Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization | 1. Organization Nature of Operations GXO Logistics, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“GXO” or the “Company”), is the largest pure-play contract logistics provider in the world and the foremost innovator in the logistics industry. The Company provides high-value-add warehousing and distribution, order fulfillment and other supply chain services differentiated by its industry-leading ability to deliver technology-enabled, customized solutions. In addition, the Company is a major provider of reverse logistics or returns management. The Company serves a broad range of customers across a range of industries, such as e-commerce, omnichannel retail, consumer technology, food and beverage, industrial and manufacturing, and consumer packaged goods. The Company presents its operations in the consolidated financial statements as one reportable segment. On August 2, 2021, the Company completed the separation from XPO Logistics, Inc. (“XPO”) (the “Separation”). The Separation was accomplished by the distribution of 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of GXO to XPO stockholders as of the close of business on July 23, 2021, the record date for the distribution. XPO stockholders received one share of GXO common stock for every share of XPO common stock held at the close of business on the record date. GXO is now a standalone publicly-traded company. On August 2, 2021, regular-way trading of GXO’s common stock commenced on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GXO.” GXO was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in February 2021. The Separation was completed under a Separation and Distribution Agreement and various other agreements that govern aspects of the Company’s relationship with XPO. See Note — 3 The Separation for additional information of the agreements executed in connection with the Separation. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Prior to the Separation, the Company’s financial statements were prepared on a standalone combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of XPO (the “historical financial statements”). On August 2, 2021, the Company became a standalone publicly-traded company, and its financial statements post-Separation are prepared on a consolidated basis. The combined consolidated financial statements for all periods presented prior to the Separation are now also referred to as “Consolidated Financial Statements,” and have been prepared under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Prior to the Separation, the Company’s historical assets and liabilities presented were wholly owned by XPO and were reflected on a historical cost basis. In connection with the Separation, the Company’s assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company on a carry-over basis. Prior to the Separation, the historical results of operations included allocations of XPO costs and expenses including XPO’s corporate function which incurred a variety of expenses including, but not limited to, information technology, human resources, accounting, sales and sales operations, procurement, executive services, legal, corporate finance and communications. An allocation of these expenses is included to burden all business units comprising XPO’s historical results of operations, including GXO. The charges reflected have been either specifically identified or allocated using drivers including proportionally adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which includes adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments, or headcount. The Company believes the assumptions regarding allocations of XPO corporate expenses are reasonable. Nevertheless, the consolidated financial statements may not reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows had the Company been a standalone entity during the periods presented. The majority of these allocated costs are recorded within Selling, general and administrative expense; Depreciation and amortization expense; and Transaction and integration costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All charges and allocations for facilities, functions and services performed by XPO organizations have been deemed settled in cash by GXO to XPO in the year in which the cost was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the periods ended before the Separation, the Company was a member of the XPO consolidated group, and its U.S. taxable income was included in XPO’s consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as in the tax returns filed by XPO with certain state and local taxing jurisdictions. For the periods ended after the Separation, the Company will file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as state and local income tax returns. The Company’s foreign income tax returns are filed on a full-year basis. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GXO Logistics, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical information and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, income taxes, loss contingencies, valuation of long-lived assets including goodwill and intangible assets and their associated estimated useful lives, collectability of accounts receivable and the fair value of financial instruments. Actual results may vary from those estimates. The COVID-19 pandemic has created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, which may cause further business slowdowns or shutdowns, depress demand for the logistics business, and adversely impact the Company’s estimates, particularly those that require consideration of forecasted financial information. The business and economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has made calculating estimates and assumptions more difficult. Significant Accounting Policies Reclassifications Certain amounts reported for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less on the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Bank overdraft positions occur when total outstanding issued checks exceed available cash balances at a single financial institution. The Company had no bank overdrafts as of December 31, 2021 and $27 million as of December 31, 2020, recorded within Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable represents the Company’s unconditional right to receive consideration from its customers. The Company records accounts receivable at the contractual amount and records an allowance for doubtful accounts for the amount it estimates it may not collect. In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers historical collection experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality and risk of its customers, any specific customer collection issues, current economic conditions and other factors that may impact its customers’ ability to pay. The Company writes off accounts receivable balances once the receivables are no longer deemed collectible. The rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 2019 Beginning balance $ 18 $ 20 $ 11 Provisions charged to expense 4 8 13 Write-offs, less recoveries, and other adjustments (9) (10) (4) Ending balance $ 13 $ 18 $ 20 Trade Receivables Securitization and Factoring Programs The Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions under factoring agreements. The Company also sells certain European trade accounts receivable under a securitization program that contains financial covenants customary for this type of arrangement, including maintaining a defined average days sales outstanding ratio. The Company accounts for these transactions as sales of receivables and presents cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company accounts for transfers under its securitization and factoring arrangements as sales because the Company sells full title and ownership in the underlying receivables and control of the receivables is considered transferred. For these transfers, the receivables are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the date of transfer. Property and Equipment Property and equipment, which includes assets recorded under finance leases, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or, in the case of acquired property and equipment, at fair value at the date of acquisition. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expenses as incurred. For computer software developed, all costs incurred during the planning and evaluation stages are expensed as incurred. Software development costs meet the criteria for capitalization once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Land and assets held within construction in progress are not depreciated. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are described below: Estimated Useful Life Buildings 40 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or term of lease Technology and automated systems 3 to 15 years Warehouse equipment and other 3 to 15 years Computer, software and equipment 1 to 5 years Lease Obligations The Company has operating leases primarily for real estate, warehouse equipment, trucks, trailers, containers and material handling equipment and finance leases for equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes lease assets and liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Amounts received from a landlord are classified as a lease incentive and included as a reduction to the lease asset. Lease incentives received are included within operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. For most of the Company’s leases, the implicit rate cannot be readily determined and, as a result, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rates at commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. For leases that include fixed rental payments for both the use of the asset (“lease costs”) as well as for other occupancy or service costs relating to the asset (“non-lease costs”), the Company generally includes both the lease costs and non-lease costs as a single lease component in the measurement of the lease asset and liability. The Company excludes variable lease payments (such as payments based on an index) from its initial measurement of the lease liability. The Company includes options to extend or terminate a lease in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options. Segment Reporting The Company is comprised of two operating segments based on the operating results regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resource allocation and the performance of the business. These two operating segments have been aggregated into a single reporting segment. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company records goodwill as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment, or one level below. The Company has two reporting units: i) Americas, Asia and Pacific and ii) Europe. The Company measures goodwill impairment, if any, as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The review of goodwill impairment consists of either using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their respective carrying values or a one-step quantitative impairment test. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, including declines in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization of the Company and macroeconomic conditions. If, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, additional quantitative impairment testing is performed. The quantitative test requires that the carrying value of each reporting unit be compared with its estimated fair value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recorded for the difference (up to the carrying value of goodwill). The Company uses the income approach and/or a market-based approach to determine the reporting units’ fair values, which are based on discounted cash flows. The determination of discounted cash flows of the reporting units and assets and liabilities within the reporting units requires significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include but are not limited to, the discount rate, terminal growth rates, earnings before depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures forecasts. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company evaluates the merits of each significant assumption, both individually and in the aggregate, used to determine the fair value of the reporting units, as well as the fair values of the corresponding assets and liabilities within the reporting units. The Company’s intangible assets consist of customer relationships which are amortized on a straight-line basis or over their respective useful life using patterns that reflect the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be realized. The Company reviews its customer relationships for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment of Long-lived assets The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator is present, the company evaluates recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group. If the assets are impaired, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate consistent with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. Insurance liabilities The Company participates in a combination of self-insurance programs and purchased insurance to provide for the costs of medical, casualty, general liability, vehicular, cargo, cyber attack and workers’ compensation claims. The Company estimates insurance liabilities using several factors, primarily based on independent third-party actuary determined amounts, historical claims experience, estimates of incurred but not reported claims, demographic factors and severity factors. Liabilities for the risks the Company retains, including estimates of claims incurred but not reported, are not discounted and are estimated, in part, by considering historical cost experience, demographic and severity factors, and judgments about current and expected levels of cost per claim and retention levels. Changes in these assumptions and factors can impact actual costs paid to settle the claims and those amounts may be different than estimates. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue by providing supply chain services for its customers, including warehousing and distribution, order fulfillment, reverse logistics, packaging and labeling, factory and aftermarket support, and inventory management contracts ranging from a few months to a few years. Generally, the Company’s contracts provide the customer an integrated service that includes two or more services, including but not limited to facility and equipment costs, construction, repair and maintenance services and labor. For these contracts, the Company does not consider the services to be distinct within the context of the contract when the separate scopes of work combine into a single commercial objective or capability for the customer. Accordingly, the Company generally identifies one performance obligation in its contracts, which is a series of distinct services that remain substantially the same over time and possess the same pattern of transfer. Revenue is recognized using the series guidance over the period in which services are provided under the terms of the Company’s contractual relationships with its clients. The transaction price is based on the amount specified in the contract with the customer and contains fixed and variable consideration. In general, the fixed consideration in a contract represents reimbursement for facility and equipment costs incurred to satisfy the performance obligation and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. The variable consideration is comprised of cost reimbursement determined based on the costs incurred, per-unit pricing is determined based on units provided, and time and materials pricing is determined based on the hours of services provided. The variable consideration component is recognized over time based on the level of activity. Generally, pricing can be adjusted based on contractual provisions related to achieving agreed-upon performance metrics, changes in volumes, services and market conditions. Revenue relating to these pricing adjustments is estimated and included in the consideration if it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in the future. The estimate of variable consideration is determined by the expected value or most likely amount method and factors in current, past and forecasted experience with the customer. Customers are billed based on terms specified in the revenue contract and they pay us according to approved payment terms. Contract Assets Contract assets consist of two components, customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfill a contract. The Company capitalizes direct and incremental costs incurred to obtain and to fulfill a contract in advance of revenue recognition, such as certain labor, third-party service and related product costs. These costs are recognized as an asset if the Company expects to recover them. Costs incurred to obtain a contract with an amortization period of one year or less are expensed as incurred. Contract fulfillment costs are recognized consistent with the transfer of the underlying performance obligations to the customer based on the specific contracts to which they relate. Contract assets are primarily amortized to Direct operating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the contract term. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities, which are recorded within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, represent the Company’s obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration or the amount is due from the customer. Derivative Instruments The Company records all its derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as a hedge, and effective as part of a hedge transaction, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or as a basis adjustment to the underlying hedged item and reclassified to earnings in the year in which the hedged item affects earnings. The effective portion of the gain or loss on hedges of foreign net investments is generally not reclassified to earnings unless the net investment is disposed of. To the extent derivatives do not qualify or are not designated as hedges, or are ineffective, their changes in fair value are recorded in earnings immediately, which may subject us to increased earnings volatility. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the equity instrument’s grant date fair value. For grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) subject to service-based or performance-based vesting conditions only, the Company establishes the fair value based on the market price on the date of the grant. For stock options, the Company determines the fair value based on its stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company recognizes the grant date fair value of equity awards as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Defined Benefit Plan The Company calculates its employer-sponsored retirement plan obligations using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies. Assumptions include discount rates, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, mortality rates and other factors. The assumptions used in recording the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets represent the Company’s best estimates based on available information regarding historical experience and factors that may cause future expectations to differ. The Company’s obligation and future expense amounts could be materially impacted by differences in experience or changes in assumptions. The impact of plan amendments, actuarial gains and losses and prior-service costs are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and are generally amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost over the remaining service period of the active employees covered by the defined benefit pension plans. Cumulative gains and losses over 10% of the greater of the beginning of year benefit obligation or fair value of the plan assets are amortized over the expected average life expectancy. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method on a legal entity and jurisdictional basis, under which the Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The calculation of the annual effective tax rate relies on several factors including pre-tax earnings, various jurisdiction statutory tax rates, tax credits, uncertain tax positions, valuation allowances and differences between tax laws and accounting laws. The effective tax rate in any financial statement period may be materially impacted by changes in the blend and/or level of earnings by individual taxing jurisdictions. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized based on all available evidence. The Company records Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income tax as a period cost. The Company uses judgments and estimates in evaluating its tax positions. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by U.S. Federal, state and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if based on the technical merits of the position it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authority. The Company adjusts these tax liabilities, including related interest and penalties, based on the current facts and circumstances. The Company reports tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use their local currency as their functional currency are translated to U.S. dollars (“USD”) using the exchange rate prevailing at each balance sheet date, with balance sheet currency translation adjustments recorded in AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company converts foreign currency transactions recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to USD by applying the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions and the effects of remeasuring monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material for any of the years presented. Adoption of New Accounting Standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The ASU also clarifies and amends existing guidance to enhance consistency and comparability among reporting entities. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022. The Company intends to apply this guidance when modifications of contracts that include LIBOR occur, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
