Equity [Abstract]  
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMS In October 2021, our Board of Directors authorized two new share repurchase programs. The first program grants management discretion to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of common stock over a period of two years, commencing on October 14, 2021 and expiring on October 14, 2023 (the "2021 Discretionary Program"). The 2021 Discretionary Program is designed to provide management with capital structure flexibility while concurrently managing objectives related to balance sheet leverage, acquisition opportunities, and shareholder returns. The second program authorizes management to repurchase up to 2.5 million shares of common stock, issued to employees under the company's employee stock plans since September 1, 2021 (the "2021 Anti-Dilutive Program"). The 2021 Anti-Dilutive Program is designed to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under the
company's employee stock plans. The 2021 Anti-Dilutive Repurchase Program commenced on October 14, 2021 and expires on October 14, 2023. Share repurchases under both programs can be made from time to time using the company's working capital and a variety of methods, including open-market transactions and trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors, including balance sheet leverage, availability of quality acquisitions and stock price.
The 2021 Anti-Dilutive Program replaces the 2019 anti-dilutive program, which was scheduled to expire in December 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, we repurchased 735,294 shares for $57 million and 303,098 shares for $12 million, respectively, under the 2019 anti-dilutive program.
