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 that 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:



	March 30, 2019
	Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets		Other Accrued Liabilities
Designated hedge derivatives
Cash flow derivatives	$	314	$	78
Interest rate swaps	3,684		—
Total designated hedge derivatives	3,998		78
Undesignated hedge derivatives
Balance sheet derivatives	97		—
Total hedge derivatives	$	4,095	$	78

Total designated hedge derivatives	8,400		173

A reconciliation of the net fair value of designated hedge derivatives subject to master netting arrangements that are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the net fair value that could have been reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

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. Gains and losses related to changes in the market value of these contracts are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) within shareholders' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified to earnings in the same line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income and in the same period as the recognition of the underlying hedged transaction. 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.

As of March 30, 2019 and September 29, 2018, we had outstanding cash flow hedge currency exchange contracts with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of $26,576 and $39,856, 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 $24,840 and $29,315 as of March 30, 2019 and September 29, 2018, respectively. As of March 30, 2019, the net market value of the foreign currency exchange contracts was a net asset of $236, consisting of $314 in assets and $78 in liabilities. As of September 29, 2018, the net market value of the foreign currency exchange contracts was a net asset of $816, consisting of $989 in assets and $173 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
	March 30, 2019			March 31, 2018			March 30, 2019			March 31, 2018
Beginning unrealized net gain (loss) in AOCI	$	214		$	(444	)	$	672		$	(443	)
Net (gain) loss reclassified into revenue	(16		)	1,146			(601		)	1,304
Net gain (loss) recognized in OCI	(6		)	(1,794		)	121			(1,953		)
Ending unrealized net gain (loss) in AOCI	$	192		$	(1,092	)	$	192		$	(1,092	)

As of March 30, 2019, the amount projected to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings in the next 12 months was a net gain of $193. The maximum remaining maturity of any forward or optional contract as of March 30, 2019 was 1.6 years.

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 was $225,000 as of March 30, 2019. 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 one month U.S. LIBOR. The market value of the interest rate swap as of March 30, 2019 was an asset of $3,684. 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 in 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
	March 30, 2019			March 31, 2018			March 30, 2019			March 31, 2018
Beginning unrealized net gain (loss) in AOCI	$	4,889		$	5,027		$	7,411		$	3,499
Net (gain) loss reclassified into interest expense	(709		)	(220		)	(1,293		)	(239		)
Net gain (loss) recognized in OCI	(496		)	2,118			(2,434		)	3,665
Ending unrealized net gain (loss) in AOCI	$	3,684		$	6,925		$	3,684		$	6,925

As of March 30, 2019, the amount projected to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings in the next 12 months was a net gain of $2,378.

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 in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

As of March 30, 2019 and September 29, 2018, we had outstanding foreign currency balance sheet derivative contracts with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of $108,957 and $90,816, 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 March 30, 2019 and September 29, 2018 was $34,789 and $28,271, respectively. As of March 30, 2019 and September 29, 2018, the net market value of the foreign exchange balance sheet derivative contracts was a net asset of $97 and $91, respectively.

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



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	March 30, 2019			March 31, 2018			March 30, 2019			March 31, 2018
Net gain (loss) recognized in other income (expense), net	$	(395	)	$	(848	)	$	(388	)	$	(1,027	)
