Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted and Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted—In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires additional disclosures about reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and it will first apply to the Company’s annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted—In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU expands disclosures in the income tax rate reconciliations table and cash taxes paid and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This accounting standard will increase the tax disclosures in the Company’s annual reporting but will have no impact on reported income tax expense or related tax assets or liabilities.

Operating Leases

Operating Leases—As of September 27, 2024 and December 31, 2023, operating lease right-of-use assets where the Company was the lessee were approximately $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, and are included within other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.  The associated operating lease liabilities were approximately $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion as of September 27, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Contingencies

Contingencies—The Company reviews the adequacy of its legal reserves on a quarterly basis and establishes reserves for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable.
