Derivatives and Hedging Derivatives and Hedging
The valuation of our derivative contracts used to manage their respective risks is described below:
•Foreign Currency – The fair value of any foreign currency option derivative is based upon valuation models applied to current market information such as strike price, spot rate, maturity date and volatility, and by reference to market values resulting from an over-the-counter market or obtaining market data for similar instruments with similar characteristics.
•Commodity – The fair value of copper derivatives is computed using a combination of intrinsic and time value valuation models, which are collectively a function of five primary variables: price of the underlying instrument, time to expiration, strike price, interest rate and volatility. The intrinsic valuation model reflects the difference between the strike price of the underlying copper derivative instrument and the current prevailing copper prices in an over-the-counter market at period end. The time value valuation model incorporates changes in the price of the underlying copper derivative instrument, the time value of money, the underlying copper derivative instrument’s strike price and the remaining time to the underlying copper derivative instrument’s expiration date from the period end date.
As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any derivative contracts that qualified for hedge accounting treatment.
Foreign Currency
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we entered into U.S. dollar and euro forward contracts. We entered into these foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate certain global transactional exposures. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any fair value adjustments required on these contracts are recorded in the “Other income (expense), net” line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the adjustment occurred.
As of March 31, 2026, the notional values of the remaining foreign currency forward contracts were as follows:

Commodity
As of March 31, 2026, we had 12 outstanding contracts to hedge exposure related to the commodity price of copper in our AES operating and reportable segment. These contracts are held with financial institutions and are intended to offset rising copper prices and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any fair value adjustments required on these contracts are recorded in the “Other income (expense), net” line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the adjustment occurred.
As of March 31, 2026, the volume of our copper contracts outstanding was as follows:
