We are exposed to four primary types of market risks: foreign currency exchange rate risk, credit and counterparty risk, interest rate risk, and commodity price risk.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A significant portion of our customers are outside the United States, while our financial statements are denominated, and our products are generally priced in U.S. Dollars. A strong U.S. Dollar may result in pricing pressure for our customers that are located outside the United States and that conduct their businesses in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Such pricing pressure has caused, and could continue to cause, some of our customers to ask for discounted prices, delay purchasing decisions, or consider moving to in-sourcing supply of components or migrating to lower cost alternatives. In addition, because our business is global and some payments may be made in local currency, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can impact our revenues and expenses and/or the profitability in U.S. Dollars of products and services that we provide or purchase in foreign markets.
We may enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts with financial institutions to protect against foreign exchange risks associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, net investments in foreign subsidiaries, and forecast purchases denominated in foreign currencies. We may hedge portions of forecasted foreign currency exposure, typically for one to three months. In addition, we hold cross-currency swaps between the Euro and U.S. Dollar as a net investment hedge of our acquisition of Direct Conversion. Depending on the spot rate between the Euro and U.S. Dollar at the time of settlement and whether we have sufficient Euros available, we may have to borrow incrementally in U.S. Dollars to settle this obligation. Additionally, we may choose not to hedge certain foreign exchange exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations, the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures, or due to natural offsets among the different exposures. See Note 9, Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities, of the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Credit and Counterparty Risk
We use a centralized approach to manage substantially all of our cash and to finance our operations. Our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities may be exposed to a concentration of credit risk, and our credit facility exposes us to credit risk and interest rate risk.
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and we maintain what we believe to be strong credit controls in evaluating and granting customer credit, including performing ongoing evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and creditworthiness and often using letters of credit or requiring certain customers to provide a down payment.

Interest Rate Risk
Borrowings under our Term Loan Facility, Revolving Credit Facility, and Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility bear interest at floating interest rates. As of July 3, 2026, we had $350 million in borrowings subject to floating interest rates. See Note 6, Borrowings, of the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
We have entered into interest rate derivative contracts with financial institutions to manage exposure to changes in interest rates associated with a portion of our variable‑rate borrowings. These arrangements include interest rate swaps that are intended to synthetically convert a portion of our variable‑rate debt to a fixed rate. Under such arrangements, we generally pay a fixed interest rate and receive a variable interest rate based on a benchmark rate, such as SOFR, thereby reducing exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates over the applicable term. These derivatives are intended to reduce the variability of cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates; however, they would not eliminate all interest rate risk. We may choose not to hedge certain interest rate exposures for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, accounting considerations, the economic cost of hedging, or changes in anticipated debt levels. See Note 6, Borrowings, and Note 9, Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities of the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Our exposure to interest rate risk also relates to our interest-bearing assets, primarily our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. Fixed-rate securities may have their market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates, while floating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fluctuate due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates.
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to market risks related to volatility in the prices of raw materials used in our products. The prices of these raw materials fluctuate in response to changes in supply and demand fundamentals and our product margins and level of profitability tend to fluctuate with changes in these raw materials prices. We try to protect against such volatility through various business strategies. During the three months ended July 3, 2026, we did not have any commodity derivative instruments in place to manage our exposure to price changes.
Sensitivity Analysis
The following table sets forth the potential loss in future earnings, fair value, or cash flows resulting from hypothetical changes in relevant market rates or prices as of July 3, 2026. The actual impact of the respective underlying rates and price changes on the financial instruments may differ significantly from those shown in the sensitivity analysis.
Market Risk Category Hypothetical Change Estimated Annual Impact (In millions) Impact Category
Foreign Currency - Revenue 10% decrease in foreign exchange rates $ 15.7 Earnings
Interest Rate - Interest-Bearing Assets 100 basis point decrease in interest rate of underlying investments 0.1 Earnings
Commodity Price 10% increase in commodity prices $ 3.5 Earnings
