Foreign Currency Hedging

5. Foreign Currency Hedging

We designate the foreign currency exchange contracts used to hedge our royalty revenues based on underlying Euro-denominated sales as cash flow hedges. Euro forward contracts are presented on a net basis on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as we have entered into a netting arrangement with the counterparty. As of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, all outstanding Euro forward contracts were classified as cash flow hedges.

In January 2012, we modified our existing Euro forward and option contracts related to our licensees’ sales through December 2012 into Euro forward contracts with more favorable rates. Additionally, we entered into a series of Euro forward contracts covering the quarters in which our licensees’ sales occur through December 2014. In October 2014, we entered an additional series of Euro forward contracts covering the quarters in which our licensees' sales occurred through December 2015.

The notional amounts, Euro exchange rates and fair values of our Euro forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges were as follows:
