Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation Patrick’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to the prior period presentation to conform to the current period presentation of other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and accumulated other comprehensive loss in Note 11.
Fiscal Periods The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning approximately thirteen weeks. The first quarter ends on the Sunday closest to the end of the first thirteen-week period. The second and third quarters are thirteen weeks in duration and the fourth quarter is the remainder of the year. The third quarter of fiscal year 2021 ended on September 26, 2021 and the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 ended on September 27, 2020.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", a new standard to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021 and the adoption did not have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)", a new standard providing final guidance to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as SOFR. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity", a new standard that simplifies certain accounting treatments for convertible debt instruments. The guidance eliminates certain requirements that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features and simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification. In addition, the new guidance requires entities use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted net income per share calculation and include the effect of potential share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, with certain exceptions. Furthermore, the guidance requires new disclosures about events that occur during the reporting period that cause conversion contingencies to be met and about the fair value of convertible debt at the instrument level, among other things. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements. At this point in time, we anticipate the primary impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will be a reduction in non-cash interest expense as well as a reduction in diluted net income per share attributable to the application of the if-converted method for our convertible notes referenced in Note 9.
