Derivatives and Hedging
Note 20. Derivatives and Hedging
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions of its international subsidiaries as well as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates relating to its long-term debt. The Company uses designated cash flow hedges and non-designated hedges in the form of foreign currency forward contracts as part of its strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and to mitigate the impact of foreign currency translation on transactions that are denominated primarily in Japanese Yen, British Pounds, Euros, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars and Korean Won. The Company also uses cross-currency debt swap contracts and interest rate hedge contracts to mitigate the impact of variable rates on its long-term debt as well as changes in foreign currencies.
The Company accounts for its foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency debt swap contracts and interest rate hedge contracts in accordance with ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, the measurement of those instruments at fair value and the recognition of changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change, unless the derivative qualifies as a designated cash flow hedge that offsets certain exposures. Certain criteria must be satisfied in order for derivative financial instruments to be classified and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of qualifying cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and released into earnings as a component of cost of goods sold or net revenues, other income (expense) and interest expense during the period in which the hedged transaction takes place. Remeasurement gains or losses of derivatives that are not elected for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in earnings immediately as a component of other income (expense).
Foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency debt swap contracts and interest rate hedge contracts are used only to meet the Company’s objectives of minimizing variability in the Company’s operating results arising from foreign exchange rate movements and changes in interest rates. The Company does not enter into foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency debt swap contracts and interest rate hedge contracts for speculative purposes. The Company utilizes counterparties for its derivative instruments that it believes are credit-worthy at the time the transactions are entered into and the Company closely monitors the credit ratings of these counterparties.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments as well as the location of the asset and/or liability on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

The Company's derivative instruments are subject to a master netting agreement with each respective counterparty bank and are therefore net settled at their maturity date. Although the Company has the legal right of offset under the master netting agreements, the Company has elected not to present these contracts on a net settlement amount basis, and therefore present these contracts on a gross basis on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Cash Flow Hedging Instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company uses foreign currency derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedging instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts to help mitigate the Company's foreign currency exposure on intercompany sales of inventory to its foreign subsidiaries. These contracts generally mature within 12 months to 15 months from their inception. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the notional amounts of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedge instruments were approximately $3,335,000 and $756,000, respectively.
    As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a net gain of $2,440,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency forward contracts. Of this amount, net gains of $1,700,000 were relieved from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in cost of goods sold for the underlying intercompany sales that were recognized, and net gains of $86,000 were relieved from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the amortization of forward points. There were no ineffective hedge gains or losses recognized during 2021. Based on the current valuation, the Company expects to reclassify net gains of $471,000 from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net earnings during the next 12 months.
In the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized net gains of $756,000 and $398,000, respectively, in cost of goods sold related to foreign currency forward contracts.
Interest Rate Hedge Contract and Cross-Currency Debt Swap
In order to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates associated with the Company's variable-rate Term Loan Facility and EUR denominated intercompany loan, the Company used a cross-currency debt swap and interest rate hedge, both designated as cash flow hedges (see Note 7) by converting a portion of the USD denominated Term Loan Facility, which has a higher variable interest rate, to a EUR denominated synthetic note at a lower fixed rate. During 2020, the Company unwound the cross-currency swap, and as of June 30, 2020 the Company determined that the forecasted transaction in connection with the underlying EUR denominated intercompany loan was no longer probable of occurring. As such, the Company discontinued the hedge and released net gains of $11,046,000 from accumulated other comprehensive income to other income (expense), net during 2020. The Company maintained the interest rate hedge related to the USD denominated Term Loan Facility in order to continue mitigating the risk of changes in interest rates. Over the life of the facility, the Company will receive variable interest payments from the counterparty lenders in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments, without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The notional amount outstanding under the interest rate hedge contract was $194,346,000 and $196,350,000 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 the Company recorded a net gain of $4,406,000, and net losses of $12,881,000 and $9,434,000, respectively, related to the remeasurement of the interest rate hedge contract in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Of this amount, net losses of $4,829,000, $3,852,000, and $552,000 were relieved from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in interest expense during December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Based on the current valuation, the Company expects to reclassify a net loss of $4,072,000 related to the interest rate hedge contract from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings during the next 12 months.
In connection with the cross-currency swap contract, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a remeasurement net gain of $15,081,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the year ended December 31, 2020, net gains of $18,510,000 were relieved from accumulated other comprehensive loss. The recognition of these net gains into earnings is summarized as follows:
•Net gains of $11,046,000 related to the discontinuation of the cross-currency swap contract were recognized in other income in 2020.
•Net gains of $5,735,000 related to foreign currency were recognized in other income in 2020.
•Net gains of $1,730,000 were recognized in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as qualifying cash flow hedging instruments to mitigate certain balance sheet exposures (payables and receivables denominated in foreign currencies), as well as gains and losses resulting from the translation of the operating results of the Company’s international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. These contracts generally mature within 12 months from their inception. At December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the notional amounts of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts used to mitigate the exposures discussed above were approximately $67,831,000, $81,627,000, and $72,119,000, respectively. The Company estimates the fair values of foreign currency forward contracts based on pricing models using current market rates, and records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The foreign currency contracts are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 19).
The following table summarizes the location of gains on the consolidated statements of operations that were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, in addition to the derivative contract type (in thousands):
