Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | FINANCIAL I NSTRUMENTS The financial instruments recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, debt obligations and derivative instruments. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate their fair market values. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our other significant financial instruments at December 31:

F AIR V ALUE M EASUREMENTS F INANCIAL I NSTRUMENTS M EASURED AT F AIR V ALUE GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). GAAP classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into a hierarchy consisting of three levels. Level 1 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs represent unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at December 31, 2024 and 2023 consist of our cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments. We measured the fair value of cash and cash equivalents using Level 1 inputs. We measured the fair value of our derivative instruments using the income approach. The fair value of our derivative instruments reflects the estimated amounts that we would pay or receive based on the present value of the expected cash flows derived from market rates and prices. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2. F INANCIAL I NSTRUMENTS N OT M EASURED AT F AIR V ALUE Our bank debt, 3¼% Notes, 4⅛% Notes, 2¼% Notes and 1.4% Notes were recorded at historical amounts in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as we have not elected to measure them at fair value. We measured the fair value of our variable rate bank debt using the market approach based on Level 2 inputs. Fair values of the 3¼% Notes, 4⅛% Notes, 2¼% Notes and 1.4% Notes were estimated based on the quoted market price, a Level 1 input. D ERIVATIVE I NSTRUMENTS AND H EDGING A CTIVITIES We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to manage a portion of our interest rate and natural gas cost exposures. We generally limit our use of derivative financial instruments to interest rate and natural gas swap agreements. We do not engage in trading or other speculative uses of derivative financial instruments. Our interest rate and natural gas swap agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges and changes in their fair values are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholder's equity, and reclassified into earnings in future periods when earnings are affected by the variability of the hedged cash flows. I NTEREST R ATE S WAP A GREEMENTS From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, effectively converting interest rate exposure from variable rates to fixed rates of interest. In 2018, we entered into $100.0 million aggregate notional principal amount of U.S. dollar interest rate swap agreements, which matured in March 2023 and had a fixed rate of 2.878 percent. In March 2023, we entered into $300.0 million aggregate notional principal amount of U.S. dollar interest rate swap agreements which mature in April 2026. These agreements have a weighted average fixed rate of 3.90 percent and were entered into with financial institutions which are expected to fully perform under the terms thereof. In October 2024, we entered into €685.0 million aggregate notional principal amount of Euro interest rate swap agreements to manage a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations for our Euro term loans under the Credit Agreement. These agreements mature as follows: €35.0 million in October 2026; €70.0 million in October 2027; and €580.0 million in October 2030. These agreements have a weighted average fixed rate of 2.43 percent and were entered into with financial institutions which are expected to fully perform under the terms thereof. The difference between amounts to be paid or received on interest rate swap agreements is recorded in interest and other debt expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and such difference was not significant for each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The total fair value of our interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was not significant. N ATURAL G AS S WAP A GREEMENTS We have entered into natural gas swap agreements with a major financial institution to manage a portion of our exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices. The difference between amounts to be paid or received on natural gas swap agreements is recorded in cost of goods sold in our Consolidated Statements of Income and was not significant for each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. These agreements are with financial institutions which are expected to fully perform under the terms thereof. The total fair value of our natural gas swap agreements in effect at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was not significant. F OREIGN C URRENCY E XCHANGE R ATE R ISK In an effort to minimize foreign currency exchange rate risk, we have financed acquisitions of foreign operations primarily with borrowings denominated in Euros. In addition, where available, we have borrowed funds in local currency or implemented certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk related to foreign operations, including net investment hedges related to the Euro term loans under the Credit Agreement and the 3¼% Notes which are Euro denominated. Foreign currency gains (losses) related to our net investment hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss were $61.3 million, $(17.3) million and $32.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. C ONCENTRATION OF C REDIT R ISK We derive a significant portion of our revenue from multi-year supply agreements with many of our customers. Aggregate revenues from our two largest customers (Nestlé S.A. and Campbell Soup Company) accounted for approximately 20.3 percent, 19.8 percent and 20.7 percent of our net sales in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The receivable balances from these customers collectively represented 2.8 percent and 3.4 percent of our trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As is common in the packaging industry, we provide extended payment terms to some of our customers due to the seasonality of the vegetable and fruit packing process. Exposure to losses is dependent on each customer’s financial position. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition, and our receivables are generally not collateralized. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts which we believe is adequate to cover potential credit losses based on customer credit evaluations, collection history and other information. Accounts receivable are considered past due based on the original due date and write-offs occur only after all reasonable collection efforts are exhausted.
