Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate sensitivities.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , the outstanding amounts related to our 2020 Credit Facility incur interest fees at variable interest rates and are affected by changes in the general level of market interest rates. However, there was zero outstanding balance on the 2020 Credit Facility as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We transact business globally in multiple currencies and hence have foreign currency risks related to our net sales, cost of goods sold and operating expenses. We use derivative financial instruments to reduce our net exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. Our objective in managing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce the volatility caused by foreign exchange rate changes on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of our international operations. We generally target to hedge a majority of our forecasted yearly foreign currency exchange exposure through a 24-month rolling layered approach and leave a portion of our currency forecast floating at spot rate. Our currency forecast and hedge positions are reviewed quarterly. The gains and losses on the forward contracts associated with our balance sheet positions are recorded in ‘‘Other income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The total notional values of our forward exchange contracts were $105.0 million and $121.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The derivatives on the forward exchange contracts resulted in an unrealized loss of $(2.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and we estimate that a 10% strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar would have resulted in an approximately $4.1 million gain or loss.
A portion of our cash and cash equivalents are denominated in foreign currencies. As of March 31, 2024, a 1% change in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies would have caused our cash and cash equivalents to decrease or increase by $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2023, a 1% change in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies would have caused our cash and cash equivalents to decrease or increase by $0.1 million.
Inflation Risk
Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of transportation, labor and manufacturing costs. In recent years, we have seen fluctuating transportation costs caused by global supply chain disruptions or geopolitical instability and general inflation effects, which may cause pressure on our costs and margins. More specifically, we source a large amount of our finished goods from international countries, which exposes us to international supply chain inflation, particularly ocean freight. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, general inflationary pressures continue to increase the other elements of our cost of goods and operating expenses.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to concentration of credit risk from our major customers. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, sales to two customers represented approximately 47% of our consolidated net sales. We have not experienced credit issues with these customers. We maintain provisions for potential credit losses and evaluate the solvency of our customers on an ongoing basis to determine if additional allowances for doubtful accounts and customer credits need to be recorded. Significant economic disruptions or a slowdown in the economy could result in significant additional charges.
