Derivatives and Risk Management
Note 9. Derivatives and Risk Management
Due to the global nature of our operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We enter into FX derivative contracts to reduce the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flow. We are also exposed to equity price risk in connection with our Notes, including exchange and settlement provisions based on the price of our ordinary shares at exchange or maturity of the Notes. In addition, the capped call transactions associated with the Notes also include settlement provisions that are based on the price of our ordinary shares, subject to a capped price per share.
We measure all outstanding derivatives each period end at fair value and report the fair value as either financial assets or liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. At inception of the contract, the derivative is designated as either a freestanding derivative or a hedge. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are referred to as freestanding derivatives with changes in fair value included in earnings.
If the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the derivative will be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings upon settlement/termination. FX derivative gains and losses in AOCI are reclassified to our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) as shown in the tables below. We evaluate hedge effectiveness at inception. Cash flows from derivative contracts are reported as operating activities on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Freestanding FX Derivative Contracts
The gross notional amount of FX derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments outstanding at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $332.2 million and $338.0 million, respectively. These derivative contracts are designed to offset the FX effects in earnings of various intercompany loans and trade receivables. We recorded net (losses) gains for these freestanding derivatives of $(11.7) million and $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $(4.8) million and $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These (losses) and gains are included in foreign exchange and other gains (losses) on our condensed consolidated statement of income (loss).
Counterparty Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to our derivatives at maturity.
The two counterparties to the capped call transactions are financial institutions. To limit our credit risk, we selected financial institutions with a minimum long-term investment grade credit rating. Our exposure to the credit risk of the counterparties is not secured by any collateral. If a counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings, with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under the capped call transactions with that counterparty.
To manage credit risk with respect to our other derivatives, the Company selects and periodically reviews counterparties based on credit ratings, limits its exposure with respect to each counterparty, and monitors the market positions. However, if one or more of these counterparties were in a liability position to the Company and were unable to meet their obligations, any transactions with the counterparty could be subject to early termination, which could result in substantial losses for the Company.
Cash Flow Hedges

We offset fair value amounts associated with our derivative instruments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets that are executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements. Our netting arrangements include a right to set off or net together purchases and sales of similar products in the settlement process.
