Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

We use derivative instruments to manage certain of our market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. Our use of foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rates associated with certain foreign currency denominated intercompany receivables and payables is currently not significant.

Interest Rate Swaps

In March 2025, interest rate swaps which reduced our historical exposure to interest rate risk for $1.5 billion of our variable-rate debt interest payments primarily under our Term Loan B Facility expired. Through their expiration in March 2025, these interest rate swaps were highly effective cash flow hedges.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, on April 4, 2025, we entered into new interest rate swaps ("2025 interest rate swaps") to fix the interest rate on $1.5 billion of borrowings, primarily under our Term Loan B Facility, from April 2025 to March 2028. Like the expired interest rate swaps, the 2025 interest rate swaps were 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. The 2025 interest rate swaps will result in a fixed rate of 5.09% on the swapped portion of the Term Loan B Facility (excluding debt issuance costs).

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.

Gains and losses on these interest rate swaps recognized in OCI and reclassifications from AOCI into Net Income were as follows:

Total Return Swaps

We have entered into total return swap derivative contracts, with the objective of reducing our exposure to market-driven changes in certain of the liabilities associated with compensation deferrals into our Executive Income Deferral (“EID”) plan. While these total return swaps represent economic hedges, we have not designated them as hedges for accounting purposes. As a result, the changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings within General and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income largely offsetting the changes in the associated EID liabilities. The fair value associated with the total return swaps as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was not significant.

As a result of the use of derivative instruments, 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, 2025, all of the counterparties to our derivative instruments had investment grade ratings according to the three major ratings agencies. To date, all counterparties have performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

See Note 13 for the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities.
