Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments As of September 30, 2017, we had no interest rate swap transactions and no forward contracts outstanding. Net Investment Hedges In June 2017, the Company entered into two Euro denominated foreign currency exchange forward contracts totaling €999 million and a GBP denominated foreign currency exchange forward contract of £298 million, which were designated as a net investment hedge of its investment in Euro and GBP denominated operations, respectively, which has a functional currency of the Euro and GBP, in order to reduce the volatility in the income statement caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro and GBP with respect to the U.S. dollar. In July 2017, the forward contracts above were terminated and the Company designated its Euro-denominated Senior Notes due 2021 (€500 million) and Senior Notes due 2024 (€500 million) and GBP-denominated Senior Notes due 2022 (£300 million) as a net investment hedge of its investment in Euro and GBP denominated operations, respectively, which has a functional currency of the Euro and GBP, in order to reduce the volatility in the income statement caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro and GBP with respect to the U.S. dollar. The change in fair value of the net investment hedges due to remeasurement of the effective portion is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The ineffective portion of these hedging instruments impacts net income when the ineffectiveness occurs. During the third quarter of 2017, net investment hedge combined losses of $32 million, net of tax, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive income, resulting in year-to-date losses of $50 million. No ineffectiveness was recorded on the net investment hedges above.
