ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Foreign Exchange Risk We use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily certain short-term intercompany receivables and payables. Our foreign exchange forward contracts are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts are reflected as other current assets or other current liabilities and the associated gains and losses are reflected in interest and other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our hedging programs reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements. The gains and losses on those derivatives are expected to be offset by re-measurement gains and losses on the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. As of July 3, 2021, we had forward contracts that were effectively closed but not settled with the counterparties by year end. The fair value of these contracts of $2.6 million and $1.4 million is reflected as prepayments and other current assets and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 3, 2021, respectively. The forward contracts outstanding and not effectively closed, with a term of less than 120 days, were transacted near year end; therefore, the fair value of the contracts is not significant. As of July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, the notional amounts of the forward contracts that we held to purchase foreign currencies were $114.0 million and $146.4 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of forward contracts that we held to sell foreign currencies were $27.8 million and $22.0 million, respectively. The counterparties to these hedging transactions are creditworthy multinational banks. The risk of counterparty nonperformance associated with these contracts is not considered to be material. Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate some foreign exchange risks, we do not hedge all of our foreign currency exposures, and there can be no assurances that our mitigating activities related to the exposures that we do hedge will adequately protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. Investments Majority of our investments have maturities 90 days or less. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investments as a result of changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates can affect the interest earned on our investments. We seek to mitigate the credit risk of investments by holding high-quality, investment-grade debt instruments. We also seek to mitigate marketability risk by holding only highly liquid securities with active secondary or resale markets. However, the investments may decline in value or marketability due to changes in perceived credit quality or changes in market conditions. Debt The fair values of our 2023 and 2024 Notes are subject to interest rate and market price risk due to the convertible feature of the Notes and other factors. Generally, the fair value of fixed interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The fair value of the Notes may also increase as the market price of our stock rises and decrease as the market price of our stock falls. Changes in interest rates and our stock price affect the fair value of the Notes but does not impact our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the closing price of our common stock exceeded 130% of the applicable conversion price of the 2024 Notes, on at least 20 of the last 30 consecutive trading days of the quarter, causing the 2024 Notes to be convertible by their holders for the period of July 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021, resulting in a reclassification of the 2024 Notes to short-term debt. Settlement of conversion of the 2024 Notes is in cash for the principal amount and, if applicable, cash and/or shares of our common stock for any conversion premium at our election. As a result, we have reclassified the $414.2 million book value of the 2024 Notes to short-term debt and reclassified the difference in the book value and the face value of $45.8 million to temporary equity from permanent equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are not aware of, nor do we expect, any conversion requests by holders as the market price of the 2024 Notes exceeds its conversion value. Based on quoted market prices, as of July 3, 2021, the fair value of the 2023 Notes was $300.7 million and the fair value of the 2024 Notes was approximately $646.9 million. Refer to “Note 11. Debt” under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. 50 Table of Contents
