Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:



Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2:	Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. The Company also considers the risk of non-performance in the estimation of fair value and includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair value of derivative instruments. In certain instances where market data is not available, the Company uses management judgment to develop assumptions that are used to determine fair value. Fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, was as follows:



	December 31, 2019			December 31, 2018			Input
Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets	$	467		$	277		Level 2
Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities	$	(42	)	$	(925	)	Level 2

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For further information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis see Note 2. “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” Note 4. “Acquisitions” and Note 9. “Property, Plant and Equipment.”

Items Not Carried at Fair Value

Fair values of the Company’s Senior Notes and Term Loan Facility were as follows:



	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Aggregate fair value	$	693,600	$	684,687
Aggregate carrying value ⁽¹⁾	$	729,800	$	733,200

⁽¹⁾ Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount.

Fair values were based on quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into derivative instruments primarily to hedge portions of its forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows and designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in order to qualify for hedge accounting.

The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the cash flow hedges. The Company also formally assesses whether a cash flow hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other

comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the consolidated balance sheet and reclassified into earnings when the underlying hedged transaction is realized. The realized gains and losses are recorded on the same line as the hedged transaction in the consolidated statements of net income.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties on its derivative financial instruments. The Company mitigates this credit risk exposure by entering into agreements directly with major financial institutions with high credit standards that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.

Cash Flow Hedges

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts – The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flow arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include various European currencies, the Canadian Dollar, the Mexican Peso, and the Brazilian Real. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the notional amount of these contracts was $92,150 and $154,237, respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to December 2020.

Interest Rate Swaps – The Company has historically used interest rate swap contracts to manage cash flow variability associated with its variable rate Term Loan Facility. Such interest rate swap contracts fixed the interest payments of variable rate debt instruments in order to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. As of December 31, 2019, there were no interest rate swap contracts outstanding.

Pretax amounts related to the Company’s cash flow hedges that were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) were as follows:



	Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI
	Year Ended December 31,
	2019		2018
Forward foreign exchange contracts	$	3,812	$	2,149
Interest rate swaps	—		443
Total	$	3,812	$	2,592

Pretax amounts related to the Company’s cash flow hedges that were reclassified from AOCI were as follows:



		Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Income
		Year Ended December 31,
	Classification	2019		2018
Forward foreign exchange contracts	Cost of products sold	$	2,773	$	1,113
Interest rate swaps	Interest expense, net of interest income	—		(162		)
Total		$	2,773	$	951
