Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a complete discussion on the Company’s market risk. There have been no material changes in market risk from those disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Refer below for further discussion on commodity cost risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and interest rate risk.
Inflation:
We are subject to market risk from fluctuating market prices of certain purchased commodities and raw materials, including steel, aluminum, copper, petroleum-based resins, certain rare earth metals and diesel fuel. In addition, we are a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including steel, aluminum, rubber and others, which are integrated into our products. While such materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials are subject to price fluctuations. Further, the ultimate cost of certain commodities, raw materials, components and parts can fluctuate based on changes in international trade relations and trade policy, including those related to tariffs. We generally buy commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process. We enter into commodity hedging contracts in order to manage fluctuating market prices of certain commodities such as steel and diesel fuel. Based on our current outlook for commodity prices, excluding the impact of tariffs and related items, we expect total commodities to have a negative impact on our gross profit margins for full-year 2026 when compared to 2025.
Foreign Exchange Rates:
The changing relationships of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies can have a material impact on our financial results.
Euro: We have operations in the Eurozone through wholly owned subsidiaries and distributors. We also purchase components from certain suppliers directly for our U.S. operations in transactions denominated in Euros. Fluctuations in the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate impacts sales, cost of sales and net income or loss.
Canadian Dollar: We operate in Canada through a wholly owned subsidiary. The relationship of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar impacts sales, cost of sales and net income or loss.
Other currencies: We operate in various countries, principally in Europe, Mexico and Australia, through wholly owned subsidiaries. We also sell to certain distributors in other countries and purchase components from certain suppliers directly for our U.S. operations in transactions denominated in these foreign currencies. The relationship of the U.S. dollar in relation to these other currencies impacts sales, cost of sales and net income or loss.
We actively manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates by entering into foreign exchange hedging contracts. During the quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2026, after consideration of the existing foreign currency hedging contracts, foreign currencies had a positive impact on net income compared to 2025. We expect currencies to have a positive impact on full-year net income or loss in 2026 compared to 2025.
The assets and liabilities in all of our international entities are translated at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net in the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Revenues and expenses in all of our international entities are translated at the average foreign exchange rate in effect for each month of the year. Certain assets and liabilities related to intercompany positions reported on our consolidated balance sheets that are denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency are translated at the foreign exchange rates at the balance sheet date and the associated gains and losses are included in net income or loss.
Interest Rates:
We are a party to an unsecured credit facility with various lenders consisting of a $1.4 billion Revolving Loan Facility and a $500.0 million Term Loan Facility. Interest accrues on the revolving loan and term loans at variable rates based on adjusted Term SOFR plus the applicable add-on percentage, as defined in the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2026, there was $459.8 million outstanding on the Revolving Loan Facility and $462.5 million outstanding on the Term Loan Facility. We previously entered into interest rate swaps in order to manage our exposure to fixed and variable interest rates associated with our debt. Those interest rate swap contracts expired during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We expect interest rates to have a positive impact on full-year net income or loss in 2026 compared to 2025.
Our senior notes bear interest at fixed rates. We are subject to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate borrowings as a result of potential changes in prevailing interest rates. Changes in the fair value of fixed-rate borrowings have no impact on the amount of interest incurred, cash flows or our financial position.
