We are exposed to a variety of risks associated with financial instruments and otherwise. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our primary market risk exposures or our management of such exposures during 1H 2026 from the description set forth in note 18 to our 2025 AFS, under "Capital Resources" in Item 7, MD&A of the 2025 10-K and in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of the 2025 10-K.
Currency risk: We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our cash flow exposures and swaps to hedge our exposures of monetary assets and monetary liabilities (economic hedges), generally for periods of up to 12 months, to lock in the exchange rates for future foreign currency transactions, which is intended to reduce the foreign currency risk related to our operating costs and future cash flows denominated in local currencies. The fair value of the outstanding contracts at June 30, 2026 was a net unrealized loss of $26.3 million (December 31, 2025 — net unrealized gain of $13.2 million), resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the contract execution and the period-end date.
Equity price risk: See "Liquidity — Cash requirements — TRS" above for a description of the TRS Agreement. If the value of the TRS Agreement decreases over its term, we are obligated to pay the counterparty the amount of such decrease upon Settlement. As a result, the TRS Agreement is subject to equity price risk. In December 2025, we re-struck our TRS Agreement with the Strike Price of $288.87 per share. At June 30, 2026, our TRS Agreement had a notional quantity of 1.25 million Common Shares (December 31, 2025 — 1.25 million Common Shares). A one dollar decrease in our Common Share price would decrease the value of the TRS Agreement at June 30, 2026 by $1.3 million. At June 30, 2026, the fair value of the TRS Agreement was an unrealized gain of $94.3 million (December 31, 2025 — an unrealized gain of $7.2 million).
Interest rate risk: Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at specified rates, plus specified margins (described in note 7 to the Q2 2026 Interim Financial Statements and note 11 to our 2025 AFS). In order to partially hedge against our exposure to interest rate variability on our Term Loans, we have entered into various agreements with third-party banks to swap the variable interest rate with a fixed rate of interest for a portion of the borrowings under our Term Loans. At June 30, 2026, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was a net unrealized gain of $3.6 million (December 31, 2025 — a net unrealized loss of $2.4 million). A downward shift of the forward interest rate curve may result in a loss. A one-percentage point increase in relevant interest rates would increase interest expense, based on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2026, by $3.9 million annually, including the impact of our interest rate swap agreements, and by $7.4 million annually, without accounting for such agreements.
Our TRS Agreement exposes us to interest rate risk as interest payments on our TRS Agreement are based on a variable interest rate. See "Liquidity — Cash requirements — TRS" and "Operating Results — Finance costs" above.
