Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty may default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to us. We believe our risk of counterparty non-performance continues to be relatively low. We are in regular contact with our customers, suppliers and logistics providers, and to date have not experienced significant counterparty credit-related non-performance.

These components are impacted by global pricing pressures, general economic conditions, market conditions, geopolitical issues, weather, changes in tariff rates, and other factors which are neither predictable nor within our control.
Commodity Price Risk We are exposed to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations for components used in the products we manufacture. These components are impacted by global pricing pressures, general economic conditions, market conditions, geopolitical issues, weather, changes in tariff rates, and other factors which are neither predictable nor within our control.
We attempt to mitigate customer credit risk by monitoring our customers' financial condition and performing ongoing credit evaluations as appropriate. In certain instances, we obtain letters of credit or other forms of security from our customers. We may also purchase credit insurance from a financial institution to reduce our credit exposure to certain customers.
Longer payment terms could adversely impact our working capital requirements, and increase our financial exposure and credit risk. We attempt to mitigate customer credit risk by monitoring our customers' financial condition and performing ongoing credit evaluations as appropriate. In certain instances, we obtain letters of credit or other forms of security from our customers.
We would also suffer a significant financial loss if an institution from which we purchased foreign exchange contracts or swaps, interest rate swaps or annuities for our pension plans, or the counterparty to our TRS Agreement defaults on their contractual obligations (with respect to pension obligations, we retain ultimate responsibility for the payment of benefits to plan participants unless and until such pension plans are wound-up).
We would also suffer a significant financial loss if an institution from which we purchased foreign currency forward contracts or swaps, interest rate swaps or annuities for our pension plans, or the counterparty to our TRS Agreement, defaults on their contractual obligations.
While these contracts are intended to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, our hedging strategy does not mitigate the longer-term impacts of changes to foreign exchange rates.
While these contracts are intended to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on our operating costs and cash flows, our hedging strategy does not mitigate the longer-term impacts of changes to foreign exchange rates. There can be no assurance that our hedging transactions will be successful in mitigating our foreign exchange risk.
We do not hold financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. Exchange Rate Risk Conducting business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar subjects us to translation and transaction risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Although we conduct the majority of our business in U.S. dollars (our functional currency), our global operations subject us to foreign currency volatility.
We do not hold financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. Exchange Rate Risk Due to the global nature of our operations, we are subject to translation and transaction risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
We enter into these contracts to lock in the exchange rates for future foreign currency transactions and balance sheet balances, which is intended to reduce the foreign currency risk related to our operating costs and future cash flows denominated in local currencies.
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our cash flow exposures and swaps to hedge our exposures of monetary assets and monetary liabilities (Economic Hedges), generally for periods of up t o 12 months, to lock in the exchange rates for future foreign currency transactions, which is intended to reduce the foreign currency risk related to our operating costs and future cash flows denominated in local currencies.
See Item 7, MD&A — "Liquidity — Cash requirements — TRS" for a description of our TRS Agreement. Interest payments on our TRS Agreement are based on a variable interest rate and the counterparty's Common Share purchase costs.
See Item 7, MD&A — "Liquidity — Cash requirements — TRS" for a description of our TRS Agreement. At December 31, 2025, our TRS Agreement had a notional quantity of 1.25 million Common Shares and a Strike Price of $288.87 per share. Interest payments on our TRS Agreement are based on a variable interest rate.
If the value of the TRS (as defined in the TRS Agreement) decreases over the agreement's term, we are obligated to pay the counterparty the amount of such decrease upon Settlement.
Also see "Equity Price Risk" below. 83 Equity Price Risk See Item 7, MD&A — "Liquidity — Cash requirements — TRS" for a description of our TRS Agreement. If the value of the TRS Agreement decreases over the agreement's term, we are obligated to pay the counterparty the amount of such decrease upon Settlement.
With respect to our financial market activities, we have adopted a policy of dealing only with counterparties we deem to be creditworthy to help mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaults. We monitor the credit risk of the counterparties with whom we conduct business, through a combined process of credit rating reviews and portfolio reviews.
With respect to pension obligations, we retain ultimate responsibility for the payment of benefits to plan participants unless and until such pension plans are wound-up. With respect to our financial market activities, we have adopted a policy of dealing only with counterparties we deem to be creditworthy to help mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaults.
We consider credit risk in determining our allowance for credit losses, and we believe that such allowance, as adjusted from time to time, is adequate. We assess the financial stability and liquidity of our customers to identify customers we believe to be at greatest risk of default. We also monitor, and/or develop plans intended to mitigate any identified exposures.
We may also purchase credit insurance from a financial institution to reduce our credit exposure to certain customers. We consider credit risk in determining our allowance for credit losses, and we believe that such allowance, as adjusted from time to time, is adequate.
We also provide unsecured credit to our customers in the normal course of business. From time 96 to time, we extend the payment terms applicable to certain customers and/or provide longer payment terms when deemed commercially reasonable. Longer payment terms could adversely impact our working capital requirements, and increase our financial exposure and credit risk.
