Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Our currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and qualify as hedging instruments. We also have derivatives which are not designated as cash flow hedges and, therefore, are accounted for and reported under foreign currency guidance. Regardless of designation for accounting purposes, we believe all of our derivative instruments are hedges of transactional risk exposures. The fair value of our outstanding designated and undesignated derivative assets and liabilities are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: 

	April 1, 2017
(in thousands)	Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets		Other Accrued Liabilities
Designated hedge derivatives
Cash flow derivatives	$	373	$	504
Interest rate swaps	4,310		—
Total designated hedge derivatives	4,683		504
Hedge derivatives not designated
Balance sheet derivatives	—		196
Total hedge derivatives	$	4,683	$	700

Designated hedge derivatives
Cash flow derivatives	$	149	$	633
Hedge derivatives not designated

Total hedge derivatives	$	149	$	711

A reconciliation of the net fair value of foreign exchange cash flow hedge assets and liabilities subject to master netting arrangements recorded in the April 1, 2017 and October 1, 2016 Consolidated Balance Sheets to the net fair value that could have been reported in the respective Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows: 

(in thousands)	Gross Recognized Amount		Gross Offset Amount		Net Amount Presented		Derivatives Subject to Offset			Cash Collateral Received		Net Amount 1

Cash Flow Hedging – Currency Risks

Currency exchange contracts utilized to maintain the functional currency value of expected financial transactions denominated in foreign currencies are designated as cash flow hedges. Qualifying gains and losses related to changes in the market value of these contracts are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) within shareholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. The effective portion of the cash flow hedges represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in the functional currency value of the hedged item. We periodically assess whether our currency exchange contracts are effective and, when a contract is determined to be no longer effective as a hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. Subsequent changes in the market value of ineffective currency exchange contracts are recognized as an increase or decrease in revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Income as that is the same line item in which the underlying hedged transaction is reported. 

As of April 1, 2017 and October 1, 2016, we had outstanding cash flow hedge currency exchange contracts with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of $25,323 and $29,092, respectively. Upon netting offsetting contracts to sell foreign currencies against contracts to purchase foreign currencies, irrespective of contract maturity dates, the net notional U.S. dollar equivalent amount of contracts outstanding was $22,509 and $24,884 as of April 1, 2017 and October 1, 2016, respectively. As of April 1, 2017, the net market value of the foreign currency exchange contracts was a net liability of $131, consisting of $504 in liabilities and $373 in assets. As of October 1, 2016, the net market value of the foreign currency exchange contracts was a net liability of $484, consisting of $149 in assets and $633 in liabilities.

The pretax amounts recognized in AOCI on currency exchange contracts, including (gains) losses reclassified into earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Income and gains (losses) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI), are as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
(in thousands)	April 1, 2017			April 2, 2016			April 1, 2017			April 2, 2016
Beginning unrealized net gain (loss) in AOCI	$	1,423		$	669		$	(400	)	$	608
Net (gain) loss reclassified into revenue (effective portion)	(318		)	132			(737		)	(18		)
Net gain (loss) recognized in OCI (effective portion)	(1,220		)	(1,136		)	1,022			(925		)
Ending unrealized net gain (loss) in AOCI	$	(115	)	$	(335	)	$	(115	)	$	(335	)

The amount recognized in earnings as a result of the ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges was $6 and $7 in the three and six months ended April 1, 2017, respectively, and less than $1 in both the three and six months ended April 2, 2016. As of April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, the amount projected to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings in the next twelve months was a net loss of $117 and $213, respectively. The maximum remaining maturity of any forward or optional contract as of April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016 was 1.8 and 1.2 years, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps

On October 20, 2016, we entered into a floating to fixed interest rate swap agreement to mitigate our exposure to interest rate increases related to a portion of our tranche B term loan facility. The total notional amount of the interest rate swap is $275,000. The swap agreement expires April 3, 2021. As a result of this agreement, every month, we pay fixed interest at 1.256% in exchange for interest received at 1 month U.S. LIBOR. The market value of the interest rate swap at April 1, 2017 was an asset of $4,310. The interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge. As a result, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in AOCI within shareholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The pretax amounts recognized in AOCI on interest rate swaps, including (gains) losses reclassified into earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Income and gains (losses) recognized in OCI, are as follows:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
(in thousands)	April 1, 2017			April 2, 2016		April 1, 2017		April 2, 2016
Beginning unrealized net gain (loss) in AOCI	$	4,267		$	—	$	—	$	—
Net (gain) loss reclassified into interest expense (effective portion)	416			—		416		—
Net gain (loss) recognized in OCI (effective portion)	(373		)	—		3,894		—
Ending unrealized net gain (loss) in AOCI	$	4,310		$	—	$	4,310	$	—

As of April 1, 2017, the amount projected to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings in the next twelve months was a net loss of $454.

Foreign Currency Balance Sheet Derivatives

We also use foreign currency derivative contracts to maintain the functional currency value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional foreign currencies. The gains and losses related to the changes in the market value of these derivative contracts are included in other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

As of April 1, 2017 and October 1, 2016, we had outstanding foreign currency balance sheet derivative contracts with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of $52,773 and $13,187, respectively. Upon netting offsetting contracts by counterparty banks to sell foreign currencies against contracts to purchase foreign currencies, irrespective of contract maturity dates, the net notional U.S. dollar equivalent amount of contracts outstanding as of April 1, 2017 and October 1, 2016 was $17,420 and $1,347, respectively. As of April 1, 2017 and October 1, 2016, the net market value of the foreign exchange balance sheet derivative contracts was a net liability of $196 and $78, respectively.

The net gain (loss) recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income on foreign exchange balance sheet derivative contracts was as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
(in thousands)	April 1, 2017			April 2, 2016			April 1, 2017			April 2, 2016
Net gain (loss) recognized in other income (expense), net	$	(432	)	$	(743	)	$	(11	)	$	(834	)
