Deferred debt issuance costs relate to Ciena's convertible notes payable (described in Note 17 below), term loans (described in Note 17 below) and ABL Credit Facility (described in Note 18 below). Deferred debt issuance costs are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effect of the effective interest rate method, through the maturity of the related debt. The amortization of deferred debt issuance costs is included in interest expense, and was $2.1 million and $2.5 million during the first six months of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively.
