FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company derives a portion of its revenues in foreign currencies, predominantly in Europe and Japan, as part of its ongoing business operations. In addition, a portion of its assets are held in the nonfunctional currencies of its subsidiaries. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to manage a portion of the volatility related to transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company's foreign currency forward contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions that are independent of those exposures.

The Company is exposed to the risk that the counterparties to its hedges may be unable to meet the terms of these agreements. To mitigate the risk, only contracts with carefully selected highly-rated major financial institutions are entered into. In the event of non-performance by these counterparties, the asset position carrying values of the financial instruments represent the maximum amount of loss that can be incurred; however, no losses as a result of counterparty defaults are expected. The Company does not require and is not required to pledge collateral for these financial instruments. The Company does not enter into foreign currency forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes and is not party to any leveraged derivative instruments.

The effective portions of designated cash flow hedges are recorded in OCI until the hedged item is recognized in operations. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments and the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are adjusted to fair value through operations.

Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time period. Deferred gains and losses associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified immediately into operations through Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are reflected in Other income, net unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions.

All derivative assets and liabilities were designated as hedging relationships as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.
