| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. If not materially different, certain note disclosures included therein have been omitted from these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim consolidated financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

| Use of Estimates | The Company makes certain estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of operating revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant estimates and judgments made by management include such examples as assessment of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and income taxes. The Company believes that estimates used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable; however, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. |

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” or ASU 2024-03. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 require additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027 and interim period reporting beginning in 2028 on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-05 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)” or ASU 2025-05. The amendments in ASU 2025-05 permit entities to elect a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses on accounts receivable and contract assets. Under this election, entities may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of accounts receivable and contract assets when developing forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)” or ASU 2025-06. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 remove references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The amendments also require entities to begin capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2028 and interim period reporting beginning in 2028, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. The amendments can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or on a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-09 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” or ASU 2025-09. The amendments in ASU 2025-09 clarify aspects of the guidance on hedge accounting and address incremental hedge accounting issues arising from the global reference rate reform initiative. ASU 2025-09 is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and interim periods for the year ended December 31, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments must be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-11 “Interim Reporting (Topic 270)” or ASU 2025-11. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 improve guidance in Topic 270 and clarify disclosure requirements for interim reporting periods without changing the fundamental nature of interim reporting. ASU 2025-11 is effective for the Company’s interim reporting periods for the year ended December 31, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
