[1] OCI is defined as other comprehensive income (loss).
[2] For cash flow hedges, this represents the effective portion of the gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated OCI into income during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no material ineffectiveness with regard to the company's cash flow hedges.
[3] Gain (loss) recognized in other income, net, was partially offset by the related gain (loss) on the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of the company's operations, which were $(204) and $(50) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
