Other Costs and Expenses [Abstract]
OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES	OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES Other, net is primarily comprised of intangible asset amortization expense, currency-related gains or losses, environmental remediation expense, deal costs and related consulting costs, and certain pension gains or losses. Other, net amounted to $448.8 million, $320.1 million and $274.8 million for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The year-over-year increase in 2024 is primarily driven by an environmental remediation reserve adjustment relating to the Centredale site, as further discussed in Note R, Contingencies, partially offset by lower intangible asset amortization due to the divestiture of the Infrastructure business. The year-over-year increase in 2023 was driven by higher pension and environmental remediation costs as well as write-downs on certain investments, partially offset by income related to providing transition services to previously divested businesses. Research and development costs, which are classified in SG&A, were $328.8 million, $362.0 million and $357.4 million, or 2.1%, 2.3%, and 2.1% of net sales, for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
