Effects of Changing Prices
We are exposed to the effects of commodity price fluctuations in the cost of ingredients of our products, of which flour, sugar, and shortening are the most significant. These costs are subject to fluctuations due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, market conditions, economic and geopolitical uncertainty, demand for raw materials, weather, energy costs, currency fluctuations, supplier capacities, governmental actions, import and export requirements (including tariffs), armed hostilities, and other factors beyond our control. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2026, we continued to experience headwinds from commodity inflation globally. We have undertaken efforts to effectively manage inflationary cost increases through rapid inventory turnover and reduced inventory waste, and increased focus on resiliency of our supply chains. Additionally, from time to time we may enter into forward contracts for supply through our vendors for raw materials which are ingredients of our products or which are components of such ingredients, including wheat, sugar, and vegetable oil.
We are also exposed to the effects of commodity price fluctuations in the cost of gasoline used by our delivery vehicles. To mitigate the risk of fluctuations in the price of our fuel purchases, we may directly purchase commodity futures contracts.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates on any borrowings under our debt facilities, which bear interest based on the one-month SOFR (with a floor of zero). Generally, interest rate changes could impact the amount of our interest paid and, therefore, our future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. To mitigate the impact of changes in SOFR on interest expense for a portion of our variable rate debt, we have entered into interest rate swaps on $550.0 million notional of our $804.8 million of outstanding debt under the 2023 Facility and short-term lines of credit as of June 28, 2026, which we account for as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swap agreements are scheduled to mature in March 2028. Based on the $254.8 million of unhedged outstanding debt as of June 28, 2026, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the one-month SOFR would result in a $2.5 million increase or decrease, respectively, in interest expense for a 12-month period, based on the daily average of the one-month SOFR for the quarter ended June 28, 2026.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk on the operations of our subsidiaries that have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, whose revenues accounted for approximately 35% of our total net revenues during the first two quarters ended June 28, 2026. A substantial majority of these revenues, or approximately $117.3 million through the quarter ended June 28, 2026, were attributable to subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the Canadian dollar, the British pound sterling, the Euro, the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar, and the Mexican peso. A 10% increase or decrease in the average exchange rate of these currencies against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a decrease or increase, respectively, of approximately $11.7 million in our total net revenues for the two quarters ended June 28, 2026.
From time to time, we engage in foreign currency exchange and credit transactions with our non-U.S. subsidiaries, which we typically hedge. To date, the impact of such transactions, including the cost of hedging, has not been material. We do not engage in foreign currency or hedging transactions for speculative purposes.
