Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts

 

We operate and sell our products in various global markets and, as a result, we are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To minimize foreign exchange volatility, we utilize foreign currency forward contracts to offset future movements in foreign exchange rates that affect certain existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. Under this program, our strategy is to have increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures mitigated by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risks and volatility associated with foreign currency transaction gains or losses.

 

We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. For accounting purposes, our foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and, accordingly, we record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of our reporting period in our condensed consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded within foreign transaction gain (loss) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for both realized and unrealized gains and losses. The cash flows associated with the foreign currency forward contracts are reported in net cash used in operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

The fair value of our foreign exchange derivative contracts was determined based on current foreign currency exchange rates and forward points. All our foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding on June 29, 2024 will mature during the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
