The following discussion of the market risks we face contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. Consensus undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as well as in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed or to be filed by us in 2026.
Interest Rate Risk
Our cash and cash equivalents are not subject to significant interest rate risk due to the short maturities of these instruments. As of June 30, 2026, the carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Our return on these investments is subject to interest rate fluctuations.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalent investments, primarily in money market funds and cash held in foreign and domestic bank accounts, of $98.9 million and $74.7 million, respectively. We do not have interest rate risk on our 2028 Senior Notes as these notes have a fixed interest rate. Borrowings made under our 2025 Credit Facility incur interest at a variable interest rate based on SOFR plus an applicable margin and therefore are subject to interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2026, assuming the outstanding balance on our variable rate debt remains constant, we estimate that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in the applicable SOFR rate would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $2.1 million in our interest expense for the next 12 months.
We cannot ensure that future interest rate movements will not have a material adverse effect on our future business, prospects, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. To date, we have not entered into interest rate hedging transactions.

Foreign Currency Risk
Our principal exposure to foreign currency risk relates to investment and intercompany debt in foreign subsidiaries that transact business in functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the Euro and the Japanese Yen. If we are unable to settle our short-term intercompany debts in a timely manner, we remain exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
As we expand our international presence, we become further exposed to foreign currency risk by entering new markets with additional foreign currencies. The economic impact of currency exchange rate movements is often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. These changes, if material, could cause us to adjust our financing and operating strategies.
As currency exchange rates change, translation of the income statements of the international businesses into U.S. Dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results, the impact of which is immaterial to the comparisons set forth in this Form 10-Q.
Historically, we have not hedged translation risks because cash flows from international operations were generally reinvested locally; however, we may do so in the future. Our objective in managing foreign exchange risk is to minimize the potential exposure to changes that exchange rates might have on earnings, cash flows and our financial position. We currently do not have derivative financial instruments for hedging, speculative or trading purposes and therefore are not subject to such hedging risk. However, we may in the future engage in hedging transactions to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Foreign exchange gain (loss) was $0.6 million and $(2.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $2.0 million and $(3.4) million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in foreign exchange gain (loss) was primarily attributable to the translation of certain intra-entity balances in foreign currencies.
Cumulative translation (loss) gain, included in other comprehensive income, was $(1.2) million and $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $(4.8) million and $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
