We have market risk exposure arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rate movements in foreign exchange forward contracts. We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, but we currently expect our counterparties will continue to meet their obligations given their current creditworthiness.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A substantial portion of our operations are conducted by our subsidiaries outside of the United States in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Almost all of our non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Foreign currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated transactions, denominated in a currency other than a non-U.S. subsidiary’s functional currency. We recognized net gains (losses) associated with foreign currency translation of $(12.4) million and $111.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $(38.2) million and $159.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are included in other comprehensive income (loss).
We employ a foreign currency risk management strategy to minimize potential changes in cash flows from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. Where available, the use of foreign exchange forward contracts allows us to mitigate transactional exposure to exchange rate fluctuations as the gains or losses incurred on the foreign exchange forward contracts will help offset, in whole or in part, losses or gains on the underlying foreign currency exposure. Our policy allows foreign currency coverage only for identifiable foreign currency exposures. As of June 30, 2026, we had a U.S. dollar equivalent of $342.1 million in aggregate notional amount outstanding in foreign exchange forward contracts with third parties, as compared with $456.9 million at December 31, 2025. Transactional currency gains and losses arising from transactions outside of our sites’ functional currencies and changes in fair value of non-designated foreign exchange forward contracts are included in our consolidated results of operations. We recognized foreign currency net gains (losses) of $(6.3) million and $(20.0) million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $2.7 million and $(31.4) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
Based on a sensitivity analysis at June 30, 2026, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2026 would have impacted our net earnings by approximately $18.0 million. This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion relative to the U.S. dollar and that there are no indirect effects, such as changes in non-U.S. dollar sales volumes or prices. This calculation does not take into account the impact of the foreign currency exchange forward contracts discussed above.
