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 June 30, 2015, Delphi has entered into derivative instruments to hedge cash flows extending out to June 2017.

Additionally, the Company has designated the €700 million Euro-denominated 2015 Senior Notes as a net investment hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its investments in certain Euro-denominated subsidiaries. Due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the Euro-denominated debt due to exchange rate changes are recognized in Cumulative translation adjustment within Other comprehensive income to offset changes in the value of the net investment of these Euro-denominated operations.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had the following outstanding notional amounts related to commodity and foreign currency forward contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted exposures:



Commodity	Quantity Hedged	Unit of Measure	Notional Amount (Approximate USD Equivalent)

	(in thousands)		(in millions)
Copper	89,364	pounds	$	235



Foreign Currency	Quantity Hedged	Unit of Measure	Notional Amount (Approximate USD Equivalent)

	(in millions)
Mexican Peso	9,757	MXN	$	625
Chinese Yuan Renminbi	527	CNY	85
New Turkish Lira	208	TRY	80
Polish Zloty	188	PLN	50
Hungarian Forint	13,136	HUF	45
Brazilian Real	52	BRL	15

The Company had additional commodity and foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts that individually amounted to less than $10 million.

Additionally, during the six months ended June 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 fair value of Delphi’s derivative financial instruments was in a net liability position as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

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 sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The gain or loss recognized in income for non-designated derivative instruments was recorded in other income, net and cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

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 June 30, 2015 were approximately $114 million (approximately $84 million net of tax). Of this total, approximately $83 million of losses are expected to be included in cost of sales within the next 12 months and $31 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 cash flow hedge ineffectiveness was insignificant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Changes in the value of the Euro-denominated debt designated as a net investment hedge are recorded in Cumulative translation adjustment within OCI to offset changes in the value of the net investment in Euro-denominated operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, $19 million and $21 million, respectively, of losses were recognized in OCI. Gains or losses on net investment hedges are reclassified to earnings only when the related currency translation adjustments are required to be reclassified, usually upon sale or liquidation of the investment, and there were no amounts reclassified or recognized for ineffectiveness in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Cumulative losses included in accumulated OCI on the net investment hedge as of June 30, 2015 were approximately $21 million due to the strengthening of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of this arrangement.
