Market Risk and Risk Management
In the normal course of business, we typically have exposure to interest rate risk from our investments and the Credit Agreement. We also have exposure to foreign exchange rate risk related to our foreign operations and foreign currency transactions.
See “Risk Factors” set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this report, for more information about the market risks to which we are exposed. There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk from December 31, 2025.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates through revenue and purchasing transactions when we sell products and purchase materials in currencies different from the currency in which product and manufacturing costs were incurred. Our reported financial results of operations, including the reported value of our assets and liabilities, are also impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Assets and liabilities of substantially all our subsidiaries outside the U.S. are translated at period end rates of exchange for each reporting period. Operating results and cash flow statements are translated at average rates of exchange during each reporting period.
The functional currencies of our worldwide facilities primarily include the United States Dollar, Euro, South Korean Won, New Taiwan Dollar, Japanese Yen, Pound Sterling, and Chinese Yuan. We are subject to risks associated with revenue and purchasing activities and costs to operate that are denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies, such as the Singapore Dollar, Malaysian Ringgit, Mexican Peso, Philippine Peso, and Thai Baht. Historically, the impact of changes to these particular exchange rates has not been material to our operating results.
From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency exchange rate contracts to hedge against changes in foreign currency exchange rates on assets and liabilities expected to be settled at a future date, including foreign currency, which may be required for a potential foreign acquisition. Market risk arises from the potential adverse effects on the value of derivative instruments that result from a change in foreign currency exchange rates. We may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage the exchange rate risk associated with intercompany debt denominated in nonfunctional currencies. We minimize our market risk applicable to foreign currency exchange rate contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of our derivative contract instruments. We enter into derivative contract instruments for risk management purposes only. We do not enter into or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
At the present time, a change in interest rates does not have an impact upon our future earnings and cash flow because our only outstanding debt are the 2028 Notes and the 2031 Notes, which carry a fixed 2.5% and 0% interest rate, respectively. However, increases in interest rates could impact our decision to borrow under the Credit Agreement, our ability to refinance existing maturities, and our ability to acquire additional debt on favorable terms.
