Item 3. 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 risks.
From time to time, we enter into pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swap agreements as part of our interest rate risk management strategy in connection with our $3.2 billion of outstanding indebtedness, which is subject to variable interest rates. Such agreements effectively fix the borrowing rates on a notional amount of $1.8 billion to provide an economic hedge against the risk of rising interest rates during the terms of these agreements. We do not designate the interest rate swaps as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and record unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value of such interest rate swaps through interest expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. However, such gains and losses would only be realized upon the cash settlement of the interest rate swaps. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our cash interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
There have been no other material changes to our market risk since December 31, 2022.
