Foreign Currency Remeasurement

2. Foreign Currency Remeasurement

 

The U.S. dollar has been determined to be the functional currency for the net assets of our German operations. The transactions are recorded in the local currencies and are remeasured at each reporting date using the historical rates for nonmonetary assets and liabilities and current exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in other income (loss). The Company recognized a loss of approximately $16,800 and $8,400, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and a loss of approximately $1,300 and $7,600, respectively, for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company does not engage in currency hedging transactions.
