Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including sensitivities as follows:
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relate primarily to our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.
We had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $300.3 million and $221.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which were held for working capital purposes. Our cash and cash equivalents are comprised of interest-bearing cash accounts and money market funds, and our short-term investments are comprised of U.S. Treasury bills, corporate bonds, government and government agency securities, and asset-backed bonds. Our investments are made for capital preservation purposes. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
There was no significant foreign currency risk for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 since we operate primarily in the United States. Our operations in the United Kingdom are not considered significant. Accordingly, we believe we do not have a material exposure to foreign currency risk. We may choose to focus on international expansion in the future, which may increase our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.
