SP Bhd is a Malaysian company with a Malaysian Ringgit (RM) functional currency. Its reporting dates are 30 June and 31 December. SP Bhd produces aluminium cans for the soft drinks industry. Based on the production plan for the third quarter of 2021, it was estimated that aluminium consumption would be 3,000 metric tonnes (mt). The company's risk management objective and strategy is to hedge the commodity price risk based on the expected consumption up to 15 months before delivery. In line with its risk management objective and strategy, on 1 April 2020 the company entered into a net-settled aluminium forward contract with a commodity broker to purchase 3,000 mt aluminium with a maturity of 30 June 2021.
Aluminium forward prices for a contract maturing 30 June 2021 at various dates during the hedge are as follows:
1 April 2020 | 30 June 2020 | 31 Dec 2020 | 30 June 2021 | ||||
Aluminium forward price | USD1,460/mt | USD1,570/mt | USD1,415/mt | USD1,650/mt |
In May 2020, the company ordered 3,000 mt aluminium for delivery on 30 June 2021. The price is based on the spot price on the delivery date (30 June 2021) and is to be settled immediately. As the purchase of aluminium required settlement in USD, the company decided to hedge the cash flow into Malaysian Ringgit (RM). On 30 June 2020 the company entered into a foreign currency forward contract with a local merchant bank to purchase USD with a maturity of 30 June 2021.
The spot and forward exchange rates maturing 30 June 2021 at various dates during the hedge are as follows:
