We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and inflation risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We had cash and cash equivalents of $105.9 million as of June 30, 2026, which consisted of short-term, highly liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Due to the short-term nature of our investments, we have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not result in a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We are also subject to interest rate risk in connection with our 2026 Credit Facility. See the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—2026 Credit Facility” above. To the extent that borrowings were outstanding, we do not believe that a hypothetical 10% change in the interest rate would have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Inflation Risk
We have experienced and may continue to experience an increase in commodity prices, labor costs, input costs and transportation costs. As part of Powering Honest Growth, we have implemented a robust cost-savings program, including optimization of our contract manufacturing strategies, optimization of our supply chain footprint and inventory management, along with leveraging technology to improve systems, reduced shipping and logistic costs, and product costs. If we are unable to offset these changing costs through further cost saving initiatives, price increases or cost reductions, our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
