Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as other comprehensive income (loss), including:
Unrealized (loss) gain on anticipated sales hedging transactions relate to derivative instruments used to hedge the exposure related to currency exchange rates for forecasted Euro sales. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges, and the Company defers income statement recognition of gains and losses until the hedged transaction occurs. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments for more details.
Unrealized (loss) gain on forward interest rate swaps hedging transactions refer to the hedging of the interest rate risk exposure associated with the variable rate commitment entered into for the Acquisition. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments for more details.
Foreign currency translation adjustment relates to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have been designated a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company is required to translate the subsidiary functional currency financial statements to dollars using a combination of historical, period-end, and average foreign exchange rates. This combination of rates creates the foreign currency translation adjustment component of other comprehensive income (loss).
The components of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) for each of the three years ended December 31 are as follows (in millions):
 
Unrealized (loss) gain on sales hedging
 
Unrealized (loss) gain on forward interest rate swaps
