Foreign Currency
We have international operations in The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, China, Portugal, Canada, Czech Republic, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand which expose us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations due to transactions denominated in Euros, Swedish Krona, Chinese Renminbi, Canadian dollar, Czech Krona, Mexican pesos, British Pound Sterling, and New Zealand dollar, respectively. We continuously evaluate our foreign currency risk, and we take action from time to time in order to best mitigate these risks. A hypothetical 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to our most significant foreign currency exposures would have had an impact of approximately $10,476 on our sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026. This amount is not indicative of the hypothetical net earnings impact due to partially offsetting impacts on cost of sales and operating expenses in those currencies. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we estimate that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations increased revenues by $1,255.
We translate all assets and liabilities of our foreign operations, where the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency, at the period-end exchange rate and translate sales and expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. The net effect of these translation adjustments is recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as comprehensive income. The translation adjustments were a loss of $1,691 and a gain of $11,644 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The translation adjustments were a loss of $4,517 and a gain of $15,506 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to permanent investments in our foreign subsidiaries. A hypothetical 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to our most significant foreign currency net assets would have had an impact of approximately $20,355 on our foreign net assets as of June 30, 2026.
We have contracts to hedge our short-term balance sheet exposure, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in currencies (Euro, Mexican Peso, New Zealand Dollar, Chinese Renminbi, Swedish Krona) other than the subsidiary’s functional currency and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in other expense, net in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. To minimize foreign currency exposure, the Company had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $32,680 at June 30, 2026. The foreign currency contracts are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded gains of $298 and $666, respectively, on foreign currency contracts which are included in other expense, net and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other expense, net. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses included in other expense was insignificant for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and amounted to a loss of $1,509 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Interest Rates
The Series A Notes under our 2024 Note Payable Agreement will bear interest at a fixed rate 5.96% and will mature on March 21, 2031. Interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly on the 21st day of March, June, September and December in each year, commencing on June 21, 2024. As amended on October 22, 2024, the Series A Notes bore interest at 6.46% from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025.

Interest rates on our Credit Facility are based on Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.50% (1.625% at June 30, 2026), depending on the Company’s ratio of total funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA.

interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. In March 2022 the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $40,000 that matures in December 2026. In September 2024, the Company entered into an additional interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50,000 that matures in September 2027.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $117,962 outstanding under the Revolving Facility (excluding deferred financing fees), of which $90,000 is currently being hedged. Refer to Note 9, Debt Obligations, of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information about our outstanding debt. A hypothetical one percentage point (100 basis points) change in the Base Rate on the $27,962 of unhedged floating rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2026 would have approximately a $140 impact on our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
