Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Our ongoing business operations expose us to various risks, such as fluctuating interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and increasing commodity prices. To manage these market risks, we periodically enter into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, options and foreign exchange contracts for periods consistent with, and for notional amounts equal to or less than, the related underlying exposures. We do not purchase or hold any derivative financial instruments for investment or trading purposes. All derivatives are recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

We have entered into forward exchange contracts, designated as fair value hedges, to manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates on cross-currency intercompany loans. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the notional amounts of these forward exchange contracts were Singapore Dollar (“SGD”) 421.9 million and $13.4 million. We have also entered into forward exchange contracts, designated as fair value hedges, to manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates on cross-currency intercompany demand notes which were executed at various times throughout 2023 and 2024. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total notional amounts of these forward exchange contracts were Euro ("EUR") 145.3 million and $47.1 million.

In addition, we have entered into several foreign currency contracts, designated as cash flow hedges, for periods of up to eighteen months, intended to hedge the currency risk associated with a portion of our forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding foreign currency contracts to purchase and sell certain pairs of currencies, as follows:


(in millions)		Sell
Currency	Purchase	USD	EUR	SGD
EUR	23.5	25.6	—	—
JPY	6,656.2	27.3	15.6	1.3
SGD	43.4	19.3	12.4	—

In December 2019, we entered into a cross-currency swap for $90 million, which we designated as a hedge of our net investment in Daikyo. The cross-currency swap had an original maturity date of December 31, 2024, but was extinguished in July 2024. In July 2024, we entered into a new cross-currency swap for $130 million, which we designated as a hedge of our net investment in Daikyo. As of March 31, 2025, the notional amount of the cross-currency swap is ¥17.0 billion ($130.0 million) and the swap termination date is July 2, 2027. Under the cross-currency swap, we receive fixed USD interest rate payments in return for paying fixed JPY interest rate payments.

Additionally, we will periodically enter into forward exchange contracts to mitigate our exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates on assets and liabilities, other than the intercompany loans and demand notes referenced above, which are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company has elected not to designate these forward contracts in hedging relationships, and any change in the value of the contracts is recognized in income.

Commodity Price Risk

Many of our proprietary products are made from synthetic elastomers, which are derived from the petroleum refining process. We purchase the majority of our elastomers via long-term supply contracts, some of which contain clauses that provide for surcharges related to fluctuations in crude oil prices. The following economic hedges did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment since they did not meet the highly effective requirement at inception.

We regularly purchase call options on crude oil to mitigate our exposure to such oil-based surcharges and protect operating cash flows with regard to a portion of our forecasted elastomer purchases. As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding contracts to purchase 193,786 barrels of crude oil from March 2025 to September 2026, at a weighted-average strike price of $81.81 per barrel.

Effects of Derivative Instruments on Financial Position and Results of Operations

Please refer to Note 10, Fair Value Measurements, for the balance sheet location and fair values of our derivative instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes the effects of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges on the condensed consolidated statements of income:


	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income for the
	Three Months Ended March 31,				Location on Statement of Income
($ in millions)	2025		2024
Fair Value Hedges:
Hedged item (intercompany loan)	$	3.3	$	7.5		Other expense (income)

Amount excluded from effectiveness testing	(0.4)		(1.8)			Other expense (income)
Total	$	(0.4)	$	(1.8)

We recognize in earnings the initial value of forward point components for hedges of intercompany loans on a straight-line basis over the life of the fair value hedge. The value of forward point components for hedges of intercompany demand notes is recognized currently in earnings using a market approach. The expense recognized in earnings, pre-tax, for forward point components for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $0.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
