Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We may use derivatives to partially offset our business exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risk on expected future cash flows and certain existing assets and liabilities. We do not use any of our derivative instruments for trading purposes.
We enter into master netting arrangements to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. We do not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. We also enter into collateral security agreements with certain of our counterparties to exchange cash collateral when the net fair value of certain derivative instruments fluctuates from contractually established thresholds. Collateral posted is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and collateral received is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Cash Flow Hedges
In countries outside the United States, we transact business in U.S. Dollars and in various other currencies. We may use foreign exchange forward contracts and option contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated revenue and expenses. These foreign exchange contracts, carried at fair value, have maturities of up to 24 months. As of February 27, 2026 and November 28, 2025, gross notional amounts of outstanding cash flow hedges were $6.12 billion and $5.97 billion, respectively, hedging exposures denominated in Euros, Japanese Yen, British Pounds, Australian Dollars, Indian Rupees and Canadian Dollars.
As of February 27, 2026, we had net derivative losses on our foreign currency cash flow hedges expected to be recognized within the next 36 months, of which $93 million of net losses are expected to be recognized into revenue within the next 12 months.
Fair Value Hedges
We have entered into interest rate swaps related to certain of our senior notes. The interest rate swaps effectively convert the fixed interest rates on the notes to floating interest rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate Overnight Index Swap Rate (“SOFR OIS”). Under the terms of the swaps, we pay quarterly interest at the daily compounded SOFR OIS plus a fixed number of basis points on the $2.70 billion notional amount through the respective par call dates for the notes. In exchange, we receive the fixed rate interest on the notes from the swap counterparties on a semi-annual basis. See Note 13 for further details regarding our debt.
The interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges. We record changes in fair value on the swaps associated with the hedged risk in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income with a corresponding offset to the value of the senior notes being hedged.
Non-Designated Hedges
Our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts that we primarily use to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. As of February 27, 2026, gross notional amounts of outstanding contracts were $734 million, primarily hedging exposures denominated in Euros, Indian Rupees, British Pounds and Australian Dollars. As of November 28, 2025, gross notional amounts of outstanding contracts were $563 million, primarily hedging exposures denominated in Indian Rupees, Australian Dollars, British Pounds and Euros.
Fair value asset derivatives are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets for the current portion and other assets for the long-term portion, and fair value liability derivatives are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities for the current portion and other liabilities for the long-term portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of derivative instruments as of February 27, 2026 and November 28, 2025 were as follows:
