Cash Flow Hedge
In July 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to protect itself from an increase in the market interest rate on $250 million of 10-
year, fixed rate debt with the coupon to be set at market interest rates. The interest rate swap agreement was designated as a cash flow hedge under the guidance
for derivatives and hedging. In August 2010, upon issuance of the related fixed-rate debt, the Company terminated and settled the interest rate swap agreement
for a cash payment of $8.7 million. The Company recorded the effective portion of this deferred loss as a component of accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss). The ineffective portion was recognized immediately as a component of earnings under interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements
of income. The effective portion of the deferred loss is being amortized over the term of the related debt as interest expense in the Company’s consolidated
statements of income.
The following represents the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax by component for the year ended December 31, 2013:
