Income taxes are not provided for foreign translation relating to permanent investments in international subsidiaries, but tax effects within cumulative translation do include impacts from items such as net investment hedge transactions. The Company uses the portfolio approach for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income.
Additional details on the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into consolidated income include:
•Cumulative translation adjustment: amounts were reclassified into selling, general and administrative expense. These were associated with certain country exits in 2024 and 2023.
•Defined benefit pension and postretirement plan adjustments: amounts were reclassified into other (expense) income, net (see Note 13).
•Cash flow hedging instruments, realized gain (loss): amounts from foreign currency forward/option contacts were reclassified into cost of sales, while amounts from interest rate contracts were reclassified into interest expense (see Note 15).
•The tax effects, if applicable, associated with these reclassifications were reflected in provision for income taxes.
