Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

The Company operates globally with manufacturing and sales facilities around the world, and therefore, is subject to both financial and market risk. The Company utilizes normal operating and financing activities, along with derivative financial instruments, to minimize these risks.

Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risks associated with movements in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Derivative instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivatives that are designated as hedges to specific forecasted transactions. The Company also assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and monthly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the anticipated cash flows of the hedged item. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and immediately recognizes the gains and losses associated with those hedges. There were no material adjustments as a result of ineffectiveness to the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded. The effects of derivative financial instruments are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations when considered together with the underlying exposure being hedged. Use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to credit-risk with its counterparties when the fair value of a derivative contract is an asset. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into derivative contracts with highly rated counterparties. The maximum amount of loss due to counterparty credit-risk is limited to the asset value of derivative financial instruments.

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company enters into certain derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company executes both forward and option contracts, based on forecasted transactions, to manage foreign currency exchange exposure mainly related to inventory purchase and sales transactions.

A cash flow hedge requires that as changes in the fair value of derivatives occur, the portion of the change deemed to be effective is recorded temporarily in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of December 31, 2024, the term of derivative instruments hedging forecasted transactions ranged up to 24 months.

Other Hedging Activity. The Company has entered into certain foreign currency forward contracts that have not been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. These contracts are used to manage foreign currency exposure related to changes in the value of assets or liabilities caused by changes in foreign exchange rates. The change in the fair value of the foreign currency derivative contract and the corresponding change in the fair value of the asset or liability of the Company are both recorded through earnings, each period as incurred.

Cross-Currency Swaps. The Company enters into cross-currency swaps to hedge Euro currency exposures of the net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges, with the amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments deferred within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized upon termination of the respective investment. During 2024, the company entered into $450.0 million of cross-currency swap contracts and settled $300.0 million of cross-currency swap contracts previously entered into, resulting in a deferred gain of $1.7 million within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). During 2023, the company entered into $250.0 million of cross-currency swap contracts.

Commodity Price. The Company uses commodity swaps to hedge anticipated purchases of aluminum and copper. The amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments is deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in Cost of sales in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Foreign Currency Derivatives. The Company enters into forward and option contracts to manage foreign exchange exposure related to forecasted transactions and assets and liabilities that are subject to risk from foreign currency rate changes. These exposures include: product costs; revenues and expenses; associated receivables and payables; intercompany obligations and receivables and other related cash flows.

Interest-Rate Derivatives. The Company previously entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps and treasury-lock swaps to hedge interest rate risk associated with debt issuances. There were no forward-starting interest rate swaps or treasury-lock swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
