ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include risk related to interest rate sensitivities and foreign currency exchange rate sensitivity.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
We had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $133.8 million and $213.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively; which consisted of bank deposits, money market funds and U.S. government securities. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk.
We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. We have not been exposed nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would have had a $0.6 million and an $0.5 million impact to interest income for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had total outstanding debt of $35.0 million and $34.9 million, respectively, net of debt issuance costs. The SVB Loan Agreement carried a variable interest rate based on the “Prime Rate” published by The Wall Street Journal. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 would have resulted in an immaterial impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Sensitivity
We face foreign exchange risk as a result of entering into transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, particularly in British Pound Sterling and in Philippine Pesos. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we do not consider this risk to be material. We do not utilize any forward foreign exchange contracts, although we may choose to do so in the future. All foreign transactions settle on the applicable spot exchange basis at the time such payments are made. The volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy. In the event our foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities, sales, or expenses increase, our operating results may be more greatly affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which we do business.
