Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting us, refer to the section under the heading “Part II. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” of our 2024 Annual Report. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the market risks described in our 2024 Annual Report, except for the impact of foreign exchange rates, as discussed below.
Foreign Currency Exchange Impacts. Our foreign currency exchange impacts on operating results are comprised of three components: 1) local currency revenues and expenses; 2) the impact of hedge contracts; and 3) intercompany and monetary balances for our subsidiaries that are denominated in a currency that is different from the functional currency used by each subsidiary.
Approximately 22% of our consolidated revenue was derived from products manufactured in the U.S. and sold internationally in local currencies for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar exchange rate relative to other currencies has a negative impact on our revenues derived in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and on profits of products manufactured in the U.S. and sold internationally, and a weakening of the U.S. dollar has the opposite effect. Similarly, to the extent that the U.S. dollar is stronger in current or future periods relative to the exchange rates in effect in the corresponding prior periods, our growth rate will be negatively affected. The impact of foreign currency denominated costs and expenses and foreign currency denominated supply contracts partially offsets this exposure. Additionally, our designated hedges of intercompany inventory purchases and sales help delay the impact of certain exchange rate fluctuations on non-U.S. dollar denominated revenues.
The following table presents the estimated foreign currency exchange impact on our revenues, operating profit, and diluted earnings per share for the current period compared to the respective prior-year period:

| Diluted earnings per share (decrease) - compared to prior period | $ | (0.04) | $ | — |
At our current foreign exchange rate assumptions, we anticipate year-over-year changes for the remainder of the year will decrease our revenues by approximately $26 million, and reduce operating profit and diluted earnings per share by approximately $6 million and $0.06 per share, respectively. These unfavorable currency impacts to our operating profit and diluted earnings per share include net year-over-year impacts of foreign currency hedging activity, which is expected to increase our total operating profit by approximately $6 million and $0.06 per share for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2025. These estimates assume that the value of the U.S. dollar will reflect the euro at $1.08, the British pound at $1.25, the Canadian dollar at $0.69, and the Australian dollar at $0.59; and the Japanese yen at ¥148, the Chinese renminbi at RMB 7.35, and the Brazilian real at R$6.18 relative to the U.S. dollar for the remainder of 2025. The actual impact of changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in which we transact may materially differ from our expectations.
Based on projected revenues and expenses for the remainder of 2025, excluding the impact of intercompany and trade balances denominated in currencies other than the functional subsidiary currencies, we project a 1% strengthening of the U.S. dollar would reduce revenue by approximately $11 million and operating income by approximately $4 million, net of hedge positions.
Interest Rate Risk. We entered into an interest rate swap to manage the effect of variable interest obligations on amounts borrowed under the terms of the Credit Facility. Beginning on March 31, 2023, the variable interest rate associated with $250.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility became effectively fixed at 3.9%, plus the applicable credit spread, through October 20, 2025. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2025, were $319.5 million. We have designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. For more information regarding our interest rate swap, refer to “Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 19. Hedging Instruments.”
Effects of Inflation. We expect to continue to face higher costs for labor, commodities, energy, and transportation, as well as increased prices from suppliers, due to inflationary pressures and changes in tariff and trade policies. We may not be able to offset these higher costs through productivity initiatives and price increases, which may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Any price increases we may impose may lead to declines in sales volume or loss of business, if competitors do not similarly adjust their prices, or customers refuse to purchase at the higher prices.
