mark to market financial
"Mark to Market of Outstanding Contracts | 1,582,051"
Mark to market is an accounting practice that records the value of an asset or liability at its current market price instead of its original purchase cost. For investors, it means a company's reported earnings, balance sheet and capital ratios change as market prices move—like updating a price tag each day—so reported profits and risk can fluctuate quickly with market swings.
Outstanding Notional Amount financial
"Existing Contracts | Outstanding Notional Amount | 192,798,341"
hedge accounting financial
"Derivatives applying hedge accounting. ‧TSMC Global"
Hedge accounting is a way companies record the gains and losses from risk-management tools (like contracts that lock prices or rates) so those results line up with the items they protect. Think of it like matching the cost of an insurance policy to the value of the thing insured, which prevents artificial swings in reported profit. For investors, hedge accounting makes a company’s financial results clearer by showing the economic effect of risk management instead of noisy timing differences.
