Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information Effective in fiscal year 2013, our segment presentations including allocation of certain corporate expenses were updated to reflect how we currently make financial decisions and allocate resources. We believe the changes provide a better understanding of the underlying profitability of each individual business segment. The changes were the following:
• | Allocation of certain long-term incentives, primarily stock-based compensation, from the category other income (expense), net to each business segment.
• | Allocation of the depreciation on capitalized interest associated with completed construction projects from the category other income (expense), net to each business segment.
• | The presentation of the impact of noncontrolling interest as its own line item. Noncontrolling interest impacts were previously netted within each individual segment. The majority of the noncontrolling interest pertains to our Industrial Chemicals segment.
• | We have combined other income (expense), net and corporate expense into one line item renamed “Corporate and other”.
The segment information provided below for all periods presented has been updated to reflect this presentation change for all periods presented.

_________________________________________
(1) | See Note 7 for details of restructuring and other charges (income). Amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2013, relate to Agricultural Products of $0.6 million, Specialty Chemicals of $7.6 million, Industrial Chemicals of $0.6 million and Corporate of $1.1 million. Amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2012, relate to Agricultural Products of $0.4 million, Specialty Chemicals of $(0.2) million, Industrial Chemicals of $0.9 million and Corporate of $0.6 million.
(2) | Our non-operating pension and postretirement costs are defined as those costs related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These costs are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and we consider these costs to be outside our operational performance. We exclude these non-operating pension and postretirement costs from our segments as we believe that removing them provides a better understanding of the underlying profitability of our businesses, provides increased transparency and clarity in the performance of our retirement plans and enhances period-over-period comparability. We continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in our operating segments noted above. We believe these elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees.
(3) | These charges were related to the expensing of the inventory fair value step-up resulting from the application of purchase accounting. The charges for the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily relate to a number of acquisitions completed in 2011. On the condensed consolidated statements of income, the charges presented are included in “Costs of sales and services”. No such charges occurred for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
