Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
    As part of the Company’s overall risk management practices, the Company enters into financial derivatives to manage its financial exposures to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
    The Company records all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. A qualitative assessment of hedge effectiveness is performed on a quarterly basis, unless facts and circumstances indicate the hedge may no longer be highly effective, in which case the Company would test for effectiveness on a more frequent basis. The changes in fair value for all trades that are not designated for hedge accounting are recognized in current period income. The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets for presentation purposes.
    Credit risk related to derivative transactions reflect the risk that a party to the transaction could fail to meet its obligation under the derivative contracts. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to the counterparty’s credit risk is generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparty’s obligations to the Company exceed the Company’s obligations to the counterparty. The Company’s policy is to enter into contracts only with financial institutions that meet certain minimum credit ratings to help mitigate counterparty credit risk.
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Net Investment Hedges
    The Company uses cross currency swap contracts as net investment hedges to manage its risk of variability in foreign currency-denominated net investments in wholly-owned international operations. All changes in fair value of the derivatives designated as net investment hedges are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss along with the foreign currency translation adjustments on those investments. During fiscal year 2023, the Company terminated all three of its previously outstanding cross currency swap contracts which resulted in cash received upon settlement of $7.3 million. The gain on the cross currency swap contracts was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss where it will remain until such time that substantial liquidation of the international operations should occur. Concurrent with the termination of the previous cross currency swap contracts, the Company entered into two new cross currency swap contracts which have been designated as net investment hedges.
    As of October 3, 2025, the Company had the following outstanding derivatives designated as net investment hedging instruments:

Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments
    During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company elected to partially dedesignate $6.9 million of the cross currency swap contracts that ceased to meet the effectiveness criteria and hedge accounting was discontinued. At the time of dedesignation, the total amount recorded for the dedesignated portion as a cumulative fair value basis adjustment on the cross currency swap was a loss of $0.4 million. The loss on the cross currency swap dedesignation is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss where it will remain until such time that substantial liquidation of the international operations should occur. The dedesignated cross currency swap contract is considered an economic hedge of the Company's investments in wholly-owned international operations. As such, changes in the fair value of the dedesignated cross currency swap after the date of dedesignation have been reported in other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company unwound the dedesignated portion of its outstanding cross currency swap contract which resulted in cash paid upon settlement of $0.8 million. The Company recognized $0.1 million of loss on the unwinding of the dedesignated portion, which was reported in other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Balance Sheet Hedges
    The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge fluctuations associated with foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily cash, lease contracts, third-party accounts receivable and payable, and intercompany accounts receivable and payable. These forward contracts are generally entered into at the end of one fiscal period and expire by the end of the next fiscal period. These forward contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, the change in fair value of these derivatives is recorded as a component of other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and offsets the change in fair value of the foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, which are also recorded as a component of other expense, net. The Company has not and does not intend to use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
