Hedge Accounting Section Objectives

After completing this section, you should be able to: Determine whether a contract is scoped into the

standards and, if so, whether it is

– Qualified for Hedge Accounting

– Treated as a cash flow, fair value, or FX hedge

Understand the basic journal entries Cry out loud if forced to implement the standards

1-7

FOUR CORNERSTONES

Derivatives are contracts that create rights and obligations that meet the definitions of assets and liabilities

Fair value is the only relevant measure for derivatives

Value risk can be hedged into cash flow risk, and cash flow risk can be hedged into value risk, but both risks cannot simultaneously be eliminated.

Hedge effectiveness tests can be varied with the type of risk being hedged.

1-8

KEY ASPECTS OF THE STANDARDS

Most derivatives are reported at fair value on balance sheet Changes in fair value for derivatives not designated and

qualifying in a hedging relationship are recorded in earnings Hedge accounting is provided for the change in value of

derivatives designated and qualifying as: Fair value hedges Cash flow hedges Foreign currency hedges

Hedge effectiveness tests may be tough hurdles over time

DERIVATIVES IMPLEMENTATIONGROUP (DIG)

DIG is made up of FASB staff members, Big 5 members and Industry professionals. Active DIG observers include the SEC and certain regulators.

DIG’s mandate is to assist the FASB in answering implementation questions by identifying practice issues that arise from applying Statement 133 and to advise the FASB staff on how to resolve the issues.

Issues are discussed by DIG, tentatively concluded by the FASB staff and posted on the FASB website (www.fasb.org) for two months before being presented to the Board for negative clearance.

DERIVATIVE DEFINITION ¶6–16

The definition is based on distinguishing characteristics A derivative instrument is a contract with all three of the

following characteristics (¶6): Underlying and either a notional amount or a payment

provision or both Relatively small initial net investment Net settlement or its equivalent (excludes most short sales &

Take-Or-Pays, but see FAS 133 Paragraph 290) Definition includes freestanding as well as embedded

derivative instruments A number of exclusions exist

1-12

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVESOverview

Statement 133 created a new definition of the term derivative

Some instruments that are not usually considered derivatives are included (e.g. certain purchase/sales contracts)

The definition is based on certain distinguishing characteristics.

Certain scope exceptions exist; not everything that meets the definition of a derivative is subject to the requirements of Statement 133.

1-13

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Three Characteristics ¶6–9 and 57

A derivative instrument is a contract with all three of the following characteristics:

1. Underlying and either a notional amount or a payment provision or both

2. No initial net investment or smaller initial net investment than contracts with similar responses to changes in market factors

3. Net settlement or its equivalent

1-14

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic 1—Underlying

¶7 and 57(a)

An underlying is a variable, such as: An interest rate (e.g., LIBOR) The price of a security or commodity (e.g., price of a

share of ABC stock or a bushel of wheat) A foreign exchange rate (e.g., Euro/U.S. $ spot rate) A measure of creditworthiness (e.g., Moody’s) An index on any of above or other (e.g., S&P 500, CPI) Other specific items

1-15

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic 1—Notional Amount ¶7

A notional amount is a number of: Currency units Shares Bushels Pounds Other units

Notional amount is used to determine the settlement amount (for example, a price x a number of shares)

1-16

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic 1—Examples of Underlyings and

Notional Amounts

Derivative Underlying Notional Amount

- Stock option - Stock price - Number of shares

- Currency forward - Exchange rate - Number of currency units

- Commodity future - Commodity price - Number of commodity units

- Interest rate swap - Interest index - Dollar amount

1-17

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic 1—

Payment Provision ¶7

A payment provision specifies a fixed or determinable settlement if the underlying behaves in a specified way.

