Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to economic risks from interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We may enter into derivative financial instruments to offset these underlying economic risks.
Derivative Designated as Hedging Instruments - Cash Flow Hedges
In order to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with interest payments on intercompany loans denominated in British Pound Sterling ("GBP") and Euro ("EUR"), we have a hedging strategy to enter into foreign currency forward contracts to sell GBP, USD, and EUR and buy EUR, USD, and GBP. These foreign currency forwards are designated as cash flow hedges. Forward points on the forward contracts are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Amounts reported in other comprehensive income related to foreign currency derivative contracts will be reclassified to other gain and (loss) in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings.
To add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements associated with our term loans, we executed variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps are recorded on the consolidated balances sheets at fair value. Changes to fair value are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI, and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
To mitigate the impact of fluctuating interest rates, we have also entered into interest rate swaption agreements, structured as a swaption corridor, in anticipation of issuing USD denominated bonds. Interest rate swaption corridors are a combination of two swaption positions, whereby we purchase a payer swaption, which is an option that allows us to enter into a swap where we will pay the fixed rate and receive the floating rate of the swap, and sell a payer swaption, which is an option that provides the counterparty with the right to enter into a swap where we will receive the fixed rate and pay the floating rate of the swap. For the swaption corridor entered into during March 2023, the combination of purchasing the payer swaption and selling the swaption resulted in a premium being paid of $7.6 million. The interest rate swaptions are designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value of the swaptions have been recorded in AOCI.
Derivative Designated as Hedging Instruments - Fair Value Hedges
Periodically, we enter into and designate fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges. The purpose of these swaps is to manage interest rate risk by managing our mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. These swaps involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts for variable interest rate payments over the life of the swaps without exchange of the underlying principal amount.

We also designate some of our cross-currency swaps as fair value hedges. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge foreign currency risk associated with changes in spot rates on foreign-denominated debt. For these hedges, we have elected to exclude the change in fair value of the cross-currency swaps related to both time value and cross-currency basis spread from the assessment of hedge effectiveness (the "excluded component"). Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps attributable to changes in the spot rates on the final notional exchanges and changes in the value of the hedged assets due to changes in the spot rates are recorded in 'Foreign currency
and derivative (loss) gain, net'. Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps attributable to the excluded components are recorded to Other comprehensive income and will be recognized in Foreign currency and derivative (loss) gain, net on a systematic and rational basis, as net cash settlements and interest accruals on the respective cross currency swaps occur, over the remaining life of the hedging instruments.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We enter into foreign currency exchange swap agreements to reduce the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations between the USD, our reporting currency, and GBP and EUR. These derivative contracts generally mature within one year and are not designated as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. As the currency exchange swap is not accounted for as a hedging instrument, the change in fair value is recorded in earnings through the caption entitled 'Foreign currency and derivative (loss) gain, net' in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

We measure our derivatives at fair value and include the balances within other assets and accounts payable as well as accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheets.
We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties containing provisions under which we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of our indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default.
