Item 3. 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 33% and 36% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 the six months ended June 30, 2022, we estimate that a 10% change in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against all foreign currency denominated revenues would result in an approximately 3% impact on our revenue. 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. Translation adjustments resulting from converting the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive 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. Our historical revenue by currency is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 U.S. Dollars Originating Currency U.S. Dollars Originating Currency U.S. Dollars Originating Currency U.S. Dollars Originating Currency Euro $ 40,024 € 36,743 $ 38,753 € 32,588 $ 77,642 € 69,758 $ 76,643 € 64,543 British pounds 14,755 £ 11,521 14,915 £ 10,806 28,220 £ 21,514 28,909 £ 21,122 All other non-U.S. currencies (1) 15,095 14,083 29,281 28,029 Total foreign currency 69,874 67,751 135,143 133,581 U.S. dollar 136,998 122,161 270,861 239,612 Total revenue $ 206,872 $ 189,912 $ 406,004 $ 373,193 (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. Amounts borrowed under our Credit Facility accrue interest at a per annum rate based on either (i) the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.125 % to 0.500 %, determined based on our consolidated leverage ratio or (ii) the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (for interest periods of 1, 3 or 6 months) plus a margin ranging from 1.125 % to 1.5 %, determined based on our consolidated leverage ratio. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our interest expense as of June 30, 2022. 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. 40 Table of Contents
