Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. To reduce its exposure to such risks, the Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments. The decision of whether and when to execute derivative instruments, along with the duration of the instrument, may vary from period to period depending on market conditions, the relative costs of the instruments and capacity to hedge. The duration is linked to the timing of the underlying exposure, with the connection between the two being regularly monitored. The Company does not use any financial contracts for trading purposes. The derivative contracts contain credit risk to the extent that our bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The amount of such credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains, if any, in such contracts. Such risk is minimized by limiting those counterparties to major financial institutions of high credit quality and spreading the risk among such financial institutions.

The Company conducts business in various locations throughout the world and is subject to market risk associated with certain product sourcing activities and intercompany cash flows due to changes in the value of foreign currencies in relation to its reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. The Company’s foreign currency management objective is to mitigate the potential impact of currency fluctuations on the value of its U.S. dollar cash flows and to reduce the variability of certain cash flows at the subsidiary level. The Company actively manages certain forecasted foreign currency exposures and uses a centralized currency management operation to take advantage of potential opportunities to naturally offset foreign currency exposures. The Company utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and Mexican peso. The Company's foreign currency exchange contracts, with maturities of less than one year, met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges during the periods presented.

The Company mitigates its interest rate risk by managing its exposure to fixed and variable rates while attempting to optimize its interest costs. The Company enters into interest rate swap transactions to hedge the variable interest rate payments for the Term Loan Facility. In connection with these contracts, the Company pays interest based upon a fixed rate and receives variable rate interest payments based on adjusted Term SOFR plus the applicable add-on percentage as defined. These contracts, with maturities through February 2026, met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges during the periods presented.

Commodity hedging contracts are entered into in order to manage fluctuating market prices of certain purchased commodities and raw materials that are integrated into the Company’s end products. The Company's commodity contracts, with maturities of less than one year, met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges during the periods presented.
