Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivatives and Hedging Derivatives and Hedging
The Company is exposed to market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the risk related to these exposures, the Company enters into various derivative instruments that reduce these risks by creating offsetting exposures. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when it earns revenues, pays expenses, enters into monetary intercompany transfers or other transactions denominated in a currency that differs from its functional currency.
The Company uses foreign exchange derivatives, typically forward contracts and options, to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on cash flows. These exposures are hedged, on average, for less than two years. These derivatives are accounted for as hedges, and changes in fair value are recorded each period in Other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
In April 2026, the Company entered into three cross-currency interest rate swap transactions with an aggregate notional amount of $1.0 billion, including two $300 million swaps with 7-year and 10-year maturities and one $400 million swap with a 5-year maturity. The Company uses cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge a designated portion of its net investments in certain euro-denominated foreign subsidiaries against foreign exchange risk and accounts for these instruments as net investment hedges. For a net investment hedge, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is recorded in Foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to the extent it is effective as a hedge. The Company has elected to assess hedge effectiveness through the use of the spot method based on changes in fair value attributable only to changes in spot exchange rates. The cross-currency basis spread is excluded from the hedge effectiveness assessment. The Company assessed the hedges relationships and determined that they continued to qualify for hedge accounting as of June 30, 2026. The interest rate spread component is recognized using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instruments in Interest expenses. The bi-annual interest settlements recognized are classified as operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows associated with the exchange of notional principal at the maturity of the swaps will be classified as investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. If the net investments are sold or substantially liquidated, the balance of the Foreign currency translation adjustments accumulated in Other comprehensive income (loss) is recognized within Net income.
The Company also uses foreign exchange derivatives, typically forward contracts and options, to economically hedge the currency exposure of the Company’s global liquidity profile, including monetary assets or liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency of an entity, typically on a rolling 90-day basis, but may be for up to one year in the future. These derivatives are not accounted for as hedges, and changes in fair value are recorded each period in Other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
