Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

All information in this section applies to both Host Inc. and Host L.P.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 80% of our outstanding debt bore interest at fixed rates. To manage interest rate risk applicable to our debt, we may enter into interest rate swaps or caps. The interest rate derivatives into which we may enter are strictly to hedge interest rate risk and are not for trading purposes. As of March 31, 2025, we do not have any interest rate derivatives outstanding.

See Item 7A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10–K.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

As we have operations outside of the United States (specifically, the ownership of hotels in Brazil and Canada and a minority investment in a joint venture in India), currency exchange risks arise in the normal course of our business. To manage the currency exchange risk, we may enter into forward or option contracts or hedge our investment through the issuance of foreign currency denominated debt. No foreign currency hedging transactions were entered into during the first quarter of 2025. We currently have two foreign currency forward purchase contracts with a total notional amount of CAD 99 million ($73 million), which will mature in August 2025. The foreign currency exchange agreements into which we have entered are strictly to hedge foreign currency risk and are not for trading purposes.
