In the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into new cross-currency swap hedging transactions designated as net investment hedges, which are disclosed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements. The related sensitivity analysis disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for our derivatives and non-derivatives designated as net investment hedges has been updated below to reflect the Company's exposure to market risk as of June 30, 2026. There have been no material changes to the Company's market risk other than the aforementioned cross-currency swaps during the six months ended June 30, 2026. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Derivatives and non-derivatives designated as net investment hedges:
The Company designates derivative instruments and foreign currency-denominated debt as hedges of foreign currency risk of net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries (net investment hedges) under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
Cross-currency swaps
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges to mitigate FX exposure related to a portion of the Company’s net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries against changes in exchange rates. The notional values and corresponding interest rates are disclosed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements located in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
•If the euro were to strengthen 10% relative to the U.S. dollar, there would be an approximate $450 million unfavorable impact to the fair value of the cross-currency swaps recognized in OCI.
•If the Hong Kong dollar were to strengthen 10% relative to the U.S. dollar, there would be an approximate $50 million unfavorable impact to the fair value of the cross-currency swaps recognized in OCI.
•If the Singapore dollar were to strengthen 10% relative to the Hong Kong dollar, there would be an approximate $30 million unfavorable impact to the fair value of the cross-currency swaps recognized in OCI.
The aforementioned unfavorable impacts recognized within OCI would be offset by favorable currency translation gains on the Company’s hedged net investments in those foreign subsidiaries.
Euro-denominated debt
As of June 30, 2026 the Company has designated €500 million of the 2015 Senior Notes and €750 million of the 2019 Senior Notes as a net investment hedge to mitigate FX exposure relating to euro denominated net investments in subsidiaries. If the euro were to strengthen 10% relative to the U.S. dollar, there would be an approximate $140 million unfavorable adjustment to OCI related to these net investment hedges. This adjustment would be offset by favorable translation adjustments on the Company’s euro net investment in subsidiaries.
