Derivative instruments designated as hedges

Fair value hedges

Pursuant to its interest rate and risk management strategy, during the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company entered into multiple interest rate swap transactions to hedge the fair value of $275 million of the Company's 4.45% term notes, due 2022, which effectively converted the debt into floating interest rate debt. For accounting purposes, these interest rate swap transactions were designated as fair value hedges and qualified for short-cut method of hedge accounting, as defined under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Accordingly, changes in the fair values of the interest rate swaps are reported in earnings and fully offset changes in the fair value of the hedged debt (see Note 14); therefore, no net gain or loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The following table presents the pre-tax gains (losses) related to the fair value hedges and the related hedged items, for the twelve months ended April 3, 2015 and March 28, 2014, respectively:

	Derivative Instrument					Hedged Item
(Amounts in millions)	Statement of Operations line item	Gain (Loss) for the Twelve Months Ended				Balance Sheet line item	Gain (Loss) for the Twelve Months Ended
		April 3, 2015		March 28, 2014			April 3, 2015			March 28, 2014
Interest rate swaps	Other Income (Expense)	$	15	$	3	Debt	$	(15	)	$	(3	)

Cash flow hedges

During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company designated certain foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges, to reduce risks related to certain Indian Rupee denominated intercompany obligations and forecasted transactions. As of April 3, 2015, the notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges was $383 million, and the related forecasted transactions extend through March 2017. The Company did not enter into any transactions designated as cash flow hedges in fiscal 2014 and 2013.

The Company performed an assessment at the inception of the cash flow hedge transactions and determined all critical terms of the hedging instruments and hedged items matched; therefore there is no ineffectiveness to be recorded and all changes in the hedging instruments’ fair value are recorded in accumulated OCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions are recognized in earnings. The Company performs an assessment of critical terms on an on-going basis throughout the hedging period.

During the year ended April 3, 2015, the Company had no cash flow hedges for which it was probable that the hedged transaction would not occur. As of April 3, 2015, less than $1 million of the existing amount of losses related to the cash flow hedge reported in accumulated OCI is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

The following table presents the pre-tax gains (losses) associated with the cash flow hedges, recognized in accumulated OCI, for the twelve months ended April 3, 2015:

(Amounts in millions)	Gain (Loss) recognized in Accumulated OCI (effective portion) for the Twelve Months Ended			Gain (Loss) reclassified into cost of services from Accumulated OCI (effective portion) for the Twelve Months Ended		Gain (Loss) recognized in Other Income (Expense) (ineffective portion) for the Twelve Months Ended

Derivatives not designated for hedge accounting

Total return swaps

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company entered into total return swaps derivative contracts (TRS) to manage exposure to market volatility of the notional investments underlying the Company's deferred compensation obligations. For accounting purposes, these TRS are not designated as hedges, as defined under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and all changes in their fair value and changes in the associated deferred compensation liabilities are recorded in cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses. The TRS are entered into monthly and are settled on the last day of every fiscal month. The Company did not enter into TRS in fiscal 2014 and 2013.

Foreign currency derivatives

The Company manages the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies by using short-term foreign currency forward and option contracts to economically hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, including intercompany accounts and loans. For accounting purposes, these foreign currency option and forward contracts are not designated as hedges, as defined under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and all changes in their fair value are reported in current period earnings within the other income (expense) line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The notional amount of the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of April 3, 2015 and March 28, 2014 was $700 million and $816 million, respectively. The notional amount of option contracts outstanding as of April 3, 2015 and March 28, 2014 was $0 million and $81 million, respectively.

The following table presents the pretax amounts affecting income related to derivatives not designated for hedge accounting for the years ended April 3, 2015, March 28, 2014, and March 29, 2013 respectively:

Other risks

As discussed further in Note 8, the Company is exposed to the risk of losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its derivative contracts. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company regularly reviews its credit exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. The Company also enters into enforceable master netting arrangements with some of its counterparties. However for financial reporting purposes it is the Company’s policy to not offset derivative assets and liabilities despite the existence of enforceable master netting arrangements with some of its counterparties. As of April 3, 2015, the amount that the Company elected to not offset for derivatives subject to master netting arrangements was approximately $1 million. As ofMarch 28, 2014there were no amounts that the Company elected to offset.The Company's derivative contracts do not require it to hold or post collateral.
