Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments Derivative Instruments
We are exposed to various market risks, including foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. We use
derivative instruments to manage these risk exposures. We enter into foreign currency contracts and cross-currency swaps to
help manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk and we use interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk.
We assess the fair value of these instruments by considering current and anticipated movements in future interest rates and
the relevant currency spot and future rates available in the market. Accordingly, these instruments are classified within Level
2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Cash flow hedges
We have interest rate swap arrangements with counterparties to reduce our exposure to variability in cash flows related to
interest payments on our outstanding term loans. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges of the risk associated with
floating interest rates on designated future monthly interest payments. We determine the fair value of our interest rate swaps
by comparing the present value of the remaining fixed payments to the present value of the remaining floating payments,
using discount factors based on interest rate yield curves.
As of March 31, 2026, we have outstanding interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $1,754.0. This amount
includes five swap arrangements currently in effect and two forward-starting swaps that are scheduled to commence on the
October 2026 maturity date of the May 2023 swaps, as further summarized in the table below:

Changes in fair value are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) in the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets, with a corresponding adjustment to the derivative asset or liability. Amounts recorded in AOCL are
reclassified to Interest expense, net in the same period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. As of March 31,
2026, we estimate that approximately $4.4 of pre-tax gain related to interest rate swaps recorded in AOCL will be reclassified
into earnings within the next 12 months. For additional information on changes recorded in AOCL, see Note 6 -
Shareholders' Equity.
Fair value hedges
In June and December 2025, we entered into three cross-currency swaps with a combined notional value of €448.0, maturing
in January 2031, to mitigate foreign currency exposure related to intercompany loans and economically reduce interest
expense. We have designated these swaps as fair value hedges. We elected to assess the effectiveness of these hedges based
on changes in spot rates. We determine the fair value of our cross-currency swaps by comparing the present value of the
remaining cash flows in the non-valuation currency (converted using the month-end spot rate) to the present value of the
remaining cash flows in the valuation currency.
Changes in fair value are recognized as foreign exchange gains or losses within Other operating expense (income), net, and
are intended to offset the foreign exchange gains or losses arising from the remeasurement of the hedged intercompany loans.
Unrealized gains or losses on components excluded from the hedge effectiveness assessment are recorded in AOCL and are
reclassified into earnings over the life of the swaps. For additional information on changes recorded in AOCL, see Note 6 -
Shareholders' Equity.
Net investment hedge
In July 2023, we entered into a €100.0 cross-currency swap maturing in November 2026 to mitigate foreign currency
exposure related to our net investment in various euro-functional-currency consolidated subsidiaries. We have designated this
swap as a net investment hedge. We elected to assess the effectiveness of this net investment hedge based on changes in spot
rates and we amortize the portion of the hedge excluded from the effectiveness assessment to Interest expense, net over the
life of the swap.
Changes in fair value related to the effective portion of the hedge are recorded in AOCL as part of the foreign currency
translation adjustment, with a corresponding adjustment to the derivative asset or liability. Any accumulated gain or loss will
be reclassified into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. For additional
information on changes recorded in AOCL, see Note 6 - Shareholders' Equity.
Derivatives not designated as accounting hedges
We periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities of 180 days or less, to reduce our
exposure to foreign exchange rate risks. These contracts are not designated as accounting hedges. As of March 31, 2026 and
December 31, 2025, the notional amount of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $146.4 and $162.1,
respectively.
We initially recognize these contracts at fair value on the execution date and subsequently remeasure them at the end of each
reporting period. We determine the fair value of these instruments by comparing the notional value of the trade using the
current month-end exchange rate to the notional value of the trade using the trade date exchange rate.
The gain or loss related to the change in fair value for these contracts is recognized within Other operating expense (income),
net. We recognized a loss (gain) from the fair value adjustment of $3.5 and $(2.3) for the three months ended March 31, 2026
and 2025, respectively.

Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
