Interest Rate Risk
Our portfolio of cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments is maintained in a variety of securities that are detailed in Note 2 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The majority of our investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and carried at fair market value with cumulative unrealized gains or losses recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders' equity. A sharp rise in interest rates could have an adverse impact on the fair market value of certain securities in our portfolio. We do not currently hedge our interest rate exposure and do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. If market interest rates were to increase by 100 basis points, reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity, from June 30, 2026 levels, the fair value of our available-for-sale portfolio would decline by approximately $25.8 million.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $7,640.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes outstanding that are senior unsecured obligations with fixed annual interest rates. The terms of the notes are discussed more fully in Note 6 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Due to the fixed annual interest rate, these notes do not give rise to financial or economic interest exposure associated with changes in interest rates. However, the fair value of fixed rate debt instruments fluctuates when interest rates change. Additionally, the fair value can be affected when the market price of our common stock fluctuates. We carry the notes at face value less an unamortized

discount on our interim condensed consolidated balance sheet, and we present the fair value for required disclosure purposes only.
Our exposure to risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to any borrowings under our credit agreements, which have variable rates of interest. As of June 30, 2026, we had no outstanding borrowings under the 2025 Credit Agreement or the 2022 Credit Agreement.
Foreign Currency Risk
Growth in our international operations will incrementally increase our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations as well as other risks typical of international operations that could impact our business, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures and other regulations and restrictions. Because we publicly report in U.S. dollars, our reported revenue results are negatively impacted when the U.S. dollar strengthens and benefit when the U.S. dollar weakens and has an opposite effect on our expenses where our expenses are positively impacted when the U.S. dollar strengthens and are negatively impacted when the U.S. dollar weakens. However, the impact to expenses only partially offsets the impact to our revenue.
Transaction Exposure
Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our consolidated results of operations as exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currencies result in gains and losses that are reflected in our interim condensed consolidated statements of income. We enter into short-term foreign currency forward contracts to offset foreign exchange gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of certain assets and liabilities recorded in non-functional currencies. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives, as well as re-measurement gains and losses, are recognized in our interim condensed consolidated statements of income within other expense, net. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses from these forward contracts were determined to be immaterial during the six months ended June 30, 2026. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Translation Exposure
To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency-denominated transactions will result in increased revenue and operating expenses. Conversely, our revenue and operating expenses will decrease when the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies. A hypothetical 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currencies in which our revenues and expenses are denominated would not result in a material impact to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may also adversely impact our consolidated financial condition as the assets and liabilities of our international operations are translated into U.S. dollars in preparing our interim condensed consolidated balance sheet. These gains or losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders' equity.
Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited to certain customers to which we make substantial sales. Our customer base consists of a large number of geographically dispersed customers diversified across numerous industries. We believe that our accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. As of June 30, 2026, no customer had an accounts receivable balance greater than 10% of total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2025, there was one customer with an accounts receivable balance of 10% of total accounts receivable. We believe that at June 30, 2026, the concentration of credit risk related to accounts receivable was insignificant.
