During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we repurchased 1.8 million shares at a total cost of $204 pursuant to a share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors. Net unrealized currency gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, except those in highly inflationary economies, are recorded in AOCI. For these operations, changes in exchange rates generally do not affect cash flows; therefore, unrealized translation adjustments are recorded in AOCI rather than net income. Upon sale or substantially complete liquidation of any of these subsidiaries, the applicable unrealized translation would be removed from AOCI and reported as part of the gain or loss on the sale or liquidation. Also included in unrealized translation amounts are the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature and transactions designated as hedges of net foreign investments. The change in net unrealized currency translation for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the strengthening of the British pound sterling and euro versus the U.S. dollar. The changes in the components of AOCI attributable to Kimberly-Clark, net of tax, are as follows:
|  | Unrealized Translation |  | Defined Benefit Pension Plans |  | Other Postretirement Benefit Plans |  | Cash Flow Hedges and Other
