We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of business. These risks primarily result from fluctuations in interest rate and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk is influenced primarily by changes in interest rates on interest payments related to our Credit Facilities. We had $1,419.8 million outstanding under our Credit Facilities as of June 30, 2026. See Note 9, “Long-Term Debt Obligations” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for more information. Management periodically reviews our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and periodically implements strategies to manage the exposure. When deemed appropriate, we manage our risk from interest rate fluctuations through the use of derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps to establish fixed rates on variable rate debt.
We entered into several fixed interest rate swap contracts to address the variable interest rate risk on our term loan debt. These interest rate swaps had the economic effect of modifying the variable interest obligations based on SOFR and EURIBOR, each plus a spread associated with $1,419.8 million of the long-term debt so that the interest payable on these effectively became fixed. These fixed interest rate swap contracts are due to mature in February 2027. See Note 11, “Interest Rate Derivatives” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for more information.
As of June 30, 2026, after taking into account the effect of our interest rate swap agreements that were in effect as of such date, all of our long-term debt then outstanding was at a fixed interest rate. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $1,693.1 million as of June 30, 2026. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in banks, money market funds and cash held at online payment companies. Our cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes and such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. The primary objectives of our investment activities are the preservation of capital, the fulfillment of liquidity needs and the fiduciary control of cash. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We report our financial results in U.S. dollars. We conducted a substantial portion of our business outside of the U.S. The financial position and operating results of our foreign operations are consolidated using USD or the local currency as the functional currency. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our financial results due to foreign currency exchange transaction risk and translation risk.
Transaction Risk
Movements in currency exchange rates affect the remeasurement of monetary assets to be received or liabilities to be paid for the settlement of a transaction denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, commonly referred to as foreign currency transaction risk. Remeasurement of such amounts are reported as foreign currency gains (losses) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our 2024 Euro Term Loan obligation is exposed to foreign currency transaction risk, thus changes in the euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate will cause foreign currency gains or losses. A hypothetical 10% change in the euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate applied to the 2024 Euro Term Loan obligation as of June 30, 2026 would have resulted in a $51.6 million change to foreign currency losses or gains as reported in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Excluding the impact to our 2024 Euro Term Loan, a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates applied to net monetary assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2026 denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies would not have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial results. At this time, we do not, but we may in the future enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our foreign currency transaction risk. Accordingly, we expect foreign currency transaction risk to continue to impact our financial results, especially as it relates to our euro denominated 2024 Euro Term Loan.

Translation Risk
Movements in currency exchange rates affect the remeasurement of net asset or liability positions of our foreign operations from their functional currency to our U.S. dollar reporting currency. The consequences of translating such amounts are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
