We are exposed to market risks in connection with our business, which primarily relate to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange and inflation risks.
Interest Rate Risk
As of May 2, 2026, we had $1,281.4 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments in a variety of marketable debt securities, including U.S. government, agency securities, and municipal securities, corporate notes and bonds, and commercial paper. Our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our cash equivalents and our portfolio of marketable debt securities are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $8.9 million or an increase of $8.9 million in the market value of our cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments as of May 2, 2026.
As of January 31, 2026, we had $1,236.9 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term and long-term investments, and a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would have resulted in a decrease of $7.3 million or an increase of $7.2 million in the market value.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar or the Mexican peso. A substantial majority, but not all, of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. Our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, which are primarily in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. Our condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk or other derivative financial instruments, although we may choose to do so in the future. We do not believe that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies during any of the periods presented would have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. For all international customer contracts denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, certain of our operating metrics, including ARR, are translated from local currency to U.S. dollar based on the currency exchange rate as of the effective date of the contract.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
