Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks that may result from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $866 million, and $1.1 billion, respectively. This consisted of interest-bearing money market accounts and investments in corporate notes and U.S. government securities, which create an exposure to interest rate risk. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 would not have resulted in a material effect on the fair market value of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. In addition, a hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 would not result in a material effect on income in the respective ensuing year.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We do not have any foreign currency forward or cross currency swap contracts. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in our contracts with research institutions, CROs, and contract manufacturing organizations as certain services are performed by them outside the United States and billed in other currencies. A hypothetical 20% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates compared with the U.S. dollar relative to exchange rates as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively would not result in material impact to our financial position or income in the respective ensuing year.
