Bloomin' Brands, Inc. 10-Q

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in commodity prices. We believe that there have been no material changes in our market risk since December 27, 2020, except as set forth below. See Part II, Item 7A., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2020 for further information regarding market risk. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk We are subject to foreign currency exchange risk for our restaurants operating in foreign countries. Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk is primarily related to fluctuations in the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar. Our operations in other markets consist of Company-owned restaurants on a smaller scale than Brazil. If foreign currency exchange rates depreciate in the countries in which we operate, we may experience declines in our operating results. For the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2021, a 10% change in average foreign currency rates against the U.S. dollar would have increased or decreased our Total revenues for our consolidated foreign entities by $8.8 million. The 10% change would not have had a material effect on Net income. Currently, we do not enter into currency forward exchange or option contracts to hedge foreign currency exposures.
