In our normal course of business, we are exposed to certain market risks, including changes in interest rates, natural gas and LNG commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. In order to manage these risks, we may utilize derivative instruments. Gains or losses on those derivative instruments would typically be offset by corresponding gains or losses on the hedged item.
Interest Rate Risk
We have entered into long-term interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates associated with our external bank loans. We are exposed to changes in interest rates on our other debt facilities as well as the portion of our external bank loans that remain unhedged. We may enter into additional derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rates.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of our interest rate swaps was $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Based on our hedged notional amount as of June 30, 2026, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in the three-month and six-month SOFR forward curves would change the estimated fair value of our existing interest rate swaps by $0.7 million.
Commodity Price Risk
In the course of our operations, we may be exposed to commodity price risk, primarily through our purchases of or commitments to purchase LNG. To reduce our exposure, we may enter into derivative instruments to offset some or all of the associated price risk. As of June 30, 2026, we had $(1.2) million in financial commodity derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2025, we had no financial commodity derivative instruments. Based on our hedged notional amount as of June 30, 2026, a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the underlying commodities prices would change the estimated fair value of our commodity derivative instruments by $1.3 million.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We have one foreign subsidiary that utilizes the euro as its functional currency. Gains or losses due to transactions in foreign currencies are included in other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of income. Due to a portion of our expenses being incurred in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, our expenses may, from time to time, increase relative to our revenues as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly between the U.S. dollar and the euro, Argentine peso, Brazilian real, Bangladesh taka and Jamaican dollar. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of financial derivatives used to hedge some of our currency exposure was immaterial. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded $(0.4) million and $(0.5) million, respectively, in foreign currency gains/(losses) in our consolidated statements of income.
