RISK MANAGEMENT AND DERIVATIVES |
NOTE 7 — RISK MANAGEMENT AND DERIVATIVES
The Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. As of and for the three and six months ended November 30, 2024, there have been no material changes to the Company's hedging program or strategy from what was disclosed within the Annual Report. The majority of derivatives outstanding as of November 30, 2024, are designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges, primarily for Euro/U.S. Dollar, Chinese Yuan/U.S. Dollar, British Pound/Euro and Japanese Yen/U.S. Dollar currency pairs. All derivatives are recognized on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and classified based on the instrument's maturity date. The following tables present the fair values of derivative instruments included within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

CASH FLOW HEDGES The total notional amount of outstanding foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was approximately $16.2 billion as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024. Approximately $357 million of deferred net gains (net of tax) on both outstanding and matured derivatives in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of November 30, 2024, are expected to be reclassified to Net income during the next 12 months concurrent with the underlying hedged transactions also being recorded in Net income. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to Net income are dependent on the exchange rates in effect when derivative contracts currently outstanding mature. As of November 30, 2024, the maximum term over which the Company hedges exposures to the variability of cash flows for its forecasted transactions was 29 months. FAIR VALUE HEDGES The total notional amount of outstanding interest rate swap contracts designated as fair value hedges was $2.4 billion and $1.8 billion as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, respectively. UNDESIGNATED DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The total notional amount of outstanding undesignated derivative instruments was $3.3 billion and $4.4 billion as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, respectively. CREDIT RISK As of November 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all credit risk-related contingent features and considers the impact of the risk of counterparty default to be immaterial.
