13. Stockholders' Equity
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity during a period that have yet to be recognized in income,
except those resulting from transactions with shareholders. The major components include unrealized gains and losses on investment
securities, gains or losses from cash flow hedging activities, foreign currency translation adjustments and defined benefit pension
plan liability adjustments.
Unrealized gains and losses on investment securities that are available for sale, primarily state and municipal debt securities,
are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" until the investment is either sold or deemed other-than-temporarily
impaired. See Note 7 for further discussion.
The effective portion of the change in fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in "Accumulated
other comprehensive loss." Generally, amounts are recognized in income when the related forecasted transaction affects earnings.
See Note 14 for further discussion.
The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the United States dollar are translated using
the appropriate exchange rate as of the end of the year. Foreign currency translation adjustments represent unrealized gains and
losses on assets and liabilities arising from the difference in the foreign country currency compared to the United States dollar.
These gains and losses are accumulated in comprehensive income. When a foreign subsidiary is substantially liquidated, the
cumulative translation gain or loss is removed from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" and is recognized as a component
of the gain or loss on the sale of the subsidiary.
The defined benefit pension plan liability adjustment is recognized for the difference between estimated assumptions (e.g.,
asset returns, discount rates, mortality) and actual results. The amount in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" is amortized
to income over the remaining life expectancy of the plan participants. Details of the pension plan's assets and obligations are
explained further in Note 11.
