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" 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 ("United States" or "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, 2017. 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, revenues and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. In the Company's opinion, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting solely of adjustments of a normal, recurring nature, except as disclosed in Note 2 for new accounting standards adopted, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company revised (i) the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to include a subtotal of operating income, with other non-operating (income) expense, net reflected as a separate line item below interest expense, net and (ii) its segment measure of profit and loss to operating income (previously earnings before interest and taxes). The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation of operating income, including other operating (income) expense, net, operating income and other non-operating (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and operating income in Note 3. These changes were made to better reflect the Company's results of operations and to be consistent with the change in the measure of operating performance evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Discontinued Operations The results of operations for the Company's Carlisle FoodService Products ("CFS") segment have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Assets and liabilities subject to the completed sale of CFS have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.