For example:

if interest rates increase by say 300 basispoints then payment of an applicableamount would be required

1-18

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic 2—

Initial Net Investment ¶8 and 57(b)

A derivative requires either: No initial net investment A smaller initial net investment than other types of

contracts that have a similar response to changes in market factors

A derivative does not require an initial net investment of

the notional amount

An exchange of currencies is not a net investment

1-19

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic 3—Net Settlement

¶9 and 57(c)

There are 3 ways to meet the net settlement requirement:

1. Net settlement explicitly required or permitted by the contract (transfer of cash or other assets)

2. Net settlement by a market mechanism outside the contract (e.g., futures exchange)

3. Delivery of a derivative or an asset that is readily convertible to cash

1-20

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Characteristic 3—Readily Convertible

to Known Amounts of Cash ¶9 and 57(c)

Readily convertible assets have: Interchangeable (fungible) units Quoted prices available in an active market that

can rapidly absorb the quantity held by the entity without significantly affecting the price

For example: Public securities, commodities, and foreign

currencies

1-21

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Exceptions ¶10 and 58

The following are not subject to Statement 133: “Regular-way” security trades Normal purchases and normal sales Traditional insurance contracts Most financial guarantee contracts OTC contracts with certain underlyings Derivatives that are an impediment to sales

accounting

1-22

FAS 138Scope-Excluded Contracts

Normal purchase/sale exception expanded to include:

Contracts that permit net settlement (9a) Contracts that have a market mechanism to

facilitate net settlement (but note FAS 138)

As long as it is probable contracts will not settle As long as it is probable contracts will not settle net and will result in physical delivery (but note FAS 138 net and will result in physical delivery (but note FAS 138 and FAS 149)and FAS 149)

1-23

FAS 138 Scope-Excluded Contracts (Cont’d)

Net settlement of similar contracts should be rare

Excluded from exception:

• Contracts that require cash settlement or otherwise settle periodically

• Contracts that have price based on underlying unrelated to asset sold or purchased(1)

• Contracts denominated in foreign currency not meeting embedded derivative separation exception rules of paragraphs 15(a) and 15(b) (1)

(1) May be considered compound derivatives

1-24

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Exceptions OTC Contracts with

Certain Underlyings ¶10(e) and 58(c)

Climatic variables: Temperature Rain or snowfall totals Wind speed

Geological variables: Earthquake severity (Richter scale)

Other physical variables

1-25

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Exceptions—OTC Contracts with

Certain Underlyings ¶10(e) and 58(c)

The price or value of nonfinancial assets of one of the parties that is not readily convertible to cash or the price or value of nonfinancial liabilities of one of the parties that does not require delivery of readily convertible assets

Option to purchase or sell real estate owned by one party (even if it can be net settled)

Firm commitment to sell machinery (if unique)owned by one party (even if it can be net settled)

1-26

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Exceptions OTC Contracts with Certain

Underlyings ¶10(e) and 58(c)

Exceptions include specified volumes of sales or service revenues of one of the parties.

For example: Leases based on sales of the lessee Royalty agreements

1-27

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES Contracts Not Considered Derivativesfor Purposes of Statement 133, ¶11

Instruments indexed to an entity’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity

Stock-based compensation covered by Statement 123 (issuer only)

Contingent consideration in a business combination covered by Opinion 16 (purchaser only)

1-28

EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES Definition ¶12

Embedded derivatives are implicit or explicit terms that affect the cash flows or value of other exchanges required by a contract in a manner similar to a derivative

The combination of a host contract and an embedded derivative is referred to as a hybrid contract

Examples of hybrid contracts are: Structured notes Convertible securities Securities with caps, floors, or collars

1-33

FAIR VALUE HEDGE ¶20–22

A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to a change in fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment attributable to a particular risk. Key aspects:

Hedged item is exposed to price risk For a highly effective hedge, there must be offsetting fair

value changes for hedged item and hedging instrument Changes in fair value of hedged item and hedging

instrument are recorded in earnings Basis of hedged item is adjusted by the change in value

1-34

FAIR VALUE HEDGE ACCOUNTING

Key concepts: Derivatives are always adjusted on the balance sheet at fair value (i.e.,

marked-to-market) (¶17)

In qualified hedge accounting, the offset to changes in the hedging derivative is OCI for cash flow hedges but not for fair value hedges.

