Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Net Investment Hedge | Net Investment HedgeAll of our euro denominated notes were issued by Belden Inc., a USD functional currency entity. As of March 29, 2020, €767.8 million of our outstanding foreign denominated debt is designated as a net investment hedge on the foreign currency risk of our net investment in our euro foreign operations. The objective of the hedge is to protect the net investment in the foreign operation against adverse changes in the euro exchange rate. The transaction gain or loss is reported in the translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income. For the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the transaction gain associated with the net investment hedge that was reported in other comprehensive income was $54.7 million and $23.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 29, 2020, we de-designated €532.2 million of our outstanding debt that was previously designated as a net investment hedge. After the de-designation, transaction gains or losses associated with this €532.2 million of debt are reported in income from continuing operations.
