Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments The Company periodically uses derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge exposures to interest rates, commodity prices, and currency risks. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. For hedges that meet hedge accounting criteria, the Company, at inception, formally designates and documents the instruments as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge of a specific underlying exposure. On an ongoing basis, the Company assesses and documents that its designated hedges have been and are expected to continue to be highly effective. Interest Rate Risk The Company's policy is to manage exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt, monitoring global interest rates, and, where appropriate, hedging floating interest rate exposure or debt at fixed interest rates through various interest rate derivative instruments including, but not limited to, interest rate swaps, and interest rate locks. For interest rate swaps that are accounted for as fair value hedges, the gains and losses related to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are included in interest expense and offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying debt that are attributable to the changes in market interest rates. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that have not been designated as hedging instruments are reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income in other income/(expenses), net. On August 5, 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract for a notional amount of $500 million. Under the terms of the contract, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest of 4.30% and receives a variable rate of interest, based on compound overnight Secured Overnight Financing Rate (" SOFR"), effective from August 12, 2024, through June 30, 2025, with monthly settlements commencing on September 1, 2024. The interest rate swap contract will economically hedge the SOFR component of the Company's forecasted commercial paper issuances. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no other receive-variable/pay-fixed interest rate swaps outstanding. As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not have receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps outstanding. The Company did not apply hedge accounting on these economic hedging instruments. As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the total notional amount of the Company’s receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate swaps was $650 million. Foreign Currency Risk The Company manufactures and sells its products and finances operations in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The purpose of the Company's foreign currency hedging program is to manage the volatility associated with the changes in exchange rates. To manage this exchange rate risk, the Company utilizes forward contracts and cross currency swaps. Forward contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges of certain forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of these instruments is reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI") and reclassified into earnings in the same financial statement line item and in the same period or periods during which the related hedged transactions affect earnings. The ineffective portion is recognized in earnings over the life of the hedging relationship in the same consolidated statements of income line item as the underlying hedged item. Changes in the fair value of forward contracts that have not been designated as hedging instruments are reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. As of September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, the notional amount of the outstanding forward contracts was $0.6 billion. In May 2024, the Company entered into cross currency swap contracts for a total notional amount of $500 million. Under the terms of the contracts, the Company swapped the notional and periodic interest payments to Swiss francs to manage the foreign currency risk, and receives a fixed U.S. dollar rate of interest of 5.450% and pays a fixed weighted-average Swiss franc rate of interest of 2.218%. The Company has designated these cross currency swap contracts as a fair value hedge of $500 million notes and recognizes the components excluded from the hedging relationship in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI") and reclassifies into earnings through the accrual of the periodic interest settlements on the swaps. At September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company had cross currency swaps with a notional amount of $500 million outstanding. Commodity Risk Certain raw materials used in the Company's production processes are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, political and economic variables, and other unpredictable factors. The Company's policy is to minimize exposure to price volatility by passing through the commodity price risk to customers, including through the use of fixed price swaps. In some cases, the Company purchases, on behalf of customers, fixed price commodity swaps to offset the exposure of price volatility on the underlying sales contracts. These instruments are cash closed out on maturity and the related cost or benefit is passed through to customers. Information about commodity price exposure is derived from supply forecasts submitted by customers and these exposures are hedged by central treasury units. Changes in the fair value of commodity hedges are recognized in AOCI. The cumulative amount of the hedge is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income when the forecasted transaction is realized. The Company had the following outstanding commodity contracts to hedge forecasted purchases: September 30, 2024 June 30, 2024 Commodity Volume Volume Aluminum 19,797 tons 10,673 tons PET resin 17,800,000 lbs. 27,916,666 lbs.
