This implementation guidance discusses the application of the guidance in paragraph 815-20-25-12(b)(1) that the individual assets or individual liabilities within a portfolio hedged in a fair value hedge shall share the risk exposure for which they are designated as being hedged. If the change in fair value of a hedged portfolio attributable to the hedged risk was 10 percent during a reporting period, the change in the fair values attributable to the hedged risk for each item constituting the portfolio should be expected to be within a fairly narrow range, such as 9 percent to 11 percent. In contrast, an expectation that the change in fair value attributable to the hedged risk for individual items in the portfolio would range from 7 percent to 13 percent would be inconsistent with the requirement in that paragraph.

If the hedging instrument is a derivative with a notional amount that changes over time (for example, an amortizing-notional interest rate swap), the condition in paragraph 815-20-55-14A(b) can be satisfied because the swap has a contractual fixed rate and, thus, the hedged item can be measured on the basis of a single benchmark component of the contractual coupon cash flows in accordance with paragraph 815-25-35-13. An entity that designates a derivative with a notional amount that changes over time as a hedging instrument is designating a single hedging relationship with a single benchmark rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows.

The future sale of an asset or settlement of a liability that exposes an entity (consistent with the criterion in paragraph 815-20-25-15(c)(2)) to the risk of a change in fair value may result in recognizing a gain or loss in earnings when the sale or settlement occurs. Changes in market price could change the amount for which the asset or liability could be sold or settled and, consequently, change the amount of gain or loss recognized. Forecasted transactions that expose an entity to cash flow risk have the potential to affect reported earnings because the amount of related revenue or expense may differ depending on the price eventually paid or received. Thus, an entity could designate the forecasted sale of a product at the market price at the date of sale as a hedged transaction because revenue will be recorded at that future sales price.

This guidance discusses the implementation of paragraph 815-20-25-15(i). An entity enters into a contract that requires it to pay a total contract price based on the VWX sugar index on the date of purchase plus a variable basis differential related to transportation costs. The entity may use a derivative instrument whose underlying is the price of sugar or any other underlying for which the derivative would be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows in a cash flow hedge of its forecasted purchases under the contract. In accordance with paragraph 815-20-25-15(i), the entity may designate as the risk being hedged the risk of changes in the cash flows relating to all changes in the purchase price of the items being acquired under the contract. The entity also may designate the variability in cash flows attributable to changes in the contractually specified component (VWX sugar index) as the hedged risk. In that case, the entity not only must consider whether the VWX sugar index is explicitly referenced in the purchase agreement but also must ensure that the requirements in paragraph 815-20-25-22A are met. In both scenarios, the entity must determine that all the criteria for cash flow hedges are satisfied, including that the hedging relationship is highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk during the term of the hedge.

815-20-65-7This guidance discusses several hedge designation methods that an entity may use when hedging the purchase of a nonfinancial asset. An entity enters into a contract that requires it to pay a total contract price based on the VWX sugar index on the date of purchase plus a variable basis differential related to transportation costs. The entity may use a derivative instrument whose underlying is the price of sugar or any other underlying for which the derivative would be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk in a cash flow hedge of its forecasted purchases under the contract. In accordance with paragraph 815-20-25-15(i)(2), the entity may designate as the risk being hedged the risk of changes in the cash flows relating to all changes in the purchase price of the items being acquired under the contract. In accordance with paragraph 815-20-25-15(i)(3), the entity also may designate the variability in cash flows attributable to changes in a component (or subcomponent) of the purchase price of the nonfinancial asset as the hedged risk. In this Example, the entity could designate as the hedged risk the VWX sugar index or the variable basis differential related to transportation costs, both of which are variable components explicitly referenced in the purchase agreement if the conditions in paragraph 815-20-25-22C(b)(1) are met. The entity also could designate a subcomponent of either the VWX sugar index or transportation costs as the hedged risk. If designating a subcomponent, the entity must ensure that the conditions in paragraph 815-20-25-22C(b)(2)are met. In all scenarios, the entity must determine that all the criteria for cash flow hedges are satisfied, including that the hedging relationship is highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk during the term of the hedge.

815-20-65-7An entity should determine that the risk exposures being hedged in a group of forecasted transactions are similar by applying either of the following methods:
  1. a
    The entity determines whether the designated hedging instrument is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows attributable to each hedged risk in the group, assessed on an individual basis, by applying the guidance in paragraph 815-20-25-79 and paragraphs

  2. b
    The entity determines whether each hedged risk related to a forecasted transaction hedged in a group is similar to each other hedged risk in the group. In that assessment, an entity should use the same threshold applied to determine whether a relationship is highly effective. When assessing whether hedged risks in a group of forecasted transactions are similar, an entity should consider the guidance in paragraph 815-20-25-79 as well as the guidance in paragraphs
    815-30-35-10 through 35-32

An entity should not be able to choose when to reclassify into earnings a gain or loss on a hedging instrument in accumulated other comprehensive income after the gain or loss has occurred by asserting that the instrument hedges a transaction that has or has not yet occurred. However, this Subtopic does not require that an entity be able to specify at the time of entering into a hedge the date on which the hedged forecasted transaction will occur.

The definition of a contractually specified component is considered to be met if the component is explicitly referenced in agreements that support the price at which a nonfinancial asset will be purchased or sold. For example, an entity intends to purchase a commodity in the commodity's spot market. If as part of the governing agreements of the transaction or commodities exchange it is noted that prices are based on a pre-defined formula that includes a specific index and a basis, those agreements may be utilized to identify a contractually specified component. After an entity determines that a contractually specified component exists, it must assess whether the variability in cash flows attributable to changes in the contractually specified component may be designated as the hedged risk in accordance with paragraphs

This guidance discusses the implementation of paragraphs 815-20-25-22B and 815-30-35-37A. Entity A's objective is to hedge the variability in cash flows attributable to changes in a contractually specified component in forecasted purchases of a specified quantity of soybeans on various dates during June 20X1. Entity A has executed contracts to purchase soybeans only through the end of March 20X1. Entity A's contracts to purchase soybeans typically are based on the ABC soybean index price plus a variable basis differential representing transportation costs. Entity A expects that the forecasted purchases during June 20X1 will be based on the ABC soybean index price plus a variable basis differential.

