Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant market rate or price changes. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates, and the Company regularly evaluates the exposure to such changes. The Company addresses its exposure to market risks, principally the market risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, through a controlled program of risk management that includes, from time to time, the use of derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency swaps, and interest rate swap agreements. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Approximately 13.9% and 13.4% of the Company’s revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively, were denominated in currencies other than the USD. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are reported in USD and, accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates will affect the translation of revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies into USD for the purpose of reporting the Company’s consolidated financial results. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, the most significant currency exchange rate exposures were to the Canadian dollar, Swiss Franc, Euro, and British Pound. Excluding the impacts from any outstanding or future hedging transactions, a hypothetical change of 10% in average exchange rates used to translate all foreign currencies to USD would have impacted income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2026, by approximately $17.1. Accumulated currency translation adjustments recorded as a separate component of Shareholders’ equity were $(39.1) and $156.6 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The Company does not have significant operations in countries in which the economy is considered to be highly inflationary.
The Company earns revenue from service contracts over a period of several months, and in some cases, over a period of several years. Accordingly, exchange rate fluctuations during this period may affect the Company’s profitability with respect to such contracts. The Company is also subject to foreign currency transaction risk for fluctuations in exchange rates during the period of time between the consummation and cash settlement of transactions. The Company limits its foreign currency transaction risk through exchange rate fluctuation provisions stated in some of its contracts with customers, or it may hedge transaction risk with foreign currency forward contracts. At June 30, 2026, the Company had 10 open foreign exchange forward contracts with various amounts maturing monthly through July 2026 with a notional value totaling approximately $424.1. At December 31, 2025, the Company had eight open foreign exchange forward contracts with various amounts maturing monthly through January 2026 with a notional value totaling approximately $238.0.
The Company is a party to USD to Swiss Franc cross-currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $1,200.0, $300.0 maturing in 2029, $300.0 maturing in 2031, and $600.0 maturing in 2034, as a hedge against the impact of foreign exchange movements on its net investment in a Swiss Franc functional currency subsidiary.
Interest Rates
Some of the Company’s debt is subject to interest at variable rates. As a result, fluctuations in interest rates affect the Company’s financial results. The Company attempts to manage interest rate risk and overall borrowing costs through an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt including the utilization of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps.
Borrowings under the Company’s 2026 Term Loan, revolving credit facility, and AR Facility are subject to variable interest rates, unless fixed through interest rate swaps or other agreements. At June 30, 2026, the Company had $750.0 and $550.0 of variable rate debt outstanding under its 2026 Term Loan and AR Facility, respectively. Each quarter-point increase or decrease

in the variable rate would result in the Company’s interest expense changing by approximately $3.3 per year for the Company’s debt currently outstanding under its 2026 Term Loan and AR Facility.
To hedge against changes in the fair value portion of the Company’s long-term debt, the Company is party to fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements for the 2.70% senior notes due 2031 with an aggregate notional value of $500.0 and variable interest rates currently based on the compounded SOFR, plus 1.33%.
