Annual Report
The net impact of the effective portion of gains and losses from our cash flow hedging activities in our
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was a loss of
$9 million, $4 million, and $4 million respectively. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and
2012, we reclassified an immaterial amount of the ineffective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in
fair value into interest and other income (expense), net.
Balance Sheet Hedging Activities
Our foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments are accounted for as
derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts are reported as other current assets or accrued and other
current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair
value are reported in interest and other income (expense), net, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The
gains and losses on these foreign currency forward contracts generally offset the gains and losses in the
underlying foreign-currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, which are also reported in interest and
other income (expense), net, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of our foreign currency
forward contracts was measured using Level 2 inputs.
Total gross notional amounts and fair values for currency derivatives that are not designated as hedging
instruments are accounted for as follows:
As of March 31, 2014 As of March 31, 2013
