Derivative Instruments with Hedge Accounting Designation

Cash Flow Hedges: We utilize forward and swap contracts that generally mature within two years designated as cash flow hedges to minimize our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates or commodity prices for certain capital expenditures and manufacturing costs.

The effects of cash flow hedging activities were as follows:
For the year ended202520242023
Gain (loss) from cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)$— $33 $30 
Gain (loss) excluded from effectiveness testing in cost of goods sold(107)(135)(101)
Gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings, primarily to cost of goods sold(140)(172)(261)

As of August 28, 2025, we expect to reclassify $43 million of pre-tax gains related to cash flow hedges from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings in the next 12 months.
Fair Value Hedges: We utilize currency forward contracts that generally mature within one year designated as fair value hedges to minimize our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates for non-U.S.-dollar-denominated cash and investments in debt securities. The fair value of our hedged cash and investments in debt securities was $3.05 billion as of August 28, 2025. The changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as fair value hedges and the offsetting changes in the underlying fair values of the hedged items are both recognized in earnings. The effects of fair value currency hedges on our consolidated statements of operations, recognized in other non-operating income (expense), net, were not material for the periods presented.

We also utilized fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to minimize certain exposures to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt that result from fluctuations in benchmark interest rates. The effects of fair value hedges on our consolidated statements of operations, recognized in interest expense, were not material for the periods presented. In the third quarter of 2025, we prepaid the 2027 Notes and settled the related fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 12. Debt.

Derivative Instruments without Hedge Accounting Designation

Currency Derivatives: We generally utilize a rolling hedge strategy with currency forward contracts that mature within three months to hedge our exposures of monetary assets and liabilities from changes in currency exchange rates. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars and the associated outstanding forward contracts are marked to market. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments without hedge accounting designation as well as the changes in the underlying monetary assets and liabilities from changes in currency exchange rates are included in other non-operating income (expense), net. The amounts recognized for derivative instruments without hedge accounting designation were not material for the periods presented. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Derivative Counterparty Credit Risk and Master Netting Arrangements

Our derivative instruments expose us to credit risk to the extent counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the contracts. Our maximum exposure to loss due to credit risk if counterparties fail completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts would generally equal the fair value of assets for these contracts as listed in the tables above. We seek to mitigate such risk by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions and by spreading risk across multiple financial institutions. As of August 28, 2025 and August 29, 2024, amounts netted under our master netting arrangements were not material.
