| Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 27.0% compared to 29.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the non-deductibility of certain integration and acquisition related costs in connection with the Merger that negatively impacted the effective tax rate in 2025. The effective tax rates for 2026 and 2025 reflect the impact of the lower tax benefit associated with severance and repositioning charges and IPG acquisition related costs. Numerous foreign jurisdictions have enacted legislation to adopt a minimum effective tax rate described in the Global Anti-Base Erosion, or Pillar Two, model rules issued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD"). Under such rules, a minimum effective tax rate of 15% applies to multinational companies with consolidated revenue above €750 million. Under the Pillar Two rules, a company is required to determine a combined effective tax rate for all entities located in a jurisdiction. If the jurisdictional effective tax rate determined under the Pillar Two rules is less than 15%, a top-up tax will be due to bring the jurisdictional effective tax rate up to 15%. We are continuing to monitor Pillar Two legislative developments and the effects of Pillar Two on our business. On January 5, 2026, the OECD released comprehensive administrative guidance on the “side-by-side system” to streamline Pillar Two’s global minimum tax rules, which would exclude U.S. parented groups from certain Pillar Two provisions in recognition of existing U.S. minimum tax rules. The side-by-side safe harbor election will be effective beginning in 2026, once adopted into domestic legislation, with the transitional safe harbor extended through 2027 to facilitate the implementation of this permanent system. Overall, the rules are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law in the U.S., which contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. The legislation does not have a material impact on our financial statements. At June 30, 2026, our gross unrecognized tax benefits were $442.5 million. Of this amount, approximately $426.5 million would affect our effective tax rate upon resolution of the uncertain tax positions.
