During fiscal 2018, 2017, and 2016, the Company settled Euro foreign currency forward contracts resulting in an after-tax net loss of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, and an after-tax net gain of $0.3 million, respectively, which were included in OCI as part of a currency translation adjustment. There were no amounts recorded in the consolidated statement of operations related to ineffectiveness of Euro foreign currency forward contracts for the years ended August 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016. At August 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had outstanding Euro foreign currency forward contracts to sell 32.7 million Euro and 32.8 million Euro, respectively, at fixed prices to settle during the next fiscal quarter. At August 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company also had an outstanding foreign currency forward contract to sell 43.0 million South African rand at fixed prices to settle during the next fiscal quarter. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts qualify as hedges of a net investment in foreign operations. Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments In order to reduce exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company, at times, may enter into forward exchange or option contracts for transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency for certain of the Company’s operations. This activity primarily relates to economically hedging against foreign currency risk in purchasing inventory, sales of finished goods, and future settlement of foreign denominated assets and liabilities. The Company may choose whether or not to designate these contracts as hedges. For those contracts not designated, changes in fair value are recognized currently in the income statement. At August 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $5.0 million, respectively, of U.S. dollar equivalent of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding.
