Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risks

In the ordinary course of business, the financial position of the Company is routinely subject to certain market risks, notably the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities. As a result, the Company does not anticipate any material losses from these risks. The Company was not a party to any derivative financial instrument as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2020, $149.8 million, or 8%, of the Company’s total outstanding debt balance of $1,787.5 million is based on floating interest rates. Our $149.8 million in variable rate debt at June 30, 2020 consists of our revolving credit facility, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 101.5 basis points on borrowed amounts, plus an additional annual facility fee equal to 11.0 basis points on the entire facility. We have assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our earnings of a change in market interest rates on amounts borrowed from the revolving credit facility during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one hundred basis points in interest rates on our variable rate debt during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, our pre-tax earnings would have decreased by approximately $5.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020; however, this would have been offset by interest earned on cash balances.

Foreign Currency Risk

While the substantial majority of our business is conducted within the U.S., approximately 12% of our fiscal year 2020 revenues were earned outside of the U.S. and approximately 23% of our total consolidated assets as of June 30, 2020 resided in our foreign subsidiaries. Our revenue generating operations outside of the U.S. primarily reside in Canada and the United Kingdom. As a result, we have a certain degree of foreign currency exposure to exchange rate fluctuations associated with our non-U.S. revenue generating operations, primarily with respect to the Canadian dollar and the British pound.

We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate. We do not hedge our operating results against currency movement as they are primarily translational in nature. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar and British pound versus the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a decrease in our total pre-tax earnings of approximately $13.1 million. A hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar and British pound versus the U.S. dollar at June 30, 2020 would have resulted in a decrease to our total assets of approximately $84.3 million.
