18. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts or interest rate swaps to reduce its ongoing business exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

Foreign currency forward contracts

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges for exposures related to certain sales, inventory purchases and equipment purchases which are denominated in currencies that are not its functional currency. As of June 30, 2013, the latest maturity date for all outstanding foreign currency forward contracts is during September 2013. These items are not designated as hedges by the Company and are marked to market each period and offset by the foreign exchange (gains) losses included in Other operating expense, net resulting from the underlying exposures of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

Interest rate swaps

On February 15, 2011, the Company entered into a twenty-seven month, $25,000 interest rate swap with Bank of America to provide a hedge against the variability of cash flows (monthly interest expense payments) on LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings which allowed the Company to fix LIBOR at 1.39%. On August 5, 2011, the Company entered into a twenty-one month, $10,000 interest rate swap with Bank of America to provide a hedge against the variability of cash flows on additional LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings which allowed the Company to fix LIBOR at 0.75%. Both of these interest rate swaps reached maturity and were terminated on May 17, 2013.

The Company had designated the Bank of America swaps as cash flow hedges. At June 30, 2013, there was no unrealized gain or loss recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income for these cash flow hedge derivative instruments. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not reclassify any gains or losses related to these swaps from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Interest expense.

On May 18, 2012, the Company entered into a five year, $50,000 interest rate swap with Wells Fargo to provide a hedge against the variability of cash flows related to additional LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings under the Company’s ABL Revolver and ABL Term Loan. It increased to $85,000 in May 2013 (when the $25,000 and $10,000 interest rate swaps with Bank of America terminated) and is scheduled to decrease $5,000 per quarter beginning in August 2013 until the balance again reaches $50,000 in February 2015, where it will remain through the life of the instrument. This interest rate swap allows the Company to fix LIBOR at 1.06% and terminates on May 24, 2017.

On November 26, 2012, the Company de-designated its Wells Fargo interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the Company reclassified pre-tax unrealized losses of $322 from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Interest expense and the Company expects to reclassify additional losses of $554 during the next twelve months. Since the de-designation of this interest rate swap, the Company has recognized pre-tax unrealized marked to market gains within Interest expense of $931 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. See “Note 20. Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income” for further discussion of the reclassifications of unrealized losses from Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.

By entering into derivative instrument contracts, the Company exposes itself to counterparty credit risk. The Company attempts to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure to any single counterparty and regularly monitoring its market position with each counterparty. The Company’s derivative instruments do not contain any credit risk related contingent features.
