ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
At December 31, 2025 (Successor), we had $389.5 million of principal amount of debt outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 12.2%. Interest is calculated at the stated fixed rate of interest under the terms of the majority of our loans and for certain variable rate loans based on the greatest of certain specified base rates plus an applicable margin that varies based on certain factors. Assuming no change in the principal amount outstanding, the impact on interest expense of a 1% increase or decrease in the assumed weighted average interest rate would be approximately $3.9 million per year.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These risks include transaction gains and losses associated with intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in currencies other than a location’s functional currency. Our contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries.
Equity Price Risk
We have in the past, and may in the future, seek to acquire additional funding by sale of common stock and other equity. The price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may also be volatile in the future. As a result, there is a risk that we may not be able to sell our Common Stock at an acceptable price should the need for new equity funding arise.
Inflation Fluctuation Risk
Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor, laboratory supplies, consumables and equipment. We believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, more specifically on our costs of revenues as discussed in the sections results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 of our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations.
