Derivatives
We conduct business in numerous currencies throughout our worldwide operations and our entities hold monetary assets or liabilities, earn revenues and/or incur costs in currencies other than their functional currency. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange gains or losses which impact our operating results. As part of our foreign currency risk mitigation strategy, we have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts for up to six months in duration. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, nor do we hedge our foreign currency exposure in a manner that entirely offsets the effects of the changes in foreign exchange rates.
The notional amount of our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts in U.S. dollar equivalent was as follows:

The fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts is presented on a gross basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 29, 2018 and March 30, 2018, the fair value was insignificant. To mitigate losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties, we have entered into master netting arrangements with our counterparties that allow us to settle payments on a net basis. The effect of netting on our derivative assets and liabilities was not material as of June 29, 2018 and March 30, 2018.
Our foreign exchange forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. The related gain (loss) recognized in Other expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows:
