We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have generally invested our available cash in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, having initial maturities of three months or less. When necessary, we have borrowed to fund acquisitions.
Interest Rate Risk
We derive revenues from investment earnings related to cash balances maintained in bank accounts on which we are the agent for clients. The balances maintained in the bank accounts will fluctuate. The effect of changes in interest rates attributable to earnings derived from cash balances we hold for clients is offset by changes in interest rates on our variable debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our average daily cash balances of approximately $2.6 billion were maintained in such accounts. We estimate that a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would equal approximately $12.8 million of net income, net of income taxes, on an annual basis.
At June 30, 2026, total variable interest rate debt was approximately $4,856.9 million. As of June 30, 2026, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $48.6 million per year.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, approximately 35% of our revenues were from clients located outside the United States and approximately 24% of our revenues were from currencies other than the United States dollar. The British pound represents the majority of revenues denominated in a currency other than the United States dollar. While revenues and expenses of our foreign operations are primarily denominated in their respective local currencies, some subsidiaries do enter into certain transactions in

currencies that are different from the local currency. These transactions consist primarily of cross-currency intercompany balances and certain trade receivables and payables. As a result of these transactions, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that result in foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which we report in other income, net. The amount of these balances can fluctuate in the future as we bill customers and buy products or services in currencies other than our functional currency (i.e., the United States dollar), which could increase our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. Our exposures to foreign currency exchange rates can also fluctuate as a result of acquisitions. Accordingly, we continuously assess and monitor our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. We do not enter into any market risk sensitive instruments for trading or hedging purposes.
The foregoing risk management discussion and the effect thereof are forward-looking statements. Actual results in the future may differ materially from these projected results due to actual developments in global financial markets. The analytical methods used by us to assess and minimize risk discussed above should not be considered projections of future events or losses.
