Foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges

Autodesk uses foreign currency contracts to reduce the exchange rate impact on a portion of the net revenue or operating expense of certain anticipated transactions. These currency collars and forward contracts are designated and documented as cash flow hedges. The notional amounts of these contracts are presented net settled and were $934 million at January 31, 2023, and $1.08 billion at January 31, 2022. Outstanding contracts are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The majority of the net gain of $64 million remaining in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” as of January 31, 2023, is expected to be recognized into earnings within the next 24 months.

The location and amount of gain or loss recognized in income on cash flow hedges together with the total amount of income or expense presented in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations where the effects of the hedge are recorded were as follows for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2023 and 2022:
