Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
2025 Notes and Embedded Derivative
Our total fixed-rate borrowings under the 2025 Notes as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $161.9 million. We record all of our fixed-rate borrowings at amortized cost and therefore, any changes in interest rates do not impact the values that we report for these senior notes on our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had no variable-rate borrowings related to the 2025 Notes.
The 2025 Notes include an embedded derivative which was marked to fair value at December 31, 2022 and 2021 of $0.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The fair value inputs to the derivative valuation include dividend yield, term, volatility, stock price, and risk-free rate. Consequently we may incur gains and losses on the derivative as changes occur in the stock price, volatility, and risk-free rate at each reporting period. Additional details regarding our 2025 Notes and the embedded derivative are included in Item IV Part 15 Note 4. Fair Value Measurement of Assets and Liabilities and Note 6. Debt in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Revolving Credit Facility
We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates on our Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2022, assuming our Credit Facility was fully drawn up to the $15.7 million borrowing base, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in a $0.1 million change in annualized interest expense.
Inflation Risk
Inflation has increased during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and is expected to continue to increase for the near future. Inflationary factors, such as increases in the cost of our materials, supplies, and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience some effect if inflation rates continue to rise. Significant adverse changes in inflation and prices in the future could result in material losses.
Currency Risk
Foreign Currency Transaction Risk
Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. A majority of our revenue is denominated in U.S. Dollars, and therefore, our revenue is not directly subject to foreign currency risk. However, as we have operations in foreign countries, primarily in Europe, a stronger U.S. Dollar could make our products and services more expensive in foreign countries and therefore reduce demand. A weaker U.S. Dollar could have the opposite effect. Such economic exposure to currency fluctuations is difficult to measure or predict because our sales are also influenced by many other factors.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, sales denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 17.7% of total revenue. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located, which are primarily in
50
the U.S. and to a lesser extent in Europe. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. These foreign functional currencies consist of the British Pound Sterling, Euro, and Australian Dollar (collectively, the “Foreign Functional Currencies”). For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, a hypothetical 10% change in Foreign Functional Currency exchange rates would have increased or decreased our revenue by approximately $4.3 million. Actual gains and losses in the future may differ materially from the hypothetical gains and losses discussed above based on changes in the timing and amount of foreign currency exchange rate movements. With the completion of Ctrack South Africa divestiture in July 2021, our foreign currency transaction risk is expected to decrease.
Foreign Currency Translation Risk
Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets, liabilities, earnings and cash flows that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. Dollars for, and as of the end of, each reporting period. In particular, the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar generally will reduce the reported amount of our foreign-denominated cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, total revenues and total expense that we translate into U.S. Dollars and report in our consolidated financial statements for, and as of the end of, each reporting period. With the completion of the Ctrack South Africa divestiture in July 2021, our foreign currency translation risk is expected to decrease.
