Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | 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. On July 25, 2016, we agreed with multiple counterparties to swap the variable LIBOR-based component of the interest payments related to $1.55 billion of borrowings under our Term Loan B Facility. These interest rate swaps will expire in July 2021. Further, on May 14, 2018 we entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate on $1.5 billion of borrowings under our Term Loan B Facility from the date the July 2016 swaps expire through March 2025. The interest rate swaps executed in May 2018 will result in a fixed rate of 4.81% on the swapped portion of the Term Loan B Facility from July 2021 through March 2025. 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 December 31, 2019. Gains or losses on the interest rate swaps are reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into Interest expense, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income in the same period or periods during which the related hedged interest payments affect earnings. Through December 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 December 31, 2019, all foreign currency contracts related to intercompany receivables and payables were highly effective cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, foreign currency contracts outstanding related to intercompany receivables and payables had total notional amounts of $20 million and $459 million, respectively. During the third quarter of 2019 we terminated foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $430 million and settled the related intercompany receivable and payable. As a result of this termination and settlement, we reclassified $4 million of unrealized loss from AOCI to Interest expense, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income. We received $3 million in cash from the counterparty upon termination, which represented the fair value of the contracts at the time of termination. Our remaining foreign currency forward contracts all have durations that expire in 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 December 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
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017 |  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017
Interest rate swaps | $ | (71 | ) |  | $ | (3 | ) |  | $ | 4 |  |  | $ | (17 | ) |  | $ | (19 | ) |  | $ | 2 |
Foreign currency contracts | 20 |  |  | 22 |  |  | (56 | ) |  | (8 | ) |  | (20 | ) |  | 56 |
Income tax benefit/(expense) | 16 |  |  | 1 |  |  | 1 |  |  | 4 |  |  | 5 |  |  | (3 | )
As of December 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 $6 million, based on current LIBOR interest rates. See Note 13 for the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities.
