For the foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the ineffective portions of the hedging relationship, and the amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness were immaterial.
As of September 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the notional value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $143 million and $141 million, respectively. All the contracts mature within 12 months, and upon maturity the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are expected to be reclassified into earnings. The Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a maximum of 12 months. As of September 29, 2012, the Company’s outstanding contracts were in a $3 million net gain position. The Company is required to post collateral should the derivative contracts be in a net loss position exceeding certain thresholds. As of September 29, 2012, the Company was not required to post any collateral.
