Derivative Instruments And Hedges [Abstract] |
Financial Derivatives | Note 8 – Financial Derivatives The Company uses certain financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses these derivative instruments to hedge exposures in the ordinary course of business and does not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The Company manages market and credit risks associated with its derivative instruments by establishing and monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken, and by entering into transactions with counterparties that have investment grade credit ratings. Fair values of derivative instruments are as follows:

For the three months ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the Company settled foreign currency forward contracts resulting in an after-tax net gain of $0.7 million and after-tax net loss of $0.7 million, respectively, which were included in other comprehensive income as part of a currency translation adjustment. There were no amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings related to ineffectiveness of foreign currency forward contracts related to net investment hedges for the three months ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017. At November 30, 2018, November 30, 2017, and August 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts to sell a notional amount of 32.5 million Euro, 32.6 million Euro, and 32.7 million Euro, respectively, at fixed prices to settle during the next fiscal quarter. At November 30, 2018, November 30, 2017, and August 31, 2018, the Company had an outstanding foreign currency forward contract to sell a notional amount of 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 The Company generally does not elect hedge accounting treatment for derivative contracts related to future settlements of foreign denominated intercompany receivables and payables. If the Company does not elect hedge accounting treatment for a derivative, the Company carries the derivative at its fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognizes any subsequent changes in its fair value during a period through earnings in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. At November 30, 2018, November 30, 2017, and August 31, 2018, the Company had notional value of $1.9 million, $6.2 million, and $5.0 million, respectively, of U.S. dollar equivalent of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding that are not designated as hedging instruments.
