Derivatives | NOTE 11. DERIVATIVES Derivative Financial Instruments – Aluminum Contracts We enter into aluminum forward contracts to hedge the fluctuations in the purchase price of aluminum extrusion we use in production. Certain of our contracts are designated as cash flow hedges since they are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows attributable to forecasted purchases of aluminum. For further discussion of our derivative financial instruments relating to aluminum contracts, see Note 9 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2015. We maintain a $2.0 million line of credit with our commodities broker to cover the liability position of open contracts for the purchase of aluminum in the event that the price of aluminum falls. Should the price of aluminum fall to a level which causes our liability for open aluminum contracts to exceed $2.0 million, we are required to fund daily margin calls to cover the excess. As of October 3, 2015, no amounts were borrowed under this line of credit. At October 3, 2015, the fair value of our aluminum forward contracts was in a net liability position of $167 thousand, and had two outstanding forward contracts for the purchase of 0.8 million pounds of aluminum through December 2015, at an average price of $0.93 per pound, which excludes the Midwest premium, with maturity dates of between one month and two months. We assessed the risk of non-performance of the Company to these contracts and recorded a de minimis adjustment to fair value as of October 3, 2015. For the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015, and September 27, 2014, our outstanding contracts did not qualify as effective. In the case of our two outstanding contracts as of October 3, 2015, these contracts were never evaluated for or considered as qualifying for accounting as cash flow hedges. Effectiveness of aluminum forward contracts is determined by comparing the change in the fair value of the forward contract to the change in the expected cash to be paid for the hedged item. The effective portion of the gain or loss on our aluminum forward contracts is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and is reclassified into earnings in the same line item in the income statement as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the transaction affects earnings. When a cash flow hedge becomes ineffective, and if the forecasted hedged transaction is still probable of occurrence, amounts previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are recognized in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The changes in value of the aluminum forward contracts occurring after ineffectiveness and the contracts that had not been evaluated for or considered as qualifying for accounting as cash flow hedges, are recognized in other expense, net, on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The adjustments relating to changes in value of aluminum forward contracts occurring after ineffectiveness were other income of $54 thousand for the three months ended and September 27, 2014, and other expenses of $224 thousand and other income of $182 thousand for the nine months ended October 3, 2015, and September 27, 2014, respectively. The adjustments relating to changes in value of aluminum contracts that had not been evaluated for or considered as qualifying for accounting as cash flow hedges were $131 thousand in the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015. As of October 3, 2015, we have no remaining accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Derivative Financial Instruments – Interest Rate Contract We had an interest rate cap agreement we entered into on September 16, 2013. It is a two-year agreement with a notional amount of $20.0 million; and was initially designated as a cash flow hedge to protect the variable rate debt from an increase in the floating, one-month LIBOR rate of greater than 0.50%. Upon entering into the 2014 Credit Agreement, effective on September 22, 2014, it was de-designated as a cash flow hedge and has since been marked-to-market in other expense, net, on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and were either zero or de minimis for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015, and September 27, 2014, respectively.
