Maturities of Long-Term Debt. At July 28, 2007, annual maturities of long-term debt during the next five fiscal years and
thereafter are as follows (in millions):
2008 $
2009
2010
2011
2012
Thereafter 2,945.9
The above table does not reflect future excess cash flow prepayments, if any, that may be required under the Senior Secured
Term Loan Facility.
Interest Rate Swaps. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage its interest rate risk. Effective
December 6, 2005, NMG entered into floating to fixed interest rate swap agreements for an aggregate notional amount of
$1,000.0 million to limit its exposure to interest rate increases related to a portion of its floating rate indebtedness. The interest rate swap
agreements terminate after five years. At July 28, 2007, the fair value of NMG's interest rate swap agreements was a gain of
approximately $8.2 million, which amount is included in other assets.
As of the effective date, NMG designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. As a result, changes in the fair value of
NMG's swaps are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. At July 28, 2007, we have $3.7 million of unrecognized gains, net of
tax, on our interest rate swap agreements included in other comprehensive income.
As a result of the swap agreements, NMG's effective fixed interest rates as to the $1,000.0 million in floating rate indebtedness
will currently range from 6.482% to 6.733% per quarter through 2010 and result in an average fixed rate of 6.577%.
Interest expense. The significant components of interest expense are as follows:
