Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The preparation of consolidated annual and quarterly financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We have made a number of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. We can give no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Some of the more significant estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts, cash discounts, valuation of inventory, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, product liability exposures, asbestos, environmental and litigation matters, valuation of deferred tax assets, share based compensation and sales returns and other allowances. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Note 1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for changes made as a result of the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases, (“ASU 2016-02”), described under the heading, “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” below and in Note 3, “Leases.” Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Standards that were adopted Leases Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases, (“ASU 2016-02”) using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption. The most significant impact in adopting the new standard was the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet for operating leases, while the accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. The adoption of the new standard did not materially impact our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. In adopting ASU 2016-02, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward our historical lease identification and lease classifications. In addition, upon adoption, we evaluated all of our leases, and in particular our real estate leases, to determine the appropriate lease term. In evaluating our leases, we determined that the lease term for one of our leases should be lengthened, as we concluded that it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the five-year renewal option in the lease. The lease term for all of our other leases remained unchanged. Additionally, we elected to apply the provisions of ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, which allows us to initially apply the new lease requirements as of the effective date. Comparative financial information for the prior periods presented were not restated but instead are reported under the accounting standards in effect in those prior periods. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the following changes in our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 (in thousands):
|  | Balance at December 31, 2018 |  |  | Adjustments Due to Adoption of ASU 2016-02 |  |  | Balance at January 1, 2019 |
Balance Sheet |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Operating lease right-of-use asset |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 38,580 |  |  | $ | 38,580 |
Sundry payables and accrued expenses |  |  | 31,033 |  |  |  | 7,232 |  |  |  | 38,265 |
Noncurrent operating lease liabilities |  |  | — |  |  |  | 31,348 |  |  |  | 31,348 |
See Note 3 for further information regarding our adoption of ASU 2016-02. Standards that are not yet adopted as of September 30, 2019 The following table provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted as of September 30, 2019, and that could have an impact on our financial statements:
Standard |  | Description |  | Date of adoption |  | Effects on the financial statements or other significant matters
ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment |  | This standard is intended to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. |  | January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted |  | The new standard will be applied prospectively. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact when performing our annual impairment test.
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses |  | This standard creates a single model to measure impairment on financial assets, which includes trade accounts receivable. An estimate of expected credit losses on trade accounts receivable over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception, based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. |  | January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted |  | We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the manner in which we estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable, or on our consolidated financial statements.
