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. We are subject to credit risk on these contracts equal to the fair value of these instruments. Management currently believes that the risk of incurring material losses is unlikely and that the losses, if any, would be immaterial to the Company. Raw materials used by the Company are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, geopolitical and economic variables, and other unpredictable external factors. As a result, from time to time, we enter into commodity swaps to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in our operations. Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the Canadian dollar, the British pound, and the Mexican peso. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at March 31, 2018 was $304.3 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of March 31, 2018, we estimate that $1.9 million of net foreign currency derivative gains included in other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2018 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. The fair values of derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:
(In millions) |  |  |  | Fair Value |
|  | Location |  | March 31, 2018 |  |  | December 31, 2017 |
Assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Foreign exchange contracts |  | Other current assets |  | $ | 2.8 |  |  | $ | 0.8 |
Commodity contracts |  | Other current assets |  |  | — |  |  |  | 0.2 |
|  | Total assets |  | $ | 2.8 |  |  | $ | 1.0 |
Liabilities |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Foreign exchange contracts |  | Other current liabilities |  | $ | 1.6 |  |  | $ | 5.6 |
Net investment hedges |  | Other current liabilities |  |  | 1.1 |  |  |  | 0.8 |
|  | Total liabilities |  | $ | 2.7 |  |  | $ | 6.4 |
The effects of derivative financial instruments on the statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:
|  |  |  | (Loss) Gain Recognized in Income |
(In millions) Type of hedge |  | Location |  | March 31, 2018 |  |  | March 31, 2017 |
Cash flow |  | Cost of products sold |  | $ | (0.5 | ) |  | $ | (0.6 | )
Fair value |  | Other income, net |  |  | (0.1 | ) |  |  | (1.1 | )
Total |  |  |  | $ | (0.6 | ) |  | $ | (1.7 | )
The effective portion of cash flow hedges recognized in other comprehensive income were net gains of $4.3 million and $2.1 million at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges recognized in other income, net, was insignificant.
