Interest Rate Risk
Changes in interest rates can cause interest charges to fluctuate on our variable rate debt. Variable rate debt as of June 30, 2026 consisted of $1.1 billion under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility, $695.0 million under the 2021 Credit Facility and $1.0 billion under the 2021 Term Loan and $3.2 million of debt entered into by our Data Centers business in connection with an acquisition of a multi-tenant data facility in Denver, Colorado, which is denominated in U.S. Dollars and is payable in monthly installments through March 31, 2028. A 10% increase in current interest rates would result in an additional $6.2 million of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily in connection with our foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures internationally. Any transaction denominated in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar is reported in U.S. Dollars at the applicable exchange rate. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at exchange rates in effect at the end of the applicable fiscal reporting period and all revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period. The cumulative translation effect is included in equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss. We may enter into additional foreign currency financial instruments in anticipation of future transactions to minimize the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, 33% of our revenues and 42% of our total operating expenses were denominated in foreign currencies.
As of June 30, 2026, we have incurred intercompany debt that is not considered to be permanently reinvested and similar unaffiliated balances that were denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary in which it is recorded. As this debt had not been designated as being a long-term investment in nature, any changes in the foreign currency exchange rates will result in unrealized gains or losses, which will be included in our determination of net income. An adverse change of 10% in the underlying exchange rates of our unsettled intercompany debt and similar unaffiliated balances would result in $43.3 million of unrealized losses that would be included in Other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, we have 7.5 billion EUR (approximately $8.6 billion) denominated debt outstanding, of which approximately 4.7 billion EUR (approximately $5.4 billion) is designated as a non-derivative net investment hedge. An adverse change of 10% in the underlying exchange rates of our outstanding EUR debt not designated as a non-derivative net investment hedge would result in $0.4 billion of foreign currency losses that would be included in Other expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
