Derivative Financial Instruments

(8) Derivative Financial Instruments

Hasbro uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. These over-the-counter contracts, which hedge future currency requirements related to purchases of inventory, product sales and other cross-border transactions not denominated in the functional currency of the business unit, are primarily denominated in United States and Hong Kong dollars, and Euros. All contracts are entered into with a number of counterparties, all of which are major financial institutions. The Company believes that a default by a single counterparty would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. Hasbro does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of currency rate fluctuations on firmly committed and projected future foreign currency transactions. All of the Company's designated foreign currency forward contracts are considered to be cash flow hedges. These instruments hedge a portion of the Company's currency requirements associated with anticipated inventory purchases, product sales and other cross-border transactions in 2017 through 2021.

At July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016, the notional amounts and fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments were as follows:

The Company has a master agreement with each of its counterparties that allows for the netting of outstanding forward contracts. The fair values of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016 as follows:

Net gains (losses) on cash flow hedging activities have been reclassified from other comprehensive earnings (loss) to net earnings for the quarter and six-month periods ended July 2, 2017 and June 26, 2016 as follows:

In addition, losses of $1,528 and $6,486 were reclassified to earnings as a result of hedge ineffectiveness for the quarter and six-month periods ended July 2, 2017, respectively. Net gains of $863 and $4,820 were reclassified to earnings as a result of hedge ineffectiveness for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 26, 2016, respectively.

Undesignated Hedges

The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the impact of changes in the fair value of intercompany loans due to foreign currency changes. The Company does not use hedge accounting for these contracts as changes in the fair values of these contracts are substantially offset by changes in the fair value of the intercompany loans.  As of July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016 the total notional amounts of the Company's undesignated derivative instruments were $163,969, $105,569 and $268,308, respectively.

At July 2, 2017, June 26, 2016 and December 25, 2016, the fair values of the Company's undesignated derivative financial instruments were recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

The Company recorded net (losses) gains of ($2,856) and $725 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and six-month periods ended July 2, 2017, respectively, and $5,079 and $8,334 on these instruments to other (income) expense, net for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 26, 2016, respectively, relating to the change in fair value of such derivatives, substantially offsetting gains and losses from the change in fair value of intercompany loans to which the contracts relate.
