We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Information related to quantitative and qualitative disclosure about this market risk is set forth below.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Currency exchange rate fluctuations may impact our results of operations and cash flows. Foreign currency translation gains and losses arising primarily from changes in exchange rates on foreign currency transactions and balances are not hedged and are recorded in Other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We do not trade in financial instruments for speculative purposes. Business is generally transacted in a single currency not requiring meaningful currency transaction costs. As such, as of June 30, 2026, a 10% change in exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar would not have a material impact on our financial results and position.

Interest Rate Risk
We had no debt outstanding as of June 30, 2026.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $1,145.4 million as of June 30, 2026. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits, cash held in financial institutions and short-term investments, including debt securities purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Our cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We also had investments in debt securities, which are classified as held-to-maturity, of $754.4 million as of June 30, 2026, consisting of corporate bonds, U.S. government treasury bills, commercial paper and certificates of deposit and foreign issuer debt securities. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. The primary objectives of our investment activities are the preservation of capital, the fulfillment of liquidity needs, and the fiduciary control of cash. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
Our held-to-maturity securities portfolio is exposed to interest rate risk. Fluctuations in interest rates have a direct impact on the market valuation of these securities. As interest rates rise, market values of fixed income securities fall and vice versa. Certain of the securities are held in an unrealized loss position; we do not intend to sell and believe we will not be required to sell any debt security held in an unrealized loss position before its anticipated recovery. If recovery is not anticipated, we will record an impairment loss through earnings either by establishing a credit allowance or by directly reducing the security’s amortized cost basis if there is an intent to sell. As such, as of June 30, 2026, a 10% change in interest rates would not have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
