Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to interest rate, currency, credit and liquidity risks. Our executive board oversees the management of these risks supported by a financial risk committee that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for us. The financial risk committee provides assurance to our executive board that our financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with our policies and risk objectives. The most significant financial risks to which we are exposed include the risks discussed below.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to changes in interest rates relates to investments in deposits and to changes in the interest for overnight deposits and marketable securities. Changes in the general level of interest rates may lead to an increase or decrease in the fair value of these investments. 

In February 2024, we completed a private offering of $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, which mature on February 1, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The Notes accrue interest payable semiannually at a fixed rate of 2.50% per annum, commencing August 1, 2024. Issuance costs totaling $13.4 million are being amortized as interest expense at an effective rate of 3.06% over the life of the Notes. Given the fixed interest rate, the Company is not subject to interest rate risk with respect to these Notes. However, changes in market interest rates could affect the fair value of the Notes and the price of our ADSs, influencing the decision of noteholders to convert their Notes.

We are currently not subject to interest rate risks related to any other liabilities shown in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to fluctuations in value of foreign currency cash and cash equivalents balances held by our main operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom, our operating activities in foreign subsidiaries, and outsourced supplier agreements denominated in currencies other than functional currency. We minimize foreign currency risk by maintaining cash and cash equivalents of each currency at levels sufficient to meet foreseeable expenditure to the extent practical.

Our cash and cash equivalents were $498.4 million and $455.7 million as of September 30, 2025 and December
