Financial Instruments | (10) Financial Instruments Derivatives Interest Rate Swaps The Company’s business is exposed to risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates on certain LIBOR-based variable rate debt. Increases in interest rates would increase interest expenses relating to the outstanding variable rate borrowings and increase the cost of debt. Fluctuations in interest rates can also lead to significant fluctuations in the fair value of the debt obligations. On May 15, 2018, the Company entered into a four-year At inception, the Company designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge and the fair value of the interest rate swap was zero. As of April 4, 2022, the fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded as a liability in the amount of $1,385 and included as a component of other current liabilities. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, in the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets. No ineffectiveness was recognized for the quarters ended April 4, 2022 and March 29, 2021. The interest rate swap increased interest expense by $2,706 and $2,740 for the quarters ended April 4, 2022 and March 29, 2021, respectively. Foreign Exchange Contracts The Company’s foreign subsidiaries may at times purchase forward exchange contracts to manage their foreign currency risks in relation to certain purchases of machinery denominated in foreign currencies other than the Company’s functional currencies. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts as of April 4, 2022 was approximately $1,625 (Euro (EUR) 1.4 million). There were no foreign exchange contracts as of January 3, 2022. Commodity Price Risk Management The Company uses various raw materials in the manufacturing of PCBs. In particular, the Company has been experiencing increasing prices and lead times of copper clad laminates (CCLs), a key raw material for the manufacture of PCBs. CCLs are made from epoxy resin, glass cloth and copper foil, all of which are seeing limited supply and resulting increased prices. The Company only buys a small amount of copper directly. However, copper is a major driver of laminate cost. As such, the Company enters into commodity contracts to hedge copper as a proxy for hedging laminate. As of April 4, 2022, the Company has commodity contracts with a notional quantity of (i) 0.5 metric tonnes for the period beginning April 5, 2022 and ending on June 29, 2022, (ii) 0.6 metric tonnes for the period beginning June 30, 2022 and ending on October 3, 2022, (iii) 0.7 metric tonnes for the period beginning October 4, 2022 and ending on January 3, 2023, and (iv) 0.7 metric tonnes for the period beginning January 1, 2023 and ending on March 31, 2023. As of April 4, 2022, the fair value of the commodity contracts was recorded as an asset in the amount of $1,699 and included as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets. The changes in the fair value of these commodity contracts are recorded in cost of goods sold in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. The commodity contracts decreased The fair values of derivative instruments in the consolidated condensed balance sheets are as follows: Asset/(Liability) Fair Value Balance Sheet Location April 4, 2022 January 3, 2022 (In thousands) Cash flow derivative instruments designated as hedges: Interest rate swap Other current liabilities $ (1,385 ) $ (4,295 ) Cash flow derivative instruments not designated as hedges: Commodity contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1,699 297 Foreign exchange contracts Other current liabilities (52 ) — The following table provides information about the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, as well as the amounts recorded in each caption in the consolidated condensed statements of operations when derivative amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the quarters ended April 4, 2022 and March 29, 2021: Quarter Ended April 4, 2022 Quarter Ended March 29, 2021 Financial Statement Caption Gain Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income Loss Reclassified into Income Loss Recognized in Other Comprehensive Loss Loss Reclassified into Income (In thousands) Cash flow hedge: Interest rate swap Interest expense $ 204 $ (2,706 ) $ (351 ) $ (2,740 ) The following table provides a summary of the activity associated with the designated cash flow hedges reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the quarters ended April 4, 2022 and March 29, 2021: Quarter Ended April 4, March 29, 2022 2021 (In thousands) Beginning balance, net of tax $ (3,223 ) $ (11,231 ) Changes in fair value gain (loss), net of tax 153 (263 ) Reclassification to earnings 2,034 2,052 Ending balance, net of tax $ (1,036 ) $ (9,442 ) Based on the current yield curve, the Company expects that losses of approximately $1,087 of the accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into the statement of operations, net of tax, in the next quarter since the interest rate swap arrangement is expiring on June 1, 2022. |
