We are exposed to market risks primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and changes in the market value of our investments. We use certain derivative instruments to hedge a portion of the interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks.
Interest Rate Risk
We have exposure to changes in interest rates associated with borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. At our option, these borrowings bear interest at one, three or six month Term SOFR or an alternate base rate, in each case plus the applicable margin. At June 30, 2026, we had borrowings outstanding under our senior secured credit facility totaling $834.0 million that carried a weighted average interest rate of 5.3%, including the impact of the interest rate swaps described below. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in the interest rate would have a $5.8 million effect on our pretax income on an annualized basis, including the effect of the interest rate swaps. At December 31, 2025, we had borrowings outstanding under our senior secured credit facility totaling $511.0 million that carried a weighted average interest rate of 5.3% including the impact of the interest rate swaps described below. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in the interest rate would have had a $2.6 million effect on our pretax income on an annualized basis, including the effect of the interest rate swaps.
We enter into forward interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the interest rate risks of our variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we receive from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on one month Term SOFR and we pay to the counterparty a stated, fixed rate. As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the aggregate notional amount of our forward interest rate swap agreements was $250.0 million. The outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2026 are scheduled to mature on a staggered basis through February 28, 2030.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our operations in India and Canada. We hedge a portion of our cash flow exposure related to our INR-denominated intercompany expenses and our translation risk related to our USD-denominated intercompany receivables in Canada by entering into foreign exchange forward contracts.
Indian Rupee Forward Contracts: As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the aggregate notional amounts of these contracts were Indian Rupee (INR) 0.69 billion, or $7.3 million, and Indian Rupee (INR) 1.47 billion, or $16.3 million, respectively, based on the exchange rates in effect as of each period end. The outstanding Indian Rupee forward contracts as of June 30, 2026 are scheduled to mature monthly through April 30, 2027.
Canadian Dollar Forward Contracts: As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the notional amount of our outstanding Canadian Dollar forward contracts was $20.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively. The outstanding Canadian Dollar forward contract as of June 30, 2026 is scheduled to settle on September 30, 2026.
We use a sensitivity analysis to determine the effects that market foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may have on the fair value of our foreign exchange forward contract portfolio. The sensitivity of the portfolio is computed based on the market value of future cash flows as affected by changes in exchange rates. This sensitivity analysis represents the hypothetical changes in value of the derivatives and does not reflect the offsetting gain or loss on the underlying exposure. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in the USD to INR and USD to CAD exchange rates would have an immaterial impact on the fair value of our derivative instruments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Market Risk
We have a 1.69% convertible debt investment in Shorelight Holdings, LLC, a privately-held company, which we account for as an available-for-sale debt security. As such, the investment is carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. To the extent any change in fair value is the result of a change in credit-related factors, such change is recorded to other income (expense), net in our consolidated statement of operations as a change to the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is calculated as the difference between the present value of expected cash flows to be generated from the investment and the cost basis, limited to the difference between the fair value and cost basis. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the investment was $33.8 million with a total cost basis of $40.9 million. The fair value of $33.8 million includes a $9.3 million allowance for credit losses. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of the investment was $34.1 million with a total cost basis of $40.9 million. The fair value of $34.1 million included a $10.4 million allowance for credit losses.
We have an equity investment in a privately-held hospital-at-home company, which we account for as equity securities without a readily determinable fair value using the measurement alternative. As such, the investment is carried at cost minus impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the investment was $0.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, with a total cost basis of $5.0 million. In the second quarter of 2026, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $2.2 million based on the valuation established in the most recent financing round. In the first quarter of 2025, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $4.2 million on our investment based on the valuation anticipated from the hospital-at-home company's merger with a third-party. Upon the completion of the merger in the second quarter of 2025, we recognized an additional $0.8 million non-

cash impairment charge based on the final valuation utilized in the merger. The non-cash impairment charges were recorded to other income (expense), net in our consolidated statement of operations.

We do not use derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. From time to time, we invest excess cash in short-term marketable securities. These investments principally consist of overnight sweep accounts. Due to the short maturity of these investments, we have concluded that we do not have material market risk exposure.
