Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Note S — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities In the normal course of business, we are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to such risks and formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. We also may enter into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. We recognize all derivatives in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) at fair value. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative trading purposes. Exchange-Rate Risk — Fair Value Hedges To manage the exposure in our balance sheet to risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we implement fair value hedges. More specifically, we have used foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge certain balance sheet items, including foreign currency denominated accounts receivable and inventory. Changes in the value of the derivatives and the related hedged items are reflected in earnings, in the “Cost of product sales and services” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). As of July 3, 2020, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts to hedge balance sheet items. The net gains or losses on foreign currency forward contracts designated as fair value hedges were not material in the quarter or two quarters ended July 3, 2020 or in the quarter or two quarters ended June 28, 2019. In addition, no amounts were recognized in earnings in the quarter or two quarters ended July 3, 2020 or in the quarter or two quarters ended June 28, 2019 related to hedged firm commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges. Exchange-Rate Risk — Cash Flow Hedges To manage our exposure to currency risk and market fluctuation risk associated with anticipated cash flows that are probable of occurring in the future, we implement cash flow hedges. More specifically, we use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge off-balance sheet future foreign currency commitments, including purchase commitments to suppliers, future committed sales to customers and intersegment transactions. These derivatives are used to hedge currency exposures from cash flows anticipated across our business segments. We also hedge U.S. Dollar payments to suppliers to maintain our anticipated profit margins in our international operations. These derivatives have only nominal intrinsic value at the time of purchase and have a high degree of correlation to the anticipated cash flows they are designated to hedge. Hedge effectiveness is determined by the correlation of the anticipated cash flows from the hedging instruments and the anticipated cash flows from the future foreign currency commitments through the maturity dates of the derivatives used to hedge these cash flows. These financial instruments are marked-to-market using forward prices and fair value quotes with the offset to other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses in AOCI are reclassified to earnings when the related hedged item is recognized in earnings. The cash flow impact of our derivatives is included in the same category in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (Unaudited) as the cash flows of the related hedged items. Notional amounts are used to measure the volume of foreign currency forward contracts and do not represent exposure to foreign currency losses. At July 3, 2020, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $572 million denominated in Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, Euros and New Zealand Dollars to hedge certain forecasted transactions. At July 3, 2020, our foreign currency forward contracts had maturities through 2025. The table below presents the fair values of our derivatives designated as foreign currency hedging instruments in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) at July 3, 2020 and January 3, 2020:

_______________ (1)See Note R — Fair Value Measurements in these Notes for a description of the fair value hierarchy related to our foreign currency forward contracts. During the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2020, we recognized a $10 million net unrealized gain and a $6 million net unrealized loss, respectively, before income taxes in other comprehensive loss from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. During the quarter and two quarters ended June 28, 2019, the net unrealized gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was not material. During the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2020 and the quarter and two quarters ended June 28, 2019, the net gain or loss reclassified from AOCI into earnings from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was not material. Gains and losses from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are included in the line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) associated with the hedged transaction, with the exception of any losses resulting from discontinued cash flow hedges, which are included in “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). At July 3, 2020, the estimated amount of existing losses to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months was $2 million before income taxes. Interest-Rate Risk — Cash Flow Hedges At July 3, 2020, we had two treasury lock agreements (“treasury locks”) with third-party financial institution counterparties with a combined notional amount of $650 million. These treasury locks were initiated in January 2019 (and assumed by us in connection with the L3Harris Merger) to hedge against fluctuations in interest payments due to changes in the benchmark interest rate (10-year U.S. Treasury rate) associated with the anticipated issuance of long-term fixed-rate notes (“New Notes”) to redeem or repay at maturity the entire $650 million outstanding principal amount of our 4.95% Notes due February 15, 2021 (“4.95% 2021 Notes”). We designated these treasury locks as cash flow hedges against fluctuations in interest payments on the New Notes due to changes in the benchmark interest rate prior to issuance, which we expect to occur before the date of maturity of the 4.95% 2021 Notes. If the benchmark interest rate increases during the period of the agreement, the treasury locks position becomes an asset and we receive a cash payment from the counterparty when we terminate the treasury locks upon issuance of the New Notes. Conversely, if the benchmark interest rate decreases, the treasury locks position becomes a liability and we will make a cash payment to the counterparty when we terminate the treasury locks upon issuance of the New Notes. The fair value of the treasury locks is measured using a pricing model that utilizes observable market data such as the benchmark interest rate. See Note R — Fair Value Measurements in these Notes for additional information. At July 3, 2020, the combined fair value of these treasury locks was a liability of $130 million, which is included in the “Other expenses and accruals” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). The unrealized after-tax loss associated with these treasury locks included in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) was $71 million and $16 million at July 3, 2020 and January 3, 2020, respectively. Net gains or losses from cash flow hedges recognized in earnings were not material in the quarter or two quarters ended July 3, 2020 or in the quarter or two quarters ended June 28, 2019.
