ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows are subject to a variety of risks, including risks associated with global financial and capital markets, primarily currency exchange rate risk and, to a lesser extent, interest rate risk. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices designed to mitigate their effects. We do not engage in speculative trading in any financial or capital market.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
Our primary currency exchange rate risk management objective is to mitigate the uncertainty of anticipated cash flows attributable to changes in exchange rates. We focus on mitigating changes in functional currency equivalent cash flows resulting from anticipated U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases by subsidiaries that use European euro, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, or Korean won as their functional currency. We also mitigate changes in functional currency equivalent cash flows resulting from anticipated non-functional currency denominated sales for subsidiaries that use U.S. dollar and European euro as their functional currency. We manage this risk primarily by using currency forward contracts. Additionally, we hedge net balance sheet exposures related primarily to non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities using foreign currency forward contracts in European euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc, Chinese renminbi, Korean won, British pound sterling, Danish krone, Norwegian krone, Polish zloty, Swedish krona, and Czech koruna. Non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, payables, deferred income taxes, and intercompany loans and dividends.
The net fair value of our derivative contracts wa s unfavorable by $8.4 million as of September 30, 2025. A 10% unfavorable exchange rate change in the euro, franc, Canadian dollar, yen, renminbi, won, pound sterling, krone, zloty, krona and koruna against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in the net fair value declining by approximately $94.0 million as of September 30, 2025. Changes in the fair value of derivative contracts resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations would be substantially offset by the change in value of the underlying hedged transactions.
There have been no other material changes in the market risk disclosure contained in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
