Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

10.Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Commodity Price Risk Management

The Company has arrangements with certain customers under which it has a firm commitment to deliver copper-based superconductors at a fixed price. In order to minimize the volatility that fluctuations in the price of copper have on the Company’s sales of these commodities, the Company enters into commodity hedge contracts. As commodity contracts settle, gains (losses) as a result of changes in fair values are adjusted to the contracts with the customers through revenues.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk Management

The Company had the following notional amounts outstanding under foreign exchange contracts, cross-currency interest rate swap agreements and long-term debt designated as net investment hedges and the respective fair value of the financial instruments recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows (in millions):

In addition, the Company periodically enters into purchase and sales contracts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries in the transaction. The Company accounts for these transactions separately valuing the “embedded derivative” component of these contracts. The contracts, denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the transacting parties, amounted to approximately $17.3 million and $15.3 million for the purchase of products at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively. The Company records the changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives in interest and other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
