Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Carlisle Companies Incorporated (the "Company", "we", "our", "us" or "Carlisle"). The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S."), and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and, of necessity, include some amounts that are based upon management estimates and judgments. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include assets, liabilities, net sales, and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting solely of adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. We have reclassified certain prior period amounts related to the components of property, plant and equipment to conform to current period presentation (refer to Note 8).
