Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Derivative Transactions

6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS

The Company uses interest rate swaps, commodity options in the form of collars and swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts to manage its various exposures to interest rate, commodity price and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. For interest rate swaps, gains and losses resulting from the difference between the spot rate and applicable base rate is recorded in interest expense. For collars, commodity swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts, contract settlement gains and losses are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in Derivative (gains) losses and other (income) expense, net. Gains and losses related to mark-to-market adjustments for changes in fair value of the derivative contracts are also recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in Derivative (gains) losses and other (income) expense, net.

The Company recorded losses and (gains) on mark-to-market adjustments for changes in the fair value of derivatives contracts as well and losses and (gains) on the settlement of derivative contracts as follows:
