Summary of Derivative Financial Instruments
On April 24, 2019, the Company began entering into derivative contracts with external counterparties to hedge certain foreign currency transactions. The notional amount of all outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was $320.5 million at September 2019, consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the Mexican peso, euro, Canadian dollar, British pound, Polish zloty and Swedish krona. Foreign currency exchange contracts have maturities up to 20 months.
On July 24, 2019, the Company entered into "floating to fixed" derivative agreements to mitigate exposure to volatility in LIBOR rates on the Company's future interest payments. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements was $475.0 million at September 2019. Because these interest rate swap agreements meet the criteria for hedge accounting, all related gains and losses are accumulated within OCL and are being amortized through April 18, 2024.
The Company's outstanding derivative financial instruments met the criteria for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedging relationship, although a limited number of foreign currency exchange contracts intended to hedge assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

The Company records and presents the fair value of all of its derivative assets and liabilities in the Company's balance sheets on a gross basis, even though certain of the derivative contracts are subject to master netting agreements. If the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of its derivative contracts on a net basis in accordance with the terms of its master netting agreements, the amounts presented in the Company's balance sheets would be adjusted from the current gross presentation to the net amounts.

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses foreign currency exchange contracts primarily to hedge a portion of the exchange risk for its forecasted sales, purchases, intercompany service fees and royalties. The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to partially hedge the interest rate risk associated with the volatility of monthly LIBOR rate movements.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
The Company uses derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on third-party accounts receivable and accounts payable. These contracts are not designated as hedges and are recorded at fair value in the Company's balance sheets. Changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized directly in earnings. Gains or losses on these contracts largely offset the net transaction gains or losses on the related assets and liabilities.

Other Derivative Information
There were no significant amounts recognized in earnings for the ineffective portion of any hedging relationships during the three or nine months ended September 2019.
In connection with the Separation, VF transferred to the Company $11.6 million of unrecognized gains on foreign currency exchange contracts related to the Jeanswear business. These gains were deferred in accumulated OCL and are being reclassified to earnings as the Company recognizes the underlying transactions in revenue.
At September 2019, accumulated OCL included $8.1 million of pre-tax net deferred gains for foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to earnings will depend on rates in effect when outstanding derivative contracts are settled.
