The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage our exposures to (1) interest rate fluctuations on our floating rate senior debt and (2) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company measures those instruments at fair value and recognizes changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change, unless the derivative qualifies as an effective hedge that offsets certain exposures.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

On September 3, 2014, the Company entered into two forward Interest Rate Swap Agreements (the “2014 Swaps”) with three-year terms for notional amounts of $90,000 and $40,000. The forward start date of the 2014 Swaps was October 1, 2015 and the termination date is September 30, 2018. The 2014 Swaps fix the interest rate at 2.2% plus the applicable interest rate margin of 3.5% for an effective rate of 5.7%. The interest rate on the term loan was 5.5% at June 30, 2018.

On January 8, 2018, the Company entered into a forward Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the "2018 Swap") with three-year terms for notional amounts of $90,000. The forward start date of the 2018 Swap was September 30, 2018 and the termination date is June 30, 2021. The 2018 Swaps fix the interest rate at 2.3% plus the applicable interest rate margin of 3.5% for an effective rate of 5.8%.

The total fair value of the 2014 Swaps was $52, and the fair value of the 2018 Swap was $990 as of June 30, 2018. These were reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other current assets and other non-current assets, respectively. An increase in other expense recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss for the unfavorable change of $1,418 in fair value since December 30, 2017.

The total fair value of the 2014 Swaps was $392 as of December 30, 2017 and was reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other current liabilities.

The Company's interest rate swap agreements did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment because they did not meet the provisions specified in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Accordingly, the gain or loss on these derivatives was recognized in current earnings.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

During 2016, 2017 and 2018 the Company entered into multiple foreign currency forward contracts. The table below summarizes the maturity dates and the fixed exchange rates of the contracts:



	2016 FX Contracts	2017 FX Contracts	2018 FX Contracts
Maturity date range:
Minimum	April 2016	October 2017	July 2018
Maximum	April 2017	April 2018	September 2018
Fixed exchange rate range:
Minimum	1.2536	1.3002	1.2720
Maximum	1.3458	1.3518	1.3336

The purpose of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts is to manage the Company's exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar.

The total notional amount of contracts outstanding was C$8,774 and C$2,993 as of June 30, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively. The total fair value of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $47 and $(140) as of June 30, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, and was reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively. An increase in other income of $20, including contracts settled during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018, was recorded in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the change in fair value from December 30, 2017.

The Company's foreign currency forward contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment because they did not meet the provisions specified in ASC 815. Accordingly, the gain or loss on these derivatives was recognized in current earnings.

The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, holds no derivative instruments for trading purposes.
