Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We occasionally use derivative financial instruments to reduce our market risk to changes in interest rates on our variable rate borrowings. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in other current and long-term assets, and other current and long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. For derivative financial instruments that have been formally designated as cash flow interest rate hedges (“interest rate swap agreements”), provided that the hedging instrument is highly effective, the entire change in the fair value of the derivative will be deferred and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in the consolidated balance sheets. When the underlying hedged transaction is realized (i.e., when the interest payments on the underlying borrowing are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations), the gain/loss included in AOCI is recorded in earnings and reflected on the same line as the gain/loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk (i.e., interest expense). At the inception of each transaction, we formally document the hedge relationship, including the identification of the hedge instrument, the related hedged items, the effectiveness of the hedge, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies.

Other than the addition of the foregoing accounting policy, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Note 1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Standards that are not yet adopted as of June 30, 2022

The following table provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted as of June 30, 2022, and that could have an impact on our financial statements:

Standard	Description	Date of adoption / Effective date	Effects on the financial statements or other significant matters

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting	This standard is intended to provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The new standard is applicable to contracts that reference LIBOR, or another reference rate, expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform.	Effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022	The new standard may be applied as of the beginning of an interim period that includes March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. As certain of our contracts reference LIBOR, including our supply chain financing arrangements, we are currently reviewing the optional guidance in the standard to determine its impact upon the discontinuance of LIBOR. At this time, we do not believe that the new guidance, nor the discontinuance of LIBOR, will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
