Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
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 April 30, 2022, we recognized a net loss of $9,080 on foreign currency forward contracts and a realized net gain of $10,079 from the change in fair value of balance sheet positions. For the three months ended April 30, 2021, we recognized a net loss of $8,133 on foreign currency forward contracts and a net gain of $7,357 from the change in fair value of balance sheet positions. For the six months ended April 30, 2022, we recognized a net loss of $12,678 on foreign currency forward contracts and a realized net gain of $14,041 from the change in fair value of balance sheet positions. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, we recognized a net gain of $1,209 on foreign currency forward contracts and a net loss of $4,746 from the change in fair value of balance sheet positions. The fair values of our foreign currency forward contract assets and liabilities are included in Receivable-net and Accrued liabilities, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes, by currency, the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at April 30, 2022 and 2021:
