Interest rate risk
We had cash and cash equivalents of $1,056.2 million and short-term investments of $57.6 million as of June 30, 2026. We hold our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments for working capital purposes. Our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments consist primarily of cash, money market funds, corporate notes and obligations, U.S. Treasury securities, asset-backed securities, U.S. agency obligations, supranational securities, and municipal securities. The primary objectives of our investment activities are the preservation of capital, the fulfillment of liquidity needs, and the control of cash and investments. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our cash equivalents and our portfolio of debt securities are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates.
As of June 30, 2026, a hypothetical increase in interest rates by 100 basis points would have had an immaterial impact on the market value of our investment portfolio. This estimate is based on a sensitivity model that measures market value changes when changes in interest rates occur.
Borrowings under the term loan facility bear interest, at our option, at either (a) an alternate base rate, which is defined as a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate then in effect, (ii) the federal funds rate then in effect, plus 0.50% per annum, and (iii) a term SOFR rate determined on the basis of a one-month interest period plus 1.00% per annum, in each case, plus a 2.75%, margin, or (b) an overnight term SOFR rate (based on one, three or six month interest periods), plus a 3.75% margin. As of June 30, 2026, we had $2,674.8 million outstanding under the term loan facility.
The borrowings under the 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest at our option, at either (a) an alternate base rate, which is defined as a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate then in effect, (ii) the greater of the federal funds effective rate or overnight bank funding rate then in effect, plus 0.50% per annum, and (iii) a term SOFR rate determined on the basis of a one-month interest period plus 1.00% per annum, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% based on our consolidated secured leverage ratio, or (b) a term SOFR rate (based on one, three or six month interest periods), plus a margin ranging from 3.00% to 3.50% based on our consolidated secured leverage ratio
We do not have any other long-term debt or financial liabilities with floating interest rates that would subject us to interest rate fluctuations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would have resulted in a $6.8 million and $11.4 million change, respectively, in interest expense related to the term loan facility.
Foreign currency exchange risk
Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to U.S. dollars, our reporting currency.
Most of our revenue is generated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder generated in Euros, British pounds sterling, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, and Japanese yen.
Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located, which are primarily the United States and, to a lesser extent, Europe and Asia. The functional currency of Dropbox International Unlimited, our international headquarters and largest international entity, is denominated in U.S. dollars. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates in ways that are unrelated to our operating performance.
As exchange rates may fluctuate significantly between periods, revenue and operating expenses, when converted into U.S. dollars, may also experience significant fluctuations between periods. Volatile market conditions, including those arising from macroeconomic events, such as the volatility and uncertainty in the banking and financial services sector, fluctuating interest rates, tightening of credit markets, as well as geopolitical events have and may in the future result in significant changes in exchange rates, and in particular a weakening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar has and may in the future negatively affect our revenue expressed in U.S. dollars. Historically, a majority of our revenue and operating expenses have been denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, and British pounds sterling. Although we are impacted by the exchange rate movements from a number of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, our results of operations are particularly impacted by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar-Euro and U.S. dollar-British pounds sterling exchange rates. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, 34% of our sales were denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Our expenses, by contrast, are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result, any increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies could cause our revenue to decline relative to our costs, thereby decreasing our margins.

Foreign currency transaction gains or losses were immaterial during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency rates would not have resulted in material gains or losses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
To date, we have not engaged in any hedging activities. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to managing risks relating to fluctuations in currency rates.