On January 1, 20X1, Entity A enters into a forward contract indexed to the ABC soybean index that matures on June 30, 20X1. The forward contract is designated as a hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge in which the hedged item is documented as the forecasted purchases of a specified quantity of soybeans during June 20X1. As of the date of hedge designation, Entity A expects the contractually specified component that will be in the contract once it is executed to be the ABC soybean index. Therefore, in accordance with paragraph 815-20-25-3(d)(1), Entity A documents as the hedged risk the variability in cash flows attributable to changes in the contractually specified ABC soybean index in the not-yet-existing contract.

As part of its normal process of assessing whether it remains probable that the hedged forecasted transactions will occur, on March 31, 20X1, Entity A determines that the forecasted purchases of soybeans in June 20X1 will occur but that the price of the soybeans to be purchased will be based on the XYZ soybean index rather than the ABC soybean index. As of March 31, 20X1, Entity A begins assessing the hedge effectiveness of the hedging relationship on the basis of the changes in cash flows associated with the forecasted purchases of soybeans attributable to variability in the XYZ soybean index. Because the hedged forecasted transactions (that is, purchases of soybeans) are still probable of occurring, Entity A may continue to apply hedge accounting if the hedging instrument (indexed to the ABC soybean index) is highly effective at achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the revised contractually specified component (the XYZ soybean index).

This guidance addresses the application of the criteria in Section 815-20-25 to an unrecognized, nonvested stock appreciation right as a hedged item. An unrecognized, nonvested stock appreciation right relates to the portion of the stock appreciation right liability that has not yet been accrued. It does not refer to future fair value changes in the recognized liability for the vested portion of the stock appreciation right. To the extent that vesting of stock appreciation rights is probable, a purchased call option indexed to an entity's own stock that is recorded as an asset and accounted for as a derivative instrument may be designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of cash flow variability of expected future obligations associated with unrecognized, nonvested stock appreciation rights if the option is classified as an asset in the entity's financial statements and the option is a derivative instrument subject to Subtopic 815-10. Presumably, if using this strategy, hedge effectiveness typically would be assessed based on changes in the entire value of the purchased call option, rather than just the intrinsic value of the option because the fair value of the unrecognized, nonvested stock appreciation rights likewise consists of a time value portion and an intrinsic value portion. Because an unrecognized, nonvested stock appreciation right results in exposure to cash flow variability of expected future obligations that affects reported earnings, it is eligible to be designated as being hedged. A stock appreciation right that is recognized as a liability may not be designated as being hedged in a cash flow hedge because the hedged cash flow variability in a recognized stock appreciation right relates to a liability that is remeasured with changes in fair value reported currently in earnings. The hedge of exposure to cash flow variability in an unrecognized, nonvested stock appreciation right could be expected to be highly effective. The entity's stock price is the underlying for both the unrecognized, nonvested stock appreciation right and the option on the entity's own stock. Changes in fair value of the purchased call option on the entity's own stock would be recorded in other comprehensive income consistent with paragraph 815-30-35-3. As required by paragraphs
815-30-35-38 through 35-41
, the amount in other comprehensive income would be reclassified into earnings concurrent with the recognition in earnings of compensation cost on the stock appreciation right that relates to those fair value changes that occurred during the hedge period over the requisite service period.

A first-payments-received technique for identifying the hedged forecasted transactions (that is, the hedged interest payments) may be used in a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk associated with interest payments for a rolling portfolio of prepayable interest-bearing loans (or other interest-bearing financial assets), provided all other conditions for a cash flow hedge have been met. Such a technique involves identifying the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge as the first interest payments based on the contractually specified interest rate received by an entity during each recurring period of a specified length and beginning date for the period covered by the hedging instrument. Example 4, Case A (see paragraphs
815-20-55-91 through 55-96

815-20-65-7A first-payments-received technique for identifying the hedged forecasted transactions (that is, the hedged interest payments) may be used in a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk associated with interest payments for a rolling portfolio of prepayable interest-bearing loans (or other interest-bearing financial assets) if all other conditions for a cash flow hedge have been met. Such a technique involves identifying the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge as the first interest payments based on the contractually specified interest rate received by an entity during each recurring period of a specified length and beginning date for the period covered by the hedging instrument. Example 4, Case A (see paragraphs
815-20-55-91 through 55-96A

An entity may not treat foreign-currency-denominated fixed-rate interest coupon payments arising from an issuance of foreign-currency-denominated fixed-rate debt as an unrecognized firm commitment that may be designated as a hedged item in a foreign currency fair value hedge. (See paragraph 815-20-25-23.) The foreign-currency exposure of the future interest payments would not meet this Subtopic's definition of an unrecognized firm commitment because the obligation is recognized on the balance sheet—that is, the carrying amount of the foreign-currency-denominated fixed-rate debt incorporates the entity's obligation to make those future interest payments as well as the repayment of principal.

