(a)We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk of foreign currency exposures resulting from receivables, payables, intercompany receivables, intercompany payables and loans denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange contracts are valued using market exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedges. (b)The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed-rate liabilities due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate, Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), with the objective of minimizing the cost of borrowed funds. The Company's interest rate swaps involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. (c)Net assets of our foreign subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize net investment hedges to offset the translation adjustment arising from re-measuring our investment in foreign subsidiaries. The fair value of these hedges is primarily based on the exchange rate between the currency pair of the hedge upon which settlement is based and includes an adjustment for the counterparty’s or Company’s credit risk. The notional amount of our net investment hedge contracts as of July 31, 2025 was $855,821. (d)Executive officers and other highly compensated employees may defer up to 100% of their salary and annual cash incentive compensation and for executive officers, up to 90% of their long-term incentive compensation, into various non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Deferrals can be allocated to various market performance measurement funds. Changes in the value of compensation deferred under these plans are recognized each period based on the fair value of the underlying measurement funds.
Carrying Amounts and Fair Values of Financial Instruments, Other than Cash and Cash Equivalents, Receivables and Accounts Payable | The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
