Share Repurchase Program [Abstract]  
Share Repurchase Program 15. Share repurchase program

On August 4, 2021, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock, for aggregate consideration of up to $150 million (the “2021 Authorization”). This authorization, was scheduled to expire on August 31, 2022. On March 1, 2022, the Board authorized an increase in the 2021 Authorization of $300 million, from an aggregate consideration of up to $150 million to an aggregate consideration of up to $450 million. The Board also authorized an extension of the term of the 2021 Authorization, from August 31, 2022 to August 31, 2023.

The Company expects to purchase shares at any time and from time to time, in compliance with applicable federal securities laws, through open-market purchases, block trades, derivatives, trading plans established in accordance with SEC rules, or privately negotiated transactions. The timing of repurchases will depend on factors including market conditions and prices, the Company’s liquidity requirements and alternative uses of capital. The share repurchase program may be suspended from time to time or discontinued, and there is no assurance as to the number of shares that will be repurchased under the program or that there will be any repurchases.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had acquired 253,120 shares under the aforementioned share repurchase programs.

From time to time, the Company acquires shares of its own common stock in the Argentine market and pays for them in Argentine pesos at a price that reflects the additional cost of accessing U.S. dollars through an indirect mechanism, because of restrictions imposed by the Argentine government for buying U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate in Argentina. As a result, the Company recognized foreign currency losses of $108 million and $38 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively, while foreign currency losses for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $45 million and $7 million, respectively.
