Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and marketable equity security prices. To mitigate these risks, we utilize derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency hedges. All of the potential changes noted below are based on sensitivity analyses performed on our financial position as of June 30, 2025. Actual results may differ materially.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2025, we had an investment portfolio of fixed income securities of $2.05 billion. These securities, as with all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if market interest rates increase. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 100 bps from levels as of June 30, 2025, the fair value of the portfolio would have declined by $21.5 million.

The fair market value of our long-term fixed interest rate Senior Notes is subject to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate notes will increase as market interest rates fall and decrease as market interest rates rise. As of June 30, 2025, our fixed rate Senior Notes had a fair value and book value of $5.54 billion and $5.88 billion, respectively, due in various fiscal years ranging from 2029 to 2063.

On July 3, 2025, we replaced our Prior Revolving Credit Facility with a new Revolving Credit Facility that allows us to borrow up to $1.50 billion, has a maturity date of July 3, 2030 with two one-year extension options, and may be increased by an amount up to $500.0 million in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Prior Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement, we were also obligated to pay an annual commitment fee on the daily undrawn balance of the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate that ranges from 4.5 bps to 12.5 bps, depending upon our then prevailing credit rating. As of June 30, 2025, the annual commitment fee was 5.5 bps. Any increase in our commitment fee under our Credit Agreement due to changes in credit ratings would have no material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

Marketable Equity Security Risk

Our equity investment in a publicly traded company is subject to market price risk, which we typically do not attempt to reduce or eliminate through hedging activities. As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of our investment in the marketable equity security, which began publicly trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on April 5, 2021, was $24.0 million. Assuming a decline of 50% in market prices, the aggregate value of our investment in the marketable equity security could decrease by approximately $12 million, based on the value as of June 30, 2025.

See Note 5 “Marketable Securities” to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8; “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II Item 7; and “Risk Factors” in Part I Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of recent market events that may affect the value of the investments in our portfolio that we held as of June 30, 2025.

Foreign Currency Risk

As of June 30, 2025, we had net forward and option contracts to purchase $50.9 million in foreign currency in order to hedge certain currency exposures (see Note 17 “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details). If we had entered into these contracts on June 30, 2025, the U.S. dollar equivalent would have been $81.8 million. A 10% adverse move in all currency exchange rates affecting the contracts would decrease the fair value of the contracts by $153.4 million. However, if this occurred, the fair value of the underlying exposures hedged by the contracts would increase by a similar amount. Accordingly, we believe that, as a result of the hedging of certain of our foreign currency exposure, changes in most relevant foreign currency exchange rates should have no material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
