ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Combined Company is exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates on operations in Canada and Mexico, and from time to time, on imported rides and equipment. The objective of the Combined Company's financial risk management is to reduce the potential negative impact of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations to acceptable levels. Market risk sensitive instruments are not acquired for trading purposes.
Interest rate risk is typically managed using a combination of fixed-rate long-term debt, interest rate swaps that fix variable-rate long-term debt, and variable-rate borrowings under a revolving credit facility. Translation exposures with regard to Canadian and Mexican operations are not hedged.
As of June 30, 2024, Cedar Fair's variable rate debt included a $1.0 billion senior secured term loan facility and $300 million revolving credit facility under the 2024 Credit Agreement. Assuming the $1.0 billion senior secured term loan facility and the daily average balance over the past twelve months on revolving credit borrowings of approximately $65.6 million, a hypothetical 100 bps increase in 30-day SOFR on the variable-rate debt would lead to an increase of approximately $10.7 million in cash interest costs over the next twelve months. Following the consummation of the Mergers, the Combined Company variable rate debt includes the $1.0 billion senior secured term loan facility and borrowings under the $850 million revolving credit facility under the 2024 Credit Agreement, as amended.
A uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would have resulted in a $6.9 million decrease in annual operating income for Cedar Fair's trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024. For periods following the consummation of the Mergers, the Combined Company results will include operations in Mexico and additional operations in Canada.