The Separation | 3. The Separation The Separation was completed under a Separation and Distribution Agreement and various other agreements that govern aspects of the Company’s relationship with XPO, including, but not limited to a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”), a Tax Matters Agreement (“TMA”), an Employee Matters Agreement (“EMA”) and an Intellectual Property License Agreement (“IPLA”). The Separation and Distribution Agreement contains provisions that, among other things, relate to (i) assets, liabilities and contracts transferred, assumed and assigned to each of GXO and XPO as part of the Separation, (ii) cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of GXO’s business with GXO and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of XPO’s remaining business with XPO, (iii) the allocation among GXO and XPO of rights and obligations under existing insurance policies for occurrences before completion of the Separation and (iv) procedures governing the resolution of disputes, controversies or claims that may arise between GXO and XPO related to the Separation. Under the TSA, (i) XPO provides GXO and certain of its affiliates, on an interim, transitional basis, various services, and (ii) GXO provides XPO and certain of its affiliates, on an interim, transitional basis, various services. The services provided include treasury administration, employee benefits administration, information technology services, regulatory services, general administrative services and other support services. The services generally commenced on the date of the Separation and will terminate no later than 12 months following the Separation. XPO and GXO also entered into a TMA that governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations for tax matters; including responsibility for taxes, entitlement to refunds, allocation of tax attributes, preparation of tax returns, control of tax contests and other tax matters. GXO is generally responsible for federal, state and foreign income taxes (i) imposed on a separate return basis on GXO or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) imposed on a consolidated or combined return basis for audit or other adjustments attributable to GXO or any of its subsidiaries, in each case, for taxable periods, or portions thereof, that ended on or prior to the Separation. The TMA provides special rules that allocate responsibility for tax liabilities arising from a failure of the Separation transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment based on the reasons for such failure. The TMA also imposes restrictions on GXO during the two years following the Separation that are intended to prevent the Separation and certain related transactions from failing to qualify as transactions that are generally tax-free. The EMA allocated assets, liabilities, and responsibilities relating to employee compensation and benefit plans and programs and other employee-related matters in connection with the Separation. Under the EMA, the Company became the plan sponsor for its U.K. defined benefit pension plan (the “U.K. Retirement Plan”) and recognized net assets of $36 million, reflecting the plan assets and projected benefit obligation, and accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax of $82 million. See Note — 14 Employee Benefit Plans for additional information. The IPLA provides the parties with reciprocal, non-exclusive licenses under certain intellectual property rights transferred to GXO and certain intellectual property rights retained by XPO to provide the parties freedom to operate their respective businesses. In connection with the Separation, related party debt between GXO and XPO was settled and is no longer reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021. In June 2021, the Company entered into a five-year, unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Initially, the Revolving Credit Facility provides commitments of up to $800 million, of which $60 million will be available for the issuance of letters of credit. Additionally, in July 2021, the Company completed an offering of $800 million aggregate principal amount of notes, consisting of $400 million of notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $400 million of notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes,” and together with the 2026 Notes, the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the Notes were used to fund a cash payment to XPO of $794 million in connection with the Separation. See Note — 11 Debt and Financing Arrangements for additional information. In July 2021, in connection with the Separation, XPO’s existing trade receivable securitization program was amended; the previous €400 million ($455 million) program is now comprised of two separate €200 million ($227 million) programs, one of which remains with the Company and expires in July 2024. See Note — 11 Debt and Financing Arrangements for additional information. In August 2021, the Company amended certain legal entity structures and transferred assets under a legal entity restructuring plan. In connection with the restructuring, the Company entered into certain agreements to license the right to use trademarks, trade names and other intellectual property related to the GXO brand to its non-U.S. affiliates and recorded a positive income tax adjustment of $42 million along with a corresponding increase to deferred tax asset in the third quarter of 2021. Also, in connection with the legal entity restructuring, the Company made a one-time income tax cash payment of $16 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | 4. Acquisitions European Acquisition In January 2021, the Company acquired the majority of Kuehne + Nagel’s contract logistics operations in the U.K. (the “K + N acquisition”). For the year ended December 31, 2021, the K + N acquisition generated revenues of $604 million, primarily recorded in the food and beverage vertical, and operating income was not material. The operations provide a range of logistics services, including inbound and outbound distribution, reverse logistics management and inventory management. The Company recorded the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed, including approximately $300 million of operating and finance lease assets and liabilities. The Company acquired intangibles of $26 million with a weighted-average amortization period of 9 years. Goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition was $16 million, recorded in the European reporting unit. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as it is not material to the consolidated financial statements. GXO Logistics Europe Purchase In 2020 and 2019, the Company purchased additional noncontrolling interest in GXO Logistics Europe of $21 million and $258 million, respectively. In connection with the Separation, the portion of the noncontrolling interest not attributable to GXO was recorded as a transfer to the XPO investment account. In 2021, the Company completed the purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest at a cost of approximately $128 million and transferred $40 million to XPO. Following this transaction, the Company owns all of the outstanding shares of GXO Logistics Europe SAS. |

As of December 31, 2021, contract liabilities included $64 million related to the K + N acquisition. Performance Obligations The remaining performance obligations relate to firm customer contracts for which services have not been performed and future revenue recognition is expected. As permitted in determining the remaining performance obligation, the Company omits obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less or contain variable consideration. On December 31, 2021, the fixed consideration component of the Company’s remaining performance obligation was approximately $2.1 billion, and the Company expects to recognize approximately 69% of that amount over the next three years and the remainder thereafter. The Company estimates remaining performance obligations at a point in time and actual amounts may differ from these estimates due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and contract revisions or terminations. |

(2) The carrying value of the 2.65% Notes due 2031 is presented net of unamortized debt issuance cost and discount of $4 million as of December 31, 2021. Unsecured Notes In July 2021, the Company completed an offering of $800 million aggregate principal amount of notes, consisting of the 2026 Notes and the 2031 Notes. The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.65% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2022, and maturing on July 15, 2026. The 2031 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.65% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2022, and maturing on July 15, 2031. The indentures governing the Notes contain covenants that are customary for financings of this type, including a limitation on liens. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the indenture governing the Notes. The Company recognized $6 million of debt discounts and $2 million of debt issuance costs that were recorded as a reduction to the related debt instrument and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the Notes. Revolving Credit Facility In June 2021, prior to the Separation, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility. Initially, the Revolving Credit Facility provides commitments of up to $800 million, of which $60 million will be available for the issuance of letters of credit. Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a fluctuating rate equal to: (i) with respect to borrowings in dollars, at the Company’s option, the alternate base rate or the reserve-adjusted LIBOR, (ii) with respect to borrowings in Canadian dollars, the reserve-adjusted Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, and (iii) with respect to borrowings in Euros, the reserve-adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin calculated based on the Company’s credit ratings. In addition, the Company is paying a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the unused portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility, which are customary for financings of this type, limit the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness and grant liens, among other restrictions. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio below a specified maximum. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the credit agreement governing its Revolving Credit Facility. There were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021. Amounts drawn and repaid within three months are presented as net in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Related-Party Debt The following related-party debt agreements between GXO and XPO were settled pursuant to the Separation and are no longer reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021. • An unsecured loan bearing interest at a rate of 5.625% with a principal amount not exceeding $391 million and maturing in June 2024. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an outstanding loan payable to XPO of $186 million. • A €20 million unsecured loan entered into in 2013, bearing interest at a variable rate of twelve-month Euribor plus 1% and maturing in October 2026. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an outstanding loan payable to XPO of $23 million. • A £82 million unsecured loan bearing interest at a variable rate of twelve-month LIBOR plus 1% and maturing in October 2026. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an outstanding loan payable to XPO of $112 million. • A €335 million loan bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.625% and maturing in June 2024. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an outstanding loan payable to XPO of $165 million. Trade Receivables Securitization and Factoring Programs The Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions under factoring agreements. The Company also sells certain European trade accounts receivable under a securitization program that contains financial covenants customary for this type of arrangement, including maintaining a defined average days sales outstanding ratio. The Company accounts for these transactions as sales of receivables and present cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The trade receivables securitization program permits us to borrow, on an unsecured basis, cash collected in a servicing capacity on previously sold receivables. The Company uses trade receivables securitization and factoring programs to help manage its cash flows. Under the securitization program, the Company participates in a trade receivables securitization program co-arranged by two European banks (the “Purchasers”). Under the program, a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity of the Company sells trade receivables that originate with wholly-owned subsidiaries to unaffiliated entities managed by the Purchasers. The special purpose entity is a variable interest entity and has been presented within these consolidated financial statements based on the Company’s control of the entity’s activities. In July 2021, in connection with the Separation, XPO’s existing trade receivable securitization program was amended; the previous €400 million ($455 million) program is now comprised of two separate €200 million ($227 million) programs, one of which remains with the Company and expires in July 2024. As of July 2021, the Company’s special purpose entity no longer purchases trade receivables from XPO. As of December 31, 2020, Other current assets include trade receivables purchased from XPO in connection with the Company’s trade receivables securitization program of $105 million. The weighted average interest rate was 0.75% as of December 31, 2021. Charges for commitment fees, which are based on a percentage of available amounts, and charges for administrative fees were not material to the Company’s results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The Company accounts for transfers under its securitization and factoring arrangements as sales because the Company sells full title and ownership in the underlying receivables and control of the receivables is considered transferred. For these transfers, the receivables are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the date of transfer. In the securitization and factoring arrangements, the Company’s continuing involvement is limited to servicing the receivables. The fair value of any servicing assets and liabilities is immaterial. The trade receivables securitization program permits us to borrow, on an unsecured basis, cash collected in a servicing capacity on previously sold receivables which are included in short-term borrowings and obligations under finance leases in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until they are repaid in the following month’s settlement. In January 2022, the Company halted sales of European trade accounts receivable related to the securitization program with the intention to terminate the program in 2022. Information related to trade receivables sold was as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 2019 Securitization programs Receivables sold in period $ 1,850 $ 1,491 $ 1,023 Cash consideration 1,850 1,491 943 Deferred purchase price — — 80 Factoring programs Receivables sold in period $ 450 $ 612 $ 794 Cash consideration 449 611 790 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments | 13. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The levels of inputs used to measure fair value are: • Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; • Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and • Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, generally utilizing pricing models or other valuation techniques that reflect management’s judgment and estimates. Assets and liabilities The Company bases its fair value estimates on market assumptions and available information. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current maturities of long-term debt approximated their fair values as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, due to their short-term nature. Debt The fair value of debt was as follows: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 (In millions) Level Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value 1.65% Unsecured notes due 2026 2 $ 391 $ 397 $ — $ — 2.65% Unsecured notes due 2031 2 394 396 — — Related-party debt 3 — — 486 486 Financial Instruments The Company directly manages its exposure to risks arising from business operations and economic factors, including fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the volatility related to these exposures. The objective of these derivative instruments is to reduce fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In connection with the Separation, XPO novated certain cross-currency swaps and options to the Company. As a result, the Company recorded accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax of $28 million. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. The Company does not expect to incur any losses as a result of counterparty default. Derivatives Cross-Currency Swap Agreements The Company enters into cross-currency swap agreements to manage the foreign currency exchange risk related to its international operations by effectively converting fixed-rate USD-denominated debt, including the associated interest payments, to fixed-rate, Euro-denominated debt. The risk management objective of these transactions is to manage foreign currency risk relating to net investments in subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies and reduce the variability in the functional currency equivalent cash flows of this debt. During the term of the swap contracts, the Company will receive interest, either on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, from the counterparties based on USD fixed interest rates, and the Company will pay interest, also on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, to the counterparties based on Euro fixed interest rates. At maturity, the Company will repay the original principal amount in EUR and receive the principal amount in USD. These agreements expire at various dates through 2026. The Company designated these cross-currency swaps as qualifying hedging instruments and account for them as net investment hedges. The Company applies the critical terms match method of assessing the effectiveness of its net investment hedging relationships. Under this method, for each reporting period, the change in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps is initially recognized in AOCI. The change in the fair value due to foreign exchange remains in AOCI and the initial component excluded from effectiveness testing will initially remain in AOCI and then will be reclassified from AOCI to Interest expense each period in a systematic manner. For net investment hedges that were de-designated prior to their maturity, the amounts in AOCI will remain in AOCI until the subsidiary is sold or substantially liquidated. Cash flows related to the periodic exchange of interest payments for these net investment hedges are included in Operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Foreign Currency Options The Company uses foreign currency option contracts to mitigate the risk of a reduction in the value of earnings from the operations that use the Euro or the British pound sterling as their functional currency. The foreign currency option contracts were not designated as qualifying hedging instruments as of December 31, 2021. The contracts are used to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and are not speculative. The contracts generally expire in 12 months or less. Gains or losses on the contracts are recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows related to the foreign currency contracts are included in investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, consistent with the nature and purpose for which these derivatives were acquired. The Company presents the fair value of its derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis. The fair value of derivative instruments and the related notional amounts were as follows: December 31, 2021 (In millions) Notional Amount Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Derivatives designated as hedges Liabilities: Cross-currency swap agreements $ 328 Other current liabilities $ 4 Cross-currency swap agreements 165 Other long-term liabilities 4 Derivatives not designated as hedges Assets: Foreign currency option contracts $ 368 Other current assets $ 11 Foreign currency option contracts 37 Other long-term assets 1 The derivatives are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The derivatives are valued using inputs other than quoted prices such as foreign exchange rates and yield curves. The effect of derivative instruments designated as hedges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 (In millions) Gain (loss) on Gain (loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Net Income (Loss) (1) Gain (loss) Derivatives designated as net investment hedges Cross-currency swap agreements $ (17) $ 1 $ 2 Total $ (17) $ 1 $ 2 (1) Amounts reclassified to net income are reported within Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gain recognized in earnings for foreign currency options not designated as hedging instruments was $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, of which $1 million was unrealized. These amounts are recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no derivative instruments in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Employee Benefit Plans | 14. Employee Benefit Plans Defined Benefit Plan Prior to the Separation, certain eligible employees of XPO participated in XPO’s U.K. Retirement Plan which did not allow for new participants or additional benefit accruals. In connection with the Separation, the Company became the plan sponsor for the U.K. Retirement Plan, and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 include the funded status of the plan and periodic benefit costs. The majority of the plan assets transferred to the Company were fixed income securities including government bonds and debt instruments which are primarily classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There are no unfunded