Summary of Derivative Financial Instruments

All of ±«ÓãÖ±²¥â€™s outstanding derivative financial instruments are foreign exchange forward contracts. Although derivatives meet the criteria for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedging relationship, a limited number of derivative contracts intended to hedge assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The notional amounts of all outstanding
derivative contracts were $2.5 billion at September 2021, March 2021 and September 2020, consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc, Mexican peso, Swedish krona, South Korean won, Polish zloty, Japanese yen and New Zealand dollar. Derivative contracts have maturities up to 20 months.

±«ÓãÖ±²¥ records and presents the fair values of all of its derivative assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis, even though they are subject to master netting agreements. If ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of its foreign exchange forward contracts on a net basis in accordance with the terms of its master netting agreements, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets would be adjusted from the current gross presentation to the net amounts as detailed in the following table:

Cash Flow Hedges
±«ÓãÖ±²¥ uses derivative contracts primarily to hedge a portion of the exchange risk for its forecasted sales, purchases, production costs, operating costs and intercompany royalties.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
±«ÓãÖ±²¥ uses derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on third-party accounts receivable and payable, as well as intercompany borrowings. These contracts are not designated as hedges, and are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized directly in earnings. Gains or losses on these contracts largely offset the net transaction losses or gains on the related assets and liabilities. In the case of derivative contracts executed on foreign currency exposures that
are no longer probable of occurring, ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ de-designates these hedges and the fair value changes of these instruments are also recognized directly in earnings.
The impact of de-designated derivative contracts and changes in the fair value of derivative contracts not designated as hedges, recognized as gains or losses in ±«ÓãÖ±²¥'s Consolidated Statements of Operations were not material for the three and six months ended September 2021 and September 2020.
Other Derivative Information
At September 2021, accumulated OCI included $20.9 million of pre-tax net deferred losses for foreign currency exchange contracts that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to
earnings will depend on exchange rates in effect when outstanding derivative contracts are settled.
Net Investment Hedge
The Company has designated its euro-denominated fixed-rate notes, which represent €1.850 billion in aggregate principal, as a net investment hedge of ±«ÓãÖ±²¥â€™s investment in certain foreign operations. Because this debt qualified as a nonderivative hedging instrument, foreign currency transaction gains or losses of the debt are deferred in the foreign currency translation and
other component of accumulated OCI as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on the hedged investments. During the three and six-month periods ended September 2021, the Company recognized an after-tax gain of $34.1 million and $22.6 million, respectively, in OCI related to the net investment hedge transaction, and an after-tax loss of $53.5 million and $71.6 million for the three and six-month periods ended September 2020, respectively. Any amounts deferred in accumulated OCI will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated.
