Financial Instruments Measured At Fair Value [Text Block]

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The company utilizes a fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at October 2, 2021:

(a) Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months.

(b) The company has an 8.4% equity ownership interest in Marubun Corporation and a portfolio of mutual funds with quoted market prices. The company recorded an unrealized gain of $1,755 and $6,865 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, on equity securities held at the end of the quarter. The company recorded an unrealized gain of $14 and unrealized loss of $4,993 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, respectively, on equity securities held at the end of the quarter.

Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets (see Note B). The company tests these assets for impairment if indicators of potential impairment exist or at least annually if indefinite lived.

Derivative Instruments

The company uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, for purposes other than trading. Certain derivative instruments are designated at inception as hedges and measured for effectiveness both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are marked-to-market each reporting period with any unrealized gains or losses recognized in earnings.

Interest Rate Swaps

The company manages the risk of variability in interest rates of future expected debt issuances by entering into various forward-starting interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value of interest rate swaps are recorded in the shareholders’ equity section in the company’s consolidated balance sheets in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and will be reclassified into income over the life of the anticipated debt issuance or in the period the hedged forecasted cash flows are deemed no longer probable to occur. Gains and losses on interest rate swaps are recorded within the line item “Interest and other financing expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative based on observable inputs, including interest rate curves and credit spreads.

At October 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the company had the following outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges:

Trade Date

Jan 2021 - Jun 2023

In May 2019, the company entered into a series of ten-year forward-starting interest rate swaps (the “2019 swaps”). The 2019 swaps were designated as cash flow hedges managing the risk of variability in interest rates of future expected debt issuance by June 2020. In February 2020, the company determined that certain of the forecasted cash flows were no longer probable and de-designated the hedging relationship. In February 2020, the company re-designated the 2019 swaps in a new cash flow hedge to manage the risk of variability in interest rates of future expected debt issuance by June 2023. In May 2020, the company terminated the 2019 swaps for a cash payment of $48,378, which was reported in the “cash flows from financing activities” section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, losses of $1,493 before taxes, were reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” ("AOCI") to "Interest and other financing expense, net" related to forecasted cash flows that were deemed no longer probable to occur. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, losses of $1,422 and $2,616, respectively, before taxes, were reclassified from AOCI to "Interest and other financing expense, net" related to forecasted cash flows that were deemed no longer probable to occur. At October 2, 2021 losses of $33,611, net of taxes, remained in AOCI related to the 2019 swaps.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to international transactions where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. The company’s transactions in its foreign operations are denominated primarily in the following currencies: Euro, Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi, and British Pound. The company enters into foreign exchange forward, option, or swap contracts (collectively, the “foreign exchange contracts”) to facilitate the hedging of foreign currency exposures resulting from inventory purchases and sales and mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions. Foreign exchange contracts generally have terms of no more than six months. Gains or losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized when the underlying future purchase or sale is recognized or when the corresponding asset or liability is revalued. The company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. The risk of loss on a foreign exchange contract is the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties, which the company minimizes by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts is estimated using foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quotes by third-party financial institutions. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts inclusive of foreign exchange contracts designated as a net investment hedge at October 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $1,028,616 and $914,930, respectively.

Gains and losses related to non-designated foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded in "Cost of sales" in the company’s consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses related to foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in "Cost of sales," "Selling, general, and administrative expenses," and "Interest and other financing expense, net" based upon the nature of the underlying hedged transaction, in the company’s consolidated statements of operations.

At October 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the company had foreign exchange contracts to sell Euro and buy United States Dollars, with various maturity dates as noted in the table below:


Maturity Date						Notional Amount
March 2023						EUR 50,000
September 2024						EUR 50,000
April 2025						EUR 100,000
January 2028						EUR 100,000
Total						EUR 300,000

The contracts above have been designated as a net investment hedge which is in place to hedge a portion of the company’s net investment in subsidiaries with euro-denominated net assets. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated as net investment hedges are recorded in “foreign currency translation adjustment” (“CTA”) within “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. Amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are included in “Interest and other financing expense, net” in the company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The effects of derivative instruments on the company’s consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income are as follows:


	Income Statement Line	Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
		October 2, 2021		September 26, 2020		October 2, 2021		September 26, 2020
Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income

(b)Includes derivative gains (losses) excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for the net investment hedges and recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (net of tax) of $935 and $667 for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $162 and $19,180 for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
