The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, forward contracts and net-zero-cost collar arrangements (combination of call and put option contracts) to mitigate a portion of its exposures to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and precious metal prices.

Derivative Instruments Designated as Hedging Instruments. If a derivative instrument meets certain hedge accounting criteria, it is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at its fair value, as either an asset or a liability, with an offset to current or other comprehensive earnings, depending on whether the hedge is designated as one of the following on the date it is entered into:

•Fair Value Hedge – A hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment. For fair value hedge transactions, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and changes in the fair value of the item being hedged are recorded in current earnings.

•Cash Flow Hedge – A hedge of the exposure to variability in the cash flows of a recognized asset, liability or a forecasted transaction. For cash flow hedge transactions, the changes in fair value of derivatives is reported as other comprehensive income ("OCI") and is recognized in current earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects current earnings.

The Company formally documents the nature of and relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items for a derivative to qualify as a hedge at inception and throughout the hedged period. The Company also documents its risk management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions and method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Additionally, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the significant characteristics and expected terms of a forecasted transaction must be identified, and it must be probable that each forecasted transaction will occur. Derivative financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedge instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments. Derivative instruments which do not meet the criteria to be designated as a hedge are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair values, as either assets or liabilities, with an offset to current earnings.

Interest Rate Swaps – In 2012, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the impact of interest rate volatility on future interest payments associated with the anticipated incurrence of $250.0 million of debt which was incurred in July 2012. The Company accounted for the forward-starting interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The Company settled the interest rate swaps in 2012 and recorded a loss within accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of October 31, 2020, $15.3 million remains recorded as a loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is being amortized over the term of the 2042 Notes to which the interest rate swaps related.

In 2014, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the impact of interest rate volatility on future interest payments associated with the anticipated incurrence of long-term debt which was incurred in September 2014. The Company accounted for the forward-starting interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The Company settled the interest rate swaps in 2014 and recorded a loss within accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of October 31, 2020, $3.2 million remains recorded as a loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is being amortized over the terms of the respective 2024 Notes or 2044 Notes to which the interest rate swaps related.

Cross-currency Swaps – In 2016, 2017 and 2019 the Company entered into cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency exchange risk associated with Japanese yen-denominated and Euro-denominated intercompany loans. These cross-currency swaps are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges. As of October 31, 2020, the notional amounts of cross-currency swaps accounted for as cash flow hedges and the respective maturity dates were as follows:


Cross-Currency Swap		Notional Amount
Effective Date	Maturity Date	(in millions)		(in millions)

May 2017	April 2027	¥	5,634.5	$	50.0
August 2019	August 2026	€	21.1	$	23.6

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts – The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to offset a portion of the foreign currency exchange risks associated with foreign currency-denominated liabilities, intercompany transactions and forecasted purchases of merchandise between entities with differing functional currencies. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness based on the total changes in the foreign exchange forward contracts' cash flows. These foreign exchange forward contracts are designated and accounted for as either cash flow hedges or economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments.

As of October 31, 2020, the notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts were as follows:

Precious Metal Collars and Forward Contracts – The Company periodically hedges a portion of its forecasted purchases of precious metals for use in its internal manufacturing operations in order to manage the effect of volatility in precious metal prices. The Company may use either a combination of call and put option contracts in net-zero-cost collar arrangements ("precious metal collars") or forward contracts. For precious metal collars, if the price of the precious metal at the time of the expiration of the precious metal collar is within the call and put price, the precious metal collar expires at no cost to the Company. The Company accounts for its precious metal collars and forward contracts as cash flow hedges. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness based on the total changes in the precious metal collars and forward contracts' cash flows. As of October 31, 2020, the maximum term over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability of future cash flows for all forecasted precious metals transaction is 18 months. As of October 31, 2020, there were precious metal forward contracts outstanding for approximately 21,900 ounces of platinum, 358,000 ounces of silver and 67,400 ounces of gold.

As a result of increases in inventory resulting from decreased sales, as well as the full or partial temporary closure of certain of the Company's manufacturing facilities due to COVID-19 during the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company revised its projections for purchases of precious metals. Accordingly, certain hedged transactions that were previously considered to be probable were deemed improbable and the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for the related precious metal forward contracts and reclassified net deferred hedging gains of $4.2 million from Accumulated OCI to Cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings during the nine months ended October 31, 2020. As of October 31, 2020, there were no precious metal forward contracts outstanding for purchases not designated as hedging instruments.

The pre-tax losses on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 and were included in Other expense (income), net. Such gains or losses were not significant in the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019. The Company expects approximately $9.6 million of net pre-tax derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at October 31, 2020 will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. The actual amount reclassified will vary due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and precious metal prices.

A number of major international financial institutions are counterparties to the Company's derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instrument agreements only with counterparties meeting certain credit standards (an investment grade credit rating at the time of the agreement) and limits the amount of agreements or contracts it enters into with any one party. The Company may be exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by individual counterparties or the entire group of counterparties.
