Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivatives and Fair Value [Text Block] | Note 10. Derivatives All derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Changes in the fair value of derivatives (not designated as hedges) are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability. The Company is exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to the global nature of its operations. In order to manage this risk, the Company utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the exchange rate risk associated with recognized non-functional currency balances. The effects of changes in exchange rates are reflected concurrently in earnings for both the fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts and the related non-functional currency asset or liability. These derivative gains and losses offset foreign currency gains and losses from the related revaluation of non-functional currency assets and liabilities (amounts included in "Other expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings). The U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of these short duration foreign currency exchange contracts w as $18.6 million and $16.7 million at February 28, 2023 and August 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of outstanding foreign currency exch ange contracts was a net asset of less than $0.1 million and a net liability of less than $0.1 million at February 28, 2023 and August 31, 2022, respectively. Net foreign currency (gain) loss (included in "Other expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings) related to these derivative instruments were as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended February 28, |  | Six Months Ended February 28,

Foreign currency loss (gain), net | $ | (16) |  |  | $ | (54) |  |  | $ | 620 |  |  | $ | 128 |
During December 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for the notional amount of $60.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 4.022% to hedge the floating interest rate of the Company's term loan with a maturity date of November 30, 2025. The interest rate swap was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge. The Company uses the interest rate swap for the management of interest rate risk exposure, as an interest rate swap effectively converts a portion of the Company's debt from a floating to a fixed rate. The Company records the fair value of the interest rate swap as an asset or liability on its balance sheet. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap, a net gain of $0.5 million for both the three and six months ended February 28, 2023, is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The Company also uses interest-rate derivatives to hedge portions of our net investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries (net investment hedge) against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. For derivatives that are designated and qualify as a net investment hedge in a foreign operation the net gains or losses attributable to the hedge changes are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) where they offset gains and losses recorded on our net investments where the entity has non-U.S. dollar functional currency. As of February 28, 2023, the notional amount of cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges was $30.5 million. The change in the fair value of the net investment hedge, a net loss of $0.3 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023, is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).
