Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

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. Foreign currency forward contracts 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 (income), net resulting from the underlying exposures of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. As of June 26, 2016 and June 28, 2015, there were no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

Interest rate swap

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 LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings under the Company’s ABL Facility. It increased to $85,000 in May 2013 (when certain other interest rate swaps terminated) and has decreased $5,000 per quarter since August 2013 to the current notional balance of $50,000, 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 the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. See Note 19 for detail regarding the reclassifications of amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the interest rate swap.

Contingent consideration

On December 2, 2013, the Company acquired certain draw-winding assets in a business combination and recorded a contingent consideration liability. The fair value of the contingent consideration is measured at each reporting period using a discounted cash flow methodology, based on inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 classification in the fair value hierarchy). The inputs to the discounted cash flow model include the estimated payments through the term of the agreement, based on an agreed-upon definition and schedule, adjusted to risk-neutral estimates using a market price of risk factor that considers relevant metrics of comparable entities, discounted using an observable cost of debt over the term of the estimated payments. Any change in the fair value from either the passage of time or events occurring after the acquisition date is recorded in other operating expense (income), net. While adjustments have been made to reflect a decrease for draw-winding operations during fiscal 2016, there have been no significant changes to the other inputs or assumptions used to develop the fair value measurement since the acquisition date.

A reconciliation of the changes in the fair value follows:

Contingent consideration as of June 28, 2015	$	2,207
Changes in fair value		(294	)
Payments		(565	)
Contingent consideration as of June 26, 2016	$	1,348

Based on the present value of the expected future payments, $493 is reflected in accrued expenses and $855 is reflected in other long-term liabilities.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy used to measure these items are as follows:

As of June 26, 2016	Notional Amount			USD Equivalent		Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair Value
Interest rate swap	USD	$	50,000	$	50,000	Accrued expenses	Level 2	$	260
Contingent consideration			—		—	Accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities	Level 3	$	1,348

As of June 26, 2015	Notional Amount			USD Equivalent		Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair Value
Interest rate swap	USD	$	50,000	$	50,000	Other long-term liabilities	Level 2	$	280
Contingent consideration			—		—	Accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities	Level 3	$	2,207

Estimates for the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps are obtained from month-end market quotes for contracts with similar terms.

The effects of marked to market hedging derivative instruments for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014 are insignificant.

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.

The Company believes that there have been no significant changes to its credit risk profile or the interest rates available to the Company for debt issuances with similar terms and average maturities and the Company estimates that the fair values of its debt obligations approximate the carrying amounts. Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value due to their short-term nature.

There were no transfers into or out of the levels of the fair value hierarchy for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
