ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risks associated with prices of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. As described in Note L , Murphy periodically makes use of derivative financial and commodity instruments to manage risks associated with existing or anticipated transactions.
Commodity Price Risk
There were commodity transactions in place as of March 31, 2025, covering certain future U.S. natural gas sales volumes in 2025. A 10% increase in the respective benchmark price of these commodities would have increased the net payable associated with these derivative contracts by approximately $6.4 million, while a 10% decrease would have decreased the recorded net payable by a similar amount.
Foreign Exchange Risk
There were no derivative foreign exchange contracts in place at March 31, 2025.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s RCF provides for variable interest rate borrowings. As of March 31, 2025, we had $200.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the RCF. Assuming no change in the amount of borrowings outstanding under the RCF, a 10% increase in the average interest rate would have increased our interest expense by approximately $0.1 million. Actual results may vary due to changes in the amount of variable rate debt outstanding.
