Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes to our market risk during the three months ended September 30, 2022. See Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 1, 2022 for further information about our exposure to market risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

Due to macroeconomic changes and volatility experienced in the foreign exchange market recently, we believe sensitivity analysis is more informative in representing the potential impact to the portfolio as a result of market movement. Therefore, we have performed sensitivity analyses as of September 30, 2022 and July 1, 2022 using a modeling technique that measures the change in the fair values arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the levels of foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, with all other variables held constant. The analyses cover all of our foreign currency derivative contracts used to offset the underlying exposures. The foreign currency exchange rates used in performing the sensitivity analyses were based on market rates in effect at September 30, 2022 and July 1, 2022. The sensitivity analyses indicated that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar would result in a foreign exchange fair value loss of $303 million and $306 million at September 30, 2022 and July 1, 2022, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

We have generally held a balance of fixed and variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2022, our only variable rate debt outstanding was our Term Loan A-2, which bears interest, at the Company’s option, at a per annum rate equal to either (x) the Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus an applicable margin varying from 1.125% to 2.000% or (y) a base rate plus an applicable margin varying from 0.125% to 1.000%, in each case depending on the corporate family ratings of the Company from at least two of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings, Inc., with an initial interest rate of Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.375%.

As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance on our Term Loan A-2 was $2.7 billion and a one percent increase in the variable rate of interest would increase annual interest expense by $27 million. We currently have pay-fixed interest rate swaps of $2 billion notional amount that would mitigate the impact of fluctuations in variable interest rates through February 2023.
