Why may a company retire a bond early when market interest rates fall?

A company may retire bonds early when market interest rates fall because they can reissue bonds at the updated (lower) market rate. This would decrease their yearly interest expense. 

Inversely, a company will not look retire their bonds if market rates rise because any new bonds issued would be at a higher (more expensive) interest rate. 

A company will consider the potential loss on retirement before retiring a bond early to see if the loss is worth the trade off of lower interest expense in future years.

How do we figure out if a bond retirement is at a gain or a loss?

Compare the carrying value (Face Value +Premium or - Discount) to the cash paid to retire the bond.

If we paid less cash than the carrying value (liability), then we retired the bond at a gain.
