Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with ASC No. 740-270 “Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods.” These interim estimates are subject to variation due to several factors, including our ability to accurately forecast our pre-tax and taxable income and loss by jurisdiction, changes in laws or regulations, and expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or an actual year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective tax rate calculations could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings verses annual projections. Also, the impact of discrete items and non-deductible losses on our effective tax rate is greater when our pre-tax income is lower. All unrecognized tax positions would impact the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. With respect to penalties and interest incurred from income tax assessments or related to unrecognized tax benefits, the Company’s policy is to classify penalties as provision for income taxes and interest as interest expense in its consolidated statement of income. There were no material income tax penalties or interest accrued during the three or six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 31.0% and 26.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase compared to the prior-year period was due to a higher concentration of U.S. profits, lower tax credits, tax rate increases in certain jurisdictions and certain discrete items. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 32.3% and 27.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase compared to the prior-year period was due to a higher concentration of U.S. profits, lower tax credits, tax rate increases in certain jurisdictions and certain discrete items.

For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with ASC No. 740-270 “Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods.” These interim estimates are subject to variation due to several factors, including our ability to accurately forecast our pre-tax and taxable income and loss by jurisdiction, changes in laws or regulations, and expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year or an actual year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of including these jurisdictions on the quarterly effective tax rate calculations could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings verses annual projections. Also, the impact of discrete items and non-deductible losses on our effective tax rate is greater when our pre-tax income is lower.

All unrecognized tax positions would impact the Company's effective tax rate if recognized. With respect to penalties and interest incurred from income tax assessments or related to unrecognized tax benefits, the Company’s policy is to classify penalties as provision for income taxes and interest as interest expense in its consolidated statement of income. There were no material income tax penalties or interest accrued during the three or six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016.
