Variable and Fixed Rate Debt
Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is due to changes in interest
rates. Pursuant to the terms of our Revolving Credit Agreement, changes in daily LIBOR could affect
the rates at which we could borrow funds thereunder. At January 31, 2015, there was $17.0 million in
outstanding borrowings under the agreement. Additionally, we have a $200.0 million Term Loan that
bears an interest rate payable by the Company of LIBOR, subject to a 1.25% floor, plus 3.00%.
Excluding our interest rate swap, a one percent change in the LIBOR rate would have affected net
earnings by approximately $1.9 million for fiscal 2014. The risks related to changes in the LIBOR rate
are substantially mitigated by our interest rate swap.
The fair value of our long-term debt including current maturities was $211.0 million at January 31,
2015. We determine fair value on our fixed rate debt by using quoted market prices and current
interest rates.
Interest Rate Swaps
On October 11, 2012, we settled our interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge on
$145.0 million of our Term Loan prior to its amendment and restatement. The swap was used to
minimize interest rate exposure and overall interest costs by converting the variable component of the
total interest rate to a fixed rate of 5.04%. Since February 1, 2008, this swap was deemed to be fully
effective and all adjustments in the interest rate swap’s fair value have been recorded to accumulated
other comprehensive loss. The settlement of this swap resulted in an interest charge of $7.5 million,
which was previously recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss.
On October 11, 2012, we entered into two new interest rate swaps for a notional amount of
$50.0 million each that together are designated as a cash flow hedge on the first $100.0 million of the
amended and restated Term Loan. The interest rate swaps convert the variable LIBOR portion of the
interest payments, subject to a floor of 1.25%, due on the first $100.0 million of the Term Loan to a
fixed rate of 1.86%.
As of January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014, the fair value of the new interest rate swaps was a
net $0.6 million liability and a $0.6 million asset, respectively. The swap value is recorded within other
long-term assets or other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet.
