ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We operate in foreign countries which expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and various foreign currencies, the most significant of which are the British Pound and the Euro. In order to manage foreign currency risk, at times we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate risks associated with changes in spot exchange rates of mainly non-functional currency denominated assets or liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries. In general, the market risk related to these contracts is offset by corresponding gains and losses on the hedged transactions. By working only with major banks and closely monitoring current market conditions, we seek to limit the risk that counterparties to these contracts may be unable to perform. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts.
Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk through our borrowing activities. As of December 31, 2025, there was no outstanding balance under the current Second A&R Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 10, Debt and Credit Agreement, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
As of December 31, 2025, the net carrying amount under the 2029 Notes was $167.6 million. Although our convertible senior notes are based on a fixed rate, changes in interest rates could impact the fair value of such notes. As of December 31, 2025, the fair market value of the 2029 Notes was $185.9 million. Refer to Note 5, Fair Value of Financial Instruments , and Note 11, Convertible Senior Notes , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
We have used, and in the future we may use, interest rate swap agreements to protect against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing our exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on a portion of our outstanding debt. We do not hold or issue any derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements.
