Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2023, our current and long-term debt totaled $6.05 billion. We have no interest rate exposure to rate changes on our fixed rate debt, which totaled $5.32 billion as of June 30, 2023. We have interest rate exposure with respect to the $725.0 million of our variable interest rate debt outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2023. A 50-basis point increase in interest rates would increase our expected annual interest expense for the next 12 months by approximately $3.6 million. We intend to finance the repayment of a portion of our fixed rate debt maturing within the next 12 months using available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, new fixed rate notes, term loans, commercial paper or other instruments at which point, changes in interest rates will have a more significant impact on our interest expense if we refinance such fixed rate debt with variable rate debt. For additional information, refer to "Note 5. Debt" for a summary of our debt obligations by maturity date.

Inflation Risk

Inflation has not had a material adverse impact on our operating results in recent periods. However, if our costs were to continue to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to continue to offset such higher costs through price increases which could adversely impact our operating results.
