then-effective interest rate of 6.776%, including the applicable margin. We initially designated the swaps as hedging instruments and recorded changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. We discontinued cash flow hedge accounting treatment for the interest rate swap agreements effective April 1, 2009. The deferred losses on the interest rate swaps previously charged to accumulated other comprehensive income were amortized to interest expense and subsequent changes in the fair value of the swaps were recognized in earnings as a component of interest expense until the swaps expired on December 31, 2010.

On December 17, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an initial notional amount of $300.0 million to fix three-month LIBOR at 2.005%, for an effective rate of 4.255%, including the applicable margin, for $300.0 million of our variable rate debt under our prior senior secured credit facility. The effective date of this agreement was December 31, 2010. The notional amount of $300.0 million amortizes by $40.0 million at the end of every quarter until it reaches $100.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the expiration date. The swap was designated as, and qualified as, a cash flow hedge through the termination of the prior senior secured credit facility on June 27, 2011. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of the termination of the prior senior secured credit facility, pre-tax losses of $2.6 million were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings as a component of interest expense. This interest rate swap remains in effect and subsequent changes in the fair value of this swap will be recognized in earnings as a component of interest expense until the swap expires.

On July 6, 2011, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an initial notional amount of $186.3 million. The effective date of this agreement is June 30, 2012, the expiration date of our existing interest rate swap. Under the swap agreement, we are required to make quarterly payments at a fixed interest rate of 1.8695% per annum to the counterparty on an amortizing notional amount in exchange for receiving variable payments based on the three-month LIBOR interest rate for the same notional amount. After giving effect to the swap agreement, our effective interest rate for the notional amount, based on the current applicable margin under the new senior secured credit facility of 1.75% per annum, will be 3.6195% per annum. The initial notional amount of $186.3 million amortizes quarterly by (i) $2,812,500 from the effective date through the quarter ended September 30, 2013, (ii) $5,625,000 from September 30, 2013 through the quarter ended September 30, 2014, and (iii) $8,437,500 from September 30, 2014 until June 30, 2015, the expiration date of the agreement. The swap is designated as and qualifies as a cash flow hedge.

Foreign Currency

Currencies to which we have exposure are the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, British pound, Polish zloty and Euro. Currency restrictions are not expected to have a significant effect on our cash flows, liquidity, or capital resources. We purchase the Mexican peso and Polish zloty under two to twelve-month forward foreign exchange contracts to stabilize the cost of production. As of June 30, 2011, we had a commitment to purchase $10.7 million in Mexican pesos and $0.3 million in Polish zlotys over the next 12 months.

Long-Term Debt

The estimated fair market value of our long-term debt was $5.5 million below carrying value and $10.6 million above carrying value as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our 2021 Notes are traded in the market and are classified as a Level 1 measurement with the fair value determined based on the quoted active market prices. Borrowings under our new senior secured credit facility are classified as Level 3 measurements as these securities are not traded in an active market and are valued based on an implied price derived from industry averages and relative loan performance.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and accruals approximate fair value due to the near-term maturity of these instruments.
