Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are primarily exposed to changes in currency exchange rates as certain of our operations are conducted in foreign currencies such as the Indian Rupee, the Canadian Dollar, and the Euro.
Economic Exposure
We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant international revenues, as well as costs denominated in foreign currencies. This exposes us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to identify material foreign currency exposures and to manage these exposures to minimize the potential effects of currency fluctuations on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Transaction Exposure
Our exposure to foreign currency transaction gains and losses is the result of assets and liabilities, (including inter-company transactions) that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional currency. In certain circumstances, changes in the functional currency value of these assets and liabilities create fluctuations in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We have performed sensitivity analyses as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 using a modeling technique that evaluated the hypothetical impact of a 10% movement in the value of the U.S. Dollar compared to the functional currency of the subsidiary, with all other variables held constant, to determine the incremental transaction gains or losses that would have been incurred. The foreign exchange rates used were based on market rates in effect at each of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The results of these sensitivity analyses indicated that the impact on a hypothetical 10% movement in foreign currency exchange rates would result in increased foreign currency gains or losses of $0.6 million as of June 30, 2022 and $0.4 million as of December 31, 2021.
Translation Exposure
We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. Dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. Dollars results in a gain or loss which is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.
With respect to our international operations, we have re-measured accounts which are denominated in the non-functional currencies into the functional currency of the subsidiary and recorded the resulting gains (losses) within foreign currency gains (losses), net in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We re-measure all monetary assets and liabilities at the current exchange rate at the end of the period, non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates, and revenue and expenses at average exchange rates in effect during the periods.
