In January 2014, the Company entered into a series of monthly foreign currency forward contracts to purchase a notional amount of approximately $19 million of Mexican pesos during 2014. These contracts are intended to match amounts, payable in pesos, to be owed for certain forecasted inventory purchases from our lower-cost Mexican manufacturing facilities within our Cequent Americas reportable segment.
