Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate market risk as part of our treasury and investment portfolio, which includes cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities held in readily available checking and money market accounts, as well as debt securities. As part of our investment portfolio, we own financial instruments that are sensitive to market risks. The investment portfolio is used to preserve our capital, provide adequate liquidity and earn returns commensurate with our risk appetite. We invest in instruments that meet the credit quality standards outlined in our investment policy, which also limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issue or type of instrument. These instruments primarily include securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, investment-grade corporate bonds and commercial paper, certificates of deposit and money market funds. These investments are denominated in U.S. Dollars and none are held for trading purposes.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, changes in interest rates did not have a material impact on our historical financial position, our business, our financial condition, our results of operations or our cash flows. Due to the short-term duration of our investment portfolio and the low risk profile of our investments, an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our investment portfolio. However, there can be no assurance that changes in interest rates will not have a material adverse impact on us in the future.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates from contracts with vendors located outside of the United States, for which certain invoices are denominated in foreign currencies. We currently do not have a foreign currency hedging program. Changes in the relative values of currencies occur regularly and, in some instances, could materially adversely affect our business, our financial condition, our results of operations or our cash flows.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, changes in foreign currency exchange rates did not have a material impact on our historical financial position, our business, our financial condition, our results of operations or our cash flows. Due to the relatively small number of contracts with vendors located outside of the United States denominated in foreign currencies, an immediate 10% change in a foreign currency exchange change would not have a material effect on our historical financial position, our business, our financial condition, our results of operations or our cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse impact on us in the future.
