DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
7. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We held the following derivative instruments that were designated and accounted for as hedging instruments pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) as of November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020:
| • | interest rate swap agreements, which are used to protect us against changes in the fair values of certain of our fixed-rate borrowings attributable to the movements in benchmark interest rates. We have designated these swap agreements as qualifying hedging instruments and are accounting for them as fair value hedges pursuant to ASC 815;
| • | cross-currency interest rate swap agreements, which are used to protect us against changes in the fair values of certain of our fixed-rate Euro-denominated borrowings attributable to the movements in benchmark interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates by effectively converting the fixed-rate, Euro-denominated borrowings, including the annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to variable-rate, U.S. Dollar-denominated debt based on LIBOR. We have designated these swap agreements as qualifying hedging instruments and are accounting for them as fair value hedges pursuant to ASC 815; and
| • | cross-currency swap agreements, which are used to manage foreign currency exchange risk by converting certain of our fixed-rate Euro-denominated borrowings including periodic interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity to fixed-rate U.S. Dollar-denominated debt and are accounted for as cash flow hedges pursuant to ASC 815.
We also held certain foreign currency contracts that were not designated as hedges pursuant to ASC 815. As of November 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020, the notional amounts of such forward contracts we held to purchase U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $3.9 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively, and the notional amount s of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. Dollars in exchange for other major international currencies were $3.9 billion as of the end of each period. The fair values of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts were nominal as of November 30, 20 20 and May 31, 20 20. Net gains or losses related to these forward contracts are included in non-operating income, net. See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 for additional information regarding the purpose, accounting and classification of our derivative instruments.
