The Company uses derivative instruments to manage foreign currency and interest rate risk as detailed below. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading purposes.

We operate internationally and enter into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Consequently, we are subject to market risk arising from exchange rate movements between the dates foreign currency transactions occur and the dates they are settled. We regularly use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our risks related to most of these transactions. These contracts usually have maturities of 90 days or less and generally require us to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. dollars at maturity, at rates stated in the contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. The settlement of these contracts is recorded in operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments. These financial instruments include cash deposits and foreign currency forward contracts. We periodically monitor the credit ratings of these counterparties in order to minimize our exposure. Our customers represent a wide variety of industries and geographic regions. As of April 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Net assets of our foreign subsidiaries are exposed to volatility in foreign currency exchange rates. We may utilize net investment hedges to offset the translation adjustment arising from re-measuring our investment in foreign subsidiaries.

The Company is a party to various cross currency swaps between the U.S. dollar and Euro, Japanese Yen, Taiwan dollar, Singapore dollar and Chinese Yuan, which were designated as hedges of our net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries to mitigate the foreign exchange risk associated with certain investments in these subsidiaries. Any increases or decreases related to the remeasurement of the effective portion of the hedges are recorded in the currency translation component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within Shareholders' Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the sale or substantial liquidation of the underlying investments. The settlement of these hedges is recorded in investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The interest component is recorded in operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed-rate liabilities due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), with the objective of minimizing the cost of borrowed funds. The Company's interest rate swaps involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The Company's interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as fair value hedges. As a result, the interest rate swaps are measured at fair value and the carrying value of the hedged debt is adjusted for the change in value related to the exposure being hedged, with both adjustments offset to earnings. Accordingly, the earnings effect of an increase in the fair value of the interest rate swaps will be substantially offset by the earnings effect of the increase in the carrying value of the hedged debt.
