| DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS & HEDGING ACTIVITIES |
7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS & HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company addresses certain financial exposures through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments and hedging activities. The Company had previously entered into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, the Company had previously entered into interest rate derivatives to manage the effects of interest rate movements on the Company’s credit facilities. As of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, the Company had no active forward foreign exchange contracts. As of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company had no active interest rate swap agreements. The amount of gains and losses related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, are presented as follows:
Interest expense presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded, totaled $7.4 and $8.2 for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts The Company primarily utilizes variable-rate debt, which exposes the Company to variability in interest payments. The Company enters into various types of derivative instruments to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rates. The Company assesses interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. The Company maintains risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both the Company’s outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as the Company’s offsetting hedge positions. The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s future cash flows. Previously, the Company had entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge the variable interest rate payments on its credit facilities. In connection with these transactions, the Company paid interest based upon a fixed rate as agreed upon with the respective counterparties and received variable rate interest payments. The interest rate swaps were designated as hedging instruments and were accounted for as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swap contracts were terminated on June 25, 2024, and at March 29, 2025, the Company had no active interest rate swap contracts. Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts The Company from time to time has entered into forward contracts to economically hedge translational and transactional exposure associated with various business units whose local currency differs from the Company’s reporting currency. The Company’s forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. At March 29, 2025, the Company had no active forward foreign exchange contracts. Net Investment Hedge The Company utilizes foreign currency denominated debt to hedge currency exposure in foreign operations. The Company has designated €90.0 of borrowings on the revolving credit facility as a net investment hedge of a portion of the Company’s European operations. The carrying value of the euro denominated debt totaled $97.5 as of March 29, 2025, and is included in the Revolving lines of credit line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The loss on the net investment hedge recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as part of the currency translation adjustment was $2.7, net of tax, for the three months ended March 29, 2025. |
