| Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Foreign Currency Risk The Company has foreign currency rate exposure to exchange rate fluctuations worldwide with particular exposure to the Euro, British pound sterling, Australian and Canadian dollars, and Mexican peso. The Company uses freestanding foreign currency forward contracts to manage a portion of its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its foreign currency denominated receivables, payables, and forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, the Company has used foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage a portion of its exposure to changes in forecasted foreign currency denominated vendor payments. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no gains or losses relating to contracts designated as cash flow hedges included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). Interest Rate Risk A portion of the debt used to finance the Company’s operations is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The Company periodically uses financial derivatives to strategically adjust its mix of fixed to floating rate debt. The derivative instruments utilized include interest rate swaps which convert fixed rate debt into variable rate debt (i.e. fair value hedges) and interest rate caps (undesignated hedges) to manage the overall interest cost. For relationships designated as fair value hedges, changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded in income, with offsetting adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged debt. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no interest rate derivatives designated as fair value or cash flow hedges. There were no losses on derivatives recognized in AOCL for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.
