Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Darden
›
2011 Annual Report 57
initially designated as cash flow hedges to the extent the Darden stock units are
unvested and, therefore, unrecognized as a liability in our financial statements. As of
May 29, 2011, we were party to equity forward contracts that were indexed to 0.9 mil-
lion shares of our common stock, at varying forward rates between $27.57 per share
and $42.08 per share, extending through August 2015. The forward contracts can
only be net settled in cash. As the Darden stock units vest, we will de-designate that
portion of the equity forward contract that no longer qualifies for hedge accounting
and changes in fair value associated with that portion of the equity forward contract
will be recognized in current earnings. We periodically incur interest on the notional
value of the contracts and receive dividends on the underlying shares. These amounts
are recognized currently in earnings as they are incurred.
We entered into equity forward contracts to hedge the risk of changes in
future cash flows associated with recognized, cash-settled performance stock
units and employee-directed investments in Darden stock within the non-qualified
deferred compensation plan. The equity forward contracts are indexed to 0.2 million
shares of our common stock at forward rates between $23.41 and $50.19 per
share, can only be net settled in cash and expire between fiscal 2012 and 2016.
We did not elect hedge accounting with the expectation that changes in the fair
value of the equity forward contracts would offset changes in the fair value of
the performance stock units and Darden stock investments in the non-qualified
deferred compensation plan within selling, general and administrative expenses
in our consolidated statements of earnings.
The fair value of our derivative contracts designated as hedging instruments and derivative contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments are as follows:

(1) Generally, all of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges have some level of ineffectiveness, which is recognized currently in earnings. However, as these amounts are generally nominal and our consolidated financial statements
are presented “in millions,” these amounts may appear as zero in this tabular presentation.
(2) Location of the gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI to earnings as well as the gain (loss) recognized in earnings for the ineffective portion of the hedge is food and beverage costs and restaurant expenses, which are components of cost of sales.
(3) Location of the gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI to earnings as well as the gain (loss) recognized in earnings for the ineffective portion of the hedge is restaurant labor expenses, which is a component of cost of sales, and selling, general and
administrative expenses.
(4) Location of the gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI to earnings as well as the gain (loss) recognized in earnings for the ineffective portion of the hedge is food and beverage costs, which is a component of cost of sales, and selling, general and
administrative expenses.
