Foreign Currency Risk
Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is primarily the result of foreign subsidiaries and foreign branches primarily domiciled in Canada. We use financial derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risks associated with our Canadian operations.
The assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries and foreign branches, whose functional currencies are primarily Canadian dollars, are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. The cumulative translation effects for subsidiaries using a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. We estimate that had the exchange rate in each country unfavorably changed by ten percent relative to the U.S. dollar, our consolidated loss before taxes would have decreased by approximately $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate exposure relates primarily to the effect of interest rate changes on borrowings outstanding under the 2030 Term Loan Facility, the 2030 ABL and 2030 Notes.
We manage our interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we have entered into interest rate collar agreements to manage our exposure to potential interest rate increases that may result from fluctuations in SOFR. We do not designate these derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes, and as a result, all changes in the fair value of derivatives, used to hedge interest rates, are recorded in “Interest expense, net” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
We have interest rate collar contracts with an aggregate notional value of principal of $500.0 million as of June 30, 2026, from various financial institutions to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on variable rate credit facilities. Interest rate collar contracts with notional value of principal of $300.0 million matured on April 5, 2026. In April 2026, we entered into one interest rate collar contract with a notional value of principal of $100.0 million. This interest rate collar will mature on April 8, 2029. In July 2024, we entered into two interest rate collar contracts with a notional value of principal of $200.0 million each. The interest rate collar contracts are effective December 16, 2024 and will mature on April 5, 2027 and 2028. The aggregate fair value of our interest rate collars represented an outstanding net asset of $0.4 million as of June 30, 2026.
Holding other variables constant, a change of one-eighth percentage point in the weighted average interest rate above the floor of 0.75% on the 2030 Term Loan Facility and 2030 ABL would have resulted in an increase of $0.9 million in interest expense, net of gains from interest rate caps and collars, for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
In the future, in order to manage our interest rate risk, we may refinance our existing debt, enter into additional interest rate cap agreements or modify our existing interest rate cap agreement. However, we do not intend or expect to enter into derivative or interest rate cap transactions for speculative purposes.
