What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Petro Stopping Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued only when the hedging relationship, or a part of it, no longer meets the qualifying criteria. This can occur if the designated hedged forecast transaction is no longer considered highly probable to occur.
Additionally, Petro Stopping Center will discontinue cash flow hedge accounting when the hedging instrument is sold, terminated, or exercised without replacement or rollover. When this happens, amounts previously recognized within other comprehensive income remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. These amounts are then reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to the initial carrying amount of a non-financial asset or liability.
If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, any amounts previously recognized within other comprehensive income will be immediately reclassified to profit or loss. This means that any gains or losses that were initially deferred will now be recognized in the current period's income statement, potentially impacting the company's reported profitability.
