ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Our primary exposure to interest rate risk is due to our variable-rate debt agreements, including our 2023 Credit Agreement. These variable-rate debt agreements use Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which is subject to fluctuation and uncertainty. As of December 31, 2025, the value of our variable-rate debt was $3,006.7 million. A sensitivity analysis using a one hundred basis point increase in interest rates on our variable-rate debt as of December 31, 2025, and holding other variables consistent, would cause an estimated reduction in income before income taxes of $30.1 million. We continue to evaluate the interest rate environment and look for opportunities to improve our debt structure and minimize our interest rate risk and expense.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We hedge a portion of our currency exchange exposure relating to foreign currency transactions with foreign exchange forward contracts. A sensitivity analysis indicates the potential loss in fair value on foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2025, resulting from a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in all foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, is approximately $4.0 million. Such losses would be largely offset by gains from the revaluation or settlement of the underlying assets and liabilities that are being protected by the foreign exchange forward contracts.
During the year ended 2025, we converted $150.0 million of our 4.00% fixed-rate USD-denominated 2029 Senior Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to fixed-rate DKK denominated debt at rate of 1.9809%. We have designated these cross currency swap agreements as net investment hedges.
