Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is an entity's change in equity during the period related to transactions, events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Foreign exchange gains and losses are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the results of operations and reflect U.S. dollar-denominated transaction gains and losses due to fluctuations in foreign currency.
