We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30, 2026, we had $336.6 million in cash equivalents and $4.6 billion in marketable securities, which consisted of corporate debt securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, U.S. government treasury securities, and U.S. government agency securities. Our cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our investments are exposed to market risk due to a fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect our interest income and the fair market value of our investments. As of June 30, 2026, a hypothetical 10% relative change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our reporting currency and the functional currency of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. All of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore our revenue is not currently subject to significant foreign currency risk. Our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, which are primarily in the United States, France, and Ireland. Our consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
To mitigate a portion of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and are intended to reduce the variability in operating expenses associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. We do not enter into foreign currency forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies would not have a material effect on our operating results.