commitments or redemption restrictions related to these investments. The Company also maintains defined benefit pension plans for some of its foreign subsidiaries that are excluded from the disclosures below due to their immateriality. The Company determines the net periodic benefit costs using assumptions regarding the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets as of the beginning of the year. Net periodic benefit cost is recorded within Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company calculates the funded status of the defined benefit pension plan as the difference between the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets. Funded Status of Defined Benefit Plan The change in the projected benefit obligation of the plan as of December 31, 2021 was as follows: (In millions) Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $ — Liabilities assumed from XPO 1,408 Interest cost 11 Actuarial loss 39 Benefits paid (27) Foreign currency exchange rate changes (31) Projected benefit obligation at end of year (1) $ 1,400 (1) As of December 31, 2021, the accumulated benefit obligation was equal to the projected benefit obligation. Actuarial losses were a result of assumption changes, including a decrease in the discount rate and an increase in the inflation assumptions. The change in the fair value of the plan assets as of December 31, 2021 was as follows: (In millions) Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ — Assets transferred from XPO 1,444 Actual return on plan assets 75 Benefits paid (27) Foreign currency exchange rate changes (32) Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 1,460 The reconciliation of the funded status of the plan as of December 31, 2021 was as follows: (In millions) Fair value of plan assets $ 1,460 Projected benefit obligation 1,400 Funded status at the end of the year (1) $ 60 (1) Funded status is recorded within Other long-term assets. The amounts included in AOCI that have not yet been recognized in net periodic benefit as of December 31, 2021 were as follows: (In millions) Actuarial loss $ (113) Prior-service credit 16 Net amount recognized in AOCI (1) $ (97) (1) In connection with the Separation, $103 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss was transferred from XPO. The components of net periodic benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2021 were as follows: (In millions) Interest cost $ (11) Expected return on plan assets 30 Net periodic benefit income (1) $ 19 (1) Net periodic benefit income is recorded within Other income, net. The amounts recognized in other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2021 were as follows: (In millions) Actuarial gain $ 6 Other comprehensive income $ 6 The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the projected benefit obligation and the net periodic costs were as follows: Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligation at December 31, 2021 Discount rate 1.82 % Rate of compensation increase (1) — % Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 Discount rate 1.87 % Rate of compensation increase (1) — % Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 4.25 % (1) No rate of compensation increase was assumed as the plans are frozen to additional participant benefit accruals. Plan Assets The Company’s U.K. Retirement Plan’s assets are separated from its assets and invested by trustees, which include representatives of the Company, to meet the U.K. Retirement Plan’s projected future pension liabilities. The trustees’ investment objectives are to meet the performance target set in the deficit recovery plan of the U.K. Retirement Plan in a risk-controlled framework. The target strategic asset allocation for the U.K. Retirement Plan consists of approximately 40% matching assets (U.K. gilts and cash) and approximately 60% growth and income assets (consisting of a range of pooled funds investing in structured equities, investment grade and high yield bonds and asset-backed securities). The target asset allocations of the U.K. Retirement Plan include acceptable ranges for each asset class. The actual asset allocations of the U.K. Retirement Plan are in line with the target asset allocations. Collateral assets consist of U.K. fixed-interest gilts, index-linked gilts and cash, which are used to back derivative positions that hedge the sensitivity of the liabilities to changes in interest rates and inflation. On the U.K. Retirement Plan Actuary’s Long Term funding basis, approximately 90% of the liability interest rate sensitivity and 90% of the liability inflation sensitivity were hedged as of December 31, 2021. The fair values of investments held in the pension plans by major asset category as of December 31, 2021 and the percentage that each asset category comprises of total plan assets were as follows: December 31, 2021 (In millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Not Subject to Leveling (1) Total Asset category Cash and cash equivalents $ 60 $ — $ — $ — $ 60 Fixed income securities — 1,173 — 506 1,679 Derivatives — (381) — 102 (279) Total plan assets $ 60 $ 792 $ — $ 608 $ 1,460 (1) Investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented for the total defined benefit pension plan assets. Expected benefit payments for the defined benefit pension plans are summarized below. These estimates are based on assumptions about future events. Actual benefit payments may vary from these estimates. (In millions) 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027-2031 Expected payment $ 50 $ 51 $ 54 $ 54 $ 57 $ 299 Funding The Company’s funding practice is to evaluate the tax and cash position, and the funded status of the plan, in determining the planned contributions. The Company estimates that it will contribute approximately $2 million to the U.K. Retirement Plan in 2022 but this could change based on variations in interest rates, asset returns and other factors. Defined Contribution Plans The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan that is available to employees whose primary place of employment is the U.S. The Company matches up to a 4% of employees’ pre-tax contributions, after completing one year of service. The Company’s costs for defined contribution plan were $16 million, $14 million and $14 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and were primarily included in Direct operating expenses. |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | 16. Stock-Based Compensation Prior to the Separation, GXO employees participated in XPO’s equity incentive plan, pursuant to which they were granted restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and non-qualified or incentive stock options. All awards granted under these plans related to XPO common shares. In connection with the Separation, and in accordance with the EMA, the Company’s employees with outstanding former XPO stock-based awards received replacement stock-based awards under the Plan at Separation. The value of the replaced stock-based awards was designed to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the award immediately after the Separation when compared to the aggregate intrinsic value of the award immediately prior to the Separation. In August 2021, the Company established the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Incentive Plan”). The 2021 Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 11.6 million shares of common stock as Awards. Under the 2021 Incentive Plan, directors, officers and employees may be granted various types of stock-based compensation awards. These awards include stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, performance-based units and cash incentive awards (collectively, “Awards”). As of December 31, 2021, 9.0 million shares of common stock were available for the grant of Awards under the 2021 Incentive Plan. Prior to the Separation, the stock-based compensation expense recorded by the Company includes the expense associated with the employees historically attributable to the Company’s operations, as well as the expense associated with the allocation of equity-based compensation expense for corporate employees. The amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of future awards and do not necessarily reflect the costs that the Company would have incurred as an independent company for the periods presented. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 2019 Restricted stock and restricted stock units $ 20 $ 23 $ 17 Performance-based restricted stock units 5 2 6 Stock options 3 — — Total stock-based compensation expense $ 28 $ 25 $ 23 Tax benefit on stock-based compensation $ 1 $ 1 $ — Stock Options The Company’s stock options vest over five years after the grant date, have a 10-year contractual term and an exercise price equal the stock price on the grant date. For awards issued prior to the Separation, the exercise price was converted in accordance with the EMA. A summary of stock option award activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 is presented in the following table: Stock Options Number of Stock Options Weighted-Average Weighted-Average Aggregate Intrinsic value (1) (in millions) Outstanding as of December 31, 2020 — $ — 0 years Converted from XPO 1,170 64.72 Granted — — Exercised — — Forfeited — — Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 1,170 $ 64.72 9 years $ 31 Options exercisable as of December 31, 2021 6 $ 12.12 4 years $ — (1) The intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market price of the Company’s common stock on the reporting date and the price paid by the options to exercise the option. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various and subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used: Stock Option Plans 2021 2020 2019 Weighted-average risk free rate of interest 1.2 % — % — % Expected volatility 30 % — % — % Weighted-average expected award life 6.7 years 0 years 0 years Dividend yield — % — % — % Weighted-average fair value $ 22.66 $ — $ — As of December 31, 2021, unrecognized compensation cost related to options of $23 million is anticipated to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 4 years. Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units The Company grants RSUs and performance RSUs to its key employees, officers and directors with various vesting requirements. RSUs generally vest based on the passage of time (service conditions), typically four years, and performance PRSUs generally vest based on the achievement of other financial conditions. The holders of the RSUs and PRSUs do not have the rights of a stockholder and do not have voting rights until the shares are issued and delivered in settlement of the awards. A summary of RSU and PRSU award activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 is presented in the following table: RSUs PRSUs (In thousands, except per share) Number of RSUs Weighted-Average Number of PRSUs Weighted-Average Outstanding as of December 31, 2020 — $ — — $ — Converted from XPO 1,214 36.97 256 53.93 Granted 139 87.07 — — Vested (1) (45) 36.54 (7) 54.72 Forfeited and canceled (45) 42.39 (2) 54.72 Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 1,263 $ 42.31 247 $ 53.91 (1) The number of RSUs and PRSUs vested includes common stock shares that the Company withheld on behalf of its employees to satisfy the minimum tax withholding. The total fair value of RSUs that vested during 2021 and 2020 was $17 million and $23 million, respectively. The total fair value of PRSUs that vested during 2021 and 2020 was immaterial. As of December 31, 2021, unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs and PRSUs of $46 million is anticipated to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3 years. |

