Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2019, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the "2018 Form 10-K"). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
 
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.
 
It is our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. Historically, the effects of this practice were generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only existed within a reporting year. In the event that differences in actual closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, we will provide the appropriate disclosures. Our actual closing dates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes, which permits use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government (“UST”), the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate and the SIFMA Municipal Swap Rate. Pursuant to the amendments, SOFR will be an option to replace LIBOR as it is phased out. The amendments of ASU No. 2018-16 are effective for companies that have adopted ASU 2017-12 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year or at such time a company adopts ASU 2017-12. Early adoption of ASU 2018-16 is not permitted without previous adoption of ASU 2017-12. As the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-12 during the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2018-16 effective January 1, 2019, which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new standard also requires disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (early adoption is permitted). Initial guidance stated that the new standard be applied under a modified retrospective approach with periods prior to the adoption date being adjusted. During July 2018, however, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), providing another transition method allowing a company to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without adjusting prior periods. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 electing the cumulative-effect adjustment approach made available in ASU 2018-11. The Company has also elected the following practical expedients:

the package of three expedients which allows the Company not to re-assess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases;
the short-term lease practical expedient, which allows the Company to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) from recognition in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet;
the bifurcation of lease and non-lease components practical expedients, which did not require the Company to bifurcate lease and non-lease components for our real estate leases; and
the land easements practical expedient, which allows the Company to carry forward the accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements.
We have implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption. The standard had a material impact to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, but did not have a significant impact in the recognition, measurement or presentation of lease expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities for operating leases, while our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. See "Note 8. Leases" for further information.
