The cross-currency swaps were designated as net investment hedges, with the amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments included within Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized upon termination of the respective investment.

The amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments is deferred in Accumulated other

comprehensive loss and recognized in Cost of sales in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
