Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements

7. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

As part of the overall risk management, the Company uses derivative instruments to reduce exposure to changes in interest rates attributed to the Companys floating-rate borrowings. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. To the extent hedging relationships are found to be effective, as determined by FASB guidance, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged item ande recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Management believes hedge effectiveness is evaluated properly in preparation of the financial statements.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The categorization of the framework used to price these derivative instruments is considered a Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value.

In February 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to manage cash flow variability associated with $1 billion of outstanding variable rate term loan debt. The agreement swapped the greater of a three-month variable LIBOR contract or 1.00% for a fixed three-year rate of 2.355%, with an effective date in May 2016 and expiration in May 2019. In June 2013, the Company elected to settle this derivative instrument and received $16 million as a result of this settlement. The offset is included in Accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized to Interest expense from May 2016 through May 2019, the original term of the swap agreement.

In March 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to manage cash flow variability associated with $1 billion of outstanding variable rate term loan debt. The agreement swaps the greater of a three-month variable LIBOR contract or 1.00% for a fixed three-year rate of 2.59%, with an effective date in February 2016 and expiration in February 2019. The Company records changes in fair value in Accumulated other comprehensive income and Deferred income taxes.


			December 27,		September 27,
Derivatives instruments	Balance Sheet Location		2014		2014
Interest rate swap	Other long-term liabilities	$	10	$	3

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when impairment indicators are present. The assets are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values exceed the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to price the assets is considered Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value. These assets include primarily our definite lived and indefinite lived intangible assets, including Goodwill and our property plant and equipment. The Company reviews Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets for impairment as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter each year, and more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The Company determined Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets were not impaired in our annual fiscal 2014 assessment and no impairment indicators existed in the current quarter.

Included in the following table are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 27, 2014 and September 27, 2014, along with the impairment loss recognized on the fair value measurement during the period:


				As of December 27, 2014
		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Impairment
Indefinite-lived trademarks	$		$		$	207	$	207	$
Goodwill						1,657		1,657
Definite lived intangible assets						559		559
Property, plant, and equipment						1,331		1,331		2

Total	$		$		$	3,754	$	3,754	$	2


				As of September 27, 2014
		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Impairment
Indefinite-lived trademarks	$		$		$	207	$	207	$
Goodwill						1,659		1,659
Definite lived intangible assets						585		585
Property, plant, and equipment						1,364		1,364		7

Total	$		$		$	3,815	$	3,815	$	7

The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, long-term debt and capital lease obligations. The fair value of our long-term indebtedness exceeded book value by $29 million as of December 27, 2014. The Companys long-term debt fair values were determined using Level 2 inputs as other significant observable inputs were not available.

8. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 21% and 29% for the quarterly period ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. The primary reason the expense was lower than our statutory rate was the extension of the research and development tax credit through the end of calendar 2014. A reconciliation of Income tax expense, computed at the federal statutory rate, to Income tax expense, as provided for in the financial statements, is as follows:

13. Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information

Berry Plastics Corporation (Issuer) has notes outstanding which are fully, jointly, severally, and unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all of Berrys domestic subsidiaries. Separate narrative information or financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been included because they are 100% owned by the parent company and the guarantor subsidiaries unconditionally guarantee such debt on a joint and several basis. A guarantee of a guarantor of the securities will terminate upon the following customary circumstances: the sale of the capital stock of such guarantor if such sale complies with the indenture, the designation of such guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary, the defeasance or discharge of the indenture, as a result of the holders of certain other indebtedness foreclosing on a pledge of the shares of a guarantor subsidiary or if such guarantor no longer guarantees certain other indebtedness of the issuer. The guarantees are also limited as necessary to prevent them from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law and guarantees guaranteeing subordinated debt are subordinated to certain other of the Companys debts. Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the parent, issuer, guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries. Our

issuer and guarantor financial information includes all of our domestic operating subsidiaries, our non-guarantor subsidiaries include our foreign subsidiaries and BP Parallel, LLC.
