Our exposure to market risk primarily relates to interest rate changes on our debt obligations.
Interest Rate Risk
Our debt obligations consist of our $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 7.250% Senior Notes due in January 2031 and $2.0 billion of borrowings under Term Loans due January 2031, which bear interest at a benchmark rate plus a borrowing margin. As a result, we are exposed to market risk of adverse changes in interest rates related to these arrangements.
In order to manage the cost and volatility relating to the interest cost of our variable rate debt, we use interest rate risk management derivative transactions in accordance with our policy. We do not engage in any speculative or leveraged derivative transactions. During the first quarter of 2026, we entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $1.0 billion, which effectively converted a portion of our variable-rate borrowings to fixed rates. These interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges. The effect of our interest rate derivative financial instruments on our consolidated interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was not material.
As of June 30, 2026, approximately 67% of the aggregate principal amount of our total debt portfolio consisted of fixed-rate indebtedness, including the effect of interest rate swap agreements and approximately 33% remained variable. The impact of a 100 basis point change in interest rates affecting our floating rate debt would result in a change in our interest expense, including the effects of our interest rate swap agreements, of approximately $3 million and $5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Counterparty Credit Risk Management
We manage the credit risks associated with our derivative financial instruments through diversification and evaluation and monitoring of creditworthiness of counterparties. Although we may be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties, we do not expect such losses, if any, to be significant. As of June 30, 2026, we were not required to post collateral under the terms of our agreements, nor did we hold any collateral under the terms of our agreements.
