Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company's incremental borrowing rate was used as the discount rate when determining the present value of future payments. Lease assets are recognized based on the lease liability plus any prepaid lease payments and excluding lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred for the same periods. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that option will be exercised. The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and current and non-current lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with lease terms of greater than one year. Short-term leases that have an initial term of one year or less are not capitalized. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Capitalized operating leases are included in other assets, other current liabilities and other long-term obligations, and finance leases are included in other property, plant and equipment, other current liabilities and other long-term obligations on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company had operating and financing leases for vehicles, office space and equipment outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 which were not significant to the consolidated financial statements.
