Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(14) Income Taxes The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 23.1 % and 28.0 % , respectively, and was 25.9 % and 25.6 % for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for all periods is higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 .0%, primarily from non-deductible items and ongoing operations in foreign jurisdictions which have tax rates in excess of the U.S. federal statutory rate. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were favorably impacted by the utilization of foreign tax credits of $ 4.5 million and $ 12.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was unfavorably impacted by the identification of an error in the tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2022 pertaining to certain net operating loss carryforwards that should have been eliminated as part of a worthless stock deduction taken in the fourth quarter of 2022. As such, we recognized an additional income tax expense of $ 7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 with a corresponding decrease to deferred tax assets to correct this immaterial misstatement. Management has determined that this misstatement was not material to any of its previously issued financial statements. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was favorably impacted by approximately $ 14.9 million in income tax benefits recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from reversals of uncertain tax positions in foreign jurisdictions and adjustments to valuation allowances on foreign operations. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development reached agreement on Pillar Two Model Rules (“Pillar Two”) to implement a minimum 15.0 % tax rate on certain multinational companies. Participating countries are in various stages of proposing and enacting tax laws to implement the Pillar Two framework. We determined these rules did not have a material impact on our taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and we will continue to evaluate the impact of these proposals and legislative changes as new guidance emerges. We had approximately $ 77.6 million in gross U.S. foreign tax credit deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance of $ 50.0 million against them as of December 31, 2023. We continue to evaluate the realizability of our U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards and may have additional valuation allowance releases in future periods if we achieve positive cumulative income results of appropriate character and timing that provide sufficient positive evidence to do so. We had unrecognized tax benefits of $ 3.0 million as of September 30, 2024 , all of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. It is reasonably possible that $ 2.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits could be settled in the next twelve-month period due to the conclusion of tax audits or due to the expiration of statute of limitations. Unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 totaled $ 4.1 million.