815-20-65-7A foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument that is designated as the hedging instrument in a net investment hedge may also be designated as the hedged item in a fair value hedge of interest rate risk. The two hedging relationships address separate risk types that are permitted to be hedged individually under this Subtopic. When a foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument is designated as both a hedging instrument and a hedged item, an entity should exclude from the assessment of effectiveness in the net investment hedging relationship the fair value hedge basis adjustment resulting from designating the foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument in the fair value hedge. In those situations, an entity should recognize gains and losses from the remeasurement of the foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument’s fair value basis adjustment at the spot exchange rate currently in earnings in accordance with Subtopic 830-20. If the fair value hedge of the foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument is subsequently discontinued in accordance with the guidance in Section 815-25-40, an entity should consider the foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument’s fair value hedge basis adjustment when prospectively assessing the effectiveness of the net investment hedge after the date of discontinuing the fair value hedge. Excluding the fair value hedge basis adjustment from the assessment of effectiveness in the designated net investment hedging relationship should not be applied by analogy to other circumstances. Example 10 (see paragraph 815-20-55-127) illustrates the circumstances in which a foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument that is designated as the hedging instrument in a net investment hedge also is designated as the hedged item in a fair value hedge of interest rate risk.

The offset criterion in paragraph 815-20-25-75 precludes hedge accounting for certain risk management techniques, such as hedges of strategic risk. For example, a U.S. manufacturer, with no export business, that designates a forward contract to buy U.S. dollars (USD) for Japanese yen (JPY) as a hedge of its USD sales would fail the requirement that the cash flows of the derivative instrument are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows on the hedged transaction. A weakened JPY might allow a competitor to sell goods imported from Japan more cheaply, undercutting the domestic manufacturer's prices and reducing its sales volume and revenues. However, it would be difficult for the U.S. manufacturer to expect a high degree of offset between a decline in U.S. sales revenue due to increased competition and cash inflows on a foreign currency derivative instrument. Any relationship between the exposure and the hedging derivative typically would be quite indirect, would depend on price elasticities, and would be only one of many factors influencing future results. In addition, the risk that a desired or expected number of transactions will not occur, that is, the potential absence of a transaction, is not a hedgeable risk for accounting purposes.

This Subtopic does not permit hedge accounting for covered call strategies (strategies in which an entity writes an option on an asset that it owns) unless that asset is a call option that is embedded in another instrument. In a covered call strategy, any loss on the written option will be covered by the gain on the owned asset. A covered call strategy will not qualify for hedge accounting because the risk profile of the combined position is asymmetrical (the exposure to losses is greater than the potential for gains). In contrast, the risk profile of the asset alone is symmetrical or better (the potential for gains is at least as great as the exposure to losses). The symmetry requirement for hedges with written options precludes a written option that is used to sell a portion of the gain potential on an asset or liability from being eligible for hedge accounting.

Because that mixed-attribute contract is a derivative instrument and has an underlying related solely to changes in the basis differential, that contract (as a derivative instrument) would generally not be sufficiently effective if designated as the sole hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge of the anticipated purchase or sale of the commodity—a forecasted transaction whose variability in cash flows is based on changes in both the basis differential and the base commodity price. Because its underlying relates solely to changes in the basis differential, the mixed-attribute contract would essentially be hedging only a portion of the variability in cash flows. The entity is not permitted to designate a cash flow hedging relationship as hedging only the change in cash flows attributable to changes in the basis differential. For an entity to be able to conclude that such a hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows, the entity would need to consider the likelihood of changes in the base commodity price as remote or insignificant to the variability in hedged cash flows (for the total purchase or sales price). However, the mixed-attribute contract may be combined with another derivative instrument whose underlying is the base commodity price, with the combination of those derivative instruments designated as the hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge of the overall variability of cash flows for the anticipated purchase or sale of the commodity. Such a combination would address the risk of changes in both the basis differential and the base commodity price.

This Subtopic permits a hedging relationship to be dedesignated (that is, discontinued) at any time. (See paragraphs 815-25-40-1(c) and 815-30-40-1(c).) If an entity wishes to change any of the critical terms of the hedging relationship (including the method designated for use in assessing hedge effectiveness), as documented at inception, the mechanism provided in this Subtopic to accomplish that change is the dedesignation of the original hedging relationship and the designation of a new hedging relationship that incorporates the desired changes. However, as discussed in paragraph 815-30-35-37A, a change to the hedged risk in a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction does not result in an automatic dedesignation of the hedging relationship if the hedging instrument continues to be highly effective at achieving offsetting cash flows associated with the hedged item attributable to the revised hedged risk. The dedesignation of an original hedging relationship and the designation of a new hedging relationship represents the application of this Subtopic and is not a change in accounting principle under Topic 250, even though the new hedging relationship may differ from the original hedging relationship only with respect to the method designated for use in assessing the hedge effectiveness of that hedging relationship.

Some entities may wish to assess hedge effectiveness based on the change in an option's value excluding a certain aspect of the change in the option's time value. For example, some entities may wish to exclude the change in time value attributable to the passage of time (theta) from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, while assessing hedge effectiveness based on the remaining components of changes in an option's value. As an illustration, if out-of-the-money options are designated as hedging instruments, changes in value of the option are primarily driven by the change, if any, in the value of the underlying (delta). If the price of the underlying asset changes, in effective hedging strategies involving out-of-the-money options, the hedge gain or loss due to delta would offset the change in value of the hedged item; however, if the price of the underlying does not change, there is no change in fair value attributable to changes in delta. In that case, the only change in the option's value is attributable to the passage of time (theta), or to changes in other market variables such as volatilities or interest rates. Accordingly, for those hedging relationships to qualify for hedge accounting, an entity may need to exclude the change in value attributable to theta from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

Entities that service certain types of financial assets may wish to designate as the hedged item in a fair value hedge a prespecified percentage of the total change in fair value of those servicing rights (attributable to the hedged risk) that varies based on changes in a specified independent variable. Because the prespecified percentage for each specified independent variable can be presented in a rectangular array, that method of determining the hedged item retroactively based on the actual independent variable is sometimes referred to as the matrix method.

That approach is in contrast to designating the hedged item at the inception of the hedge by specifying a single percentage of that recognized servicing right asset as the hedged item.