Income Taxes | 17. Income Taxes For the periods ended before the Separation, the Company was a member of the XPO consolidated group, and its U.S. taxable income was included in XPO’s consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as in the tax returns filed by XPO with certain state and local taxing jurisdictions. For the periods ended after the Separation, the Company will file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as state and local income tax returns. The Company’s foreign income tax returns are filed on a full-year basis. Income (loss) before taxes related to the Company’s domestic and foreign operations was as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 2019 U.S. $ (25) $ (82) $ 16 Foreign 178 76 102 Income (loss) before income taxes $ 153 $ (6) $ 118 The components of income tax expense (benefit) for 2021, 2020 and 2019 are presented in the following table: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 2019 Current: U.S. federal $ 12 $ (2) $ 2 U.S state and local 2 (1) 1 Foreign 26 45 36 Total current income tax expense $ 40 $ 42 $ 39 Deferred: U.S. federal $ (13) $ (16) $ 2 U.S state and local (12) (5) (4) Foreign (23) (5) — Total deferred income tax benefit $ (48) $ (26) $ (2) Total income tax expense (benefit) $ (8) $ 16 $ 37 Income tax expense (benefit) for 2021, 2020 and 2019 varied from the amount computed by applying the statutory income tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes. The Company’s U.S. federal statutory tax rate was 21 percent for 2021, 2020 and 2019. A reconciliation of the expected U.S. federal income tax expense (benefit), calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to the Company’s actual income tax expense (benefit) for 2021, 2020 and 2019 is presented in the following table: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 2019 Tax expense at U.S. federal statutory tax rate $ 32 $ (1) $ 25 State taxes, net of U.S. federal benefit (8) (5) (2) Foreign rate differential (2) (3) (1) Foreign operations (1) 5 20 10 Contribution- and margin-based taxes 4 6 6 Valuation allowances 1 — — Changes in prior period unrecognized tax benefits, including interest — 1 — Stock-based compensation 1 1 — Intangible assets (2) (42) — — Other 1 (3) (1) Total income tax expense (benefit) $ (8) $ 16 $ 37 (1) Foreign operations include the net impact of changes to valuation allowances, the cost of inclusion of foreign income in the U.S. net of foreign taxes, and permanent items related to foreign operations.

Components of the Net Deferred Tax Asset or Liability The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are presented in the following table: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 Deferred tax assets Net operating loss and other tax attribute carryforwards $ 74 $ 126 Accrued expenses 45 20 Pension and other retirement obligations — 7 Other 16 2 Gross deferred tax assets 135 155 Valuation allowances (45) (73) Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 90 82 Deferred tax liabilities Intangible assets (45) (89) Property and equipment (50) (42) Pension and other retirement obligations (6) — Other (12) (5) Gross deferred tax liabilities (113) (136) Net deferred tax liability $ (23) $ (54) The deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability above are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: December 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 Other long-term assets $ 48 $ — Other long-term liabilities (71) (54) Net deferred tax liability $ (23) $ (54) Investments in Foreign Subsidiaries Prior to December 31, 2017, U.S. federal income taxes had not been provided on the undistributed earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, to the extent that such earnings had been reinvested abroad for an indefinite period of time. The Company no longer maintains the indefinite reinvestment assertion on the undistributed earnings of those non-U.S. subsidiaries following the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Operating Loss and Tax Credit Carryforwards The Company’s operating loss and tax credit carryforwards were as follows: December 31, (In millions) Expiration Date (1) 2021 2020 Federal net operating losses for all U.S. operations 2033 $ 20 $ 154 Tax effect (before federal benefit) of state net operating losses Various times starting in 2027 3 2 Federal tax credit carryforwards Various times starting in 2032 5 1 State tax credit carryforward Various times starting in 2022 6 7 Foreign net operating losses available to offset future taxable income Various times starting in 2022 240 346 (1) Some credits and losses have unlimited carryforward periods. Valuation Allowances The Company established valuation allowances for some of its deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future. The Company concluded that the remaining deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized, though this is not assured, and as such no valuation allowances have been provided on these assets. The balances and activity related to the Company’s valuation allowances were as follows: (In millions) Beginning Balance Additions Reductions (1) Ending Balance 2021 $ 73 1 (29) $ 45 2020 $ 56 17 — $ 73 2019 $ 45 11 — $ 56 (1) As a result of the Separation, a $29 million decrease in valuation allowances was recorded as the corresponding tax attributes reported by the Company on a combined basis were not transferred to the Company. Unrecognized Tax Benefits A reconciliation of the beginning unrecognized tax benefits balance to the ending balance is presented in the following table: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 2019 Beginning balance $ 3 $ 3 $ 3 Increases related to positions taken during prior years 1 1 — Reduction due to expiration of statutes of limitations (1) (1) — Ending balance 3 3 3 Interest and penalties — 1 1 Gross unrecognized tax benefits $ 3 $ 4 $ 4 Total unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate as of the end of the year $ 3 $ 3 $ 3 The Company could reflect a reduction to unrecognized tax benefits of $3 million over the next 12 months due to the statute of limitations lapsing on positions or because tax positions are sustained on audit. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per Share | 18. Earnings per Share Prior to the Separation, GXO employees participated in XPO’s equity incentive plan, pursuant to which they were granted restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and non-qualified or incentive stock options. All awards granted under these plans were related to XPO common shares. In connection with the Separation, outstanding awards held by GXO employees were converted in accordance with the EMA. Depending on whether the awards held on the Separation date were in an unvested or vested status, GXO employees either received converted awards solely in GXO based shares (unvested status) or a combination of GXO and XPO shares (vested status). The conversion methodology used was calculated in accordance with the EMA and with the purpose of maintaining the aggregate intrinsic value of the award immediately after the Separation when compared to the aggregate intrinsic value immediately prior to the Separation. On August 2, 2021, the date of the Separation, 114,626,250 shares of common stock of GXO were distributed to XPO stockholders of record as of the record date. This share amount is utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all years presented prior to the Separation. For years prior to the Separation, it is assumed that there are no dilutive equity instruments as there were no equity awards of GXO outstanding prior to the Separation. For the year ended December 31, 2021, diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive stock awards that are outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock-based awards when the effect of the potential exercise would be anti-dilutive. Approximately 88,000 shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were as follows: Year Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions, shares in thousands, except per share amounts) 2021 2020 2019 Net income (loss) attributable to common shares $ 153 $ (31) $ 60 Basic weighted-average common shares 114,632 114,626 114,626 Diluted effect of stock-based awards 965 — — Diluted weighted-average common shares 115,597 114,626 114,626 Basic earnings (loss) per share $ 1.33 $ (0.27) $ 0.52 Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 1.32 $ (0.27) $ 0.52 |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 19. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of its business. These proceedings may include personal injury claims arising from the transportation and handling of goods, contractual disputes and employment-related claims, including alleged violations of wage and hour laws. The Company establishes accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews and adjusts accruals for loss contingencies quarterly and as additional information becomes available. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or discloses that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on Management’s assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. Management of the Company believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. Management of the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which the Company is presently a party will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs incurred related to these matters are expensed as incurred. The Company carries liability and excess umbrella insurance policies that are deemed sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting its operations. In the event the Company is required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively impacted. