We have exposure to several types of market risk, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. See Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for additional information on our policies and how we manage our exposure to such risks.
See Note 9 to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our outstanding senior notes. A hypothetical 100 basis point (1.0%) decrease in interest rates, at June 30, 2026, would have resulted in an increase of approximately $1.2 billion in the estimated fair value of our outstanding debt.

We face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates as the financial results and the financial condition of our businesses outside of the U.S., which represent a substantial majority of our financial results, are translated from local currencies (principally Euros and British Pounds Sterling) into U.S. Dollars. For example, our total gross bookings increased year-over-year by 9% and 12% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, but without the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates our total gross bookings increased year-over-year on a constant currency basis by approximately 8% for both periods. Our total revenues increased year-over-year by 8% and 11% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, including benefits of about 1% and 3%, respectively, from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. See Notes 6, 12, and 15 to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information about foreign currency transaction gains and losses, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and the impact of such changes on the increase in our revenues and operating margins.
See Notes 5 and 6 to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our investments in equity securities of publicly-traded companies and private entities. A hypothetical 10% decrease in the fair values at June 30, 2026 of our investments in equity securities of publicly-traded companies and private entities would have resulted in a loss, before tax, of approximately $45 million being recognized in net income.
