Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK
We are exposed to market risk from changes in currency exchange rates, as well as interest rate fluctuations on our credit facility and investments that could impact our results of operations and financial position.
We transact sales in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, particularly the Euro, British pound and Canadian dollar. Approximately 6.6% of our sales in fiscal year 2021 were denominated in foreign currencies. We do not have expenses denominated in foreign currencies at the level of our sales and as a result, our profitability is exposed to currency fluctuations. When the U.S. Dollar strengthens, our sales and gross profit will be negatively impacted. In addition, we have assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies which are remeasured at each reporting period, with the offset to changes presented as a component of Other (Expense) Income. Significant non-functional balances include accounts receivable due from some of our international customers.
INTEREST RATE RISK
On June 3, 2019, we entered into the Credit Agreement which provides for a $125.0 million Revolving Facility. Interest on the facility will be based, at the Company’s option, on either a base rate of LIBOR or alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin tied to the Company’s total leverage ratio and having ranges between 0.25% and 0.75% for base rate loans and between 1.25% and 1.75% for LIBOR loans. In the event of default, the interest rate may be increased by 2.0%. As of May 31, 2021, there was $20.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Facility. The interest rate on the Revolving Facility at May 31, 2021 was 1.36%.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, our credit facility and trade accounts receivable.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at various institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standings of these financial institutions to ensure their credit worthiness. In addition, the Credit Agreement is structured across five investment grade banks. The Company has the ability to draw equally amongst the five banks which limits the concentration of credit risk of one institution.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of customers that purchase products from the Company. No single customer represents more than 10% of total sales. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its customers. As the Company’s standard payment terms are 30 to 90 days from invoicing, the Company does not provide any significant financing to its customers. Although the Company does not currently foresee a significant credit risk associated with the outstanding accounts receivable, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of our customers.
