Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation, New Accounting Standards, and Significant Accounting Policies	1. Basis of Presentation, New Accounting Standards, and Significant Accounting Policies General World Kinect Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Florida in July 1984 and, along with its consolidated subsidiaries, is referred to collectively in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("10-Q Report") as "World Kinect," "we," "our" and "us." We are a global energy management company offering fulfillment and related services across the aviation, marine, and land-based transportation sectors. We also supply natural gas and power in the United States and Europe along with a broad suite of other sustainability-related products and services. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes include our parent company and all subsidiaries where we exercise control, and include the operations of acquired businesses after the completion of their acquisition. The decision of whether or not to consolidate an entity requires consideration of majority voting interests, as well as effective economic or other control over the entity. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2024 10-K Report"). All intercompany transactions among our businesses have been eliminated. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been made for the interim periods reported. The information included in this 10-Q Report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in our 2024 10-K Report. Due to rounding, certain amounts may not add; however, all percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts. New Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted Income Taxes. Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, was issued in December 2023. ASU 2023-09 amends the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes, to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by amending the required annual rate reconciliation disclosures as well as requiring disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. As amended, the rate reconciliation disclosure will be required to be presented on an annual basis in both percentages and reporting currency amounts, with consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information. The ASU also includes amendments intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures and eliminate certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to identify potential impacts to the Company's Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and processes and intends to provide the amended disclosures in our Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. Expense Disaggregation. ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, was issued in November 2024. ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements at each interim and annual period. The amendments require disclosure of the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities included in each relevant expense caption. The amendments also require disclosure of certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current guidance in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements, a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the entity's definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the update or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to identify potential impacts to the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and processes. There are no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted by us that are expected, upon adoption, to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or processes. Securities and Exchange Commission Climate Rules In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted final rules requiring registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the rules pending judicial review. In March 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the rules. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no significant changes in the Company's accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2024 10-K Report. The significant accounting policies we use for quarterly financial reporting are disclosed in Note 1. Basis of Presentation, New Accounting Standards, and Significant Accounting Policies of the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2024 10-K Report.
