The Group reflects the gain or loss on the effective portion of a cash flow hedge as a component of other reserves and subsequently reclassifies cumulative gains and losses to revenues or cost of revenues, depending on the risk hedged, when the hedged transactions are recorded. If the hedged transactions become probable of not occurring, the corresponding amounts in other reserves would be immediately reclassified to finance costs. The Group evaluates hedge effectiveness at the inception of the hedge prospectively as well as retrospectively and records any ineffective portion of the hedge in finance costs in the consolidated statement of operations. Interest charges or “forward points” on the foreign exchange contracts are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are recorded in finance costs in the consolidated statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2017, no material amount of gains or losses were recognized in other comprehensive loss or the statement of operations.
