Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivatives Derivatives
The Company has manufacturing, service and sales facilities around the world and thus makes investments and conducts business transactions denominated in various currencies. The Company is also exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and commodity price changes. These financial exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as an integral part of its risk management program.

Derivative financial instruments have been used by the Company to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. On March 24, 2021, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the "2021 Swap") with one bank that commenced on January 31, 2022 and that converted the interest on $100,000 of the Company's one-month LIBOR-based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 1.17% plus the borrowing spread. Effective, April 30, 2022, the Company amended the 2021 Swap (the "Amended 2021 Swap"), such that the one-month SOFR-based borrowing rate replaced the one-month LIBOR-based borrowing rate. The Amended 2021 Swap, which will expire on January 30, 2026, converts the interest on $100,000 of the Company's one-month SOFR-based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 1.075% plus the borrowing spread. On July 19, 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the "Euribor Swap") with one bank that commenced on July 31, 2023, which converts the interest on €150,000 of the Company's Euribor-based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 3.257% plus the borrowing spread. Under the Euribor Swap, €50,000 will expire on July 31, 2026, with the remaining balance of €100,000 expiring on July 31, 2028. On September 12, 2023, the Company entered into six additional interest rate swap agreements (the "2023 Swaps") with six different banks that commenced on September 29, 2023, which convert the interest on $600,000 of the Company's one-month SOFR-based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a blended fixed rate of 4.321% plus the borrowing spread. Under the 2023 Swaps, $50,000 will expire on August 31, 2026, $100,000 will expire on August 31, 2027, $200,000 will expire on August 31, 2028, $50,000 will expire on August 31, 2029 and the remaining balance of $200,000 will expire on August 31, 2030. The execution of the interest rate swap agreements in 2023 did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. These interest rate swap agreements (the "Swaps") are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has various contracts outstanding which primarily hedge recognized assets or liabilities and anticipated transactions in various currencies including the Euro, British pound sterling, U.S. dollar, Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, Korean won, Swedish krona, Chinese renminbi, Mexican peso, Hong Kong dollar and Swiss franc. Certain foreign currency derivative instruments are treated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions. All foreign exchange contracts are due within two years.

The Company does not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes or to manage commodity exposures.

The Company records the derivatives at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, Other Assets, Accrued Liabilities or Other Liabilities depending on their fair value and remaining contractual period. Changes in the fair market value of derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the earnings impact of the hedged transaction. Reclassifications to earnings for the Swaps are recorded through interest expense and reclassifications to earnings for foreign exchange contracts are recorded through net sales. Changes in the fair market value of the foreign exchange contracts that are not designated hedging instruments are recorded directly to earnings through Other expense (income), net.

The fair values of the Amended 2021 Swap were $3,378 and $5,976 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and were recorded in Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods. The fair values of the Euribor Swap were $(6,004) and $(5,485) as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and were recorded in Other Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods. The fair values of the 2023 Swaps were $(25,326) and $(19,984) as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and were recorded in Other Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods. The fair values of the Company's other derivatives were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. See Note 12. The activity related to the derivatives that have been designated hedging instruments was not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods ended September 30, 2024 or 2023. The Company recognized gains of $11,772 and losses of $2,517 related to the foreign exchange contracts that are not accounted for as hedging instruments within Other expense (income), net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recognized gains of $75 and losses of $5,466 related to the foreign exchange contracts that are not accounted for as hedging instruments within Other Expense (income), net, in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Such losses (gains) were substantially offset by net gains (losses) recorded on the underlying hedged asset or liability (the "underlying"). Offsetting net gains (losses) on the underlying are also recorded within Other expense (income), net.
The Company's policy for classifying cash flows from derivatives is to report the cash flows consistent with the underlying hedged item. Financing cash flows during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, include $1,070 and $6,346, respectively, of net cash payments related to the settlement of foreign currency hedges related to intercompany financing.
