Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have operations within the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks include primarily interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on our Amended Credit Facility, which accrues interest at a variable rate, and our short-term investments. No amount was owed on our Amended Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025. We have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Based upon the short-term investments amount as of December 31, 2025, a hypothetical one percentage point increase or decrease in the interest rate would result in a corresponding increase or decrease in investment income of approximately $6 million annually.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We have foreign currency exchange rate risk relating to transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, principally the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee, Indonesian Rupiah, Hong Kong Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, South Korean Won and Singapore Dollar. The volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy. As of December 31, 2025, an immediate 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on foreign-denominated accounts would result in a foreign currency loss of approximately $47 million. In the event our non-U.S. Dollar denominated sales and expenses increase, our operating results may be more greatly affected by exchange rate fluctuations.
We enter into forward contracts or other derivative transactions in an attempt to hedge our foreign currency risk. There can be no assurance that such transactions will be effective in hedging some or all of our foreign currency exposures, and under some circumstances they could generate losses for us.
