Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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 the nine months ended May 31, 2025, 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 May 31, 2025, the hedge maturity periods of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts range from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 through the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Based on the operating income for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2025, comparing the average foreign currency exchange rates for the th

ree and nine months ended May 31, 2025 to the rates for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024, net of hedge activity, resulted in an increase in operating income of $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. 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 May 31, 2025, 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 $18 million as of May 31, 2025 and decreased our operating income, excluding these forward contracts, by an estimated $34 million for nine months ended May 31, 2025. 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.

Refer to Note 5, Derivative Instruments in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for more information on our foreign currency exposures and our foreign currency forward contracts.

Foreign Currency 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.

The following table reflects the foreign currency translation adjustment gains and losses recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss):

Interest Rate Risk

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments

As of May 31, 2025, we had Cash and cash equivalents of $356.4 million and Investments of $7.7 million. Our Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments including demand deposits and money market funds and our Investments consist of mutual funds. We are exposed to interest rate risk through fluctuations of interest rates on these investments. As we have a restrictive investment policy, our financial exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is expected to remain low. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our Cash and cash equivalents.

Debt

As of May 31, 2025, our outstanding floating rate debt included $437.5 million under the 2025 Credit Agreement. As of May 31, 2025, the outstanding borrowings under the 2025 Credit Agreement bore interest at a rate equal to the applicable one-month Term SOFR plus a 0.975% spread (comprised of a 0.875% interest rate margin based on a debt leverage pricing grid plus a 0.1% credit spread adjustment).

To mitigate our exposure to interest rate volatility due to changes in SOFR, we entered into the 2025 Swap Agreement on April 24, 2025, to hedge a portion of our outstanding floating SOFR debt with a fixed interest rate of 4.086%. As of May 31, 2025, the 2025 Swap Agreement has a notional amount of $150.0 million and matures on February 28, 2026.

Our Senior Notes have a fixed interest rate and are not subject to interest rate change. As such, our interest rate exposure as of May 31, 2025 is limited to the outstanding principal balance of our floating rate debt under our 2025 Credit Facilities in excess of the 2025 Swap Agreement. As of May 31, 2025, our interest rate exposure equals the Term SOFR applied to $287.5 million, our outstanding debt, net of our 2025 Swap Agreement. Assuming the principal balance of our outstanding floating rate debt, net of the 2025 Swap Agreement, remained at $287.5 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 as of May 31, 2025.

Refer to Note 5, Derivative Instruments and Note 11, Debt in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our swap agreements and outstanding borrowings as of May 31, 2025, respectively.
