The Company is subject to market risk exposures of varying correlations and volatilities, changes in interest rates, commodity price risk, and foreign currency exchange rates. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, any material changes in risk factors that were disclosed in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, are set forth herein.
Interest Rate Risk
Fluctuating interest rates and securities prices could negatively impact the Company's financial performance as a result of realized losses on the sale of fixed income investments and/or realized losses due to an impairment adjustment on investment securities. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its available-for-sale security portfolio, which consists mainly of investment-grade debt securities. Changes in interest rates may affect the fair value of these investments. Though the Company does have a short-term borrowing, such debt bears interest at a fixed rate. As such, changes in market interest rates will not materially affect any such interest expense. The Company did not have an outstanding balance related to its revolving credit facility at June 30, 2026, or December 31, 2025. Management does not believe that interest rate risk at the current time has any particular material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Commodity Price Risk
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has exposure to commodity price fluctuations related to the purchases of certain materials used in its manufacturing operations. Such materials used in manufacturing operations are increasing in price based on competitive market conditions. The Company has established pricing terms with customers through contracts or similar arrangements, so the ability to increase prices of its products to offset the increased costs of materials can be limited. The Company does not currently enter into derivative financial instruments associated with commodities.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
A portion of the Company's operations consist of activities outside of the U.S. As a result, the Company has currency risk on the transactions in other currencies and translation adjustments resulting from the conversion of international financial results into the U.S. dollar. A substantial majority of the Company's operations and investment activities are transacted in the U.S. and in U.S. dollars. Less than 10% of Company revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, were earned in non-U.S. dollar denominated currencies. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts entered into to manage exposure to U.S. dollar-denominated transactions for risk management purposes. Management does not believe that foreign currency exchange rate risk, including the use of such forward contracts, currently has a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company does not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments that have not been recorded in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
