Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have in the past and may in the future be exposed to certain market risks, including foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk and inflation risk, in the ordinary course of our business. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.
Foreig n Currency Exchange Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to transactions in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, which is our functional currency. Our foreign subsidiaries, revenue and operating expenses expose us to foreign currency exchange risk. For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, approximately 16%, 20% and 10%, respectively, of our revenue was in foreign currencies. These sales were primarily denominated in Euro and Norwegian Krone. We do not believe a 10% change in the relative value of the U.S. Dollar would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
Interest Rate Risk
As of January 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $181.9 million and $226.9 million of short-term investments, consisting of available-for-sale securities. The available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair market value with unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value reported as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
Our cash equivalent and investment portfolio is invested with a goal of preserving our access to capital, and primarily consists of money market funds, commercial paper, corporate debt securities and U.S. government debt securities. We follow an established investment policy and set of guidelines to monitor and help mitigate our exposure to interest rate and credit risk. Due to the relatively short-term nature of our investment portfolio, a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair value of our portfolio for the periods presented.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.
