8. Financial Instruments

We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We principally use financial instruments to reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodities used as raw materials in our products. The principal derivative financial instruments we enter into on a routine basis are foreign exchange contracts. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. The counterparties to derivative contracts are major financial institutions. Management currently believes that the risk of incurring material losses is unlikely and that the losses, if any, would be immaterial to the Company. In addition, from time to time, we enter into commodity swaps.

 

Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and the Chinese yuan. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at June 30, 2015 was $263.9 million, representing a net settlement receivable of $1.5 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2015, we estimate that $0.2 million of net foreign currency derivative losses included in other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2015 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

The fair values of derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were:
