Note 9 – Financial Instruments and Risk Management

We use foreign currency-denominated debt to partially hedge our net investment in our operations in Portugal against adverse movements in exchange rates. On August 3, 2024, a portion of the Euro-denominated debt has been designated and was effective as an economic hedge of part of the net investment in our Portuguese operation. Accordingly, foreign currency transaction gains or losses due to spot rate fluctuations on the Euro-denominated debt are included in the foreign currency translation adjustments in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended January 31, 2025, and within the accumulated other comprehensive items in the shareholder’s equity section of the consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2025 as follows:

On January 31, 2025 we assessed the effectiveness of the net investment hedge and determined that it was no longer highly effective, accordingly, future change in the carrying value of this nonderivative hedging instrument would have to be recorded in the “other expenses” in the consolidated statements of income (loss). To address this situation, the Euro-denominated debt has been

designated as an economic hedge of part of our net investment in our German operation in place of part of our net investment in our Portugal operation effective January 31, 2025.
