DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Summary of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into derivative contracts with external counterparties to hedge certain foreign currency transactions. The notional amount of all outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was $304.3 million at March 2021, $295.0 million at December 2020 and $318.0 million at March 2020, consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the euro, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, British pound, Polish zloty, Swedish krona, and Indian rupee. Foreign currency exchange contracts have maturities up to 20 months.
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 $350.0 million at March 2021 and $400.0 million at both December 2020 and March 2020. 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. 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 the Company determines that the hedging relationship has ceased to be highly effective, it would discontinue hedge accounting. All designated hedging relationships were determined to be highly effective as of March 2021. 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 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:

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
Contracts that are not designated as hedges and are recorded at fair value in the Company's balance sheets primarily relate to derivatives contracts used by the Company to manage foreign currency exchange risk on certain accounts receivable and accounts payable. Gains or losses on the balance sheet contracts largely offset the net transaction gains or losses on the related assets and liabilities. In addition, a limited number of cash flow hedges are deemed ineffective and de-designated. Changes in the fair values of derivative contracts not designated as hedges are recognized directly in earnings.
The following table presents a summary of these derivatives included in the Company's statements of operations:
(In thousands) Location of Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges March 2021 March 2020
Foreign currency exchange contracts Net revenues $ (81) $ 4 
Cost of goods sold (123) (3,672)
Other expense, net 209  23 
Total $ 5  $ (3,645)
Other Derivative Information
There were no significant amounts recognized in earnings for any hedging relationships deemed ineffective during the three months ended March 2021 and March 2020.
At March 2021, AOCL included $5.1 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.
