Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, which primarily relate to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange.

Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk

As of December 31, 2022, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $1.08 billion. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations due to the short-term nature of our cash equivalents.

As of December 31, 2022, we had a debt balance of $3.25 billion. We have entered, and in the future may enter, into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk on a whole, or a portion, of our outstanding debt. In 2022, we entered into a receive-variable and pay-fixed interest rate swap that allows us to effectively mitigate the impact of an increase in interest rates on a notional amount of $1.8 billion of the outstanding debt balance as of December 31, 2022. With respect to our outstanding borrowings subject to variable interest rates at December 31, 2022, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rate would have increased the Company’s annual interest expense by approximately $15.1 million.

We cannot predict market fluctuations in interest rates and their impact on our debt, nor can there be any assurance that long-term fixed-rate debt will be available at favorable rates, if at all. Consequently, future results may differ materially from estimated results due to adverse changes in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Translation Exposure

We are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we translate the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the translating adjustments resulting from the conversion of our foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars would result in a gain or loss recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is part of stockholders’ equity (deficit).
