Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Our market risk disclosures involve forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, interest rates and the price of diesel fuel purchased for use by third-party carriers who perform the physical freight movements we arrange. We include fuel price adjustment clauses or cost-recovery mechanisms in many of our customer contracts, enabling us to pass on to these customers substantially all of the fluctuations in the price of diesel fuel, except for short-term economic fluctuations, in the price for our services. Therefore, a hypothetical 10% change in the price of diesel fuel would not be expected to materially affect our financial performance. Our long-term debt consists of both fixed-rate and variable-rate instruments, which exposes us to interest rate risk. A 1% increase or decrease in the interest rate on borrowings under variable-rate debt would not have a material impact on our annual interest expense. Additionally, a portion of our net assets and income are in non-U.S. dollar currencies and, as such, we are exposed to currency risk from potential changes in the functional currency values of our foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows. We believe that this foreign currency exchange rate risk will not have a material impact on our financial results. 34 Table of Contents
