DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to global market risks, including risks from changes in FX rates and changes in interest rates. Accordingly, the Company uses derivatives in certain instances to manage the aforementioned financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes.

Derivatives and non-derivative instruments designated as accounting hedges:

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to convert the fixed interest rate on certain of its long-term debt to a floating interest rate based on the 3-month LIBOR. The purpose of these hedges is to mitigate the risk associated with changes in the fair value of the long-term debt, thus the Company has designated these swaps as fair value hedges. The fair value of the swaps is adjusted quarterly with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying value of the debt. The changes in the fair value of the swaps and the underlying hedged item generally offset and the net cash settlements on the swaps are recorded each period within interest expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges:

Hedged Item	Nature of Swap	Notional Amount				Floating Interest Rate
Hedged Item	Nature of Swap		As of March 31, 2018		As of December 31, 2017	Floating Interest Rate
2010 Senior Notes due 2020	Pay Floating/Receive Fixed	$	500.0	$	500.0	3-month LIBOR
2014 Senior Notes due 2019	Pay Floating/Receive Fixed	$	450.0	$	450.0	3-month LIBOR
2012 Senior Notes due 2022	Pay Floating/Receive Fixed	$	80.0	$	80.0	3-month LIBOR

The following table summarizes the impact to the statement of operations of the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges:

Cross-currency swaps and net investment hedges

In conjunction with the issuance of the 2015 Senior Notes, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap to exchange €100 million for U.S. dollars on the date of the settlement of the notes. The purpose of this cross-currency swap was to mitigate FX risk on the remaining principal balance on the 2015 Senior Notes that initially was not designated as a net investment hedge. Under the terms of the swap, the Company paid the counterparty interest on the $110.5 million received at 3.945% per annum and the counterparty paid the Company interest on the €100 million paid at 1.75% per annum. These interest payments were settled in March of each year, beginning in 2016, until either the maturity of the cross-currency swap in 2027 or upon early termination at the discretion of the Company. The principal payments on this cross currency swap were to be settled in 2027, concurrent with the repayment of the 2015 Senior Notes at maturity or upon early termination at the discretion of the Company. In March 2016, the Company designated these cross-currency swaps as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value subsequent to the date the swaps were designated as cash flow hedges were recognized in OCI. Gains and losses on the swaps initially recognized in OCI were reclassified to the statement of operations in the period in which changes in the underlying hedged item affects net income. On December 18, 2017, the Company terminated the cross-currency swap and designated the full €500 million principal of the 2015 Senior Notes as a net investment hedge as discussed below.

The Company has designated €500 million of the 2015 Senior Notes Due 2027 as a net investment hedge. This hedge is intended to mitigate FX exposure related to euro net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries against changes in euro/USD exchange rates. This net investment hedge is designated as accounting hedges under the applicable sections of Topic 815 of the ASC and will end upon the repayment of the notes in 2027 unless terminated earlier at the discretion of the Company.

Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on the overall changes in the fair value of the hedge. For hedges that meet the effectiveness requirements, any change in the fair value is recorded in OCI in the foreign currency translation account. Any change in the fair value of the Company’s outstanding net hedges that is the result of ineffectiveness would be recognized immediately in other non-operating (expense) income, net in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

The following table provides information on the gains/(losses) on the Company’s net investment and cash flow hedges:

Derivatives not designated as accounting hedges:

Foreign exchange forwards

The Company also enters into foreign exchange forwards to mitigate the change in fair value on certain assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary’s functional currency. These forward contracts are not designated as accounting hedges under the applicable sections of Topic 815 of the ASC. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized immediately in other non-operating (expense) income, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations along with the FX gain or loss recognized on the assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency. These contracts have expiration dates at various times through July 2018.
