In 2013, 2012 and 2011, net losses on cash flow hedging activities reclassified to earnings, net of tax, included losses of $168, $90 and $100, respectively, as a result of hedge ineffectiveness.
At December 29, 2013, the Company had remaining net deferred losses on hedging instruments, net of tax, of $7,313 in AOCE. These instruments hedge payments related to inventory purchased in the fourth quarter of 2013 or forecasted to be purchased during 2014 and 2015, intercompany expenses expected to be paid or received during 2014 and 2015, cash receipts for sales made at the end of 2013 or forecasted to be made in 2014 and interest expenses expected to be paid on an expected issuance of long-term debt in 2014. These amounts will be reclassified into the consolidated statements of operations upon the sale of the related inventory or recognition of the related sales, royalties or expenses. Of the net deferred losses included in AOCE at December 29, 2013, the Company expects approximately $6,500 to be reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations within the next 12 months. However, the amount ultimately realized in earnings is dependent on the fair value of the hedging instruments on the settlement dates.
