Derivatives and Fair Value Measurements
From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps or other instruments to manage our interest rate exposure and reduce the impact of future interest rate changes. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
On August 2, 2011, we entered into three separate interest rate swap agreements, effectively converting $30 million of floating rate debt under our U.S. revolving credit facility to fixed obligations at available LIBOR rates. The $15 million interest rate swap agreement that had been entered into on March 1, 2010 matured on September 1, 2011.
The outstanding financial instruments as of December 31, 2011 are as follows:
These agreements have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments and, as such, changes in the fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss to the extent the agreements are effective hedges.
The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivatives as of December 31, 2011 and July 2, 2011 (in thousands):
Changes in the derivative’s fair value are deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) until the underlying transaction is recorded. When the hedged item affects income, gains or losses are reclassified from AOCL to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest income/expense. Any ineffectiveness in our hedging relationships, which currently is de minimis, would be recognized immediately in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The change in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss resulted in a loss, net of taxes, of $67 thousand and $29 thousand for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped in three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:
The following financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was derived from discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the forward interest rate curve adjusted for our credit risk, which fall in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
We use the projected cash flows, discounted as necessary, to remeasure the fair value of the contingent consideration for Art Gun at the end of each reporting period. Accordingly, the fair value measurement for contingent consideration falls in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of contingent consideration for Art Gun was determined to be de minimis as of December 31, 2011 and July 2, 2011.
