Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

From time to time, we use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of our exposures to changes in currency exchange rates, which result from our global operating and financing activities. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. A hypothetical 10% change in currency exchange rates would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates affect the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate borrowings. As of November 2, 2025 and November 3, 2024, we had $67.1 billion and $56.3 billion in principal amount of fixed-rate borrowings outstanding, and the estimated aggregate fair value of these borrowings was $64.6 billion and $51.4 billion, respectively. As of November 2, 2025 and November 3, 2024, a hypothetical 50 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates would change the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings by approximately $1.9 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. However, this hypothetical change in interest rates would not impact the interest expense on our borrowings outstanding. To hedge variability of cash flows due to changes in the benchmark interest rate of anticipated future debt issuances, we have entered, and in the future may enter, into treasury rate lock contracts.
