Our exposure to market risks primarily consists of interest rate risk associated with our variable rate debt, fixed rate debt when refinancing, prices of certain commodities, and foreign currency exchange rate risks. From time to time, we employ financial instruments to manage the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates, diesel and unleaded fuel, and foreign currencies. See Note 14, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for more information.
Interest rate risk: Our earnings may be affected by changes in interest rates on the ABL Facility and Floor Plan Facilities. The interest rates applicable to any loans under the ABL Facility are based, at the option of the borrowers, on (i) a floating rate based on the SOFR (for loans denominated in U.S. dollars) or Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (for loans denominated in Canadian dollars) plus an initial margin of 1.75% or (ii) CBFR (for loans denominated in U.S. dollars) or the Canadian Prime Rate (for loans denominated in Canadian dollars) less an initial margin of 0.75%, in each case, where margin is adjusted under the ABL Facility based on the quarterly average excess availability under the ABL Facility. The interest rates applicable to any loans under various Floor Plan Facilities (“Floor Plan Rates”) are based on a wide range of benchmark rates (including SOFR, Prime, Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index, and the Canadian Bankers' Acceptance Rate) plus an applicable margin. As of June 30, 2026 the lowest Floor Plan Rate was SOFR plus an initial margin of 2.75%, and the highest was SOFR plus a margin of 5.1145% per annum, excluding OEM subsidies on the Floor Plan Facilities.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $211.6 million and $213.6 million, respectively, outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $339.7 million and $313.6 million, respectively, outstanding borrowings under the Floor Plan Facilities. As of June 30, 2026, based upon the amount of our variable rate debt outstanding, each one percentage point increase in the interest rates applicable to our variable rate debt would reduce our annual pre-tax earnings by $3.8 million. The amount of variable rate indebtedness outstanding may fluctuate significantly. See Note 8, Floor Plans, and Note 9, Long-Term Debt, in our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning the terms of our variable rate debt.
We have a fixed rate on the Notes of $500.0 million which are due in 2029. We do not have any exposure to changing interest rates as of June 30, 2026 on the fixed rate Notes. For additional information concerning the terms of our fixed rate debt, see Note 9, Long-Term Debt.

Commodity price risk: The market prices of diesel and unleaded fuels are unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly. Due to the volume of fuel we purchase each year, a significant increase in the price of fuel could adversely affect our business and reduce our operating margins. To manage a portion of this risk, we enter into fixed price swap contracts to purchase gasoline and diesel fuel related to forecasted fuel purchases. For the purchases of unleaded and diesel fuel that we expect to purchase at market prices in the next 12 months, each $1.00 per gallon increase in the price of diesel and unleaded fuel, holding other variables constant, would not have a material impact on our pre-tax income when including the fixed price swap contracts.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk: Due to our international operations, a portion of our revenues, cost of revenues, and operating expenses are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Changes in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar and European currencies affect the translated value and relative level of revenues and net income (loss) that we report from one period to the next. Based upon balances and exchange rates as of June 30, 2026, holding other variables constant, we believe that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in all applicable foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
