DERIVATIVES

We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally, the fair value adjustments will affect either equity or net income, depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging activity.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

On December 14, 2010, we entered into three interest rate swap transactions to effectively convert the entire amount of our $250 million fixed-rate 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014 (the "2014 Notes") to variable-rate debt. Under the terms of the transactions, we were required to make semiannual variable-rate payments to the counterparties calculated based on three-month LIBOR rates (which were reset on the 15^th day of each calendar quarter) plus 3.46%, and the counterparties were obligated to make semiannual fixed-rate payments to us of 5.125%. The swap transactions had an effective date of December 17, 2010 and a termination date of November 15, 2014, the date the 2014 Notes mature. On June 8, 2012, we de-designated the hedging relationship between the swaps and the 2014 Notes and received $5.7 million upon termination of the swaps. The related fair market valuation adjustment to the 2014 Notes is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the 2014 Notes.

On March 3, 2011, we entered into three interest rate swap transactions to effectively convert $150 million of our 2019 Notes to variable-rate debt. Under the terms of the transactions, we were required to make semiannual variable-rate payments to the counterparties calculated based on three-month LIBOR rates (which were reset on the 15^th day of each calendar quarter) plus 3.73%, and the counterparties were obligated to make semiannual fixed-rate payments to us of 6.875%. The swap transactions had an effective date of March 7, 2011 and a termination date of March 15, 2019, the date the 2019 Notes mature. On August 3, 2011 we de-designated the hedging relationship between the swaps and the 2019 Notes and received $8.1 million upon termination of the swaps. The related fair market valuation adjustment to the 2019 Notes is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the 2019 Notes.

On March 19, 2012, we entered into three interest rate swap transactions to effectively convert $150 million of our 2019 Notes to variable-rate debt. Under the terms of the transactions, we were required to make semiannual variable-rate payments to the counterparties calculated based on one-month LIBOR rates (which were reset on the 15^th day of each calendar quarter) plus 5.195%, and the counterparties were obligated to make semiannual fixed-rate payments to us of 6.875%. The swap transactions had an effective date of March 21, 2012 and a termination date of March 15, 2019, the date the 2019 Notes mature. On May 31, 2012, we de-designated the hedging relationship between the swaps and the 2019 Notes and received $3.5 million upon termination of the swaps. The related fair market valuation adjustment to the 2019 Notes is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the 2019 Notes.

During 2013, we entered into various interest rate swap transactions to effectively convert a portion of our 2019 Notes to variable-rate debt. Under the terms of the transactions, we are required to make semiannual variable-rate payments to the counterparties (which are reset in arrears on each payment date) as shown in the table below, and the counterparties are obligated to make semiannual fixed-rate payments to us of 6.875%. The swap transactions all have a termination date of March 15, 2019, the date the 2019 Notes mature.

Date of transaction	Effective date	Number of swaps		Amount of 2019 Notes hedged (in millions)		Variable rate payments
July 17, 2013	July 19, 2013		3	$	90.0	Six-month LIBOR + 4.75%
August 13, 2013	August 15, 2013		3		90.0	Six-month LIBOR + 4.5925%
August 19, 2013	August 21, 2013		3		75.0	Six-month LIBOR + 4.4275%
September 5, 2013	September 9, 2013		3		70.0	Six-month LIBOR + 4.2425%

We have an outstanding interest rate cap that was used in conjunction with previous interest rate swaps on our 2014 Notes to limit our floating rate exposure. The cap has a termination date of November 15, 2014.

The swap transactions were designated as hedges of the fair value of the related notes. The fair values of the swaps were recorded either as an asset or a liability, with changes in their fair values recorded through interest expense. The changes in fair value of the notes related to the hedged portion of the notes were also recorded through interest expense. As these changes in fair value did not exactly offset each other, the net effect on earnings represented the ineffectiveness of the hedging instruments. We evaluate effectiveness under the "long haul" method of accounting. The interest rate cap has not been designated as a hedging instrument; as a result, all changes in the fair value of the cap are recorded through interest expense.

We recorded net increases in interest expense related to the ineffectiveness of the swaps and the changes in the fair value of the cap as follows.

Interest rate swaps	$	1.1	$	1.3	$	1.0

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We use foreign currency forward contracts for the specific purpose of hedging the exposure to variability in forecasted cash flows associated primarily with inventory purchases. Fair values of foreign currency forward contracts are calculated by comparing each agreement's contractual exchange rate with the currency exchange forward and spot rates at the reporting date.

We have outstanding forward contracts to exchange Canadian Dollars for U.S. Dollars. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, as the principal terms of the contracts are the same as the underlying forecasted foreign currency cash flows. Therefore, changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are highly effective in offsetting changes in the expected foreign currency cash flows. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related tax effects, with the corresponding asset or liability recorded in the balance sheet. Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are reflected in current-period earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Since the foreign currency derivatives we use in our risk management strategies are highly effective hedges because all the critical terms of the derivative instruments match those of the hedged item, we record no ineffectiveness related to our cash flow hedges. If foreign currency exchange rates do not change from their December 31, 2013 amounts, we estimate that any reclassifications from other comprehensive income to earnings within the next 12 months will not be material.

We also currently have outstanding forward contracts to exchange British Pounds for U.S. Dollars. These contracts have not been designated as hedges. Therefore, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in SG&A expenses, with the corresponding asset or liability recorded in the balance sheet.

The notional amounts of our foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows. For additional information, see "Fair Values."
