Derivatives

The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 in connection with (i) acquisitions in the U.K. and (ii) transfers of cash between the U.S. and U.K. under the Company’s cash management and foreign currency risk management programs. Foreign currency forward contracts limit the economic risk of changes in the exchange rate between USD and GBP associated with cash transfers.

The foreign currency forward contracts entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2016 resulted in gains of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, which have been recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

In May 2016, the Company entered into multiple cross currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $650.0 million to manage foreign currency risk by effectively converting a portion of its fixed-rate USD-denominated senior notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to fixed-rate GBP-denominated debt of £449.3 million. The senior notes effectively converted include $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes, $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes and $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes. During the term of the swap agreements, the Company will receive semi-annual interest payments in USD from the counterparties at fixed interest rates, and the Company will make semi-annual interest payments in GBP to the counterparties at fixed interest rates. The interest payments under the cross-currency swap agreements result in £24.7 million of annual cash flows, from the Company’s U.K. business being converted to $35.8 million (at a 1.45 exchange rate). The interest rates applicable to the GBP interest payments are substantially the same as the interest rates in place for the existing USD-denominated debt. At maturity, the Company will repay the principal amounts listed above in GBP and receive the principal amount in USD.

The Company has designated the cross currency swap agreements and certain forward contracts entered into during 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2017 as qualifying hedging instruments and is accounting for these as net investment hedges. The fair value of these derivatives of $59.3 million is recorded as derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustments to these derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as the swaps are effective in hedging the designated risk. Cash flows related to these derivatives are included in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
