31, 2024. For comparative purposes, the same increase in rates would have caused the fair value of our fixed-maturity securities portfolios to decline by $111.8 million, or 4%, based on our actual securities positions as of December 31, 2023.

Canadian Currency Risk. We also have exposure to foreign currency exchange risk to the extent we conduct business in Canada. A strong Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar results in higher levels of reported revenues, expenses, net income, assets, liabilities, and accumulated comprehensive income (loss) in our U.S. dollar financial statements, and a weaker Canadian dollar would have the opposite effect. Generally, our Canadian dollar-denominated assets are held in support of our Canadian dollar-denominated liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2024, 13% of our revenues, excluding realized investment gains, and 13% of income from continuing operations before income taxes were generated by our Canadian operations. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 13% of our revenues, excluding realized investment gains, and 14% of income from continuing operations before income taxes were generated by our Canadian operations.  

One means of assessing exposure to changes in Canadian currency exchange rates is to model the effects on reported income using a sensitivity analysis. We analyzed our Canadian currency exposure for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net exposure was measured assuming a 10% decrease in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. We estimated that such a decrease would decrease our income from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2024 by $12.3 million.

Our investment in the net assets of our Canadian operations is also subject to Canadian currency risk. If we were to assume a 10% decrease in Canadian currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar, the translated value of our net investment in our Canadian subsidiaries in U.S. dollars would decrease by $35.1 million based on net assets as of December 31, 2024. For comparative purposes, a similar decrease in Canadian currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar would have caused the translated value of our net investment in our Canadian subsidiaries in U.S. dollars to decline by $32.9 million based on net assets as of December 31, 2023. Historically, we have not hedged this exposure, although we may elect to do so in future periods. The impact of translating the balance of net
