QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITAT IVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Effects of Inflation

While inflation may impact our revenues and cost of services, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition have not been significant.

However, there can be no assurance that our results of operations and financial condition will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including U.S.

fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control.

Interest rate risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt, which bears interest at variable rates.

Our debt has floating interest rates.

We are exposed to changes in the level of interest rates and to changes in the relationship or spread between interest rates for its floating rate debt.

Our floating rate debt requires payments based on variable interest rates such as the federal funds rate, prime rate, eurocurrency rate, and LIBOR.

Therefore, increases in interest rates may reduce our net income or loss by increasing the cost of debt.

As of June 30, 2021, we had convertible senior debt of $428.0 million and revolver borrowings of $0.0 million outstanding under the respective credit agreements.

As of December 31, 2020, we had term loan borrowings of $256.7 million, and revolver borrowings of $0.0 million outstanding under the respective credit agreements.

The borrowings accrue interest at either base rate, described above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness ,” plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.50% or at an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.50% to 3.50% under the Amended Credit Agreement, in each case depending on the total net leverage ratio, as defined in the respective agreements governing the Amended Credit Agreement.

In October 2019, we entered into a $140.0 million notional interest rate swap agreement, and in February 2020, we entered into a $30.0 million notional interest rate swap agreement, then a revised notional amount of $65.0 million beginning on September 30, 2020.

These interest rate swaps effectively converted $205.0 million of the outstanding term loan into to fixed rate payments for 57 months and 60 months, respectively.

A 1.0% increase or decrease in the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Successor Credit Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2020 would have increased or decreased cash interest expense on our indebtedness by approximately $1.0 million per annum and $1.0 million per annum, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, both interest rate swaps were settled.

We may incur additional borrowings from time to time for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.

In July 2017, the U.K.

Financial Conduct Authority announced its intention to phase out LIBOR rates by the end of 2021.

It is not possible to predict the effect of any changes in the methods by which the LIBOR is determined, or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere.

Such developments may cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past, including sudden or prolonged increases or decreases in LIBOR, or cease to exist, resulting in the application of a successor base rate under the Amended Credit Agreement, which in turn could have unpredictable effects on our interest payment obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Invoices for our services are denominated in U.S.

dollars and Canadian dollars.

We do not expect our future operating results to be significantly affected by foreign currency transaction risk.

We did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
