We are exposed to market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates, in the ordinary course of our business.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, and the functional currency of our subsidiaries is either their local currency or the U.S. dollar, depending on the circumstances. While the majority of our revenue and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, we have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our net income (loss) as a result of transaction gains or losses related to revaluing certain asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiaries in which they are recorded. To date, these fluctuations have not been material. We have not engaged in hedging activities relating to our foreign currency exchange risk, although we may do so in the future. We do not believe a 10% increase or decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar would have materially affected our foreign currency gain or loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30, 2026, we held cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1,274.9 million. Our cash equivalents and marketable securities primarily consist of short-duration fixed income securities, including government and investment-grade corporate debt securities and money market funds, and our investment policy is meant to preserve capital and maintain liquidity. Changes in interest rates affect the interest income we earn on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and the fair value of our cash equivalents and marketable securities. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have decreased the market value of our cash equivalents and marketable securities by $5.0 million and $8.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026, the net carrying amount of the Notes was $981.1 million. Changes in interest rates do not affect the interest expense incurred on the Notes as the Notes bear interest at fixed rates and are carried at amortized cost. However, the fair value of the Notes as described in Note 2 will fluctuate with movements in market interest rates.
