Interest Rate Risk
We have market risk exposure on various instruments that are based on variable interest rates. Interest rate derivatives may be used to hedge a portion of our variable rate debt, when appropriate, based on market conditions.
We had $4.1 billion of variable rate vehicle floorplan payable at June 30, 2026, and $3.8 billion at December 31, 2025. Based on these amounts, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an approximate change to our annual floorplan interest expense of $40.6 million at June 30, 2026, and $38.3 million at December 31, 2025. Our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to total vehicle floorplan payable is partially mitigated by manufacturers’ floorplan assistance.
We had $635.0 million of commercial paper notes outstanding at June 30, 2026, and $200.0 million at December 31, 2025. Based on the amounts outstanding, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an approximate change to our annual interest expense of $6.4 million at June 30, 2026, and $2.0 million at December 31, 2025.
Our fixed rate senior unsecured notes totaled $3.4 billion and had a fair value of $3.3 billion as of June 30, 2026, and totaled $3.4 billion and had a fair value of $3.4 billion as of December 31, 2025.
As of June 30, 2026, all auto loans receivable outstanding were fixed-rate installment contracts. Financing for these receivables was achieved primarily through both variable- and fixed-rate non-recourse debt. Non-recourse debt includes warehouse facilities and asset-backed term securitizations. Borrowings under the warehouse facilities are variable-rate debt and are secured by the related auto loans receivable. Certain auto loans receivable were funded through term securitizations, which issued notes payable that accrue interest at fixed rates, and are also secured by the related auto loans receivable.

Equity Price Risk
We are subject to equity price risk with respect to certain minority equity investments without a readily determinable fair value. These equity investments are measured using a measurement alternative as permitted by accounting standards and were initially recorded at cost, to be subsequently adjusted for observable price changes. During the period that we hold these investments, unrealized gains and losses may be recorded if we identify observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The carrying amount of our equity investments without a readily determinable fair value was $123.1 million at June 30, 2026, and $50.8 million at December 31, 2025. A hypothetical 10% observable price change for these equity investments would result in an approximate change to gain or loss of $12.3 million at June 30, 2026, and $5.1 million at December 31, 2025. The selected 10% hypothetical change in equity prices is not intended to reflect a best or worst case scenario, as equity price changes could be smaller or larger due to the nature of equity markets.
