| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) which extended or modified certain corporate tax provisions under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). The OBBB modified certain business deductions, including allowing for immediate expensing of U.S. research & development expenditures, effective in our fiscal year 2026. The OBBB also modified various international tax provisions which were set to change or expire after 2025 under the TCJA. Such modifications, including U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign operations and associated foreign tax credit limitations, are effective in our fiscal year 2027. The changes resulting from the tax provisions of OBBB are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations. The European Union and other countries, including Switzerland, have enacted, or have committed to enact global minimum taxes, commonly referred to as Pillar II, as proposed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”), effective with our fiscal year 2025. Pillar II in the relevant countries where we operate did not have a material impact on our tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2026. On January 5, 2026, the OECD published details of a side-by-side package for the Pillar II global minimum tax rules. The package includes an extension of the transitional safe harbor and new permanent safe harbor rules, including the exemption of U.S.-parented multinationals from certain Pillar II global minimum taxes effective in our current fiscal year. We do not expect the package to have material impact on our financial results and will continue to monitor legislative updates in our operating jurisdictions. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2026 is based on our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2027, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they are incurred. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was 25 percent, as compared to 26 percent for the same period in prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate year-over-year is primarily due to higher excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation compared to prior year. We are subject to income tax examinations in various jurisdictions with respect to fiscal years after 2015. The timing and potential resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain. While we continue to measure our uncertain tax positions, the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued. It is also reasonably possible that a material reduction of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months, impacting our effective tax rate. The actual amount could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements and tax interpretations.
