Derivatives | Derivatives The Company’s operating results are affected by changes to commodity prices. The Trade and Renewables businesses have established “unhedged” futures position limits (the amount of a commodity, either owned or contracted for, that does not have an offsetting derivative contract). To reduce the exposure to market price risk on commodities owned and forward purchase and sale contracts, the Company enters into exchange traded commodity futures and options contracts and over-the-counter forward and option contracts with various counterparties. These contracts are primarily traded via regulated commodity exchanges. The Company’s forward purchase and sales contracts are for physical delivery of the commodity in a future period. Contracts to purchase commodities from producers generally relate to the current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges. Most contracts for the sale of commodities to processors or other commercial consumers generally do not extend beyond one year. Most of these contracts meet the definition of derivatives. While the Company considers its commodity contracts to be effective economic hedges, the Company does not designate or account for its commodity contracts as hedges as defined under current accounting standards. The Company primarily accounts for its commodity derivatives at estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the commodity derivative contracts that require the receipt or posting of cash collateral is recorded on a net basis (offset against cash collateral posted or received, also known as margin deposits) within commodity derivative assets or liabilities. Management determines fair value based on exchange-quoted prices and in the case of its forward purchase and sale contracts, estimated fair value is adjusted for differences in local markets and non-performance risk. For contracts for which physical delivery occurs, balance sheet classification is based on estimated delivery date. For futures, options and over-the-counter contracts in which physical delivery is not expected to occur but, rather, the contract is expected to be net settled, the Company classifies these contracts as current or noncurrent assets or liabilities, as appropriate, based on the Company’s expectations as to when such contracts will be settled. Realized and unrealized gains and losses in the value of commodity contracts (whether due to changes in commodity prices, changes in performance or credit risk, or due to sale, maturity or extinguishment of the commodity contract) and commodity inventories are included in cost of sales and merchandising revenues. Generally accepted accounting principles permit a party to a master netting arrangement to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments against the right to reclaim cash collateral or obligation to return cash collateral under the same master netting arrangement. The Company has master netting arrangements for its exchange traded futures and options contracts and certain over-the-counter contracts. When the Company enters into a future, option or an over-the-counter contract, an initial margin deposit may be required by the counterparty. The amount of the margin deposit varies by commodity. If the market price of a future, option or an over-the-counter contract moves in a direction that is adverse to the Company’s position, an additional margin deposit, called a maintenance margin, is required. The margin deposit assets and liabilities are included in short-term commodity derivative assets or liabilities, as appropriate, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, a summary of the estimated fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments that require cash collateral and the associated cash posted/received as collateral. The net asset or liability positions of these derivatives (net of their cash collateral) are determined on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis and are included within current or non-current commodity derivative assets (or liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: (in thousands) June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 June 30, 2021 Cash collateral paid $ 70,442 $ 165,250 $ 219,469 Fair value of derivatives 165,223 (36,843) (180,842) Net derivative asset position $ 235,665 $ 128,407 $ 38,627 The following table presents, on a gross basis, current and non-current commodity derivative assets and liabilities: June 30, 2022 (in thousands) Commodity Derivative Assets - Current Commodity Derivative Assets - Noncurrent Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Current Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Noncurrent Total Commodity derivative assets $ 707,542 $ 14,257 $ 29,223 $ 1,945 $ 752,967 Commodity derivative liabilities (138,627) (2,132) (216,126) (12,040) (368,925) Cash collateral paid 69,442 — 1,000 — 70,442 Balance sheet line item totals $ 638,357 $ 12,125 $ (185,903) $ (10,095) $ 454,484 December 31, 2021 (in thousands) Commodity Derivative Assets - Current Commodity Derivative Assets - Noncurrent Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Current Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Noncurrent Total Commodity derivative assets $ 339,321 $ 4,677 $ 23,762 $ 1,209 $ 368,969 Commodity derivative liabilities (93,758) (105) (152,673) (2,578) (249,114) Cash collateral paid 165,250 — — — 165,250 Balance sheet line item totals $ 410,813 $ 4,572 $ (128,911) $ (1,369) $ 285,105 June 30, 2021 (in thousands) Commodity Derivative Assets - Current Commodity Derivative Assets - Noncurrent Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Current Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Noncurrent Total Commodity derivative assets $ 547,186 $ 16,480 $ 34,327 $ 423 $ 598,416 Commodity derivative liabilities (259,507) (873) (124,693) (3,874) (388,947) Cash collateral paid 219,469 — — — 219,469 Balance sheet line item totals $ 507,148 $ 15,607 $ (90,366) $ (3,451) $ 428,938 The net pre-tax gains and losses on commodity derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Gains on commodity derivatives included in Cost of sales and merchandising revenues $ 230,188 $ 73,688 $ 264,186 $ 240,673 The Company had the following volume of commodity derivative contracts outstanding (on a gross basis) at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021: June 30, 2022 (in thousands) Number of Bushels Number of Gallons Number of Tons Non-exchange traded: Corn 628,471 — — Soybeans 116,679 — — Wheat 97,224 — — Oats 37,355 — — Ethanol — 200,388 — Dried distillers grain — — 318 Soybean meal — — 421 Other 8,549 25,767 3,032 Subtotal 888,278 226,155 3,771 Exchange traded: Corn 219,020 — — Soybeans 69,115 — — Wheat 74,418 — — Oats 650 — — Ethanol — 94,794 — Propane — 25,578 — Other 95 546 360 Subtotal 363,298 120,918 360 Total 1,251,576 347,073 4,131 December 31, 2021 (in thousands) Number of Bushels Number of Gallons Number of Tons Non-exchange traded: Corn 685,681 — — Soybeans 77,592 — — Wheat 109,547 — — Oats 31,627 — — Ethanol — 192,447 — Dried distillers grain — — 507 Soybean meal — — 544 Other 57,268 16,092 1,854 Subtotal 961,715 208,539 2,905 Exchange traded: Corn 226,215 — — Soybeans 64,730 — — Wheat 65,020 — — Oats 1,300 — — Ethanol — 100,884 — Propane — 31,542 — Other 75 798 353 Subtotal 357,340 133,224 353 Total 1,319,055 341,763 3,258 June 30, 2021 (in thousands) Number of Bushels Number of Gallons Number of Tons Non-exchange traded: Corn 696,674 — — Soybeans 75,507 — — Wheat 129,264 — — Oats 45,810 — — Ethanol — 198,316 — Dried distillers grain — — 372 Soybean meal — — 411 Other 7,803 3,957 1,191 Subtotal 955,058 202,273 1,974 Exchange traded: Corn 243,190 — — Soybeans 49,375 — — Wheat 80,004 — — Oats 1,430 — — Ethanol — 112,812 — Propane — 18,480 — Other — 5 198 Subtotal 373,999 131,297 198 Total 1,329,057 333,570 2,172 Interest Rate and Other Derivatives The Company’s objectives for using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The gains or losses on the derivatives designated as hedging instruments are recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. At June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company had recorded the following amounts for the fair value of the Company's other derivatives: (in thousands) June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 June 30, 2021 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Interest rate contracts included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ — $ (174) $ — Interest rate contracts included in Other long-term liabilities — — (309) Foreign currency contracts included in Other current (liabilities) assets (1,749) (1,069) 1,523 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Interest rate contracts included in Other current assets $ 3,276 $ — $ — Interest rate contracts included in Other assets 15,047 4,574 3,849 Interest rate contracts included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities — (5,206) (6,944) Interest rate contracts included in Other long-term liabilities — (6,555) (11,506) The recording of derivatives gains and losses and the financial statement line in which they are located are as follows: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Interest rate derivative gains (losses) included in Interest expense, net $ 114 $ 355 $ 123 $ 709 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Interest rate derivative gains (losses) included in Other comprehensive income (loss) $ 8,923 $ 2,471 $ 25,464 $ (10,476) Interest rate derivative gains (losses) included in Interest expense, net (1,013) (1,656) (2,631) (3,273) Outstanding interest rate derivatives, as of June 30, 2022, are as follows: Interest Rate Hedging Instrument Year Entered Year of Maturity Initial Notional Amount Description Interest Rate Long-term Swap 2019 2025 $ 100.0 Interest rate component of debt - accounted for as a hedge 2.3% Swap 2019 2025 $ 50.0 Interest rate component of debt - accounted for as a hedge 2.4% Swap 2019 2025 $ 50.0 Interest rate component of debt - accounted for as a hedge 2.4% Swap 2020 2030 $ 50.0 Interest rate component of debt - accounted for as a hedge 0.0% to 0.8% Swap 2020 2030 $ 50.0 Interest rate component of debt - accounted for as a hedge 0.0% to 0.8% Swap 2022 2025 $ 20.0 Interest rate component of debt - accounted for as a hedge 2.6% Swap 2022 2029 $ 100.0 Interest rate component of debt - accounted for as a hedge 2.0% |
