DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
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 $258.6 million at September 2020, $341.6 million at December 2019 and $320.5 million at September 2019, consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the euro, Mexican peso, 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 $400.0 million at September 2020 and $475.0 million at both December 2019 and September 2019. Because these interest rate swap agreements meet the criteria for hedge accounting, all related gains and losses are deferred within accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") 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. At each reporting period, the Company assesses whether the hedging relationships continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. If it was determined that the hedging relationship ceased to be highly effective, the Company would discontinue hedge accounting. All designated hedging relationships were determined to be highly effective as of September 2020.

The Company records and presents the fair value of all 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.
The following table presents a reconciliation of gross to net amounts for derivative asset and liability balances:

During the three months ended March 2020, the Company determined that, due to a reduction in forecasted sales, it was probable that forecasted transactions of certain foreign currency cash flow hedges would no longer occur as originally expected. Accordingly, $0.4 million of gains related to the ineffective portion of these contracts were reclassified from AOCL into earnings during the three months ended March 2020 and the nine months ended September 2020.
Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
The Company uses derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on certain 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.
The following table presents a summary of these derivatives included in the Company's statements of operations:

Other Derivative Information
At September 2020, AOCL included $10.7 million of pre-tax net deferred losses for foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 fiscal months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to earnings will depend on rates in effect when outstanding derivative contracts are settled.
