Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are primarily exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on our term loans, revolving loans and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relate primarily to our Term Loan B and the Revolver.
As of June 30, 2022, we had an outstanding balance of $957.5 million on Term Loan B. Term Loan B bears a floating interest rate of 1.75% plus LIBOR. As of June 30, 2022, an adverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on Term Loan B by approximately $9.6 million, assuming that the loan balance as of June 30, 2022 is outstanding for the entire period (June 30, 2021—$9.7 million).
As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding balance under the Revolver. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest per annum at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed rate that is dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. As of June 30, 2022, with no outstanding balance on the Revolver, an adverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have no effect on our annual interest payment (June 30, 2021—nil).
For more information regarding the impact and discontinuance of LIBOR, see “Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect our finances and operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against” included within Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” on this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency transaction risk
We transact business in various foreign currencies. Our foreign currency exposures typically arise from intercompany fees, intercompany loans and other intercompany transactions that are expected to be cash settled in the near term and are transacted in non-functional currency. We expect that we will continue to realize gains or losses with respect to our foreign currency exposures. Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to foreign currency exposures will generally depend on the size and type of cross-currency transactions that we enter into, the currency exchange rates associated with these exposures and changes in those rates. Additionally, we have hedged certain of our Canadian dollar foreign currency exposures relating to our payroll expenses in Canada.
Based on the foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2022, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have caused a change of $0.5 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts (June 30, 2021—$0.7 million).
Foreign currency translation risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets and liabilities that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. dollars. In particular, the amount of cash and cash equivalents that we report in U.S. dollars for a significant portion of the cash held by these subsidiaries is subject to translation variance caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as of the end of each respective reporting period (the offset to which is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets).

The following table shows our cash and cash equivalents denominated in certain major foreign currencies as of June 30, 2022 (equivalent in U.S. dollar):
(In thousands) U.S. Dollar
Equivalent at
June 30, 2022
U.S. Dollar
Equivalent at
June 30, 2021
Euro $ 254,546 $ 331,974
British Pound 44,020 78,140
Canadian Dollar 14,640 26,632
Swiss Franc 48,674 44,900
Other foreign currencies 127,060 128,879
Total cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies 488,940 610,525
U.S. Dollar 1,204,801 996,781
Total cash and cash equivalents $ 1,693,741 $ 1,607,306
If overall foreign currency exchange rates in comparison to the U.S. dollar uniformly weakened by 10%, the amount of cash and cash equivalents we would report in equivalent U.S. dollars would decrease by $48.9 million (June 30, 2021—$61.1 million), assuming we have not entered into any derivatives discussed above under “Foreign Currency Transaction Risk.”
