Derivatives

DERIVATIVES

The Company's earnings, cash flows and financial position are exposed to market risks relating to interest rates. It is the Company's policy to minimize its exposure to adverse changes in interest rates and manage interest rate risks inherent in funding the Company with debt. The Company addresses this risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and floating rate debt and entering into interest rate swaps for a portion of its variable rate debt to minimize interest rate volatility.

The following is a summary of the Company's interest rate swaps as of December 26, 2020:

Type	Notional Amount			Effective Date	Fixed Rate	Variable Rate
Interest rate swap	$	5,796	(1)	November 7, 2014 through November 7, 2024	4.500%	1 Month LIBOR

(1) Interest rate swap notional amount amortizes by $35 monthly to maturity.

(1)The amount of gain (loss) reclassified from AOCIL is included in interest expense on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2)The amount of loss expected to be reclassified from AOCIL into earnings during the next 12 months subsequent to fiscal 2020 is $135.

(3)The amount of gain (loss) recognized in income on the dedesignated portion of interest rate swaps is included in other income or other expense on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of expense recognized on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the terminated portion of interest rate swaps is included in interest expense.

On October 30, 2020, the Company terminated two interest rate swap agreements tied to its revolving line of credit. The cost to terminate the swap agreements was $1,427. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company performed its retrospective and prospective effectiveness assessments of the interest rate swap agreements. Based upon the Company's ability to secure additional fixed asset borrowings, the Company could no longer assert that the cash flows for $25,000 of notional amount of the interest rate swaps are probable. Because it is probable that none of the remaining forecasted interest payments that were being hedged by the second $25,000 interest rate swap will occur, the related losses that had been deferred in AOCIL were immediately reclassified into other (income) expense. However, the losses related to the first $25,000 interest rate swap will be reclassified from AOCIL to interest expense as the hedged interest payments are recognized as the Company could not establish that future cash flows are probable not to occur on the first interest rate swap.
