Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments
The Company enters into derivative transactions in certain situations based on management’s assessment of current market conditions and perceived risks. Management intends to respond to evolving business and market conditions and in doing so, may enter into such transactions as deemed appropriate.
Credit Risk. As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk. The Company manages this risk by limiting its counterparties to large financial institutions which meet the Company’s credit rating standards and have an established banking relationship with the Company. As of March 31, 2014, the Company did not expect any losses as a result of default of its counterparties.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. The Company’s Mexican subsidiaries have net U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities (primarily debt) which, for Mexican income tax purposes, are subject to periodic revaluation based on changes in the value of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. This revaluation creates fluctuations in the Company’s Mexican income tax expense and the amount of income taxes paid in Mexico. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure to this risk. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $345.0 million. These contracts mature on December 31, 2014, and obligate the Company to purchase a total of Ps.4,642.5 million at a weighted average exchange rate of Ps.13.46 to each U.S. dollar. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $250.0 million maturing on December 31, 2013. These contracts obligated the Company to purchase a total of Ps.3,275.3 million at a weighted average exchange rate of Ps.13.10 to each U.S. dollar. The Company has not designated any of the foreign currency forward contracts as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The Company measures the foreign currency forward contracts at fair value each period and recognizes any change in fair value in foreign exchange gain (loss) within the consolidated statements of income.
