DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 9.
DERIVATIVES AND FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We
manufacture, market and sell our products globally. Approximately
49% of our sales were generated outside the U.S. in local
currencies. We also incur certain manufacturing, marketing and
selling costs in international markets in local currency.
Accordingly, our earnings and cash flows are exposed to market risk
from changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the
U.S. dollar, our reporting currency.
We have
a program in place that is designed to mitigate our exposure to
changes in foreign currency exchange rates. That program includes
the use of derivative financial instruments to minimize for a
period of time, the unforeseen impact on our financial results from
changes in foreign exchange rates. We utilize forward foreign
currency contracts to hedge the anticipated cash flows from
transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the
Japanese Yen and the Euro, and to a lesser extent the Swiss Franc,
British Pound Sterling and the Canadian Dollar. This does not
eliminate the volatility of foreign exchange rates, but because we
generally enter into forward contracts one year out, rates are
fixed for a one-year period, thereby facilitating financial
planning and resource allocation.
Designated Foreign Currency Hedge Contracts
All of
our designated foreign currency hedge contracts as of July 2,
2011 and April 2, 2011 were cash flow hedges under ASC Topic
815, Derivatives and Hedging. We record the effective
portion of any change in the fair value of designated foreign
currency hedge contracts in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
in Stockholders’ Equity until the related third-party
transaction occurs. Once the related third-party transaction
occurs, we reclassify the effective portion of any related gain or
loss on the designated foreign currency hedge contracts to
earnings. In the event the hedged forecasted transaction does not
occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, we would
reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow
hedge to earnings at that time. We had designated foreign currency
hedge contracts outstanding in the contract amount of
$144.4 million as of July 2, 2011 and $154.8 million
as of April 2, 2011.
During
the quarter ended July 2, 2011, we recognized net losses of
$1.6 million in earnings on our cash flow hedges. All currency
cash flow hedges outstanding as of July 2, 2011 mature within
twelve months. For the quarter ended July 2, 2011, net losses
of $0.6 million were recorded in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income to recognize the effective portion of the fair
value of any designated foreign currency hedge contracts that are,
or previously were, designated as foreign currency cash flow
hedges, as compared to net losses of $0.9 million as of
July 3, 2010. At July 2, 2011, $1.3 million of losses,
net of tax, may be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve
months.
Non-designated Foreign Currency Hedge Contracts
We
manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency on a
consolidated basis to take advantage of offsetting transactions and
balances. We use currency forward contracts as a part of our
strategy to manage exposure related to foreign currency denominated
monetary assets and liabilities. These currency forward contracts
are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges under ASC
Topic 815. These forward contracts are marked-to-market with
changes in fair value recorded to earnings; and are entered into
for periods consistent with currency transaction exposures,
generally one month. We had non-designated foreign currency hedge
contracts under ASC Topic 815 outstanding in the contract amount of
$47.3 million as of July 2, 2011 and $45.9 million
as of April 2, 2011.
Fair
Value of Derivative Instruments
The
following table presents the effect of our derivative instruments
designated as cash flow hedges and those not designated as hedging
instruments under ASC Topic 815 in our consolidated statement of
income for the three months ended July 2, 2011.
We did
not have fair value hedges or net investment hedges outstanding as
of July 2, 2011 or April 2, 2011.
ASC
Topic 815 requires all derivative instruments to be recognized at
their fair values as either assets or liabilities on the balance
sheet. We determine the fair value of our derivative instruments
using the framework prescribed by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures, by considering the estimated
amount we would receive or pay to sell or transfer these
instruments at the reporting date and by taking into account
current interest rates, currency exchange rates, the
creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets, and our
creditworthiness for liabilities. In certain instances, we may
utilize financial models to measure fair value. Generally, we use
inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities
in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or
liabilities in markets that are not active; other observable inputs
for the asset or liability; and inputs derived principally from, or
corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other
means. As of July 2, 2011, we have classified our derivative
assets and liabilities within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy
prescribed by ASC Topic 815, as discussed below, because these
observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of
our derivative instruments.
The
following tables present the fair value of our derivative
instruments as they appear in our consolidated balance sheet as of
July 2, 2011 and April 2, 2011 by type of contract and
whether it is a qualifying hedge under ASC Topic 815.
Other
Fair Value Measurements
ASC
Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. ASC Topic 820 does not require any new fair value
measurements; rather, it applies to other accounting pronouncements
that require or permit fair value measurements. In accordance with
ASC Topic 820, for the three months ended July 2, 2011, we
applied the requirements under ASC Topic 820 to our non-financial
assets and non-financial liabilities. As we did not have an
impairment of any non-financial assets or non-financial
liabilities, there was no disclosure required relating to our
non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities.
On a
recurring basis, we measure certain financial assets and financial
liabilities at fair value, including our money market funds,
foreign currency derivative contracts, and contingent
consideration. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement
that should be determined based on assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We base
fair value upon quoted market prices, where available. Where quoted
market prices or other observable inputs are not available, we
apply valuation techniques to estimate fair value.
ASC
Topic 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for
disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets
and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the
lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of
fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as
follows:
Our
money market funds carried at fair value are classified within
Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using
quoted market prices.
We
recognize all derivative financial instruments in our consolidated
financial statements at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic
815, Derivatives and Hedging. We determine the fair value of
these instruments using the framework prescribed by ASC Topic 820
by considering the estimated amount we would receive or pay to
terminate these agreements at the reporting date and by taking into
account current spot rates, the creditworthiness of the
counterparty for assets, and our creditworthiness for liabilities.
We have classified our foreign currency hedge contracts within
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because these observable inputs
are available for substantially the full term of our derivative
instruments. For the quarter ended July 2, 2011, we have
classified our other liabilities — contingent consideration
relating to our acquisition of Neoteric within Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy because the value is determined using significant
unobservable inputs.
Fair
Value Measured on a Recurring Basis
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis consist of the following as of July 2,
2011:
Level 3
liabilities consists of the contingent consideration liability that
is solely related to the Neoteric acquisition and is calculated
based on estimated annual revenue growth for the three years
following the acquisition at established profitability thresholds
and is not limited. The fair value of the liability is determined
using probability weighted projected revenues and earnings through
the ending in fiscal year 2012 that are discounted to present value
based on a risk-weighted expected rate of return. The table below
provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending Level 3
liabilities for the three months ended July 2, 2011.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
The fair
value of our long-term debt obligations, which was estimated using
quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments, was
$3.9 million and $4.1 million at July 2, 2011 and
April 2, 2011, respectively.
