Derivative Instruments
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to risks relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency exchange rate instruments, are used to manage changes in market conditions related to foreign currency exchange rate volatility. All derivatives are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value at the end of each period. The counterparties to the Company’s derivative agreements are major international financial institutions. The Company continually monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.
Foreign Currency
The Company conducts a significant portion of its business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the currency in which the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are reported, and as a result, the Company’s operating results are affected by foreign currency exchange rate volatility relative to the U.S. dollar.
As of June 30, 2015, the aggregate U.S. dollar notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts, none of which were designated as hedges, totaled $139 million, all with settlement dates within one year. The majority of forward contracts are in U.S. dollars ($125 million), British pounds (£5.9 million) and Euros (€4.2 million), with lesser amounts in Chinese yuans and Australian dollars. The market value of forward contracts are determined using pricing models based upon observable market inputs including both forward and spot prices for the underlying currencies. The net fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts is recorded as an unrealized gain (loss) under "Other (expense) income, net" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:
