DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Cash Flow Hedges

Delphi Technologies is exposed to market risk, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and changes in interest rates, which may result in cash flow risks. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, the Company aggregates the exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. For exposures that are not offset within its operations, the Company enters into various derivative transactions pursuant to its risk management policies, which prohibit holding or issuing derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes, and designation of derivative instruments is performed on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Company assesses the initial and ongoing effectiveness of its hedging relationships in accordance with its documented policy.

In December 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges, with a combined notional amount of $400 million where the variable rates under the Term Loan A Facility have been exchanged for a fixed rate. These interest rate swap agreements mature in September 2022 and convert the nature of $400 million of the loan from LIBOR floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt.

Prior to the Separation, the Former Parent centrally managed its exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and certain commodity prices by entering into a variety of forward contracts and swaps with various counterparties. Such financial exposures were managed in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Former Parent and accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Due to the Company’s participation in the Former Parent’s hedging program, the Company was allocated a portion of the impact from these activities. Based on the exposure levels related to Delphi Technologies, the Company recorded gains of $16 million in cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2017.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had the following outstanding notional amounts related to foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges that were entered into to hedge forecasted exposures:

Foreign Currency	Quantity Hedged	Unit of Measure	Notional Amount (USD Equivalent)
	(in millions)
Chinese Yuan	743	RMB	110
Euro	63	EUR	70
Mexican Peso	1,057	MXN	60
Polish Zloty	168	PLN	40
Singapore Dollar	37	SGD	30
Turkish Lira	72	TRY	10
British Pound	5	GBP	10

As of December 31, 2019, Delphi Technologies has entered into derivative instruments to hedge cash flows extending out to September 2022.

Gains and losses on derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”), to the extent that hedges are effective, until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. Unrealized amounts in accumulated OCI will fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of hedge derivative contracts at each reporting period. Net losses on cash flow hedges included in accumulated OCI as of December 31, 2019 were approximately $2 million (approximately $2 million, net of tax). Of this total, approximately $3 million of gains are expected to be included in cost of sales and interest expense within the next 12 months and $5 million of losses are expected to be included in interest expense in subsequent periods. Cash flow hedges are discontinued when Delphi Technologies determines it is no longer probable that the originally forecasted transactions will occur. Cash flows from derivatives used to manage foreign exchange and interest rate risks are classified as operating activities within the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company is also exposed to the risk that adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates could impact its net investment in non-U.S. subsidiaries. To manage this risk, the Company designated a qualifying non-derivative instrument, foreign currency-denominated debt, as a net investment hedge of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The gains or losses on instruments designated as net investment hedges are recognized within OCI to offset changes in the value of the net investment in these foreign currency-denominated operations. Gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings only when the related currency translation adjustments are required to be reclassified, usually upon sale or liquidation of the investment.

In December 2018 and March 2019, as a means of managing foreign currency risk related to our significant operations in Europe, the Company executed fixed-for-fixed cross currency swaps, in which the Company will pay Euros and receive U.S. dollars with a combined notional amount of $600 million. These agreements are designated as net investment hedges and will have a maturity date of September 2022.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

On certain occasions the Company enters into certain foreign currency contracts that are not designated as hedges. When hedge accounting is not applied to derivative contracts, gains and losses are recorded to other income (expense), net and cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations.
