English translation:are recorded as offsetting debit and credit entries on the profit and loss statement
Explanation:
under Earnings on Hedging Transactions


symmétrique refers to: Double Entry Bookkeeping..means:
a record of transactions that require entries in at least two accounts. Every transaction is reflected in offsetting debits and credits.


An accounting technique which records each transaction as both a credit and a debit. Credit entries represent the sources of financing, and the debit entries represent the uses of that financing. Since each credit has one or more corresponding debits (and vice versa), the system of double entry bookkeeping always leads to a set of balanced ledger credit and debit accounts. Selected entries from these ledger balances are then used to prepare the income statement.
