Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Foreign Currency Exchange Risk As a result of our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks. We transact business in foreign currencies and, as a result, our income and financial condition are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of financial derivative instruments. Financial derivatives are used by Atmus expressly for hedging purposes and under no circumstances are they used for speculative purposes. Substantially all of Atmus’ derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements, which provide the option to settle certain contracts on a net basis when they settle on the same day with the same currency. In addition, these arrangements provide for a net settlement of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event that the arrangement is terminated due to the occurrence of default or a termination event. To minimize the income volatility resulting from the remeasurement of net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, Atmus enters into foreign currency forward contracts, which are considered economic hedges and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The objective is to offset the gain or loss from remeasurement with the gain or loss from the fair market valuation of the forward contract. The potential gain or loss in the fair value of our outstanding foreign currency contracts, assuming a hypothetical 10% fluctuation in the currencies of such contracts, would not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 . The sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates assumes the notional value to remain constant for the next 12 months. The analysis ignores the impact of foreign exchange movements on our competitive position and potential changes in sales levels. Any change in the 26 Table of Contents value of the contracts, real or hypothetical, would be significantly offset by an inverse change in the value of the underlying hedged items. Interest Rate Risk Our interest rate risk relates primarily to our $600.0 million term loan facility and our five-year $400.0 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under these facilities would bear interest at varying rates, depending on the type of loan and, in some cases, the rates of designated benchmarks and the applicable election made by us. Generally, U.S. dollar-denominated loans would bear interest at an adjusted term SOFR (which includes a 0.10 percent credit spread adjustment to SOFR) for the applicable interest period plus a rate ranging from 1.125 percent to 1.75 percent depending on our net leverage ratio. Based on our outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2024 , a 0.125% change in SOFR would have a $0.8 million annual impact on interest expense.
