Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Financial Instruments | 11. Financial Instruments Derivatives The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to the global nature of its operations and certain commodity risks. In order to manage these risks, the Company has hedged portions of its forecasted sales and purchases which occur within the next twelve months that are denominated in non-functional currencies, with currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had contracts with total notional amounts of $153,054 and $171,425, respectively, to exchange currencies, principally euro, pound sterling, Swedish krona, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, and Swiss franc. The Company believes it is probable that all forecasted cash flow transactions will occur. In addition, the Company had outstanding contracts with a total notional amount of $91,892 and $84,867 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that are not designated as hedging instruments. These instruments are used to reduce the Company's exposure for operating receivables and payables that are denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains and losses on these contracts are recorded in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. The following table sets forth the fair values of derivative instruments held by the Company as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the balance sheet lines in which they are recorded:
| Fair Value Asset (Liability) |  |
| September 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023 |  | Balance Sheet Caption
Foreign currency forward | $ | 1,188 |  |  | $ | 1,675 |  |  | Prepaid and other current assets
Foreign currency forward | (1,531) |  |  | (874) |  |  | Other accrued expenses
For a cash flow hedge, the change in estimated fair value of a hedging instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss), net of tax as a separate component of the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and is reclassified into revenues or cost of goods and services in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings during the period in which the hedged transaction is settled. The amount of gains or losses from hedging activity recorded in earnings is not significant, and the amount of unrealized gains and losses from cash flow hedges that are expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months is not significant; therefore, additional tabular disclosures are not presented. There are no amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, and the Company's derivative instruments that are subject to credit risk contingent features were not significant. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the financial instrument contracts held by the Company; however, nonperformance by these counterparties is considered unlikely as the Company’s policy is to contract with highly-rated, diversified counterparties. The Company has designated the €600,000 and €500,000 of euro-denominated notes issued November 9, 2016 and November 4, 2019, respectively, as hedges of a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated operations. Changes in the value of the euro-denominated debt are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive earnings (loss) of the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings to offset changes in the value of the net investment in euro-denominated operations. Changes in the value of the euro-denominated debt resulting from exchange rate differences are offset by changes in the net investment due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the exposure being hedged. Amounts recognized in other comprehensive earnings for the gains (losses) on net investment hedges were as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Gain (loss) on euro-denominated debt | $ | (45,956) |  |  | $ | 32,773 |  |  | $ | (13,201) |  |  | $ | 262 |
Tax (expense) benefit | 10,468 |  |  | (7,274) |  |  | 3,008 |  |  | (58) |
Net gain (loss) on net investment hedges, net of tax | $ | (35,488) |  |  | $ | 25,499 |  |  | $ | (10,193) |  |  | $ | 204 |
Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
|  |  | September 30, 2024 |  |  |  | December 31, 2023
|  |  | Level 2 |  |  |  |  |  | Level 2 |  |
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Foreign currency cash flow hedges |  |  | $ | 1,188 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 1,675 |  |  |
Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Foreign currency cash flow hedges |  |  | 1,531 |  |  |  |  |  |  | 874 |  |  |
The derivative contracts are measured at fair value using models based on observable market inputs such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; therefore, they are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition to fair value disclosure requirements related to financial instruments carried at fair value, accounting standards require disclosures regarding the fair value of all of the Company's financial instruments. The estimated fair value of long-term debt at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, w as $3,025,107 and $2,950,401, respectively. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and is, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
