Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivatives and Foreign Currency Operations | Derivatives and Foreign Currency Operations Derivatives Derivative financial instruments are generally used to manage certain interest rate and foreign currency risks. These instruments, from time to time, may primarily include interest rate swaps, forward starting interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts. The Company’s forward exchange contracts generally do not subject the Company to exchange rate risk because gains and losses on these instruments generally offset gains and losses on the assets, liabilities and other transactions being hedged. However, these instruments, when settled, impact the Company’s cash flows from operations to the extent the underlying transaction being hedged is not simultaneously settled due to an extension, a renewal or otherwise. On the date when the Company enters into a derivative, the derivative is designated as a hedge of the identified exposure. The Company measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis. Interest Rate Contracts The Company manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix using interest rate swaps. The Company may use fixed and floating rate swaps to alter its exposure to the impact of changing interest rates on its consolidated results of operations and future cash outflows for interest. Floating rate swaps would be used, depending on market conditions, to convert the fixed rates of long-term debt into short-term variable rates. Fixed rate swaps would be used to reduce the Company’s risk of the possibility of increased interest costs. The settlement of interest rate swaps is included in interest expense. Fair Value Hedges At December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.0 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps that exchange a fixed rate of interest for a variable rate of interest plus a weighted average spread. These floating rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges against $500 million of principal on the 6.375% senior notes due 2027 and $500 million of principal on the 6.625% senior notes due 2029 for the remaining life of the notes. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these swaps is offset by fair value adjustments in the underlying debt. The swap designated as a fair value hedge associated with the $100 million of principal on the 4.000% senior notes due 2024, matured on December 2024, concurrent with the maturity of the notes. Cross-Currency Contracts The Company uses cross-currency swaps to hedge foreign currency risk on certain financing arrangements. The Company previously entered into three cross-currency swaps, maturing in January 2025, February 2025 and September 2027, with an aggregate notional amount of $1.3 billion. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company closed two of these cross-currency swaps, ahead of maturities of January 2025 and February 2025, with an aggregate notional amount of $900 million and received total consideration of approximately $27 million. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company entered into three new cross-currency swaps, two maturing in November 2026 and one in November 2028, with an aggregate notional amount of $770 million. Each of these cross-currency swaps was designated as a net investment hedge of the Company’s foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-functional currency subsidiaries with Euro-denominated net assets, and the Company pays a fixed rate of Euro-based interest and receives a fixed rate of U.S. dollar interest. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company entered into two cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.0 billion, maturing in September 2027 and September 2029. These swaps were designated as net investment hedges of the Company’s foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-functional currency subsidiaries with Euro-denominated net assets, and the Company pays a floating rate of Euro-based interest and receives a floating rate of U.S. dollar interest. At December 31, 2024, the Company has cross-currency swaps outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $2.1 billion. The Company has elected the spot method for assessing the effectiveness of these contracts. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized income of $35 million, $38 million and $31 million, respectively, in interest expense, net, related to the portion of cross-currency swaps excluded from hedge effectiveness testing. Foreign Currency Contracts The Company uses forward foreign currency contracts to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate exposure on the cash flows related to forecasted inventory purchases and sales with maturity dates through December 2025. The derivatives used to hedge these forecasted transactions that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gains or losses on these derivatives is deferred as a component of AOCL until it is recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item affects earnings and is included in the same caption in the statements of operations as the underlying hedged item. At December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $337 million notional amount outstanding of forward foreign currency contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted inventory purchases and sales. The Company also uses foreign currency contracts, primarily forward foreign currency contracts, to mitigate the foreign currency exposure of certain other foreign currency transactions. At December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.0 billion notional amount outstanding of these foreign currency contracts that are not designated as effective hedges for accounting purposes and have maturity dates through June 2025. Fair market value gains or losses are included in the results of operations and are classified in other (income) expense, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
