Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment and Geographical Data
The reportable segments are organized based on products and were determined in accordance with how our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), develops and executes global strategies to drive growth and profitability. These strategies include global plans for branding and product positioning, technology, research and development programs, cost reductions including supply chain management, and capacity and capital investments for each of these businesses.
The Company’s operating model includes some shared business functions across the segments, including product warehousing and distribution, transaction processing functions and, in most cases, a combined sales force and management teams. The Company applies a fully allocated cost basis, in which shared business functions are allocated among the segments. Such allocations are estimates and do not represent the costs of such services if performed on a stand-alone basis.
The measure of segment performance utilized by our CODM is segment profit. Segment profit excludes general corporate expenses and overheads; intangible amortization expense; interest and other expense, net; restructuring and related costs, including impairment charges; and certain U.S. GAAP items that management does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their unusual or non-recurring nature and which may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company’s financial results in any particular period. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects how the CODM monitors and evaluates segment operating performance, generates future operating plans and makes strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital.
The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report Form 10-K. Accounting policies have been applied consistently by all segments within the Company for all reporting periods.
