Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company began using foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate fluctuations have on non-U.S. dollar balance sheet exposures. The Company recognizes both the gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts and the gains and losses on the remeasurement of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities within "Other expense" in the consolidated condensed statements of income. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these foreign currency derivative instruments.

As of September 28, 2019, the Company held one foreign currency forward contract denominated in British Pound Sterling with a notional value of $57.0 million. The fair value of this contract was not material as of September 28, 2019.

The before-tax effect of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments was as follows (in thousands):