As discussed in paragraph 815-20-25-80, if an entity assesses hedge effectiveness on a quantitative basis and elects at the inception of a hedging relationship to utilize a regression analysis approach for prospective considerations of assessing effectiveness and the dollar-offset method to perform retrospective evaluations of assessing effectiveness, then that entity must abide by the results of that methodology as long as that hedging relationship remains designated. Thus, in its retrospective evaluation, an entity might conclude that, under a dollar-offset approach, a designated hedging relationship does not qualify for hedge accounting for the period just ended, but that the hedging relationship may continue because, under a regression analysis approach, there is an expectation that the relationship will be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows in future periods. In its retrospective evaluation, if that entity concludes that, under a dollar-offset approach, the hedging relationship has not been highly effective in having achieved offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows, hedge accounting may not be applied in the current period. Whenever a hedging relationship fails to qualify for hedge accounting in a certain assessment period, the overall change in fair value of the derivative instrument for that current period is recognized in earnings (not reported in other comprehensive income for a cash flow hedge) and the change in fair value of the hedged item would not be recognized in earnings for that period (for a fair value hedge).

A debt instrument may contain various terms and provisions that permit either the debtor or the creditor to cause prepayment of the debt (that is, cause the payment of principal before the scheduled payment dates), including the terms in the following illustrative instruments:
  1. a
    Illustrative debt instrument 1. Some fixed-rate debt instruments include a typical call option that permits the debt instrument to be called for prepayment by the debtor at a fixed amount, for example, at par or at a specified premium over par. In some instruments, the prepayment amount varies based on when the call option is exercised. Fixed-rate debt instruments that provide the borrower with the option to prepay at a fixed amount are considered prepayable under paragraph 815-20-25-104(e), because those contracts permit settlement at an amount that is potentially below the contract's fair value (absent the effect of the call provision) as of the date of settlement. Such clauses can be exercised based on an economic advantage related to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate.
  2. b
    Illustrative debt instrument 2. Some debt instruments include contingent acceleration clauses that permit the lender to accelerate the maturity of an outstanding note only if a specified event related to the debtor's credit deterioration or other change in the debtor's credit risk occurs (for example, the debtor's failure to make timely payment, thus making it delinquent; its failure to meet specific covenant ratios; its disposition of specific significant assets, such as a factory; a declaration of cross-default; or a restructuring by the debtor). A common example is a clause in a mortgage note secured by certain property that permits the lender to accelerate the maturity of the note if the borrower sells the property. Debt instruments that include contingent acceleration clauses that permit the lender to accelerate the maturity of an outstanding note only upon the occurrence of a specified event related to the debtor's credit deterioration or other changes in the debtor's credit risk are not considered prepayable under paragraph 815-20-25-104(e).
  3. c
    Illustrative debt instrument 3. Some fixed-rate debt instruments include a call option that permits the debtor to repurchase the debt instrument from the creditor at an amount equal to its then fair value. Fixed-rate debt instruments that provide the debtor with the option to repurchase from the creditor the debt at an amount equal to the then fair value of the contract are not considered prepayable under paragraph 815-20-25-104(e), because that right would have a fair value of zero at all times. Such clauses, which provide the debtor with the discretionary opportunity to settle its obligation before maturity, are not exercised based on an economic advantage related to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate because the repurchases are done at fair value.
  4. d
    Illustrative debt instrument 4. Some fixed-rate debt instruments, typically issued in private markets, include a make-whole provision. A make-whole provision differs from a typical call option, which enables the issuer to benefit by prepaying the debt if market interest rates decline. In a declining interest rate market, the settlement amount of a typical call option is less than what the fair value of the debt would have been absent the call option. In contrast, a make-whole provision involves settlement at a variable amount typically determined by discounting the debt's remaining contractual cash flows at a specified small spread over the current Treasury rate. That calculation results in a settlement amount significantly above the debt's current fair value based on the issuer's current spread over the current Treasury rate. The make-whole provision contains a premium settlement amount to penalize the debtor for prepaying the debt and to compensate the investor (that is, to approximately make the investor whole) for its being forced to recognize a taxable gain on the settlement of the debt investment. In some debt instruments, the prepayment option under a make-whole provision will not be exercisable during an initial lock-out period. (For example, Private Entity A borrows from Insurance Entity B under a 10-year loan with fixed periodic coupon payments. The spread over the Treasury rate for Entity A at issuance of the debt is 275 basis points. The loan agreement contains a make-whole provision that if Entity A prepays the debt, it will pay Insurance Entity B an amount equal to all the future contractual cash flows discounted at the current Treasury rate plus 50 basis points.) Fixed-rate debt instruments that include a make-whole provision (as previously described) are not considered prepayable under paragraph 815-20-25-104(e), because it involves settlement of the entire contract by the debtor before its stated maturity at an amount greater than (rather than an amount less than) the then fair value of the contract.
  5. e
    Illustrative debt instrument 5. Some variable-rate debt instruments include a call option that permits the debtor to repurchase the debt instrument from the creditor at each interest reset date at an amount equal to par. Although illustrative debt instrument 5, a variable-rate debt instrument, does have a fair value exposure between the date of a change in the contractually specified interest rate and the reset date, a swap would not be an appropriate hedging instrument to hedge that fair value exposure. Thus, a fair value hedge of illustrative debt instrument 5 could not qualify for the shortcut method discussed in paragraph 815-20-25-102, which requires the hedging instrument to be an interest rate swap. In cash flow hedges, if the reset provisions always result in the instrument's par amount being equal to its fair value at a reset date, then an option for the debtor to prepay the variable-rate debt instrument at par at that reset date would not be considered prepayable under paragraph 815-20-25-104(e). However, if the reset provisions can result in the instrument's par amount not being equal to its fair value at those reset dates, then an option for the debtor to prepay the variable-rate debt instrument at par at a reset date would be considered prepayable under that paragraph. (Because the reset provisions typically do not adjust the variable interest rate for changes in credit sector spreads and changes in the debtor's creditworthiness, the variable-rate debt instrument's par amount could seldom be expected to be equal to its fair value at each reset date.) Furthermore, to qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, the hedging relationship must meet the applicable conditions in this Subtopic and the entity designating the hedge (that is, the debtor or creditor) must conclude it is probable that future interest payments will be made during the term of the interest rate swap. If the creditor's counterparty (that is, the debtor) on a recognized variable-rate asset related to the hedged forecasted interest payments can cause that asset to be prepaid, then that creditor would likely be unable to conclude that all the forecasted interest payments on its recognized interest-bearing asset are probable and, thus, the cash flow hedging relationship would not qualify for the shortcut method. (Even though the creditor believes it could immediately obtain a replacement variable-rate asset if prepayment occurs and thus could conclude that the forecasted variable interest inflows are probable, the only hedged forecasted interest inflows that are eligible for application of the shortcut method are those related to a recognized interest-bearing asset at the inception of the hedge.) However, paragraph 815-20-25-104(e) indicates that its criterion that prohibits a prepayment option in the interest-bearing asset or liability does not apply to a hedging relationship if the hedging interest rate swap contains an embedded mirror-image option. In that latter case, if both the prepayment option and the mirror-image option in the swap were exercised, there would be no future hedged interest cash flows related to the recognized interest-bearing asset or liability and no future cash flows under the swap and, thus, the existence of the prepayment option would not preclude the use of the shortcut method.
  6. f
    Illustrative debt instrument 6. Some fixed-rate debt instruments include both a call option as described in illustrative debt instrument 1 and a contingent acceleration clause as described in illustrative debt instrument 2. The same conclusions reached relative to illustrative debt instrument 1 also apply to illustrative debt instrument 6.

