Market risk refers to the risk that a change in the level of one or more market prices, interest rates, inflation, currency exchange rates, indices, correlations or other market factors, such as liquidity, will result in losses for a certain financial instrument or group of financial instruments. Our senior management actively monitors certain market risks to which we are exposed, primarily from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In order to limit our exposure to these risks, we may enter into derivative instruments with creditworthy institutions to hedge against changing interest rates and foreign currency rate fluctuations. We currently utilize forward exchange contracts, fixed-to-fixed cross-currency rate swap contracts, fixed-to-floating interest rate swap contracts and other non-derivative hedging instruments to manage risk.
Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risks generally arises from our international operations to the extent they are conducted in local currency. The major currencies to which we are exposed to are the Argentine Peso, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Euro and Indian Rupee. Changes in the value of underlying monetary assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. dollar-denominated foreign investments and foreign currency transactions in highly inflationary economies may result in foreign currency exchange losses. We also have exposure to risks related to currency devaluation in certain countries, which may negatively impact our international operating results if there is a prolonged devaluation of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar or if the economic conditions in these countries decline. In April 2025, the Argentine government announced economic policy changes, including the removal of certain currency controls, resulting in a significant devaluation of the Argentine Peso. Additionally, the Argentine Peso experienced significant volatility during 2025 due to the economic landscape in Argentina. The remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities of subsidiaries located in Argentina, a highly inflationary economy, resulted in foreign currency exchange losses of $30 million and $46 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $9 million and $64 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which is included within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income.
Additional information about market risks to which we are exposed is included within Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative analyses about market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
