_____________
(1)
Gains and losses on forward foreign exchange contracts primarily result from currency fluctuations relative to negotiated contract rates. Gains in 2015 were primarily due to favorable currency fluctuations relative to negotiated contract rates on positions to sell the Mexican Peso. Losses in 2014 were primarily due to unfavorable currency fluctuations on embedded foreign currency derivatives in certain of the Company's operating leases in Russia. Losses in 2013 were primarily due to unfavorable currency fluctuations against the U.S. Dollar relative to negotiated contract rates.
(2)
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses reflect the impact of foreign currency fluctuation on the Company's foreign currency denominated balances. Losses in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were primarily due to the weakening of various currencies against the U.S. Dollar.
