ARIESNOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Unaudited)

Foreign Currency Risk ManagementThe Company utilizes currency forward, swap and, to a lesser extent, option contracts to selectively hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk when it is practical and economical to do so. The use of these contracts minimizes transactional exposure to exchange rate changes. We designate certain of our foreign currency hedges as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax and reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedges are recorded to Net income (loss) each period.  The Company also uses cross-currency swap contracts to selectively hedge its exposure to foreign currency related changes in our net investments in certain foreign operations. We designate these cross-currency swap contracts as net investment hedges based on the spot rate of the EUR. Changes in the fair value of these hedges are deferred within the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax and reclassified into earnings when the foreign investment is sold or substantially liquidated. Future changes in the components related to the spot change on the notional will be recorded in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") and remain there until the hedged subsidiaries are substantially liquidated. Gains and losses excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are recognized in earnings (Interest expense) over the term of the swap. Gains and losses associated with the settlement of derivative instruments designated as a net investment hedge are classified within investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the gross notional amount of outstanding cross-currency swaps contracts designated as a net investment hedge was €450 million.

Interest Rate Risk ManagementThe Company selectively hedges its exposure to interest rate increases on variable-rate, long-term debt when it is practical and economical to do so. Changes in the fair value of pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap contracts considered cash flow hedges are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax and reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. The terms of the interest rate swaps mirror the terms of the underlying debt, including timing of the payments and interest rates. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the
