Derivative Instruments
 
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its overall strategy to manage its exposure to market risks primarily associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. As a matter of policy, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recorded at fair value either as assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and of derivatives designated as fair value hedging instruments are recognized currently in earnings and included either as a component of other revenues or interest expense, based upon the nature of the hedged item, in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income.

Certain derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risks of the Company prior to the Separation were entered into on behalf of the Company by Cendant. The fair value of the instruments was recorded on Cendant’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and passed to the Company through the related party accounts, which are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within the due from former Parent and subsidiaries line item. The derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedging instruments by Cendant did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment on the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements as the derivative remained on Cendant’s balance sheet and the underlying debt instrument resides on the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. Therefore, any changes in fair value of these instruments were recognized in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income.
