Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Because a portion of the Company’s net revenues is derived from its operations outside the U.S. and is denominated in local currencies, the Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Exchange rates impact the U.S. dollar value of the Company’s reported revenues, expenses, earnings, assets and liabilities.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, approximately 22.4% of the Company’s revenues were generated outside of the U.S. These operations transact business in their functional currency, which is the same as their local currency. As a result, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, particularly the Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar and Euro, have an impact on the Company’s reported results. Under GAAP, revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Consequently, as the value of the U.S. dollar changes relative to the currencies of the Company’s international markets, the Company’s reported results vary.
During 2025, the U.S. dollar fluctuated, weakening against the British pound and Euro, and strengthening against the Australian dollar, Brazilian real and Canadian dollar compared to one year ago. Foreign currency exchange rates had the effect of increasing reported revenues by $19.9 million, or 0.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 2024. The fluctuation of the U.S. dollar also affected the reported level of expenses incurred in the Company’s international operations. Because substantially all the Company’s international operations generated revenues and incurred expenses within the same

country and currency, the effect of higher reported revenues is largely offset by the increase in reported operating expenses. Reported net income was $1.1 million, or 0.5%, lower for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 2024 due to the effect of currency exchange rates.
For the one month ended January 31, 2026, the U.S. dollar has weakened against the Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar and Euro since December 31, 2025. If foreign currency exchange rates were to remain at January 2026 levels throughout 2026, the currency impact on the Company’s full-year reported revenues would be favorable, offset by an unfavorable impact on operating expenses. These results will likely have an immaterial impact on reported net income.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates impact the U.S. dollar amount of the Company’s stockholders’ equity. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at period end. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Although currency fluctuations impact the Company’s reported results and shareholders’ equity, such fluctuations generally do not affect cash flow or result in actual economic gains or losses. The Company generally has few cross-border transfers of funds, which consist of dividends from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and transfers to and from the U.S. related to intercompany working capital requirements.
