Derivative Instruments

We have in place an interest rate swap agreement to manage the risk associated with a portion of our variable-rate long-term debt. We do not utilize derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The interest rate swap involves the exchange of fixed-rate and variable-rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount on which the interest payments are calculated. The swap agreement will terminate concurrently with the expiration of our credit facility on December 23, 2020. The notional amount of the swap agreement was $40 million from September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018, and is $30 million from September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019 and $20 million from September 1, 2019 through December 23, 2020. We have designated this swap as a cash flow hedge and have determined that it qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. For so long as the hedge is effective, changes in fair value of the cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income (net of tax) until income or loss from the cash flows of the hedged item is realized.



For both the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a nominal amount, in other comprehensive income related to unrealized gains (losses) (net of tax) on the cash flow hedge described above. For the three months ended October 1, 2017 we recorded a nominal amount, in other comprehensive income related to unrealized gains (net of tax) on the cash flow hedge. For the six months ended October 1, 2017 we recorded $0.1 million, in other comprehensive income related to unrealized losses (net of tax) on the cash flow hedge. Included in other long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet was $0.8 million as of September 30, 2018 and April 1, 2018 related to the cash flow hedge. Unrealized gains and losses will be reflected in net income when the related cash flows or hedged transactions occur and offset the related performance of the hedged item.

By their nature, derivative instruments are subject to market risk. Derivative instruments are also subject to credit risk associated with counterparties to the derivative contracts. Credit risk associated with derivatives is measured based on the replacement cost should the counterparty with a contract in a gain position to us fail to perform under the terms of the contract. We do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty.
