Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments | COMMITMENTS The Company leases certain buildings, machinery and equipment under various operating leases. Total rental expense for operating leases amounted to $2.0 million, $2.3 million and $1.9 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company also has long-term lease agreements on certain timberlands in the Southern U.S. and New Zealand. U.S. leases typically have initial terms of approximately 30 to 65 years, with renewal provisions in some cases. New Zealand timberland lease terms range between 30 and 99 years. Such leases are generally non-cancellable and require minimum annual rental payments. Total expenditures for long-term leases and deeds on timberlands (including Crown Forest Licenses) amounted to $10.7 million, $11.3 million and $12.8 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At December 31, 2016, the future minimum payments under non-cancellable operating leases, timberland leases and other commitments were as follows:
| Operating Leases |  | Timberland Leases (a) |  | Commitments (b) |  | Total
2017 |  | $1,682 |  |  |  | $10,315 |  |  |  | $13,788 |  |  |  | $25,785 |
2018 | 876 |  |  | 9,127 |  |  | 8,532 |  |  | 18,535 |
2019 | 728 |  |  | 8,660 |  |  | 8,532 |  |  | 17,920 |
2020 | 588 |  |  | 8,295 |  |  | 8,532 |  |  | 17,415 |
2021 | 552 |  |  | 8,334 |  |  | 8,361 |  |  | 17,247 |
Thereafter (c) | 1,180 |  |  | 150,898 |  |  | 26,171 |  |  | 178,249 |
|  | $5,606 |  |  |  | $195,629 |  |  |  | $73,916 |  |  |  | $275,151 |
(a) | The majority of timberland leases are subject to increases or decreases based on either the Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index or market rates.
(b) | Commitments include payments expected to be made on derivative financial instruments (foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps), and standby letters of credit fees for industrial revenue bonds and construction of the Company’s office building.
(c) | Includes 20 years of future minimum payments for perpetual Crown Forest Licenses (“CFL”). A CFL consists of a license to use public or government owned land to operate a commercial forest. The CFL's extend indefinitely and may only be terminated upon a 35-year termination notice from the government. If no termination notice is given, the CFLs renew automatically each year for a one-year term. As of December 31, 2016, the New Zealand JV has four CFL’s under termination notice, two that are currently being relinquished as harvest activities are concluding, one each in 2034 and 2044, as well as two fixed term CFL’s expiring in 2062. The annual license fee is determined based on current market rental value, with triennial rent reviews.
