DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 5:-DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into hedge transactions with a major financial institution, using derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts and options to purchase and sell foreign currencies, in order to reduce the net currency exposure associated with anticipated expenses (primarily salaries and related expenses that are designated as cash flow hedges), trade receivables and forecasted revenues denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollar.

NOTE 5:-DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS (Cont.)

The Company currently hedges such future exposures for a maximum period of two years. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain foreign currency exchange exposures for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to immateriality, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC No. 820 at Level 2. Cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes. The net income (loss) recognized in "Financial income (expense), net" during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $1,200, $534 and $1,480, respectively.

The Company had a net unrealized loss associated with cash flow hedges of $326 and $846 recorded in other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had outstanding hedge transactions in the net amount of $ 8,700 and $ 36,169, respectively.

The fair value of the outstanding foreign exchange contracts recorded by the Company on its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, as assets and liabilities are as follows:

Gain or loss on the derivative instruments, which partially offset the foreign currency impact from the underlying exposures, reclassified from other comprehensive loss to operating expenses and cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $ 203, $ (96) and $ 903, respectively.

Non-designated hedges:

The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate variability in gains and losses generated from the re-measurement of certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These derivatives do not qualify for special hedge accounting treatment. These derivatives are carried at fair value with changes recorded in financial income, net. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are largely offset by the re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities. The derivatives have maturities of up to twelve months.
