Hedge Accounting and Hedging Programs

We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting.

Balance Sheet Hedging

Hedges of Foreign Currency Assets and Liabilities

We hedge portions of our net recognized foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that the value of these assets and liabilities will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the notional amounts of foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding not designated as hedging instruments were $56,269 and $60,858, respectively.

Cash Flow Hedging

Hedges of Forecasted Foreign Currency Transactions

In countries outside the U.S., we transact business in U.S. dollars and in various other currencies. We may use foreign exchange option contracts or forward contracts to hedge certain cash flow exposures resulting from changes in these foreign currency exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts, carried at fair value, have maturities of up to one year. We enter into these foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated revenue in the normal course of business, and accordingly, they are not speculative in nature. The notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges were $3,071 and $2,928 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency option contracts designated as cash flow hedges were $8,410 and $8,619 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Foreign Currency Derivatives

We use foreign currency exchange rate derivatives to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates for anticipated intercompany cash transactions between Tennant Company and its subsidiaries. We entered into Euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange cross currency swaps for all of the anticipated cash flows associated with an intercompany loan from a wholly-owned European subsidiary. We enter into these foreign exchange cross currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency denominated cash flows associated with this intercompany loan, and accordingly, they are not speculative in nature. These cross currency swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. The hedged cash flows as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 included €179,400 and €181,200 of total notional values, respectively. As of March 31, 2018 the aggregate scheduled interest payments over the course of the loan and related swaps amounted to €29,400. The scheduled maturity and principal payment of the loan and related swaps of €150,000 are due in April 2022.

The fair value of derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

Contracts that mature within the next 12 months are included in Other Current Assets and Other Current Liabilities for asset derivatives and liabilities derivatives, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contracts with maturities greater than 12 months are included in Other Assets and Other Liabilities for asset derivatives and liability derivatives, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are recorded net where a right of offset exists with the same derivative counterparty.

As of March 31, 2018, we anticipate reclassifying approximately $1,716 of losses from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to net earnings during the next 12 months.
