Derivative Instruments

We generally use forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to hedge economically the impact of the variability in exchange rates on intercompany accounts receivable and loans receivable denominated in certain foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge the net assets of our international subsidiaries.

All forward contracts are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets at the end of each reporting period and expire between 30 days and one year from the date the contract was entered. At February 28, 2019, $0.3 million was recorded in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At November 30, 2018, $0.3 million and $0.1 million was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities and other current assets, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018, realized and unrealized gains of $0.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively, from our forward contracts were recognized in foreign currency loss, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The gains were substantially offset by realized and unrealized losses on the offsetting positions.
