Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Liabilities | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Leases - Sales Leaseback Obligations We have three lease arrangements that are treated as sale-leaseback financing transactions. The lessors' building costs are depreciated over an estimated useful life beginning at the commencement of the rental terms, at which point such lease assets recorded in property, plant and equipment had a corresponding offset within long-term borrowings. The table below reflects the total remaining cash payments related to all transactions during the rental term at December 31, 2018:
|  | Sale-leaseback obligations
2019 |  | $ | 5.3 |
2020 |  | 5.4 |
2021 |  | 5.4 |
2022 |  | 5.7 |
2023 |  | 5.7 |
Thereafter |  | 77.1 |
Total minimum payments |  | $ | 104.6 |
Leases - Other We use various leased facilities and equipment in our operations. The terms for these leased assets vary depending on the lease agreement. Net rental expense under operating leases were $49.7 million, $52.7 million and $48.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At December 31, 2018, future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows:
|  | Operating Leases
2019 |  | $ | 34.6 |
2020 |  | 23.5 |
2021 |  | 17.1 |
2022 |  | 13.2 |
2023 |  | 11.5 |
Thereafter |  | 16.6 |
Total minimum payments |  | $ | 116.5 |
Guarantees We guarantee certain of our customers’ obligations to third parties, whereby any default by our customers on their obligations could force us to make payments to the applicable creditors. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had outstanding bank guarantees of $12.7 million and $15.2 million, respectively, which expire between 2019 and 2022. We monitor the obligations to evaluate whether we have a liability at the balance sheet date, for which none existed as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. Other We are subject to various pending lawsuits, legal proceedings and other claims in the ordinary course of business, including civil, regulatory and environmental matters. These litigation matters may involve third-party indemnification obligations and/or insurance covering all or part of any potential damage against us. All of these matters are subject to many uncertainties and, accordingly, we cannot determine the ultimate outcome of the proceedings and other claims at this time, although management does not believe that such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of Axalta. The potential effects, if any, on such consolidated financial statements will be recorded in the period in which these matters are probable and estimable.
