We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in interest rates on any floating-rate borrowings we make under our Revolving Credit Facility or Term Loan or other debt or other capital instruments that bear interest. Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan will bear interest at floating rates based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. Accordingly, fluctuations in market interest rates may increase or decrease our interest expense, which will in turn, decrease or increase our net income and cash flow. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on both the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to the discussion in the Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities section above for more details. Our interest rate risk management strategy is intended to stabilize cash flow requirements by maintaining interest rate swaps to convert certain variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Refinancing of any of our debt instruments would also be subject to market conditions at the time of such refinancing and our operational performance, which could require principal paydowns and equity injections due to limited financing sources being available at the time.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to foreign currency exchange risk or other relevant market rates or prices.
