Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We provide information, analytics, and online marketplace services to real estate and related business communities within the regions where we operate, which primarily include, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. The functional currency for a majority of our operations is the local currency, with the exception of certain international locations for which the functional currency is the British Pound or U.S. dollar.

Fluctuations in the British Pound, Canadian Dollar and Euro may have an impact on our business, results of operations and financial position. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately 5% of our revenues were denominated in foreign currencies. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our revenues would have decreased by approximately $4 million, if the U.S. dollar exchange rate used strengthened by 10%. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our revenues would have increased by approximately $4 million, if the U.S. dollar exchange rate used weakened by 10%. In addition, we have assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We currently do not use financial instruments to hedge our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations with respect to our foreign subsidiaries. We may seek to enter into hedging transactions in the future to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, but we may be unable to enter into hedging transactions successfully, on acceptable terms or at all. As of March 31, 2025, accumulated other comprehensive loss included a loss from foreign currency translation adjustments of approximately $17 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we invested $452 million AUD ($285 million) to acquire approximately 17% of Domain’s ordinary shares, which is reported as an equity investment on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our investment in Domain is subject to market price volatility. A 10% increase or decrease in the price of Domain’s ordinary shares during the three months ended March 31, 2025 would have increased or decreased the value of our equity investment by $28 million. Our investment in Domain is also subject to foreign currency translation risk based on the US Dollar to Australian Dollar exchange rate, because the market price of Domain’s ordinary shares is denominated in Australian Dollars. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the value of our investment would have increased by approximately $28 million, if the U.S. dollar exchange rate used weakened by 10% and the value of our equity investment would have decreased by approximately $28 million, if the U.S. dollar exchange rate used strengthened by 10%. The investment in Domain’s ordinary shares is included in the Equity investment caption on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is measured at fair value with changes in fair value (due to share price and/or foreign exchange rates) recorded through other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Part 1, Item 2 and “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A for additional discussion regarding the Domain Transaction.

We do not believe we have material exposure to market risks associated with changes in interest rates related to cash equivalent securities held as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, we had $3.8 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. If there is an increase or decrease in interest rates, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. We currently diversify our cash and cash equivalents holdings amongst multiple financial institutions and AAA-rated Government and Treasury Money Market Funds.

We are subject to interest rate market risk in connection with our revolving credit facility. On May 20, 2024, we entered into the 2024 Credit Agreement, which provides for variable rate borrowings of up to $1.1 billion. On July 1, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. Changes in interest rates would not have a material impact to our current interest and debt financing expense, as all of our borrowings except for our credit facility are fixed rate, and no amounts were outstanding under our credit facility as of March 31, 2025. See Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Report for additional information regarding our 2024 Credit Agreement.

We had approximately $4.6 billion of goodwill and intangible assets as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, we believe our intangible assets will be recoverable; however, changes in the economy, the industry in which we operate, and our own relative performance could change the assumptions used to evaluate intangible asset recoverability. In the event that we determine that an asset has been impaired, we would recognize an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the asset. We continue to monitor these assumptions and their effect on the estimated recoverability of our intangible assets.
