NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company holds derivative instruments for the purpose of minimizing exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to which the Company is exposed in the normal course of its operations.
From time to time, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effects of fluctuations in exchange rates on outstanding intercompany loans. The Company does not formally designate and document such derivative instruments as hedging instruments; however, the instruments are an effective economic hedge of the underlying foreign currency exposure. Both the gain or loss on the derivative instrument and the offsetting gain or loss on the underlying intercompany loan are recognized in earnings immediately, thereby eliminating or reducing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on net income. The Company's foreign currency forward contracts generally have one-month to three-month maturities. The notional value of outstanding foreign currency contracts was $34.4 million and $29.6 million as of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively.
As of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, the fair value of the Company's outstanding derivative instruments was not material. Derivative instruments recognized as assets are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and derivative instruments recognized as liabilities are recorded in Accrued expenses and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table sets forth the gains and losses recognized in income from the Company’s derivative instruments for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025. Gains and losses are recognized in Interest and other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:
