contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At March 31, 2016, Spectrum Brands had a series of zinc and brass swap contracts outstanding through September 2017. The derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $0.8, net of tax. Spectrum Brands had the following commodity swap contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015:
Foreign exchange contracts - not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Spectrum Brands periodically enters into forward and swap foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require Spectrum Brands to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros or Australian Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gain or loss on the foreign exchange contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At March 31, 2016, Spectrum Brands had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through May 2016. At March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, Spectrum Brands had $262.4 and $126.8, respectively, of notional value for such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding. Commodity Swaps - not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Spectrum Brands periodically enters into commodity swap contracts to economically hedge the risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically the pass-through of market prices for silver used in manufacturing purchased watch batteries. Spectrum Brands hedges a portion of the risk associated with these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The commodity swap contracts are designated as economic hedges with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in earnings and as an asset or liability at each period end. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the commodity swap contracts are adjusted through earnings when the realized gains or losses affect earnings upon settlement of the commodity swap contracts. The commodity swap contracts effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of silver through a specified date. At March 31, 2016, Spectrum Brands had a series of commodity swaps outstanding through August 2016. Spectrum Brands had the following commodity swap contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015:
Oil and natural gas commodity contracts. Compass’ natural gas and oil commodity contracts are comprised of swap contracts, collars and three-way collars (“Derivative Financial Instruments”). Swap contracts allow Compass to receive a fixed price and pay a floating market price to the counterparty for the hedged commodity. A three-way collar is a combination of options including a sold call, a purchased put and a sold put. A three-way collar allows Compass to participate in the upside of commodity prices to the ceiling of the call option and provides Compass with partial downside protection through the combination of the put options. Compass’ primary objective in entering into Derivative Financial Instruments is to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations, protect its returns on investments and achieve a more predictable cash flow in connection with its operations. These transactions limit exposure to declines in commodity prices, but also limit the benefits Compass would realize if commodity prices increase. When prices for oil and natural gas are volatile, a significant portion of the effect of its Derivative Financial Instruments management activities consists of non-cash income or expense due to changes in the fair value of its Derivative Financial Instruments. Cash losses or gains only arise from payments made or received on monthly settlements of contracts or if Compass terminates a contract prior to its expiration. Compass does not designate its Derivative Financial Instruments as hedging instruments for financial reporting purposes and, as a result, Compass recognizes the change in the respective Derivative Financial Instruments’ fair value in earnings. Settlements in the normal course of maturities of Derivative Financial Instruments result in cash receipts from, or cash disbursements to, Compass’ derivative contract counterparties. Changes in the fair value of Compass’ Derivative Financial Instruments, which includes both cash and non-cash changes in fair value, are included in “Net investment gains” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with a corresponding increase or decrease in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets fair value amounts. 18 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
