In the normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk that could impact our financial position and results of operations. Current market events have not required us to materially modify our financial risk management strategies with respect to our exposures to foreign currency exchange risk or interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency

Transaction Risk

As we operate globally, we are exposed to the risk that our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During fiscal 2026, we maintained a series of foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of our projected operating expenses in these primary currency exposures, namely the British Pound Sterling, Euro, Indian Rupee and Philippine Peso. As of August 31, 2026, the hedge maturity periods of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts range from the first quarter of fiscal 2027 through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027. Based on the operating income for fiscal 2026, comparing the average foreign currency exchange rates for fiscal 2026 to the respective rates for fiscal 2025 and the impact of the change in hedge activity, resulted in a decrease in operating income of $2.1 million. We utilize cash flow hedges to manage risk and not for speculative or trading purposes.

We performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the effects on both the fair value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts and our operating income, excluding these forward contracts, of a hypothetical devaluation of the U.S. dollar by 10% as of August 31, 2026, relative to the other foreign currencies in which we transact. The sensitivity analysis indicated that a devaluation of the U.S. dollar by 10% would have increased the fair value of our outstanding forward contracts by approximately $19 million as of August 31, 2026 and decreased our operating income, excluding these forward contracts, by an estimated $51 million for fiscal 2026. This sensitivity analysis has inherent limitations as it disregards the possibility that rates of multiple foreign currencies will not always move in the same direction relative to the value of the U.S. dollar over time and does not account for our forward contracts that we utilize to mitigate fluctuations in exchange rates.

Translation Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risk due to the translation of our results from certain international operations into U.S. Dollars, as part of the consolidation process. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can create volatility in our results of operations and our financial condition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments

Interest Rate Risk

As of August 31, 2026, we had Cash and cash equivalents of $233.3 million and Investments of $32.0 million. Our cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds and our Investments consist of mutual funds. We are exposed to interest rate risk through fluctuations in interest rates on our money market funds and mutual funds. As we have a restrictive investment policy, our financial exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is expected to remain low. Refer to Part II, Item 8. Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our Cash and cash equivalents.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk for our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash held in financial institutions in the event of a default, to the extent that such amounts are in excess of applicable insurance limits; however, we do not believe our concentration of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash presents a significant credit risk as the counterparties to the instruments consist of multiple high-quality, credit-worthy financial institutions.

Debt

Interest Rate Risk

Our Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate and are not subject to interest rate change. As such, our interest rate exposure is limited to the outstanding balance of our floating rate debt under our 2025 Credit Facilities. As of August 31, 2026, this outstanding balance was $375.0 million, which bore interest at a rate equal to the applicable one-month Term SOFR plus a 0.875% interest rate margin, based on a debt leverage pricing grid. Assuming the principal balance of our outstanding floating rate debt remained at $375.0 million, a hypothetical 25 basis point change (up or down) in the one-month SOFR would result in an approximate $1 million change to our annual interest expense.

Refer to Part II, Item 8. Note 10, Debt in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our outstanding borrowings.