For a qualified fair value hedge, the offset is = “Firm Commitment” for a purchase contract with a contracted price = “Hedged Item” carrying value if the hedged item such as inventory is already on the books at historical cost

= “P&L” current earnings if the hedged item such as inventory is already on the books at fair value

CASH FLOW HEDGE ¶29–31

A cash flow hedge is a hedging relationship where the variability of the hedged item’s cash flows is offset by the cash flows of the hedging instrument. Key aspects:

• Hedged item may be a forecasted transaction with no contracted future price (i.e., not a firm commit.)

• Effective portion of derivative’s gain or loss reported in OCI

• Earnings recognition matches hedged transaction

• Ineffective gain or loss recorded in earnings

1-37

CASH FLOW HEDGE ACCOUNTING

Derivative instrument recorded at fair value, effective portion through OCI, ineffective through earnings

Amounts in OCI recognized in earnings when hedged transaction impacts earnings under FAS 133 but not under IAS 39. In other words, IAS 39 requires basis adjustment when the derivative expires whereas FAS 133 carries OCI forward until hedged item is disposed of in a transaction.

FOREIGN CURRENCY HEDGE ¶36–42 (as amended by FAS 138)

The Board intended to increase the consistency of hedge accounting guidance by broadening the scope of eligible foreign currency hedges. At the same time, the Board chose to continue certain prior practices. Key aspects:

Includes hedges of cash flow, fair value, and net investments in foreign operations

Carries forward the functional currency concept from Statement 52

Permits limited use of nonderivative instruments Expands hedge accounting, particularly for forecasted

transactions and tandem currency hedges

1-40

Hedging Instruments

For a fair value hedge of foreign exchange risk related to AFS securities or a recognized foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument, an entity can only use a derivative instrument

For a fair value hedge of foreign exchange risk related to a firm commitment, an entity can use either a derivative or a non-derivative instrument

For a cash flow hedge of a forecasted foreign currency denominated transaction (including forecasted intercompany transactions, recognized foreign-currency-denominated debt instruments and firm commitments accounted for as forecasted transactions), an entity can only use a derivative instrument

For a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, an entity can use either a derivative or a non-derivative instrument

CASE 1 Cash Flow Hedge of Forecasted Inventory Sale

ABC is hedging the risk of changes in cash flows related to a forecasted sale of 100,000 bushels of Commodity A to be sold at the end of period 1. The inventory carrying value is $1 million, and current market value is $1.1 million

On the first day of period 1, ABC enters into Derivative Z to sell 100,000 bushels at $1.1 million at the end of period

At hedge inception, the derivative is at-the-money (fair value is 0)

All terms of the commodity and the derivative match (i.e., no expected ineffectiveness)

On last day of Period 1, fair value of Derivative Z increased by $25,000 and expected sales price of 100,000 bushels of Commodity A decreased $25,000

From Example 4, Appendix B of Standard

Forecasted cash flows: $1,100,000

Actual cash flows:

Derivative $ 25,000

Sale of inventory 1,075,000

Total $1,100,000

The variability of cash flows related to the forecasted inventory sale is offset by change in value of derivative.

1-47

CASE 2Fair Value Hedge of Inventory

ABC has 1,000 bushels of a Commodity with a fair value of $1.1 million and a carrying value of $1.0 million

ABC wants to hedge overall fair value of the Commodity

On 1/1/X1, ABC enters into an at-the-money “matching” derivative to hedge the changes in fair value of the 1,000 bushels of the Commodity

1-48

CASE 2 (Cont’d)Fair Value Hedge of Inventory

Effectiveness will be assessed by comparing entire change in fair value of derivative to change in market price of inventory (time value will be ignored for illustration purposes only)

On 1/31/X1, the fair value of the derivative has increased by $25,000 and the fair value of the inventory has decreased by $25,000
