The Company's market risks are discussed in detail in ITEM 7A of Part II of our 2025 Annual Report. Management has reassessed the quantitative and qualitative market risk disclosures described in our 2025 Annual Report and determined there were no material changes to the Company's foreign currency exposure for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Interest Rate Risk
Our primary exposure to interest rate risk is due to our variable-rate debt agreements, including our 2023 Credit Agreement. These variable-rate debt agreements use Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which is subject to fluctuation and uncertainty. As of June 30, 2026, the value of our variable-rate debt was $2,734.1 million. A sensitivity analysis indicates that, holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one hundred basis point increase in interest rates on our variable-rate debt as of June 30, 2026 would cause an estimated reduction in income before income taxes of approximately $27.3 million. We continue to evaluate the interest rate environment and look for opportunities to improve our debt structure and minimize interest rate risk and expense.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
During the year ended 2025, we converted $150.0 million of our 4.00% fixed-rate USD-denominated 2029 Senior Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments thereunder, to fixed-rate DKK denominated debt at rate of 1.9809%. We have designated these cross currency swap agreements as net investment hedges.