    Illustrative debt instrument 7. Some debt instruments contain an investor protection clause (which is standard in substantially all debt issued in Europe) that provides that, in the event of a change in tax law that would subject the investor to additional incremental taxation by tax jurisdictions other than those entitled to tax the investor at the time of debt issuance, the coupon interest rate of the debt increases so that the investor's yield, net of the incremental taxation effect, is equal to the investor's yield before the tax law change. The debt issuance also contains an issuer protection clause (which is standard in substantially all debt issued in Europe) that provides that, in the event of a tax law change that triggers an increase in the coupon interest rate, the issuer has the right to call the debt obligation at par. There would be no market for the debt were it not for the prepayment and interest rate adjustment clauses that protect the issuer and investors. Illustrative debt instrument 7 is not considered prepayable under paragraph 815-20-25-104(e) because it meets the exclusion criteria under paragraph 815-20-25-113(c).

This implementation guidance addresses the application of paragraph 815-20-25-104(e). It is common to quote the call prices (strike prices) on debt as a percentage of par value. In contrast, the strike prices of options embedded in interest rate swaps are generally quoted as a rate or current yield (the current fixed-rate coupon on a noncallable-nonputtable swap having zero fair value at inception). One means of determining whether these strike prices are the same would be to:
  1. a
    Impute the yield to maturity at a price equal to the call price for a noncallable-nonputtable debt instrument that is otherwise identical to the hedged debt instrument
  2. b
    Compare that yield to the call or put yield embedded in the swap.

An entity should use judgment in determining whether it can reasonably support performing assessments of effectiveness after hedge inception on a qualitative basis. That judgment should include careful consideration of the following factors:
  1. a
    Results of the quantitative assessment of effectiveness performed for the hedging relationship.
  2. b
    Alignment of the critical terms of the hedging relationship. If one or more of the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged item are not aligned, an entity should consider whether changes in market conditions may cause the changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedging instrument and hedged item or hedged forecasted transaction attributable to the hedged risk to diverge as a result of those differences in terms.
    1. 1
      In cases in which the underlyings of the hedged item and hedging instrument are different, an entity should consider the extent and consistency of the correlation exhibited between the changes in the underlyings of the hedged item and hedging instrument.
      1. i
        This may inform the entity about whether expected changes in market conditions could cause the changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedging instrument and the hedged item or hedged forecasted transaction attributable to the hedged risk to diverge. Particularly in the context of reverting to qualitative assessments of hedge effectiveness after being required to perform a quantitative assessment (as discussed in paragraph 815-20-35-2D), this may inform an entity about whether there is a reasonable expectation that the hedging relationship is expected to remain stable or whether that divergence is expected to continue or recur in the future.
      2. ii
        A specific event or circumstance may cause a temporary disruption to the market that results in an entity concluding that the facts and circumstances of the hedging relationship have changed such that it no longer can assert qualitatively that the hedging relationship was and continues to be highly effective.

If the results of the quantitative assessment of effectiveness do significantly diverge from the results of the initial assessment of effectiveness, the entity should continually monitor whether the temporary market disruption has been resolved when determining whether to return to qualitative testing in subsequent periods.

Because the hedged risk and forward contract are based on different indexes, the hedging relationship does not qualify for one of the exemptions in paragraph 815-20-25-3(b)(2)(iv)(01). Entity B performs an initial quantitative hedge effectiveness assessment and determines that the hedging instrument is highly effective at achieving offsetting cash flows associated with the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. In Entity B's hedge documentation, it elects to perform subsequent assessments of hedge effectiveness on a qualitative basis. It makes this election based on the following factors:
  1. a
    The results of the quantitative effectiveness assessment performed at hedge inception indicate that the hedging relationship is close to achieving perfect offset.
  2. b
    Changes in the value of the cottonseed meal index have been consistently highly correlated with changes in value of the soybean meal index such that expected changes in market conditions are not anticipated to prevent the hedging relationship from achieving highly effective offset.
  3. c
    Although the underlyings of the hedging instrument and hedged item do not match, the notional amount of the derivative and the expected quantity to be purchased do match.

Thus, on the next subsequent effectiveness assessment date (March 31, 20X2), Entity C begins performing quantitative assessments of effectiveness using the method documented at hedge inception.

