Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Fair value of financial instruments | Fair value of financial instrumentsThe Company records all financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, other accruals, and notes payable at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short term or stated rates. Investments in marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value. The 6.50% senior secured notes due 2023 (senior secured notes) were carried at a cost of $395.3 million at March 31, 2019. The fair value of the senior secured notes at March 31, 2019, as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $366.8 million.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] | Adoption of new accounting standards On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (New Lease Standard) to increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. Titan elected the modified retrospective with cumulative effect transition approach to adopt the New Lease Standard and thus will not restate its comparative periods in the year of transition. The Company adopted the practical expedients of the New Lease Standard which include (i) not reassessing whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) not reassessing the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) not revaluing initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which resulted in a net credit adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, of $0.6 million. The New Lease Standard did not materially impact operating results or liquidity. Further disclosures related to the New Lease Standard are included in Note 10, Leases. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" effective January 1, 2019. The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 TCJA and improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. As a result of adopting this standard, the Company recorded a $4.9 million reclassification to decrease accumulated other comprehensive income and increase retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (the New Revenue Standard), effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach which requires the recognition of the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of the New Revenue Standard resulted in the recognition of an immaterial cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018, and had an immaterial effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under the New Revenue Standard, which prescribes that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Titan recognizes revenue when the performance obligations specified in the Company's contracts have been satisfied. Titan's contracts typically contain a single performance obligation that is fulfilled on the date of delivery based on shipping terms stipulated in the contract. The impact on net sales was immaterial and the disaggregation of revenues, which is according to the major markets the Company serves, has not changed from how it is presented in Note 18, Segment Information in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" on January 1, 2018, using the retrospective transition method. This standard changed the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost (net benefit cost) within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Under the previous guidance, net benefit cost was reported as an employee cost within operating income. The amendment requires the bifurcation of net benefit cost, with the service cost component to be presented with other employee compensation costs in operating income, while the other components will be reported separately outside of income from operations. The Company early-adopted ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract," effective September 30, 2018, using the retrospective approach. ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to apply the guidance on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to recognize as an asset and which costs to expense. Costs to develop or obtain internal-use software that cannot be capitalized under Subtopic 350-40, such as training costs and certain data conversion costs, also cannot be capitalized for a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments in this update require a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to determine whether an implementation activity relates to the preliminary project stage, the application development stage, or the post-implementation stage. Costs for implementation activities in the application development stage will be capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages will be expensed. As a result of the adoption of this accounting standard, the Company capitalized an aggregate of $7.4 million of implementation costs for the year ended December 31, 2018, from selling, general and administration in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118." This ASU updates the income tax accounting in US GAAP to reflect the SEC's interpretive guidance released on December 22, 2017, when the 2017 TCJA was enacted. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." This update provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Disclosure requirements under Topic 718 remain unchanged. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements; no changes were made to the terms or conditions of share-based payments. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018, with no resulting changes to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
