Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates as well as inflationary factors.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited principally to the Euro, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar, British Pound, Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi, Swedish Krona, Japanese Yen and Brazilian Real. The Company manages its foreign exchange risk principally through invoicing customers in the same currency as the source of products. The foreign currency transaction (gains) losses for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $(1.0) million, $7.3 million and
$(0.8) million, respectively, and are reported within Other (income) expense – net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Interest Rate Fluctuations
The Company has interest rate exposure due to $269.8 million of the $1,971.3 million debt outstanding at December 31, 2024 bearing floating rate debt. The Company’s Revolving Facility bears interest at either an alternate base rate or adjusted Term SOFR (or appropriate alternative currency reference rates) plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on the lower of the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating or the Company’s applicable leverage ratio. At December 31, 2024, there was $269.8 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility with an interest rate of 3.84%.
Inflation Risk
We source a wide variety of materials and components from a network of global suppliers. While materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, they are subject to price fluctuations, including the impact of new or increased tariffs on imports, which could have a negative impact on our results. We seek to minimize the effects of inflation and changing prices through price increases to maintain reasonable gross margins.
