Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated in the financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The December 31, 2023 period presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The following tables are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. Certain columns and rows throughout this document may not sum due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain prior year amounts in the financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which provides additional detail to readers of the financial statements. Amounts related to current compensation and benefit obligations that were previously reported within the All other current liabilities and All other operating activities lines on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and Statements of Cash Flows, respectively, have been reclassified to separate lines on the respective financial statements.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future, economic and market conditions, which affect the reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although our estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 requires annual and interim disclosures that are expected to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The provisions of ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 addresses investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.
