The Company did not have any designated hedge instruments prior to February 1, 2019.

Net Investment Hedges

The foreign currency transaction gains on the Euro-denominated portion of the term loan, which is designated and effective as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in its Euro-denominated functional currency subsidiaries, are included as a component of the foreign currency translation adjustment. Gains for the three and six-month periods ended January 31, 2020, net of tax, were $3,802 and $2,843, respectively.

There were no amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") pertaining to the net investment hedge during the three and six-month periods ended January 31, 2020.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company entered into a deal-contingent, foreign currency forward contract on the September 18, 2018 related to its acquisition of EHG. Hedge accounting was not applied to this instrument, and therefore all changes in fair value were recorded in earnings.

This contract was settled in connection with the close of the EHG acquisition on February 1, 2019 in the amount of $70,777, resulting in a loss of the same amount. Of this $70,777 total loss, $31,152 and $73,707 in losses were recognized in the three and six-month periods ended January 31, 2019, respectively, and are included in Acquisition-related costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
The Company also has certain other derivative instruments which have not been designated as hedges. These other derivative instruments had a notional amount totaling approximately $34,093 and a fair value of $1,446 which is included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2020. These other derivative instruments had a notional amount totaling approximately $35,700 and a fair value of $1,226, as of July 31, 2019.
