Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES All derivatives are recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (2) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective basis. Foreign Currency Risk The Company has significant manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Germany, Finland and Brazil, and it purchases a portion of its tractors, combines and components from third-party foreign suppliers. The Company also sells products in over 140 countries throughout the world. The Company’s most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, Brazilian real and the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar, and the Euro in relation to the British pound. The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign exchange exposure by hedging foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments arising from the anticipated settlement of receivables and payables and from future purchases and sales. Where naturally offsetting currency positions do not occur, the Company hedges certain, but not all, of its exposures through the use of foreign currency contracts. The Company’s translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars is not hedged. The Company’s most significant translation exposures are the Euro, the British pound and the Brazilian real in relation to the United States dollar, and the Swiss franc in relation to the Euro. When practical, the translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings. The foreign currency contracts are primarily forward and options contracts. These contracts’ fair value measurements fall within the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Level 2 fair value measurements are generally based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a valuation model that utilizes spot and forward exchange rates, interest rates and currency pair volatility. The Company’s senior management establishes the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies. These policies are reviewed periodically by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The policies allow for the use of derivative instruments to hedge exposures to movements in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company’s policies prohibit the use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Cash Flow Hedges During 2014 and 2013, the Company designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales and purchases. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold during the period the sales and purchases are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions. The amount of the net gain recorded in other comprehensive income that was reclassified into cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $0.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, on an after-tax basis. The outstanding contracts as of June 30, 2014 range in maturity through December 2014. The following table summarizes the activity in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the derivatives held by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2014 (in millions):
|  | Before-Tax Amount |  | Income Tax |  | After-Tax Amount
Accumulated derivative net losses as of December 31, 2013 |  | $ | (0.3 | ) |  | $ | (0.1 | ) |  | $ | (0.2 | )
Net changes in fair value of derivatives |  | 0.6 |  |  | 0.7 |  |  | (0.1 | )
Net gains reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into income |  | (0.1 | ) |  | (0.1 | ) |  | — |
Accumulated derivative net losses as of June 30, 2014 |  | $ | 0.2 |  |  | $ | 0.5 |  |  | $ | (0.3 | )
The Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $81.6 million and $50.3 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, that were entered into to hedge forecasted sale and purchase transactions. Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments During 2014 and 2013, the Company entered into foreign currency contracts to hedge receivables and payables on the Company and its subsidiaries’ balance sheets that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. These contracts were classified as non-designated derivative instruments. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $3,094.9 million and $1,288.4 million, respectively, that were entered into to hedge receivables and payables that were denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported in “Other expense, net.” For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $7.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively, within “Other expense, net” related to these contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a net gain (loss) of approximately $0.4 million and $(12.4) million, respectively, within “Other expense, net” related to these contracts. Gains and losses on such contracts are substantially offset by losses and gains on the remeasurement of the underlying asset or liability being hedged.

Counterparty Risk The Company regularly monitors the counterparty risk and credit ratings of all the counterparties to the derivative instruments. The Company believes that its exposures are appropriately diversified across counterparties and that these counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions. If the Company perceives any risk with a counterparty, then the Company would cease to do business with that counterparty. There have been no negative impacts to the Company from any non-performance of any counterparties.
