Risk Management

  1. Risk Management

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $1.3 billion and $1.0 billion for the periods ended June 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company does not believe these financial instruments should subject it to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions.

The following table shows thefive largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of June 28, 2025, and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2024:

Notional Amount

British pound$212$124
Euro167150
Australian dollar(145)(136)
Canadian dollar9370
Chinese renminbi(45)(48)

Counterparty Risk

The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. As of June 28, 2025, all of the counterparties had investment grade credit ratings. As of June 28, 2025, the Company had $10 million of exposure to aggregate credit risk with all counterparties.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses foreign exchange forward and option contracts to hedge against the effect of the British pound and the Euro exchange rate fluctuations against the U.S. dollar on a portion of its net investments in certain European operations. The Company recognizes changes in the fair value of the net investment hedges as a component of Foreign currency translation adjustments within Other comprehensive income to offset a portion of the change in translated value of the net investments being hedged, until the investments are sold or liquidated. As of June 28, 2025, the Company had €160 million of net investment hedges in certain Euro functional subsidiaries and £50 million of net investment hedges in a British pound functional subsidiary.

The Company excludes the difference between the spot rate and the forward rate of the forward contracts and initial time value of the options from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. The effect of the forward points recognized in forward contracts and the initial time value of the option contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis and recognized through interest expense within Other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Equity Swap Contracts

The Company uses equity swap contracts which serve as economic hedges against volatility within the equity markets, impacting the Company's deferred compensation plan obligations. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The notional amount of these contracts as of June 28, 2025 was $20 million.

Treasury Rate Lock

In 2023, the Company entered into treasury rate agreements which locked in the interest rate for $200 million in future debt issuances. The treasury rate lock agreements were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. During the six months ended June 29, 2024, the Company issued $900 million of 5.4% senior notes due 2034 (the "2034 notes"). The treasury rate lock agreements were terminated upon the issuance of the 2034 notes for a net settlement loss of $8 million. The accumulated loss recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to interest expense on a straight-line basis over theten year term of the 2034 notes.
