DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Delphi is exposed to market risk, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and changes in interest rates, which may result in cash flow risks. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, Delphi aggregates the exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. For exposures that are not offset within its operations, Delphi enters into various derivative transactions pursuant to its risk management policies, which prohibit holding or issuing derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes, and designation of derivative instruments is performed on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Delphi assesses the initial and ongoing effectiveness of its hedging relationships in accordance with its documented policy. As of September 30, 2014, Delphi has entered into derivative instruments to hedge cash flows extending out to January 2017.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had the following outstanding notional amounts related to commodity and foreign currency forward contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted exposures:

The Company had additional commodity and foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts that individually amounted to less than $10 million. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Delphi entered into and settled treasury rate lock agreements which were designated as cash flow hedges in anticipation of issuing the 2014 Senior Notes, as further discussed in Note 8. Debt. The impacts of these agreements and the related amount of hedge ineffectiveness were not material.

The gain or loss reclassified from OCI into income for the effective portion of designated derivative instruments and the gain or loss recognized in income for the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments excluded from effectiveness testing were recorded to other income, net and cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The gain or loss recognized in income for non-designated derivative instruments was recorded in other income, net and cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
Gains and losses on derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in OCI, to the extent that hedges are effective, until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. Unrealized amounts in accumulated OCI will fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of hedge derivative contracts at each reporting period. Losses included in accumulated OCI as of September 30, 2014 were approximately $21 million (approximately $14 million net of tax). Of this total, approximately $17 million of losses are expected to be included in cost of sales within the next 12 months, $1 million of gains are expected to be included in other income within the next 12 months and $5 million of losses are expected to be included in cost of sales in subsequent periods. Cash flow hedges are discontinued when Delphi determines it is no longer probable that the originally forecasted transactions will occur. The amount included in cost of sales related to hedge ineffectiveness was insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
