Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income taxes Income taxesThe Company recorded income tax expense of $2.2 million and income tax benefit of $(0.8) million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was (436.6)% and 27.1% for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021 was attributable mainly to Section 162(m) compensation deduction limitations and foreign income inclusions. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes due to sensitivity of the forecast. Through March 31, 2022, the Company determined that small changes in estimated "ordinary" income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate causing material distortion in the year-to-date tax provision. As of March 31, 2022, the Company is unable to produce a reliable estimate of ordinary income for the quarter and year ending 2022 due to the inability to reliably or accurately forecast 2022 operating expenses. Similarly, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, due to uncertainties created by geopolitical risks, the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate method would not provide a reliable estimate and therefore was not used.
