126 // DELHAIZE GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS’12
operations also entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps, exchanging the principal amounts (500 million for $670 million)
and interest payments (both variable), in order to cover the foreign currency exposure of the entity in connection with the
transaction described above. Delhaize Group did not apply hedge accounting to this transaction because this swap constitutes
an economic hedge with Delhaize America, LLC’s underlying €500 million term loan.
Also, Delhaize Group enters into foreign currency swaps with various commercial banks to hedge foreign currency risk on
intercompany loans denominated in currencies other than its reporting currency.
The table below indicates the principal terms of the currency swaps outstanding at December 31, 2012. Changes in fair value of
these swaps are recorded in “Finance costs” or “Income from investments” in the income statement:
