Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Contracts Derivative Contracts
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

We entered into forward contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated revenues during the year ended December 31, 2024. These forward contracts are recorded at fair value and have maturities of up to 34 months. As of December 31, 2024, we had outstanding cash flow hedges with total notional values of $1.7 billion. We classify cash flows related to our cash flow hedges as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

The total gross fair values of derivatives designated as hedging instruments recorded within the consolidated balance sheets were as follows (in millions):

Consolidated Balance Sheets Location
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
$55 
Other assets
$10 
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities
$(1)
Other long-term liabilities
$— 

As of December 31, 2024, approximately $54 million of the pre-tax derivative gains from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is expected to be recognized in subscription revenues within the next 12 months.

All hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions. We evaluate hedge effectiveness at the inception of the hedge prospectively, and on an ongoing basis both retrospectively and prospectively. We report changes in fair value of these cash flow hedges as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassify into earnings in the same period the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reclassified to subscription revenues were a gain of $14 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. There was no ineffectiveness in the Company’s cash flow hedging program for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts that we primarily use to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. These foreign currency forward contracts are recorded at fair value and have maturities of 12 months or less. The changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had foreign currency forward contracts with total notional values of $2.2 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, which were not designated as hedging instruments. The gross fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts was immaterial as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The gains (losses) recognized for foreign currency forward contracts from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Realized gains (losses) from settlement of the derivative assets and liabilities are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
All foreign currency forward contracts, both designated and not designated as hedging instruments, are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets, such as currency spot and forward rates.
