Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our most significant foreign currency exposures relate to Western European countries, Japan, China and Canada. Our foreign currency risk management strategy is principally designed to mitigate the future potential financial impact of changes in the U.S. Dollar value of anticipated transactions and balances denominated in foreign currency, resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into derivative transactions, specifically foreign currency forward contracts, to manage the exposures to foreign currency exchange risk to reduce earnings volatility. We do not enter into derivatives transactions for trading or speculative purposes. Non-Designated Hedges We hedge our net foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities primarily resulting from foreign currency denominated receivables and payables with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that our earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts have maturities of up to approximately three months. Generally, we do not designate these foreign currency forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes and changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized immediately in earnings. Because we enter into forward contracts only as an economic hedge, any gain or loss on the underlying foreign-denominated balance would be offset by the loss or gain on the forward contract. Gains and losses on forward contracts and foreign denominated receivables and payables are included in interest income and other expense, net. As of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we had outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts equivalent to the following:

The following table shows the effect of our non-designated hedges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017:

In the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, foreign currency losses, net were $1.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively. In the three and six months ended April 1, 2017, foreign currency losses, net were$1.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Cash Flow Hedges Our foreign exchange risk management program objective is to identify foreign exchange exposures and implement appropriate hedging strategies to minimize earnings fluctuations resulting from foreign exchange rate movements. We designate certain foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges of Euro, Yen and SEK denominated intercompany forecasted revenue transactions (supported by third party sales). All foreign exchange forward contracts are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the maximum duration of foreign exchange forward contracts is 15 months. Cash flow hedge relationships are designated at inception, and effectiveness is assessed prospectively and retrospectively using regression analysis on monthly. As the forward contracts are highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on the hedged transactions, we record the effective portion of changes in these cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassify it into earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions are recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts due to changes in time value are included in the assessment of effectiveness. Our derivatives are not subject to any credit contingent features. We manage credit risk with counterparties by trading among several counterparties and we review our counterparties’ credit at least quarterly. As of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we had outstanding forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges with notional amounts equivalent to the following:
Currency Hedged | March 31, 2018 |  | September 30, 2017

Euro / U.S. Dollar | $ | 55,744 |  |  | $ | 64,831 |

The following table shows the effect of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017 (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2018, we estimated that all amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to income within the next twelve months. If an underlying forecast transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the related hedge gains and losses on the cash flow hedge would be immediately reclassified to interest income and other expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017, there were no such gains or losses. The following table shows our derivative instruments measured at gross fair value as reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:
