| Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company holds derivative instruments for the purpose of minimizing exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and benchmark interest rates to which the Company is exposed in the normal course of its operations. Cash Flow Hedge On October 9, 2013, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap instrument, which had a notional amount of $100.0 million, an effective date of September 30, 2014 and a maturity date of September 30, 2018. The objective of the instrument was to, beginning on September 30, 2014, protect the Company from changes in benchmark interest rates to which the Company was exposed through certain of its variable interest rate credit facilities. The instrument provided for a fixed interest rate of 1.901% up to the maturity date. The interest rate swap instrument was designated as a cash flow hedging instrument and accordingly changes in the effective portion of the fair value of the instrument have been recorded in other comprehensive income and only reclassified into earnings in the period(s) in which the related hedged item affects earnings or the anticipated underlying hedged transactions are no longer probable of occurring. In April 2017, the Company elected to terminate the interest rate swap instrument. The Company paid $0.9 million to terminate the instrument. This cash payment is presented as a financing cash outflow in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effects of fluctuations in exchange rates on outstanding intercompany loans. The Company does not formally designate and document such derivative instruments as hedging instruments; however, the instruments are an effective economic hedge of the underlying foreign currency exposure. Both the gain or loss on the derivative instrument and the offsetting gain or loss on the underlying intercompany loan are recognized in earnings immediately, thereby eliminating or reducing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on net income. The following table sets forth the notional value of the Company's outstanding derivative instruments.
The following table sets forth the gains and losses (before the related income tax effects) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI") and income (loss) related to the Company’s derivative instruments for the three months ended April 30, 2018 and 2017:
(a) No material hedge ineffectiveness has been recognized. The amounts shown in income (loss) above are reclassification amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are recorded in floorplan interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. (b) Amounts are included in interest income and other income in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended April 30, 2017, the Company reclassified $0.6 million of pre-tax accumulated losses on its interest rate swap instrument from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to income as the original forecasted interest payments, which served as the hedged item underlying the interest rate swap instrument, were no longer probable of occurring during the time period over which such transactions were previously anticipated to occur. |
