Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Financial Instruments Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily relating to certain anticipated cash flows and the value of the reported net assets of its international operations, as well as changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate debt obligations attributed to changes in benchmark interest rates. Accordingly, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage and mitigate such risks. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding derivative instruments recorded on its consolidated balance sheets as of March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020:

The Company presents the fair values of its derivative assets and liabilities recorded on its consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis, even when they are subject to master netting arrangements. However, if the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of all of its derivative instruments on a net basis in accordance with the terms of each of its master netting arrangements, spread across ten separate counterparties, the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020 would be adjusted from the current gross presentation as detailed in the following table:

As of March 27, 2021, it is estimated that $4.9 million of pretax net gains on both outstanding and matured derivative instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges deferred in AOCI will be recognized in earnings over the next twelve months. Amounts ultimately recognized in earnings will depend on exchange rates in effect when outstanding derivative instruments are settled.

Risk Management Strategies
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Company uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate its risk related to exchange rate fluctuations on inventory transactions made in an entity's non-functional currency, the settlement of foreign currency-denominated balances, and the translation of certain foreign operations' net assets into U.S. dollars. As part of its overall strategy for managing the level of exposure to such exchange rate risk, relating primarily to the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the South Korean Won, the Australian Dollar, the Canadian Dollar, the British Pound Sterling, the Swiss Franc, and the Chinese Renminbi, the Company generally hedges a portion of its related exposures anticipated over the next twelve months using forward foreign currency exchange contracts with maturities of two months to one year to provide continuing coverage over the period of the respective exposure.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
The Company periodically designates pay-floating rate, receive-fixed rate interest rate swap contracts as hedges against changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate debt attributed to changes in a benchmark interest rate. To the extent of their notional amount, such contracts effectively swap the fixed interest rate on certain of the Company's fixed-rate senior notes for a variable interest rate based on the 3-month LIBOR plus a fixed spread. Changes in the fair value of the Company's interest rate swap contracts were offset by changes in the fair value of the corresponding senior notes attributed to changes in the benchmark interest rate, with no resulting net impact reflected in earnings during any of the fiscal years presented.
The following table summarizes the carrying value of the hedged senior notes and the impacts of the related fair value hedging adjustments as of March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020:

(a)The interest rate swap contract designated as a fair value hedge of the Company's 2.625% Senior Notes was settled during Fiscal 2021 at a loss of $0.3 million.
Cross-Currency Swap Contracts
The Company periodically designates (i) pay-floating rate, receive-floating rate cross-currency swap contracts or (ii) pay-fixed rate, receive fixed-rate cross-currency swap contracts as hedges of its net investment in certain of its European subsidiaries.
The Company's pay-floating rate, receive-floating rate cross-currency swap contracts swap U.S. Dollar-denominated variable interest rate payments based on the contract's notional amount and 3-month LIBOR plus a fixed spread (as paid under a corresponding interest rate swap contract discussed above) for Euro-denominated variable interest rate payments based on 3-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") plus a fixed spread, which, in combination with the corresponding interest rate swap contract, economically converts a portion of the Company's fixed-rate U.S. Dollar-denominated senior note obligations to floating-rate Euro-denominated obligations.
The Company's pay-fixed rate, receive-fixed rate cross-currency swap contracts swap U.S. Dollar-denominated fixed interest rate payments based on the contract's notional amount and the fixed rate of interest payable on certain of the Company's senior notes for Euro-denominated fixed interest rate payments, thereby economically converting a portion of its fixed-rate U.S. Dollar-denominated senior note obligations to fixed-rate Euro-denominated obligations.
