Eastman has exposure to various market risks principally due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the pricing of various commodities, and interest rates. In an effort to manage these risks, the Company employs various strategies, including pricing, inventory management, and hedging. The Company enters into derivative contracts which are governed by policies, procedures, and internal processes set forth by its Board of Directors.
The Company determines its exposures to market risk by utilizing sensitivity analyses, which measure the potential losses in fair value resulting from one or more selected hypothetical changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or interest rates. For more information regarding exposures, refer to Part II, Item 7A of the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At June 30, 2026, the market risk associated with certain cash flows under foreign currency derivative transactions assuming a 10 percent adverse move in the U.S. dollar relative to these foreign currencies was $33 million, with an additional $3 million exposure for each additional one percentage point adverse change in those foreign currency rates. Since the Company utilizes currency-sensitive derivative instruments for hedging anticipated foreign currency transactions, a loss in fair value from those instruments is generally offset by an increase in the value of the underlying anticipated transactions.
Other than the foreign currency risk discussed above, there have been no material changes to the Company's market risks from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
