Receivables [Abstract]  
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET:
Allowance for credit losses:

We use a current expected credit loss model in determining our allowance for credit losses. Our allowance is based on historical experience, and includes consideration of the aging of the balances, the customer's creditworthiness, current economic conditions, expectations of bankruptcies, and political and economic volatility in the markets/location of our customers, among other factors. Accounts receivable was recorded net of allowance of $10.1 at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 — $8.4).

A/R sales program and supplier financing programs (SFPs):

We are party to an A/R sales program agreement with a third-party bank to sell up to $450.0 in A/R on an uncommitted, revolving basis, subject to pre-determined limits by customer. This agreement provides for automatic annual one-year extensions. This agreement may be terminated at any time by the bank or by us upon 3 months’ prior notice, or by the bank upon specified defaults. We are required to comply with covenants, including those relating to the fulfillment of payment obligations and restrictions on the sale, assignment or creation of liens, with respect to A/R sold under this agreement. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with these covenants. Under our A/R sales program, we continue to collect cash from our customers and remit amounts collected to the bank weekly.

As of December 31, 2024, we participate in three customer SFPs, one with a CCS segment customer and two with ATS segment customers. Pursuant to the SFPs, we sell A/R from the relevant customer to third-party banks on an uncommitted basis. The SFPs have indefinite terms and may be terminated at any time by the customer or by us upon specified prior notice. We utilize the SFPs to substantially offset the effect of extended payment terms required by these
customers on our working capital for the period. Under our SFPs, the third-party banks collect the relevant receivables directly from the customers.

At December 31, 2024, we sold nil of A/R (December 31, 2023 — nil) under our A/R sales program and nil of A/R (December 31, 2023 — $18.6) under our SFPs.

    The A/R sold under each of these programs are de-recognized from our A/R balance at the time of sale, and the proceeds are reflected as cash provided by operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows. Upon sale, we assign the rights to the A/R to the banks. A/R are sold net of discount charges, which are recorded as finance costs in our consolidated statement of operations. Aggregated discount charges incurred on both of these programs was $1.2 in 2024 (2023 — $16.3; 2022 — $10.8).
Contract assets:
A contract asset is recognized when we have recognized revenue but have not yet billed the customer. For performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, revenue recognition occurs at the point the customer is billed and the resulting asset is recorded in A/R. For performance obligations satisfied over time as work progresses, we have an unconditional right to payment, which results in the recognition of contract assets. We anticipate that substantially all contract assets will be invoiced in the following quarter due to the short-term nature of the manufacturing cycle. At December 31, 2024, our A/R balance included $237.9 (December 31, 2023 — $250.8) of contract assets recognized as revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition accounting policy.
