Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. We are exposed to market risk

primarily from the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. These exposures are

managed and mitigated with the use of financial instruments, including derivatives contracts. We apply policies to manage these risks,

including prohibitions on speculative activities.

Foreign Exchange Risk. As a result of our global operations, we generate and incur a significant portion of our revenues and expenses in

currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Such principal currencies include the euro and British pound sterling. We are also exposed to the risk

of changes in foreign exchange rates due to our net investment in foreign operations. The effects from the foreign currency exchange rate

fluctuations on the translation of net amounts to the U.S. dollar, the reporting currency, are reflected in our equity position. See Note 2 in the

Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information regarding our net gains (losses) from foreign currency

transactions.

Foreign exchange rate risk is managed with a variety of techniques, including selective use of derivatives. It is our policy to minimize

currency exposures by conducting operations either within functional currencies or using the protection of hedging strategies. A 10%

increase in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar would have decreased our net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 by

approximately $0.1 billion. This analysis considered the net currency exposure of foreign currency denominated monetary items and

hedging instruments.

For instruments designated as cash flow hedges, a 10% decrease in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar would have decreased

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) for the year ended December 31, 2025 by approximately $0.1 billion.

Interest Rate Risk. We are subject to interest rate risks in the ordinary course of our business. The level of our interest rate risk is

dependent on our debt exposure and capital structure and is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. Historical

fluctuations in interest rates have not been significant for us; however, this may vary in the future as our capital structure changes.

Commodity Risk**.** Our operations require the use of various commodities. Fluctuations in the prices and availability of these commodities

can impact our cost of equipment sold and thus our profitability. To mitigate this risk, we have implemented various strategies, including

commercial actions, diversification of supplier base, and derivative instruments. We continuously monitor our exposure to commodity price

fluctuations and adjust our risk management strategies as necessary.

See Note 20 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information regarding our risk exposures, our

use of derivatives, and the effects of this activity on our consolidated and combined financial statements.
