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.

All of the Company's outstanding derivative financial instruments are foreign exchange forward contracts. Although derivatives meet the criteria for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedging relationship, a limited number of derivative contracts intended to hedge assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

The notional amount of all outstanding derivative contracts was $326.7 million at June 2019, consisting primarily of contracts hedging exposures to the Mexican peso, euro, Canadian dollar, British pound, Swedish krona and Polish zloty. Derivative contracts have maturities up to 20 months.

The following table presents outstanding derivatives on an individual contract basis:



	Fair Value of Derivatives with Unrealized Gains			Fair Value of Derivatives with Unrealized Losses

(in thousands)		June 2019			June 2019
Foreign currency exchange contracts designated as hedging instruments		$	852		$	(3,916	)
Foreign currency exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments		3			(56		)
Total derivatives		$	855		$	(3,972	)

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 they are subject to master netting agreements. If the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of its foreign exchange forward 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 as detailed in the following table:



	June 2019

(in thousands)	Derivative Asset			Derivative Liability
Gross amounts presented in the balance sheet	$	855		$	(3,972	)
Gross amounts not offset in the balance sheet	(5		)	5
Net amounts	$	850		$	(3,967	)

Derivatives are classified as current or noncurrent based on maturity dates, as follows:



(in thousands)	June 2019
Other current assets	$	741
Accrued liabilities	(3,263		)
Other assets	114
Other liabilities	(709		)

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

The Company uses derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange risk on third-party 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.

Following is a summary of these derivatives included in the Company's statements of income:



(in thousands)	Location of Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income	Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income Three Months Ended June				Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income Six Months Ended June

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges			2019				2019
Foreign currency exchange	Cost of goods sold		$	(57	)		$	(57	)

Other Derivative Information

There were no significant amounts recognized in earnings for the ineffective portion of any hedging relationships during the three or six months ended June 2019.

In connection with the Separation, VF transferred $11.6 million of unrecognized gains on foreign currency exchange contracts related to the Jeanswear business. These gains were deferred in accumulated OCI and are being reclassified to earnings as the Company recognizes the underlying transactions in revenue.

At June 2019, accumulated OCI included $8.4 million of pre-tax net deferred gains for foreign currency exchange contracts that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next 12 months. The amounts ultimately reclassified to earnings will depend on exchange rates in effect when outstanding derivative contracts are settled.
