DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Foreign Currency Hedges

We use operational and economic hedges, foreign currency exchange forward contracts, net investment hedges (both long-term intercompany loans payable and forward exchange contracts) and interest rate derivative instruments to manage the impact of currency exchange and interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flow. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. We have not changed our hedging strategies, accounting practices or objectives from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2017.

In the nine months 2018 we terminated our net investment hedges. The amounts related to settled net investment hedges will be subsequently recognized to other income (expense), net when the hedged investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by our counterparties on our outstanding derivative instruments but do not anticipate nonperformance by any of our counterparties. Should a counterparty default, our maximum exposure to loss is the asset balance of the instrument.

Net Currency Exchange Rate Gains (Losses)

Recorded in:	2018		2017			2018			2017

On September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 pretax gains on derivatives designated as hedges recorded in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified to earnings within 12 months of the balance sheet date are $13 and $7. This reclassification is primarily due to the sale of inventory that includes previously hedged purchases. There were no ineffective portions of derivatives that resulted in gains or losses in any of the periods presented.

Interest Rate Risk

In conjunction with our offering of senior unsecured notes in the nine months 2018 we terminated cash flow hedges with gross notional amounts of $600 designated as hedges of our interest rates, the impact of which will be recognized over time as a benefit to interest expense within other income (expense), net.

We also elected to terminate interest rate swaps with gross notional amounts of $500 designated as fair value hedges of underlying fixed rate obligations representing a portion of our $600 unsecured senior notes due in 2024. The remaining fair value is presented in long-term debt and will be recognized in interest expense within other income (expense), net over the term of the debt.

There was no hedge ineffectiveness recorded as a result of these cash flow and fair value hedges in 2018.