Customer exposures that potentially subject us to credit risk include our A/R, inventory on hand, and non-cancellable purchase orders in support of customer demand. From time to time, we extend the payment terms applicable to certain customers and/or provide longer payment terms when deemed commercially reasonable.
Removed
As part of our risk management program, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and swaps, generally for periods up to 12 months, intended to hedge foreign currency transaction risk and local currency denominated balance sheet exposures. These contracts include, to varying degrees, elements of market risk.
Added
Although the majority of our cash balances, pricing to customers, and materials costs are denominated in U.S. dollars, a significant portion of our non-materials costs (including payroll, pensions, site costs, costs of 81 locally sourced supplies and inventory, and income taxes) are denominated in various other currencies.
Removed
Exchange rate volatility between the relevant local currency and the U.S. dollar will affect the recorded amounts of our foreign assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in local currency for statutory financial statement purposes.
Added
As a result, we may experience foreign exchange gains or losses on translation or transactions due to currency fluctuations.
Removed
As a result, we are also exposed to foreign currency exchange transaction risk, such that fluctuations in currency exchange rates may significantly impact the amount of translated U.S. dollars required for expenses incurred in other currencies or received from non-U.S. dollar revenues.
Added
As part of our risk management program, we attempt to mitigate currency risk through a hedging program using forecasts of our anticipated future cash flows and monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Removed
Based on the counterparty's Common Share purchase costs at December 31, 2024, a 1% increase in the applicable interest rate would have resulted in an insignificant increase in interest expense in 2024. Also see "Equity Price Risk" below. Equity Price Risk See Item 7, MD&A — "Liquidity — Cash requirements — TRS" for a description of our TRS Agreement.
Added
Economic Hedges are based on our forecasts of the future position of anticipated monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and therefore may not mitigate the full impact of any translation impacts in the future.
Removed
If the price of our Common Shares decreased by 10% (assuming Settlement on December 31, 2024), we would not have been obligated to pay any amount to the counterparty (assuming Settlement on December 31, 2023 — no payment obligation). Credit and Counterparty Risk Management monitors the institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents.
Added
We cannot predict changes in currency exchange rates, the impact of exchange rate changes on our operating results, nor the degree to which we will be able to manage the impact of currency exchange rate changes. Such changes could have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Removed
No significant adjustments were made to our allowance for credit losses in the last three years in connection with our ongoing assessments and monitoring activities. Commodity Price Risk We are exposed to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations for components used in the products we manufacture.
Added
We have entered into agreements to swap the variable interest rates with fixed rates of interest with respect to a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Term Loans.
Added
At December 31, 2025, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was a net unrealized loss of $2.4 million (December 31, 2024 — an unrealized gain of $6.6 million). A downward shift of the forward interest rate curve would result in a further loss.
Added
Based on the notional quantity and the Strike Price in effect as of December 31, 2025, a one-percentage point increase in the applicable interest rate would increase interest expense by $3.6 million annually.
Added
As a result, the TRS Agreement is subject to equity price risk. A one-dollar decrease in our Common Share price would decrease the value of the TRS Agreement as of December 31, 2025 by $1.3 million.
Added
At December 31, 2025, the fair value of the TRS Agreement was an unrealized gain of $7.2 million (December 31, 2024 — unrealized gain of $99.4 million ). Credit and Counterparty Risk Management monitors the institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents. Management's emphasis is primarily on safety of principal.
Added
We monitor the credit risk of the counterparties with whom we conduct business, through a combined process of credit rating reviews and portfolio reviews. We also provide unsecured credit to our customers in the normal course of business.
Added
We assess the financial stability and liquidity of our customers to identify customers we believe to be at greatest risk of default. We also monitor, and/or develop plans intended to mitigate any identified exposures. At December 31, 2025, less than 2% of our gross A/R was over 90 days past due (December 31, 2024 — less than 1%).
Added
A/R are net of an allowance for credit losses of $30.5 million at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 — $10.1 million). We recorded expected credit losses of $18.2 million in SG&A in 2025 (2024 — $2.8 million ; 2023 — $2.2 million ).
Added
Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that we may not have cash available to satisfy our financial obligations as they come due. We manage liquidity risk by maintaining a portfolio of liquid funds and investments and having access to a revolving credit facility, uncommitted intraday and overnight bank overdraft facilities, an A/R sales program and customer SFPs.
Added
Since our A/R sales 84 program and customer SFPs are each uncommitted, there can be no assurance that any participant bank will purchase any of the A/R that we wish to sell.
Added
We believe, however, that cash flow from operating activities, together with cash on hand, cash from accepted sales of A/R, and borrowings available under the Revolver and potentially available under uncommitted intraday and overnight bank overdraft facilities are sufficient to fund our currently anticipated financial obligations, and will remain available in the current environment.
