Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions and principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company, on a routine basis and in the normal course of business, experiences expenses denominated in Swiss Franc ("CHF"), Canadian Dollar ("CAD") and Great British Pound ("GBP"). Such expenses expose the Company to exchange rate fluctuations between these foreign currencies and the U.S. Dollar ("USD"). The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of forward contracts to mitigate risk associated with adverse movements in these foreign currency exchange rates on a portion of foreign denominated expenses expected to be realized during the current and following fiscal year. Currency forward contracts involve fixing the exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date.

The Company’s accounting treatment for these instruments is based on whether or not the instruments are designated as a hedging instrument. The Company is currently applying hedge accounting to all foreign currency derivatives and has designated these hedges as cash flow hedges.

At January 29, 2017, the Company had the following outstanding foreign exchange contracts:

(in thousands)
Foreign Exchange Contracts	Number of Instruments	Sell Notional Value		Buy Notional Value
Sell USD/Buy GBP Forward Contract	12	$	11,017	£	9,000
Total	12

These contracts, with maturities extending into the subsequent fiscal year, met the criteria for cash flow hedges and the unrealized gains or losses, after tax, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive gain in shareholders’ equity. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") until the hedged item is recognized in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense within the consolidated statements of income when the underlying hedged expense is recognized. Any ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in "Non-operating (expense) income, net" within the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The Company presents its derivative assets and liabilities at their gross fair values on the consolidated balance sheets.

The table below summarizes the carrying values of derivative instruments as of January 29, 2017. The Company did not have any derivative instruments as of January 31, 2016.