This Example illustrates the documentation requirements in paragraph 815-20-25-3 when the critical terms of the hedging instrument and hedged forecasted transaction match in accordance with paragraphs
815-20-25-84 through 25-85
. On January 1, 20X1, Entity A, a U.S. dollar (USD) functional currency entity, executes a forward contract to hedge a portion of its exposure to Canadian Dollar- (CAD-) denominated forecasted sales expected to occur in December 20X1. Entity A determines that all the critical terms of the hedging instrument and hedged forecasted transaction match. It documents the hedging relationship concurrently with the execution of the forward contract in accordance with paragraph 815-20-25-3 as follows:
  1. a
    Risk management objective: To hedge against movements in the USD/CAD exchange rate that will affect the USD value of future CAD sales.
  2. b
    Hedged forecasted transaction: The first CAD 500,000 sales in December 20X1.
  3. c
    Hedging instrument: Foreign exchange forward contract to sell CAD 500,000 and receive USD 400,000 on December 31, 20X1. The fair value of the forward contract at hedge inception is zero.
  4. d
    Method of assessing hedge effectiveness: Entity A will assess the effectiveness on a qualitative basis at hedge inception. The critical terms of the hedging instrument and hedged forecasted transaction can be considered to match because the notional amounts and underlyings of the hedging instrument and hedged forecasted transaction are the same and the forecasted sales are expected to occur in the same fiscal month as the maturity date of the hedging instrument. Therefore, the hedge is expected to be perfectly effective. Subsequent assessments of effectiveness will be performed by verifying and documenting whether the critical terms of the hedging instrument and hedged forecasted transaction have changed during the period in review and whether it remains probable that the counterparty to the hedged item and hedged forecasted transactions will not default. If there are no such changes in critical terms or counterparty credit risk, Entity A will continue to conclude that the hedging relationship is perfectly effective.

Entity A wishes to enter into a transaction to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of the embedded written price cap in the supply contract. Accordingly, it purchases a cash-settled call option with a strike price of $15 per pound and a notional amount equal to the quantity specified in the supply contract. In accordance with the guidance in paragraph 815-20-25-12, a supply contract for which the contract price is fixed only under certain circumstances (such as when market prices are above an embedded price cap) meets the definition of a firm commitment for purposes of designating the hedged item in a fair value hedge. Therefore, if the selling price in a supply contract is subject to a cap, a floor, or both, either party to the contract is eligible to apply fair value hedge accounting in a hedging relationship to hedge the fair value exposure of the cap or floor. For the range of monthly average list prices above $15 per pound, the contract has a fixed $15 per pound price. Thus, Entity A may designate the written cap embedded in the supply contract as the hedged item in a fair value hedging relationship provided the other criteria for a fair value hedge are met. The embedded written cap in this Example is a specific portion of the contract that is subject to the risk of changes in fair value due to changes in the list price of the underlying materials. Because it is not accounted for separately from the supply contract, the embedded written cap may be designated as the hedged item in a fair value hedge. Paragraph 815-20-25-12 allows a nonbifurcated call option that is embedded in a supply contract to be the hedged item in a fair value hedge regardless of whether that supply contract is a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment.

Changing the composition of the specified individual loans within the group of variable-rate interest-bearing loans due to prepayment, a loan sale, or an unexpected change in a loan's expected cash flows due to credit difficulties reflects a change in the probability of the identified hedged forecasted transactions for the hedging relationships related to the individual loans removed from the group of variable-rate interest-bearing loans. Consequently, the hedging relationships for future interest payments that are no longer probable of occurring must be terminated. The provisions related to immediately reclassifying a derivative instrument's gain or loss out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings are based on the hedged forecasted transaction being probable that it will not occur—not no longer being probable of occurring—and includes consideration of an additional two-month period of time. After the discontinuation of the hedging relationships for interest payments related to the individual loans removed from the group of variable-rate interest-bearing loans and the reclassification into earnings of the net gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income related to those hedging relationships, the derivative instrument (or a proportion thereof) specifically related to the hedging relationships that have been terminated is eligible to be redesignated as the hedging instrument in a new cash flow hedging relationship. However, paragraph 815-30-40-5 warns that a pattern of determining that hedged forecasted transactions are probable of not occurring would call into question both the entity's ability to accurately predict forecasted transactions and the propriety of using hedge accounting in the future for similar forecasted transactions.

A general contractor enters into a long-term contract to build a power plant. The long-term contract is to be completed within five years. As part of the construction project, the general contractor expects to subcontract a portion of the construction to a foreign entity with a functional currency different from its own. Because the subcontractor will be paid in its functional currency, the general contractor will have a foreign currency exposure that it desires to hedge. At the start of the project, the general contractor concludes it is probable that the subcontract work will be completed and paid for at the end of Year 2. However, the general contractor knows that the timing of a subcontractor's work, and thus the foreign-currency-denominated payment for its work, may possibly be delayed by a period of more than two months, even though it is probable that the overall project will remain on schedule in meeting the ultimate completion date. The contractor intends to hedge the exposure by using a forward contract with a maturity date that coincides with the current expected date of payment (that is, a two-year foreign currency forward) and the expected notional amount of the forecasted transaction.

The hedging relationship involving the currency collar designated as a hedge of the effect of fluctuations in the USD-FC exchange rate qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting.

The foreign currency collar is hedging the variability in USD-equivalent cash flows for 100 percent of the forecasted FC 100 million purchase price of inventory for USD-FC exchange rate movements above USD 0.885 per FC 1 and variability in USD-equivalent cash flows for 50 percent of the forecasted FC 100 million purchase price of inventory for USD-FC exchange rate movements below USD 0.80 per FC 1. Cash flow hedge effectiveness will be determined based on changes in the underlying (the USD-FC exchange rate) that cause changes in the collar's intrinsic value (that is, changes below USD 0.80 per FC 1 and above USD 0.885 per FC 1). Because the hedge's effectiveness is based on changes in the collar's intrinsic value, hedge effectiveness must be assessed based on the actual exchange rate changes by comparing the change in intrinsic value of the collar to the change in the specified quantity of the forecasted transaction for those changes in the underlying.

