Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative financial instruments We operate internationally and enter into intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Consequently, we are subject to market risk arising from exchange rate movements between the dates foreign currency transactions occur and the dates they are settled. We regularly use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our risks related to most of these transactions. These contracts usually have maturities of 90 days or less and generally require us to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. dollars at maturity, at rates stated in the contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in each accounting period in “Other – net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income together with the transaction gain or loss from the related balance sheet position. For the three months ended January 31, 2021, we recognized a net gain of $9,342 on foreign currency forward contracts and a realized net loss of $12,102 from the change in fair value of balance sheet positions. For the three months ended January 31, 2020, we recognized a net loss of $431 on foreign currency forward contracts and a net gain of $431 from the change in fair value of balance sheet positions. The following table summarizes, by currency, the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at January 31, 2021 and 2020:

We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments. These financial instruments include cash deposits and foreign currency forward contracts. We periodically monitor the credit ratings of these counterparties in order to minimize our exposure. Our customers represent a wide variety of industries and geographic regions. For the three months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.