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party | 20. Related Party Prior to the Separation, the Company did not operate as a standalone business and the consolidated financial statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of XPO. Transactions between the Company and XPO, and other non-GXO subsidiaries of XPO, that occurred prior to the Separation have been classified as related-party transactions. Transactions that originated with XPO prior to the Separation were cash settled or forgiven as of August 2, 2021. For amounts that were forgiven, the amounts have been recorded as an adjustment to XPO Investment. Allocation of General Corporate Expenses The Consolidated Statements of Operations include expenses for certain centralized functions and other programs provided and/or administered by XPO that were charged directly to the Company prior to the Separation. In addition, for purposes of preparing these consolidated financial statements, a portion of XPO’s total corporate expenses was allocated to the Company. See Note — 2 Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies for a discussion of the methodology used to allocate such costs for purposes of preparing these consolidated financial statements. Prior to the Separation, certain shared costs were allocated to the Company from XPO’s corporate overhead. Costs of $185 million, $223 million and $166 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, have been reflected in Selling, general and administrative expense; Depreciation and amortization expense; and Transaction and integration costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These amounts may not reflect the costs GXO would have incurred had the Company been a standalone entity during the years presented. Transactions with XPO and its non-GXO Subsidiaries Revenue and costs generated from XPO prior to the Separation were as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 2019 Revenue $ 8 $ 7 $ 10 Costs 80 115 148 Balances with XPO and its non-GXO Subsidiaries In connection with the Separation, GXO related-party amounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were cash settled or forgiven as of August 2, 2021. Assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets included the following related-party amounts: December 31, (In millions) 2021 2020 Amounts due from XPO and its affiliates Trade receivables (1) $ — $ 9 Other current assets (2) — 2 Other long-term assets (3) — 53 Amounts due to XPO and its affiliates Trade payables (4) — 20 Other current liabilities (5) — 11 Accrued expenses (6) — 2 Loans payable (7) — 486 (1) Primarily represents trade receivables generated from revenue with XPO.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Prior to the Separation, the Company’s financial statements were prepared on a standalone combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of XPO (the “historical financial statements”). On August 2, 2021, the Company became a standalone publicly-traded company, and its financial statements post-Separation are prepared on a consolidated basis. The combined consolidated financial statements for all periods presented prior to the Separation are now also referred to as “Consolidated Financial Statements,” and have been prepared under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Prior to the Separation, the Company’s historical assets and liabilities presented were wholly owned by XPO and were reflected on a historical cost basis. In connection with the Separation, the Company’s assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company on a carry-over basis. Prior to the Separation, the historical results of operations included allocations of XPO costs and expenses including XPO’s corporate function which incurred a variety of expenses including, but not limited to, information technology, human resources, accounting, sales and sales operations, procurement, executive services, legal, corporate finance and communications. An allocation of these expenses is included to burden all business units comprising XPO’s historical results of operations, including GXO. The charges reflected have been either specifically identified or allocated using drivers including proportionally adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which includes adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments, or headcount. The Company believes the assumptions regarding allocations of XPO corporate expenses are reasonable. Nevertheless, the consolidated financial statements may not reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows had the Company been a standalone entity during the periods presented. The majority of these allocated costs are recorded within Selling, general and administrative expense; Depreciation and amortization expense; and Transaction and integration costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All charges and allocations for facilities, functions and services performed by XPO organizations have been deemed settled in cash by GXO to XPO in the year in which the cost was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the periods ended before the Separation, the Company was a member of the XPO consolidated group, and its U.S. taxable income was included in XPO’s consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as in the tax returns filed by XPO with certain state and local taxing jurisdictions. For the periods ended after the Separation, the Company will file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as state and local income tax returns. The Company’s foreign income tax returns are filed on a full-year basis. |
Consolidation | The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GXO Logistics, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical information and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, income taxes, loss contingencies, valuation of long-lived assets including goodwill and intangible assets and their associated estimated useful lives, collectability of accounts receivable and the fair value of financial instruments. Actual results may vary from those estimates. The COVID-19 pandemic has created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, which may cause further business slowdowns or shutdowns, depress demand for the logistics business, and adversely impact the Company’s estimates, particularly those that require consideration of forecasted financial information. The business and economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has made calculating estimates and assumptions more difficult. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain amounts reported for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less on the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Bank overdraft positions occur when total outstanding issued checks exceed available cash balances at a single financial institution. The Company had no bank overdrafts as of December 31, 2021 and $27 million as of December 31, 2020, recorded within Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable represents the Company’s unconditional right to receive consideration from its customers. The Company records accounts receivable at the contractual amount and records an allowance for doubtful accounts for the amount it estimates it may not collect. In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers historical collection experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality and risk of its customers, any specific customer collection issues, current economic conditions and other factors that may impact its customers’ ability to pay. The Company writes off accounts receivable balances once the receivables are no longer deemed collectible. |
Trade Receivables Securitization and Factoring Programs | Trade Receivables Securitization and Factoring Programs The Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions under factoring agreements. The Company also sells certain European trade accounts receivable under a securitization program that contains financial covenants customary for this type of arrangement, including maintaining a defined average days sales outstanding ratio. The Company accounts for these transactions as sales of receivables and presents cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company accounts for transfers under its securitization and factoring arrangements as sales because the Company sells full title and ownership in the underlying receivables and control of the receivables is considered transferred. For these transfers, the receivables are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the date of transfer. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment, which includes assets recorded under finance leases, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or, in the case of acquired property and equipment, at fair value at the date of acquisition. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expenses as incurred. For computer software developed, all costs incurred during the planning and evaluation stages are expensed as incurred. Software development costs meet the criteria for capitalization once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Land and assets held within construction in progress are not depreciated. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are described below: Estimated Useful Life Buildings 40 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or term of lease Technology and automated systems 3 to 15 years Warehouse equipment and other 3 to 15 years Computer, software and equipment 1 to 5 years |
Lease Obligations | Lease Obligations The Company has operating leases primarily for real estate, warehouse equipment, trucks, trailers, containers and material handling equipment and finance leases for equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes lease assets and liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Amounts received from a landlord are classified as a lease incentive and included as a reduction to the lease asset. Lease incentives received are included within operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. For most of the Company’s leases, the implicit rate cannot be readily determined and, as a result, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rates at commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. For leases that include fixed rental payments for both the use of the asset (“lease costs”) as well as for other occupancy or service costs relating to the asset (“non-lease costs”), the Company generally includes both the lease costs and non-lease costs as a single lease component in the measurement of the lease asset and liability. The Company excludes variable lease payments (such as payments based on an index) from its initial measurement of the lease liability. The Company includes options to extend or terminate a lease in the lease term when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company is comprised of two operating segments based on the operating results regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resource allocation and the performance of the business. These two operating segments have been aggregated into a single reporting segment. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company records goodwill as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment, or one level below. The Company has two reporting units: i) Americas, Asia and Pacific and ii) Europe. The Company measures goodwill impairment, if any, as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The review of goodwill impairment consists of either using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their respective carrying values or a one-step quantitative impairment test. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, including declines in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization of the Company and macroeconomic conditions. If, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, additional quantitative impairment testing is performed. The quantitative test requires that the carrying value of each reporting unit be compared with its estimated fair value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recorded for the difference (up to the carrying value of goodwill). The Company uses the income approach and/or a market-based approach to determine the reporting units’ fair values, which are based on discounted cash flows. The determination of discounted cash flows of the reporting units and assets and liabilities within the reporting units requires significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include but are not limited to, the discount rate, terminal growth rates, earnings before depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures forecasts. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company evaluates the merits of each significant assumption, both individually and in the aggregate, used to determine the fair value of the reporting units, as well as the fair values of the corresponding assets and liabilities within the reporting units. The Company’s intangible assets consist of customer relationships which are amortized on a straight-line basis or over their respective useful life using patterns that reflect the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be realized. The Company reviews its customer relationships for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. |
