A microprocessor then analyzes the changes in light absorption to provide a continuous, real-time measurement of the amount of oxygen in the patient’s arterial blood. Pulse oximeters typically give audio and visual alerts, or alarms, when the patient’s arterial blood oxygen saturation level or pulse rate falls outside of a user-designated range.

Biggest changeAs a result, we may initiate litigation to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, which may result in substantial expense and may divert management’s attention from implementing our business strategy. The laws of foreign countries may not adequately protect our intellectual property rights. Our failure to obtain and maintain FDA clearances or approvals on a timely basis, or at all, would prevent us from commercializing our current, upgraded or new products in the U.S., which could severely harm our business. 36 Table of Contents The failure of our OEM partners to obtain required FDA clearances or approvals for products that incorporate our technologies could have a negative impact on our revenue. If we or our suppliers fail to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements, or if we experience unanticipated problems with our products, these products could be subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market. Failure to obtain regulatory authorizations in foreign jurisdictions may prevent us from marketing our products abroad. Modifications to our marketed devices may require new regulatory clearances or premarket approvals, or may require us to cease marketing or to recall the modified devices until clearances or approvals are obtained. Regulatory reforms may impact our ability to develop and commercialize our products and technologies. If our products cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, we will be subject to medical device reporting regulations, and may need to initiate voluntary corrective actions or in certain circumstances be required to take corrective actions, such as the recall of our products. Promotion of our products using claims that are off-label, unsubstantiated, false or misleading could subject us to substantial penalties. The regulatory environment governing information, cybersecurity and privacy is increasingly demanding and continues to evolve. We may be subject to or otherwise affected by federal and state healthcare laws, including fraud and abuse laws, and could face substantial penalties if we are unable to fully comply with these laws. Legislative and regulatory changes in the healthcare industry could have a negative impact on our financial performance.

We estimate that the potential impact of a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all applicable foreign currency exchange rates from the rates in effect as of January 1, 2022 would have resulted in an estimated reduction of $15.3 million in reported pre-tax income for the year ended January 1, 2022.

ITEM 7A.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk A majority of our assets and liabilities are maintained in the United States in U.S. Dollars and a majority of our sales and expenditures are transacted in U.S. Dollars. However, we also transact with foreign customers in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. These foreign currency revenues, when converted into U.S.

We do not believe our cash equivalents are subject to significant interest rate risk due to their short terms to maturity. As of January 1, 2022, the carrying value of our cash equivalents approximated fair value. We currently do not have any significant risks associated with interest rates fluctuations related to interest expense.
We do not believe our cash equivalents are subject to significant interest rate risk due to their short terms to maturity. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of our cash equivalents approximated fair value. Therefore, declines in interest rates over time will reduce our interest income while increases in interest rates will increase our interest income.
Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. Therefore, declines in interest rates over time will reduce our interest income while increases in interest rates will increase our interest income.
We have entered, and in the future may continue to enter, into interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. Therefore, increases in interest rates over time will increase our interest expense while decreases in interest rates will decrease our interest expense.
Added
We are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates, as the interest rates on our revolving lines of credit and term debt may vary with the federal funds rate and LIBOR. As of December 31, 2022, we had outstanding debt for an aggregate carrying amount of $956.7 million.
Added
Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on interest rates, the exposures that arise during the period and our hedging strategies at that time.
Added
A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would increase or decrease our annual interest expense by approximately $0.6 million based on average debt outstanding, after consideration of our interest rate swap contracts, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and approximately $2.9 million based on average debt outstanding, after consideration of our interest rate swap contracts for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Added
We sponsor multiple defined benefit pension plans covering certain international employees. The aggregate fair value of the plans’ investments was $22.2 million as of December 31, 2022. The plans’ assets may be subject to market risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk, which may affect the value of the plans’ assets and the funding of the plans.
Added
Increases in interest rates globally may impact the value of pension plan assets held by us. When interest rates increase, the value of fixed income securities, such as bonds, may decrease, which can negatively impact the fair value of the pension plan assets.
Added
However, interest rate increases may also improve the funded status of plan by increasing the discount rate used to measure the present value of the pension obligations, and potentially decreasing our requirement to make contributions to the plan. The most significant actuarial assumption affecting pension expense and pension obligations is discount rates.
Added
A hypothetical increase of 100 basis point in discount rates would result in a decrease of approximately $0.3 million in the projected benefit obligation. The impact of interest rate increases on the pension plan assets and funded status may not be predictable and may vary from period to period.
