Financial Instruments

2. Financial Instruments

Cash Equivalents

As of December 25, 2015, the Company had an overnight sweep account invested in money market funds with maturities of less than 90 days from purchase and is thus classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s balance sheet. The carrying value and fair value of these money market funds as of December 25, 2015 was $0.6 million, based on Level 1 inputs. There were no money market funds as of December 30, 2016.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses certain interest rate derivative contracts to hedge interest rate exposures on existing floating rate debt. The Company classifies its interest rate derivative contracts primarily within Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy discussed in Note 1of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

In September 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with East West and City National banks with a notional amount of $20.0 million pursuant to which the Company pays the counterparty a fixed rate of 0.99% and receives interest at a variable rate equal to the LIBOR rate the Company is required to pay under its term loan, or 0.63%, as of December 30, 2016. This interest rate swap effectively locks in a fixed interest rate of 3.49% on $14.0 million of the $26.2 million term loan as of December 30, 2016, with a decreasing notional amount based on prorated quarterly principal payments over the remaining period of the term loan. Gains or losses on the effective portion of a cash flow hedge are reflected as a component of AOCI and subsequently recorded to interest income (expense) when the hedged transactions are realized. If the hedged transactions become probable of not occurring, the corresponding amounts in AOCI would be immediately reclassified to interest and other income, net. As of December 30, 2016, the effective portion of the Company’s cash flow hedge before tax effect was approximately $0.1 million, of which $5,600 is expected to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings within the next 12 months.

Non-Designated Derivatives

Miconex interest swap to convert the variable interest rates on Miconex debt to fixed rates with a total notional amount of $0.3 million is not designated as hedging instruments. The Company recognizes gains and losses on this contract, as well any related costs in interest and other income (expense), net.

The Company records all derivatives in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The Company’s accounting treatment for these derivative instruments is based on its hedge designation. The following tables show the Company’s derivative instruments at gross fair value (in thousands) as of December 30, 2016 and December 25, 2015.

There were no gains (losses) recognized in income on derivatives that are excluded from the effectiveness testing and ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2016 and December 25, 2015.

The effect of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments on income for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2016 and December 25, 2015 is immaterial to the financial statements.
