Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including risks related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation, interest rate fluctuation and inflation. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Our sales to international customers are denominated in multiple currencies, including but not limited to the U.S. dollar, the euro, the British pound, the Australian dollar and the Japanese yen. Revenue denominated in foreign currencies as a percentage of total revenue was approximately 36%, 35% and 35% in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Changes in exchange rates will affect our revenue and certain operating expenses to the extent that our revenue is generated and expenses are incurred in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Royalties earned by and paid to contributors are denominated in the U.S. dollar and will not be affected by changes in exchange rates. Based on our foreign currency denominated revenue for 2020, we estimate that a 10% change in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against all foreign currency denominated revenues would impact our revenue by approximately 3%. We have established foreign subsidiaries in various countries and have concluded that the functional currency of these entities is generally the local currency. Business transacted in currencies other than each entity’s functional currency results in transactional gains and losses. The net impacts of foreign currency transactions on our financial statements were gains of $2.4 million and $0.2 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively, and a loss of $2.2 million in 2018. Translation adjustments resulting from converting the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. We do not currently enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in order to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk, but we may do so in the future. 61 Table of Contents Our historical revenue by currency is as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 U.S. Dollars Originating Currency U.S. Dollars Originating Currency U.S. Dollars Originating Currency Euro $ 138,128 € 122,287 $ 133,341 € 117,852 $ 124,732 € 105,327 British pounds 49,402 £ 38,570 48,307 £ 37,658 49,561 £ 36,965 All other non-U.S. currencies (1) 49,630 47,471 44,393 Total foreign currency 237,160 229,119 218,686 U.S. dollar 429,526 421,404 404,564 Total revenue $ 666,686 $ 650,523 $ 623,250 (1) Includes no single currency which exceeded 5% of total revenue for any of the periods presented. Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk Our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market accounts. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents is not particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. We did not have any long-term borrowings as of December 31, 2020. Inflation Risk We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
