Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by CTS Corporation (“CTS” "we", "our", "us" or the "Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes thereto, and other information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair statement, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Changes in Accounting Principles Beginning in January 2018, CTS adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" under the modified retrospective method, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the date of adoption. This approach was applied to contracts not completed as of December 31, 2017. At date of adoption, there was no significant change to our past revenue recognition practices and therefore no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was required. Beginning in April 2018, CTS elected to adopt the provisions of ASU No. 2017-12 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Target Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" under the modified retrospective method, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Prior to adoption, the company measured hedge effectiveness for all cash flow hedges quarterly and recognized any ineffectiveness in earnings in the current period. Upon adoption the company elected to review hedge effectiveness qualitatively as described further in Note 12 - Derivative Financial Instruments. At the date of adoption there was no significant hedge ineffectiveness recorded in earnings for hedged assets existing as of January 1, 2018, and therefore no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was required. Subsequent Events We have evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
