Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The following discussion about these market risks includes forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed below.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. We maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types, and maturities. See Notes 6 and 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this report such investments. These investments are sensitive to interest rate movements, and their fair value will decline as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. The estimated impact on these investments of a 100 basis point (1.0%) increase in interest rates across the yield curve from rates in effect as of the balance sheet date would be a $1.6 million decline in value.

Absent hedging using floating-to-fixed rate interest rate swaps, our earnings and cash flows from operations could be impacted by changes in interest rates related to the floating rate of interest on our Refinanced 2030 Term Loan. We have entered into interest rate swaps that fix the floating rate for $350.0 million of our Refinanced 2030 Term Loan at 3.47% from January 2023 through January 2028 and another $350.0 million of our Refinanced 2030 Term Loan at 3.287% from September 2025 through December 2028. As a result, a 100 basis point (1.0%) increase in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate as of the balance sheet date would increase our annualized interest expense by approximately $4.5 million. See Notes 15 and 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this report for additional information.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. Our business and results of operations are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Some of our transactions are non-U.S. Dollar denominated, with the Euro, Indian Rupee, and Canadian Dollar being our most significant foreign currency revenue exposures. If the U.S. Dollar strengthens against these currencies, our revenue for these transactions reported in U.S. Dollars would decline. For our U.S. Dollar denominated transactions, an increase in the value of the U.S. Dollar would increase the price of our products to customers in markets outside the United States. During fiscal 2025, 9.9% of revenue was non-U.S. Dollar denominated. During fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024, the U.S. Dollar fluctuated against a number of foreign currencies with minimal impact as compared to fiscal 2024.

With regard to operating expenses, our primary exposure to foreign currency exchange rates relates to the Canadian Dollar, Indian Rupee and Euro. If these foreign currencies strengthen against the U.S. Dollar, costs reported in U.S. Dollars will increase. During fiscal 2025, 46.3% of our operating expense was non-U.S. Dollar denominated. During fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024, the U.S. Dollar fluctuated against a number of foreign currencies with minimal impact as compared to fiscal 2024.

We use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce variability in certain forecasted non-U.S. Dollar denominated cash flows. Generally, these derivatives have maturities of 24 months or less and are designated as cash flow hedges. We assess whether the forward contract has been effective in offsetting changes in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk during the hedging period. The derivative’s net gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and, upon the occurrence of the forecasted transaction, it is subsequently reclassified to the line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to which the hedged transaction relates.

During fiscal 2025, we recorded minimal foreign currency exchange losses as a result of monetary assets and liabilities that were transacted in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency, and the re-measurement adjustments were recorded in interest and other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We use foreign currency forwards to hedge these balance sheet exposures. These forwards are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and any net gain or loss associated with these derivatives is reported in interest and other income, net. During fiscal 2025, we recorded losses on non-hedge designated foreign currency forward contracts of $3.7 million. See Notes 1, 5 and 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this annual report.
