Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is also exposed to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. The Company maintains cash balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits, and in foreign subsidiary accounts in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $339 million out of $459 million and $275 million out of $325 million, respectively, of the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries. In addition, $285 million out of $459 million and $226 million out of $325 million of cash and cash equivalents were held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar at September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of September 27, 2025, the Company had no holdings in auction rate securities or commercial paper issued by structured investment vehicles.
Assuming a hypothetical adverse change of 10% in year-end exchange rates (a strengthening of the U.S. dollar), the fair market value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents held in currencies other than the U.S. dollar as of September 27, 2025 would decrease by approximately $29 million, of which the majority would be recorded to foreign currency translation in other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.
Assuming a hypothetical adverse change of 10% in year-end exchange rates (a strengthening of the U.S. dollar), the fair market value of the foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as of September 27, 2025 would increase pre-tax earnings by approximately $2 million. Assuming a hypothetical adverse change of 10% in year-end exchange rates (a strengthening of the U.S. dollar), the fair market value of the interest rate cross-currency swap agreements outstanding as of September 27, 2025 would increase by approximately $78 million and would be recorded to foreign currency translation in other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. The related impact on interest income would not have a material effect on pre-tax earnings.
There have been no other material changes in the Company’s market risk during the nine months ended September 27, 2025. For information regarding the Company’s market risk, refer to Item 7A of Part II of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025.
