Fair Value Hedge

On May 6, 2022, we entered into a cross-currency swap contract to reduce the effect of the fluctuating U.S. Dollar (“USD”) to Japanese Yen (“JPY”) foreign exchange rate on our foreign currency-denominated intercompany loan between our Japanese and U.S. subsidiary. We expect the gains and losses on this contract to offset losses and gains on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from the remeasurement of the principal and interest accrued on the loan. Though the intercompany loan eliminates in consolidation, the foreign currency remeasurement of the loan and interest by the U.S. subsidiary is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

The cross-currency swap contract has a notional amount of JPY 11 billion and final receipt of $85 million. The cross-currency swap contract, which matures on November 2, 2031, swaps Yen-denominated interest payments for U.S. dollar-denominated interest payments, thereby economically converting the JPY 11 billion fixed-rate 3.51% intercompany loan to a fixed-rate 6.77% USD-denominated receivable for our U.S. subsidiary.

We designated the cross-currency swap contract to hedge the changes in value of the intercompany loan and its variability on earnings. We will apply fair value hedge accounting, and we will consider market factors other than the change in the spot exchange rate on the notional amount of the swap to be excluded components. The foreign currency spot rate fluctuations on the cross-currency swap notional amount and interest accruals are reported in earnings each period, while all other changes are reported in other comprehensive income. Because the terms of the hedged item and the hedging instrument match and the likelihood of swap counterparty default is not probable, the hedge is expected to exactly offset changes in the fair value of the foreign currency debt resulting from to foreign currency fluctuations over the term of the swap.

As of October 29, 2022, the cross-currency swap had a fair value of $4 million and was included in other assets. We record the changes in the fair value of the contract to AOCL. Each period, we reclassify an amount out of AOCL equal to the remeasurement gain or loss on the hedged intercompany loan that is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of October 29, 2022, there was $4 million in AOCL, net of tax, related to the cross-currency swap. In addition, we recognize swap interest income based on the differential in fixed interest rates per the contract. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2022, we recorded $1 million and $2 million of income in interest expense, net, respectively. Refer to Note 10 for further information regarding amounts recorded in AOCL.