815-20-65-7As permitted by paragraph 815-20-55-38, Parent A may designate the EUR-denominated debt instrument as a hedge of its net investment in the German subsidiary and also as the hedged item in a fair value hedge of the debt instrument's foreign-currency-denominated fair value attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. As a result of applying fair value hedge accounting, the debt's carrying amount will be adjusted to reflect changes in its foreign-currency-denominated fair value attributable to interest rate risk. Parent A should exclude the fair value hedge basis adjustment from the assessment of effectiveness in the designated net investment hedging relationship. Accordingly, the notional amount of the debt that is designated as the hedging instrument in the net investment hedge will not change over time as a result of applying fair value hedge accounting such that it may continue to match the portion of the net investment being hedged. The entity then applies the net investment hedge guidance in Subtopic 815-35 and the fair value hedge guidance in Subtopic 815-25. Because the debt’s fair value hedge basis adjustment is not included in the assessment of effectiveness of the net investment hedging relationship, the effect of changes in the spot rate on the fair value hedge basis adjustment is recognized currently in earnings in accordance with Subtopic 830-20.

hybrid instrumentembedded derivativeDuring January 1998, Entity A issued a $100 million structured note that pays quarterly a 3 percent annual rate of interest plus an additional quarterly return based on any increase in the Standard and Poor's S&P 500 Index for that quarter, with a guaranteed return of principal at maturity. Because of grandfathering provisions when the guidance in this Topic initially took effect, the embedded equity derivative instrument was not separated from the debt host contract. The following guidance relates to Entity A's ability to designate various fair value and cash flow hedging relationships involving the example structured note:
  1. a
    Entity A may designate a fair value hedge of the risk of changes in the structured note's overall fair value. Because Entity A must have an expectation at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis that the hedging relationship will be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value during the period the hedge is designated, it must obtain a derivative instrument or combination of derivative instruments that would be a highly effective hedge of changes in the structured note's overall fair value. While this strategy is permitted, it may be difficult to construct a hedging instrument that is highly effective in offsetting the interest-rate-based and equity-based components of the structured note's return while also encompassing a hedge of credit risk exposure. However, if it is expected that the embedded equity-based component of the structured note will generate de minimis changes in fair value during the hedge period, an expectation of high effectiveness may be established.
  2. b
    Entity A may designate a fair value hedge of the risk of changes in the fair value of the embedded equity derivative that is not being accounted for separately. The equity-based component of the structured note is an equity derivative that provides the holder of the structured note with potential gains resulting from increases in the S&P 500 Index. That equity derivative can be identified as the hedged item because it is a portion of a recognized liability that meets the requirements in paragraph 815-20-25-12(b)(2)(iii).
  3. c
    Entity A may designate a fair value hedge of the risk of changes in the structured note's fair value attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate (for example, the U.S. Treasury rate). Similar to the hedging relationship discussed under (a), Entity A must have an expectation at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis that the hedging relationship will be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value attributable to the benchmark interest rate during the period the hedge is designated. If Entity A calculates the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to interest rate risk based on the full contractual coupon cash flows, it is unlikely that it could establish an expectation that a derivative instrument based on the benchmark interest rate would be highly effective as a hedge of the structured note's fair value attributable to interest rate risk because of the effect of the equity-based-component on the calculation of that change in fair value attributable to interest rate risk. Therefore, in employing this measurement methodology, Entity A must incorporate into that calculation the cash flows that will be generated by both the structured note's interest-rate-based component (based on the 3 percent fixed rate) and an estimation of the cash flows that will be generated by the equity-based component (based on expected increases in the S&P 500 Index). While this hedging relationship would typically be expected not to qualify as a fair value hedge of interest rate risk, if it is expected that the embedded equity-based component of the structured note will have a de minimis effect on the changes in fair value of the structured note during the hedge period, an expectation that the hedging relationship will be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value attributable to interest rate risk may be established. Alternatively, Entity A may calculate the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to interest rate risk using the benchmark interest rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows determined at hedge inception. In employing this measurement methodology, Entity A should not estimate the hedged item's cash flows expected to be generated by the equity-based component.
  4. d
    Entity A may designate a cash flow hedge of the risk of changes in the structured note's total quarterly cash flows. To be highly effective, the entity would be required to designate as the hedging instrument a derivative instrument that is expected to produce offsetting cash flows as the S&P 500 Index increases.
  5. e
    Entity A may not designate a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk of the structured note because it does not have a contractually specified interest rate.

If the agreement does not meet the definition of a firm commitment, but contains a fixed foreign-currency-denominated price, the seller may not hedge the foreign currency risk relating to the agreement to sell the nonfinancial asset under the fair value hedging model because the agreement is not a recognized asset, a recognized liability, or a firm commitment, which are the only items that can be designated as the hedged item in a fair value hedge. However, the seller may hedge the foreign currency risk relating to the agreement under the cash flow hedging model. The agreement is by definition a forecasted transaction because the sale of the nonfinancial assets will occur at the prevailing market price, that is, the fixed foreign-currency-denominated market price converted into the seller's functional currency at the prevailing exchange rate when the transaction occurs. Therefore, because the agreement includes a fixed foreign-currency-denominated price, the agreement exposes the seller to variability in the functional-currency-equivalent cash flows. Accordingly, the seller may not hedge the foreign currency risk relating to the agreement to sell 1,000 tons of the nonfinancial asset under the fair value hedging model but may hedge the foreign currency risk under the cash flow hedging model.

