Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
MARKET RISKS
The Company is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In the normal course of business, the Company uses a variety of techniques and derivative financial instruments as part of its overall risk management strategy, which is primarily focused on its exposure in relation to the Chinese Renminbi, Euro, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollar and Korean Won. No significant changes have occurred in the techniques and instruments used.
Interest Rate Risks
As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s total borrowings include variable rate borrowings, which expose the Company to changes in interest rates. On November 24, 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract to limit the exposure of its variable interest rate debt by effectively converting it to fixed interest rate debt. On March 20, 2023, the Company amended the swap contract. If the Company had not effectively hedged its variable rate debt, a change in the interest rate of 100 basis points on these variable rate borrowings would have resulted in additional interest expense of $12 million and $36 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.
On February 23, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate cap (the "Cap"), with an effective date of July 1, 2023. On March 20, 2023, the Company amended the swap contract. As the Cap is not effective until July 2023, there is no impact on variable rate borrowings from the Cap for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023.
Part II – Other Information
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and its subsidiaries are involved from time to time in various claims, lawsuits, and regulatory proceedings incidental to its business. The resolution of each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company. Management believes, after consulting with legal counsel, that the ultimate liabilities, if any, resulting from these legal and regulatory proceedings will not materially affect the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
