The foreign exchange impact is the difference between the current period revenue in U.S. Dollars and the current period constant currency revenue ($4,015.6 million less $3,973.2 million and $7,706.0 million less $7,722.8 million for the Total column for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively).

Changes in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. Dollar affect our results of operations and financial position. For the most part, because the revenue and expense of our foreign operations are both denominated in the same local currency, the economic impact on operating margin is minimized. Assuming exchange rates at July 14, 2025 remain unchanged, we expect the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates will be a positive 1.0% for the third quarter and positive 1.0% for the full year. Based on our acquisition and disposition activity completed to date, we expect the net impact on revenue to remain flat for both the third quarter and the full year.

For the most part, because the revenue and expense of our foreign operations are both denominated in the same local currency, the economic impact on operating margin is minimized. Assuming exchange rates at October 17, 2025 remain unchanged, we expect the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates will be a positive 2.0% for the fourth quarter and positive 1.0% for the full year. Based on our acquisition and disposition activity completed to date, we expect the net impact on revenue to reduce revenue by 1.0% for the fourth quarter and be flat for the full year.

We measure cost of services in two distinct categories: salary and service costs and occupancy and other costs. As a service business, salary and service costs make up a significant portion of our operating expenses and substantially all these costs comprise the essential components directly linked to the delivery of our services. Salary and service costs include employee compensation and benefits, freelance labor, third-party service costs, and third-party incidental costs. Third-party service costs include vendor costs when we act as principal in providing services to our clients. Third-party incidental costs that are required to be included in revenue primarily consist of client-related travel and incidental out-of-pocket costs that are billed back to the client directly at our cost. Occupancy and other costs consist of the indirect costs related to the delivery of our services, including office rent and other occupancy costs, equipment rent, technology costs, general office expenses and other expenses. Adverse and beneficial fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates from period to period impact our results of operations and financial position when we translate our financial statements from local foreign currency exchange rates to the U.S. Dollar. However, substantially all of our foreign operations transact business in their local currency, mitigating the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on our operating margin percentage. As a result, the changes in our operating expenses period-over-period from foreign currency translation were in line with the percentage impact from changes in foreign currencies on revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
