FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of market risks, which primarily include the risks related to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These financial exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as part of its overall risk management program. The objective of this risk management program is to reduce the volatility that these market risks may have on the Company’s operating results and equity. The Company employs derivative financial instruments to hedge certain anticipated transactions, firm commitments, or assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, the Company has utilized interest rate swaps to convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt.

Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedging
Cash Flow Hedges
The following summarizes the notional amounts of cash flow hedges by derivative instrument type at December 31, 2019 and the notional amounts expected to mature during the next 12 months, with a discussion of the various cash flow hedges by derivative instrument type following the table:

Interest rate swaps150.0  —  
Total derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges$497.3  $264.0  
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The Company uses a program to hedge select anticipated foreign currency cash flows to reduce volatility in both cash flows and reported earnings of the consolidated Company. The Company accounts for the designated foreign exchange forward contracts as cash flow hedges. As a result, the Company records the fair value of the contracts primarily through AOCI based on the tested effectiveness of the foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company measures the effectiveness of cash flow hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value will be deferred in AOCI and released and recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the hedged transaction is recorded. The time value component of the fair value of the derivative is excluded and is reported on a straight line basis in Cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period which it is applicable. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company hedges various currencies, primarily in euros, Swedish kronor, Canadian dollars, British pounds, Swiss francs and Australian dollars.

These foreign exchange forward contracts generally have maturities up to 18 months and the counterparties to the transactions are typically large international financial institutions.

Interest Rate Risk Management
On March 11, 2019, the Company entered into a Treasury Rate Lock ("T-Lock") transaction to hedge the base interest rate variability exposure on a planned $150 million ten year debt issuance in 2021. The T-Lock is designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk. The T-Lock will be cash settled when the debt is issued, with the fair value of the T-Lock recognized as an asset or liability with an offsetting position in AOCI. As interest is accrued on this debt in the future, a pro-rata amount from AOCI will be released and recorded in Other expense (income),net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts infrequently as they are only used to manage interest rate risk on long-term debt instruments and not for speculative purposes. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Cash Flow Hedge Activity
The amount of gains and losses recorded in AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, interest expense and cost of products sold in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations related to all cash flow hedges were as follows:

Overall, the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are considered to be highly effective for accounting purposes. At December 31, 2019, the Company expects to reclassify $1.1 million of deferred net gains on cash flow hedges recorded in AOCI in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the next 12 months. The term over which the Company is hedging exposures to variability of cash flows (for all forecasted transactions) is typically 18 months.

For the rollforward of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in AOCI see Note 3, Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
The Company has significant investments in foreign subsidiaries the most significant of which are denominated in euros, Swiss francs, Japanese yen and Swedish kronor. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in currency exchange rates. To hedge a portion of this exposure the Company employs both derivative and non-derivative financial instruments. The derivative instruments consist of foreign exchange forward contracts and cross currency basis swaps. The non-derivative instruments consist of foreign currency denominated debt held at the parent company level. Translation gains and losses related to the net assets of the foreign subsidiaries are offset by gains and losses in derivative and non-derivative financial instruments designated as hedges of net investments and are included in AOCI. The time value component of the fair value of the derivative is reported on a straight line basis in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period which it is applicable. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows except for derivative instruments that include an other-than-insignificant financing element, in which case all cash flows will be classified as financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company early terminated its existing 245.6 million euro cross currency basis swap and entered into a new 263.4 million euro cross currency basis swap maturing in August 2021. The cross currency basis swap is designated as a hedge of net investments. This contract effectively converts the $296.0 million bond coupon from 4.1% to 1.2%, which will result in a net reduction of interest expense through maturity in 2021. The early termination resulted in a cash receipt of $17.4 million.

The notional amounts of hedges of net investments by derivative instrument type at December 31, 2019 and the notional amounts expected to mature during the next 12 months were as follows:
Aggregate
 Notional

Foreign exchange forward contracts$775.9  $258.6  
Cross currency basis swaps295.4  —  
Total derivative instruments designated as hedges of net investment$1,071.3  $258.6  
The fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts and cross currency basis swaps is the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay at the reporting date, taking into account the effective interest rates, cross currency swap basis rates and foreign exchange rates. The effective portion of the change in the value of these derivatives is recorded in AOCI, net of tax effects.

The amount of gains and losses recorded in AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Interest expense and Other expense (income), net in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the hedges of net investments were as follows:

Fair Value Hedges
Foreign Exchange Risk Management

The Company has an intercompany loan denominated in Swedish kronor that is exposed to volatility in currency exchange rates. The Company employs derivative financial instruments to hedge this exposure. The Company accounts for these designated foreign exchange forward contracts as fair value hedges. The Company measures the effectiveness of fair value hedges of anticipated transactions on a spot-to-spot basis rather than on a forward-to-forward basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair value will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The notional amounts of fair value hedges by derivative instrument type at December 31, 2019 and the notional amounts expected to mature during the next 12 months were as follows:
(in millions)Aggregate Notional AmountAggregate Notional Amount Maturing within 12 Months
Foreign exchange forward contracts$94.0  $38.4

The Company had no hedges of fair value during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges

The Company enters into derivative instruments with the intent to partially mitigate the foreign exchange revaluation risk associated with recorded assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency. The gains and losses on these derivative transactions offset the gains and losses generated by the revaluation of the underlying non-functional currency balances and are recorded in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company primarily uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge these risks. Any cash flows associated with the foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps not designated as hedges are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Balance Sheet Offsetting
Substantially all of the Company’s derivative contracts are subject to netting arrangements, whereby the right to offset occurs in the event of default or termination in accordance with the terms of the arrangements with the counterparty. While these contracts contain the enforceable right to offset through netting arrangements with the same counterparty, the Company elects to present them on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
