5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

From time to time, we enter into aluminum swap contracts to partially mitigate our exposure to changes in the cost of aluminum cans. Such financial instruments are designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Accordingly, gains or losses attributable to the effective portion of the cash flow hedge are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) and reclassified into cost of sales in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our cash flow hedge was immaterial. The following summarizes the gains (losses) recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and AOCI relative to the cash flow hedge for the three and six months ended October 26, 2019 and October 27, 2018:

As of October 26, 2019, the notional amount of our outstanding aluminum swap contracts was $20.1 million and, assuming no change in commodity prices, $1.5 million of unrealized losses before tax will be reclassified from AOCI and recognized in earnings over the next 12 months. See Note 1.

 

As of October 26, 2019 and April 27, 2019,  the fair value of the derivative liability was $1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, which were included in accrued liabilities.  The valuation does not entail a significant amount of judgment and the inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement are Level 2 as defined by the fair value hierarchy as they are observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
