4. Other Comprehensive Income

Other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, net unrealized gains and losses from cash flow hedges and net investment hedges, and the unamortized gain on the post-retirement medical plans net of their related tax effects.

The following table illustrates the changes in the balances of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income for the periods presented. The unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges and the unrecognized gain on the postretirement medical plan are presented net of tax:

	Unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges			Gain on postretirement medical plan			Foreign currency translation adjustments			Accumulated other comprehensive income
Ending balance, July 31, 2012	$	876		$	978		$	57,557		$	59,411
Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassification	(425		)	1,103			(3,446		)	(2,768		)
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income	(352		)	(228		)	—			(580		)
Ending balance, July 31, 2013	$	99		$	1,853		$	54,111		$	56,063
Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassification	(21		)	3,313			1,334			4,626
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income	(90		)	(312		)	3,869			3,467
Ending balance, July 31, 2014	$	(12	)	$	4,854		$	59,314		$	64,156

The increase in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") as of July 31, 2014 compared to July 31, 2013 was primarily due to the accumulated foreign currency translation loss in Korea and Thailand, which was reclassified into earnings upon the completion of the first phase of the Die-Cut divestiture during the year ended July 31, 2014. The increase in AOCI is also attributable to a $4,691 actuarial gain on the U.S. post-retirement medical plan valuation for the year ended July 31, 2014. The depreciation of the U.S. dollar against other currencies also contributed to the increase in AOCI from the prior year. The foreign currency translation adjustments line in the table above includes the impact of foreign currency translation, foreign currency translation on intercompany notes, and the settlements of net investment hedges, net of tax. Of the total $3,467 in amounts reclassified from AOCI, the $3,869 loss on foreign currency translation adjustments was reclassified to the loss on the sale of the Die-Cut divestiture, the $90 gain on cash flow hedges was reclassified into cost of products sold, and the $312 net gain on postretirement plans was split with $443 of gains reclassified into SG&A and a $131 loss reclassified to the loss on the sale of the Die-Cut divestiture.