Subsidiary B wishes to designate its JPY-denominated intra-entity loan payable as the hedging instrument in consolidated financial statements in a fair value hedge of foreign currency exposure related to its JPY-denominated unrecognized firm commitment to a third party.

Paragraph 815-20-25-79(a) explains that a probable future change in fair value will be more heavily weighted than a reasonably possible future change. For example, Entity A could assign a probability weighting to each possible future change in value of the hedged portfolio. Depending on the level of market interest rates and the expected prepayment rates for the types of loans in the hedged portfolio, Entity A may reach a conclusion that the change in fair value of the swap will be highly effective at offsetting the change in the value of the portfolio of loans, inclusive of the prepayment option. As a result of this analysis, management would conclude that hedge accounting is permitted for the hedging relationship for the next three-month period. Management is required to assess the effectiveness of the existing hedging relationship for the past three-month period. If necessary, the notional amount of the swap in excess of the portfolio balance at the end of each three-month period must be dedesignated to allow high effectiveness to continue in the future.

Entity A issues 10-year fixed-rate debt that is callable at the end of the fifth year. It decides to convert the interest payments on the bond from fixed-rate to variable-rate by entering into a 10-year receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is not cancelable at the end of the fifth year. From Entity A's perspective, if interest rates increase, there is a gain on the debt (the liability's fair value decreases) and a loss on the swap (fair value either decreases as an asset or increases as a liability). If interest rates decrease, there is a loss on the debt (the liability's fair value increases) and a gain on the swap (fair value either increases as an asset or decreases as a liability). However, during the first five years, if interest rates decrease, the gain on the swap will exceed the loss on the debt because the debt's fair value change will consider the impact of the call feature, which is in the money when interest rates fall below the stated rate on the debt. Entity A wishes to designate the interest rate swap as the hedging instrument in a fair value hedge of interest rate risk of the fixed-rate debt. The conclusions for Case A and Case B are discussed in paragraph 815-20-55-197.

Entity B issues 10-year, variable-rate debt that reprices based on 6-month LIBOR. The interest rate on the debt is capped at 9 percent. Entity B decides to convert the interest payments on the debt from variable-rate to fixed-rate by entering into a receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap. There is no cap on the variable-rate leg of the interest rate swap. From Entity B's perspective, if interest rates decrease, there will be a cumulative reduction in the expected future cash outflows on the debt and a cumulative reduction in the expected future cash inflows on the swap. If interest rates increase, there will be a cumulative increase in the expected future cash outflows on the debt and a cumulative increase in the expected future cash inflows on the swap. However, if interest rates increase such that the variable rate on the swap would be greater than 9 percent, the cumulative increase in the expected future cash inflows on the swap will exceed the cumulative increase in the expected future cash outflows on the debt because of the interest rate cap on the debt, which is in the money if interest rates increase such that the variable rate on the debt would exceed 9 percent. Entity B wishes to designate the interest rate swap as the hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk of the variable-rate debt.

In both Cases A and B, the entity must assess, based on an appropriate methodology, whether the changes in fair value or cash flows of the interest rate swap could be expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the debt attributable to interest rate risk taking into account the effect of the embedded call option (Case A) or the effect of the interest rate cap (Case B). As required by paragraph 815-20-25-6, the effect of an embedded derivative of the same risk class must be considered in designating a hedge of an individual risk. Therefore, if the options in Cases A and B are expected to be out of the money based on a probability-weighted analysis of the range of possible changes in interest rates, then those options would be expected to have a minimal effect on changes in fair value or cash flows of the debt, and the hedging relationships could meet the requirement for an expectation of high effectiveness. In the case of a fair value hedge of callable debt discussed in Case A, in accordance with paragraph 815-20-25-6B, Entity A may assess hedge effectiveness on the basis of whether the debt will be called at the end of the fifth year because of expected changes in benchmark interest rates, but not because of other factors potentially affecting the exercise of the call feature. Entity A intends to assess hedge effectiveness on this basis.

In part, this Example entails a determination of whether the business combination results in a new inception date for the combined entity for hedging relationships entered into by the acquiree before the consummation of the business combination that remain ongoing at the date of the business combination. The concept of acquisition accounting follows the accounting for acquisitions of individual assets and liabilities. That is, the combined entity should account for the assets and liabilities acquired in the business combination consistent with how it would be required to account for those assets and liabilities if they were acquired individually in separate transactions. The acquisition method is based on the premise that in an acquisition, the acquired entity (Entity B) ceases to exist and only the acquiring entity (Entity A) survives. Thus, the postacquisition hedging relationship designated by Entity A is a new relationship that has a new inception date.

This Example illustrates the application of paragraph 815-20-25-118. Under the guidance in that paragraph, if a derivative instrument with a five-year term is designated as the hedging instrument in a fair value hedge of a financial asset that also has a five-year term, an entity may base its expectation that the hedging relationship will be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value for the risk being hedged by considering the possible changes in value occurring only over a shorter period than the life of the derivative instrument, such as over only the first three months of the derivative instrument's five-year life. For example, an entity may specify, in documenting its risk management strategy, that every three months it will do both of the following:
  1. a
    It will assess the effectiveness of the existing hedging relationship for the past three-month period.

Entity X has LIBOR-indexed floating-rate debt. To hedge its exposure to variability in expected future cash outflows attributable to changes in LIBOR swap rate (the contractually specified interest rate), it enters into an interest rate collar with a bank when the current LIBOR swap rate is 6 percent. The collar also is indexed to LIBOR and consists of a purchased cap with the strike rate equal to 8 percent and a written floor with the strike rate equal to 5 percent. The purchased cap goes into effect when LIBOR increases above 8 percent, and the written floor goes into effect when LIBOR decreases below 5 percent. Thus, the interest collar has the effect of limiting the interest rate of the floating-rate debt to a range between 5 percent and 8 percent. On the basis of market conditions as of the collar transaction date, Entity X received a net premium from the bank.
