Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments to manage certain of our market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Interest Rate Swaps We have entered into interest rate swaps with the objective of reducing our exposure to interest rate risk for a portion of our variable-rate debt interest payments. At both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our interest rate swaps expiring in March 2021 had notional amounts of $1.55 billion and our interest rate swaps expiring in December 2025 had notional amounts of $1.5 billion. These interest rate swaps are designated cash flow hedges as the changes in the future cash flows of the swaps are expected to offset changes in expected future interest payments on the related variable-rate debt. There were no other interest rate swaps outstanding as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018. Gains or losses on the interest rate swaps are reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into Interest expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the same period or periods during which the related hedged interest payments affect earnings. Through March 31, 2019, the swaps were highly effective cash flow hedges. Foreign Currency Contracts We have entered into foreign currency forward and swap contracts with the objective of reducing our exposure to earnings volatility arising from foreign currency fluctuations associated with certain foreign currency denominated intercompany receivables and payables. The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of these contracts match those of the underlying intercompany receivables or payables. Our foreign currency contracts are designated cash flow hedges as the future cash flows of the contracts are expected to offset changes in intercompany receivables and payables due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Gains or losses on the foreign currency contracts are reported as a component of AOCI. Amounts are reclassified from AOCI each quarter to offset foreign currency transaction gains or losses recorded within Other (income) expense when the related intercompany receivables and payables affect earnings due to their functional currency remeasurements. Through March 31, 2019, all foreign currency forward and swap contracts related to intercompany receivables and payables were highly effective cash flow hedges. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, foreign currency forward and swap contracts outstanding related to intercompany receivables and payables had total notional amounts of $456 million. As of March 31, 2019 these foreign currency forward and swap contracts have durations that expire in 2019 or 2020. As a result of the use of interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts, the Company is exposed to risk that the counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into contracts with major financial institutions carefully selected based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and continually assess the creditworthiness of counterparties. At March 31, 2019, all of the counterparties to our interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts had investment grade ratings according to the three major ratings agencies. To date, all counterparties have performed in accordance with their contractual obligations. Gains and losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges recognized in OCI and reclassifications from AOCI into Net Income:

| Gains/(Losses) Recognized in OCI |  | (Gains)/Losses Reclassified from AOCI into Net Income

As of March 31, 2019, the estimated net gain included in AOCI related to our cash flow hedges that will be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months is $22 million, based on current LIBOR interest rates. See Note 14 for the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities.
