Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity | 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity The Company may use forward exchange contracts and foreign currency denominated debt to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risk in order to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on short-term foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions, non-functional currency raw material purchases, non-functional currency sales, and other known foreign currency exposures. These forward exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than 18 months. The Company’s primary hedging activities and their accounting treatment are summarized below. Forward exchange contracts – Certain forward exchange contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. The Company had $38.1 million and $76.0 million of forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the amounts reclassified into net earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings that offset the earnings impact of the related non-functional asset or liability hedged in the same period were not material. In addition, the Company utilizes forward exchange contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges; the results of these transactions were not material to the financial statements. Net investment hedges – The Company has certain debt denominated in Euros, Swiss Francs, and British Pounds. These debt instruments have been designated as partial hedges of the Company’s Euro, Swiss Franc, and British Pound net asset positions. Changes in the fair value of this debt attributable to changes in the spot foreign exchange rate are recorded in foreign currency translation in OCI. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the total value of the Company’s Euro, Swiss Franc, and British Pound debt designated as net investment hedges was $364.2 million and $366.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the impact of foreign exchange rates on these debt instruments increased debt by $2.5 million and decreased debt by $2.3 million, respectively, which has been recorded as foreign currency translation in OCI.
