Derivative Financial Instruments NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s primary exchange rate risk management objective is to mitigate the uncertainty of anticipated cash flows attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company primarily focuses on mitigating changes in cash flows resulting from sales denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company manages this risk primarily by using currency forward and option contracts. If the anticipated transactions are deemed probable, the resulting relationships are formally designated as cash flow hedges. The Company accounts for these contracts as cash flow hedges and tests effectiveness by determining whether changes in the expected cash flow of the derivative offset, within a range, changes in the expected cash flow of the hedged item.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company held currency forward contracts to mitigate currency fluctuations related to the cash purchase price of Rhino-Rack totaling AUD 193,650 with a maturity date of July 1, 2021. These contracts are not designated as accounting hedges and the changes in fair value of the instruments are recognized in earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, losses of $(4,513) were recorded in other, net expense.

At June 30, 2021, the Company’s derivative contracts had remaining maturities of less than one year. The counterparties to these transactions had both long-term and short-term investment grade credit ratings. The maximum net exposure of the Company’s credit risk to the counterparties is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized loss of all contracts with that counterparty, which is $4,684 as of June 30, 2021. The Company’s exposure of counterparty credit risk is limited to the aggregate unrealized gain on all contracts. At June 30, 2021, there was no such exposure to the counterparties. The Company’s derivative counterparties have strong credit ratings and as a result, the Company does not require collateral to facilitate transactions.

The Company held the following contracts designated as hedging instruments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

For contracts that qualify as effective hedge instruments, the effective portion of gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of the instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to sales in the period the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Gains (losses) of $(422) and $294 were reclassified to sales during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $(743) and $582 were reclassified to sales during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