Impairment of Long-lived assets | Impairment of Long-lived assets The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator is present, the company evaluates recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group. If the assets are impaired, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate consistent with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. |
Insurance liabilities | Insurance liabilities The Company participates in a combination of self-insurance programs and purchased insurance to provide for the costs of medical, casualty, general liability, vehicular, cargo, cyber attack and workers’ compensation claims. The Company estimates insurance liabilities using several factors, primarily based on independent third-party actuary determined amounts, historical claims experience, estimates of incurred but not reported claims, demographic factors and severity factors. Liabilities for the risks the Company retains, including estimates of claims incurred but not reported, are not discounted and are estimated, in part, by considering historical cost experience, demographic and severity factors, and judgments about current and expected levels of cost per claim and retention levels. Changes in these assumptions and factors can impact actual costs paid to settle the claims and those amounts may be different than estimates. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue by providing supply chain services for its customers, including warehousing and distribution, order fulfillment, reverse logistics, packaging and labeling, factory and aftermarket support, and inventory management contracts ranging from a few months to a few years. Generally, the Company’s contracts provide the customer an integrated service that includes two or more services, including but not limited to facility and equipment costs, construction, repair and maintenance services and labor. For these contracts, the Company does not consider the services to be distinct within the context of the contract when the separate scopes of work combine into a single commercial objective or capability for the customer. Accordingly, the Company generally identifies one performance obligation in its contracts, which is a series of distinct services that remain substantially the same over time and possess the same pattern of transfer. Revenue is recognized using the series guidance over the period in which services are provided under the terms of the Company’s contractual relationships with its clients. The transaction price is based on the amount specified in the contract with the customer and contains fixed and variable consideration. In general, the fixed consideration in a contract represents reimbursement for facility and equipment costs incurred to satisfy the performance obligation and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. The variable consideration is comprised of cost reimbursement determined based on the costs incurred, per-unit pricing is determined based on units provided, and time and materials pricing is determined based on the hours of services provided. The variable consideration component is recognized over time based on the level of activity. Generally, pricing can be adjusted based on contractual provisions related to achieving agreed-upon performance metrics, changes in volumes, services and market conditions. Revenue relating to these pricing adjustments is estimated and included in the consideration if it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in the future. The estimate of variable consideration is determined by the expected value or most likely amount method and factors in current, past and forecasted experience with the customer. Customers are billed based on terms specified in the revenue contract and they pay us according to approved payment terms. Contract Assets Contract assets consist of two components, customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfill a contract. The Company capitalizes direct and incremental costs incurred to obtain and to fulfill a contract in advance of revenue recognition, such as certain labor, third-party service and related product costs. These costs are recognized as an asset if the Company expects to recover them. Costs incurred to obtain a contract with an amortization period of one year or less are expensed as incurred. Contract fulfillment costs are recognized consistent with the transfer of the underlying performance obligations to the customer based on the specific contracts to which they relate. Contract assets are primarily amortized to Direct operating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the contract term. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities, which are recorded within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, represent the Company’s obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration or the amount is due from the customer. |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments The Company records all its derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as a hedge, and effective as part of a hedge transaction, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or as a basis adjustment to the underlying hedged item and reclassified to earnings in the year in which the hedged item affects earnings. The effective portion of the gain or loss on hedges of foreign net investments is generally not reclassified to earnings unless the net investment is disposed of. To the extent derivatives do not qualify or are not designated as hedges, or are ineffective, their changes in fair value are recorded in earnings immediately, which may subject us to increased earnings volatility. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the equity instrument’s grant date fair value. For grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) subject to service-based or performance-based vesting conditions only, the Company establishes the fair value based on the market price on the date of the grant. For stock options, the Company determines the fair value based on its stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company recognizes the grant date fair value of equity awards as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. |
Defined Benefit Plan | Defined Benefit Plan The Company calculates its employer-sponsored retirement plan obligations using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies. Assumptions include discount rates, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, mortality rates and other factors. The assumptions used in recording the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets represent the Company’s best estimates based on available information regarding historical experience and factors that may cause future expectations to differ. The Company’s obligation and future expense amounts could be materially impacted by differences in experience or changes in assumptions. The impact of plan amendments, actuarial gains and losses and prior-service costs are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and are generally amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost over the remaining service period of the active employees covered by the defined benefit pension plans. Cumulative gains and losses over 10% of the greater of the beginning of year benefit obligation or fair value of the plan assets are amortized over the expected average life expectancy. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method on a legal entity and jurisdictional basis, under which the Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The calculation of the annual effective tax rate relies on several factors including pre-tax earnings, various jurisdiction statutory tax rates, tax credits, uncertain tax positions, valuation allowances and differences between tax laws and accounting laws. The effective tax rate in any financial statement period may be materially impacted by changes in the blend and/or level of earnings by individual taxing jurisdictions. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized based on all available evidence. The Company records Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income tax as a period cost. The Company uses judgments and estimates in evaluating its tax positions. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by U.S. Federal, state and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if based on the technical merits of the position it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authority. The Company adjusts these tax liabilities, including related interest and penalties, based on the current facts and circumstances. The Company reports tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. |
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions | Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use their local currency as their functional currency are translated to U.S. dollars (“USD”) using the exchange rate prevailing at each balance sheet date, with balance sheet currency translation adjustments recorded in AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company converts foreign currency transactions recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to USD by applying the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions and the effects of remeasuring monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material for any of the years presented. |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted | Adoption of New Accounting Standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The ASU also clarifies and amends existing guidance to enhance consistency and comparability among reporting entities. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022. The Company intends to apply this guidance when modifications of contracts that include LIBOR occur, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. |
