Currency Translation

Currency Translation

Financial statements of operating subsidiaries outside the U.S. generally are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Adjustments to translate those statements into U.S. dollars are recorded in Other comprehensive income (OCI). For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. Re- measurement adjustments for financial statements in highly inflationary economies and other transactional exchange gains and losses are reflected in earnings.
