Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Foreign Currency Exchange Risk We are exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate changes due to our international sales and global funding. In the normal course of business, we employ established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies using a variety of financial instruments. It is our policy to utilize financial instruments to reduce risks where internal netting cannot be effectively employed and not to enter into foreign currency or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Our foreign currency risk management objective is to protect our earnings and cash flows resulting from sales, purchases and other transactions from the adverse impact of exchange rate movements. Foreign exchange risk is managed by using forward contracts to offset exchange risk associated with receivables and payables. We generally maintain hedge coverage between minimum and maximum percentages. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, hedged transactions were denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, British pounds, Danish krone, Hungarian forint, Israeli shekel, Norwegian kroner, Swedish krona, Swiss francs, Polish zloty, South African rand, Australian dollars, Japanese yen, New Zealand dollars, Singapore dollars, Bulgarian lev, Czech koruna, Hong Kong dollars, Romanian leu, Brazilian real, Colombian pesos, Chilean pesos, Indian rupee, Chinese yuan, Turkish lira, Moroccan dirham, Thai baht, Malaysian ringgit and Indonesian rupiah. We monitor our foreign exchange risk using a Value-at-Risk (“VaR”) model. The VaR model determines the maximum potential loss in the fair value of our forward contracts and those assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that the forward contracts are intended to hedge assuming a one-day holding period. The VaR model estimates were made assuming normal market conditions and a 95% confidence level. The estimated maximum potential one-day loss in fair value, calculated using the VaR model would be $1,799 and $819 as of December 30, 2023 and September 28, 2024, respectively. Interest Rate Risk We are exposed to changes in interest rates on a portion of our long-term debt, which is subject to changes in major interest rate benchmarks, used to maintain liquidity and finance working capital, capital expenditures and business expansion. For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Resources.” If interest rates, however, were to increase or decrease by 1%, and our borrowing amounts stayed constant on our Term Loan Credit Facility and our ABL Credit Facilities at the levels of such borrowing amounts as of September 28, 2024, our annual increased expense would increase by approximately $8,817, or decrease by $12,600, respectively, after considering the impact of our interest rate cap agreements. Assuming that our ABL Revolving Credit Facility was fully drawn as of September 28, 2024, each one-eighth percentage point change in interest rates would result in a change of approximately $5,825 in annual interest expense on the indebtedness under our Term Loan Credit Facility and our ABL Credit Facilities. Rising interest rates do not materially impact the Company’s balance sheet items relating to inventory, accounts payable or accrued expense balances. Our management objective is to finance our business at interest rates that are competitive in the marketplace while moderating our exposure to volatility in interest costs. To achieve our objectives, we may utilize both variable- and fixed-rate debt with a portion of our variable interest rate exposure from time to time mitigated through interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments. To mitigate the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arising from the Company’s long-term debt, the Company entered into certain agreements during the first quarter of 2023 to establish a 5.5% upper limit on the LIBOR interest rate applicable to a substantial portion of the borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility. Due to the cessation of the LIBOR interest rate on June 30, 2023, we amended the interest rate cap agreements to establish a 5.317% upper limit on the SOFR interest rate. These interest rate cap agreements transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR as the interest reference rate during the third quarter of 2023. The Company has funded, and to the extent applicable expects to continue to fund, increases in the Company’s interest expense resulting from rising interest rates through cash flows from operations. 42
