Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Stockholders’ equity includes certain items classified as AOCI, including:

•Unrealized gain (loss) on anticipated sales hedging transactions relates 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 11, Derivative Instruments for more details.

•Unrealized gain (loss) on forward interest rate swap hedging transactions relates to certain interest rate swaps that the Company previously entered into as part of its strategy to mitigate interest rate risk exposure associated with its variable rate debt. These particular interest rate swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges, were terminated prior to 2019, with remaining losses being reclassified into Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in 2019.

•Foreign currency translation adjustments relate to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have designated a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar. The Company is required to translate the subsidiary functional currency financial statements to U.S. 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 AOCI.

The changes in each component of AOCI during the three years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (in millions):
