As a global supplier of office products and services the Company is exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, fuel and
other commodity prices and interest rates. Depending on the exposure, settlement timeframe and other factors, the Company may enter into derivative
transactions to mitigate those risks. Financial instruments authorized under the Company’s established risk management policy include spot trades, swaps,
options, caps, collars, forwards and futures. Use of derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes is expressly prohibited. The Company may
designate and account for such qualifying arrangements as hedges. As of December 26, 2015, the foreign exchange contracts extend through December 2016
and fuel contracts extended through January 2017.
The fair values of the Company’s foreign currency contracts and fuel contracts are the amounts receivable or payable to terminate the agreements at the
reporting date, taking into account current interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices. The values are based on market-based inputs or unobservable
inputs that are corroborated by market data. At December 26, 2015, Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets includes $2
million related to derivative fuel contracts.
