Basis Of Presentation [Abstract] |
Basis Of Presentation | In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Tredegar Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Tredegar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) contain all adjustments necessary to state fairly, in all material respects, Tredegar’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2018, the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated changes in shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. All such adjustments, unless otherwise detailed in the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements, are deemed to be of a normal, recurring nature. The Company operates on a calendar fiscal year except for the Aluminum Extrusions segment, which operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year basis. As such, the fiscal third quarter for 2018 and 2017 for this segment references 13-week periods ended September 23, 2018 and September 24, 2017, respectively. The Company does not believe the impact of reporting the results of this segment as stated above is material to the consolidated financial results. The financial position data as of December 31, 2017 that is included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”) but does not include all disclosures required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the 2017 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation (see Note 14 for additional detail). Revenue Recognition. Revenue from the sale of products, which is shown net of estimated sales returns and allowances, is recognized at a point in time when control has passed to the customer. Control passes to the customer generally when the customer takes physical possession or when title passes if defined separately in the sales agreement. Amounts billed to customers related to freight are classified as sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The cost of freight is classified as a separate line in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between Tredegar and its customers (such as value-added taxes) are accounted for on a net basis and therefore excluded from revenues. See Note 11 for disaggregation of revenue by segment and type. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accounts receivable and other receivables, net, were $125.4 million and $120.1 million, respectively, made up of the following:
|  | September 30, |  | December 31,
(In thousands) | 2018 |  | 2017
Customer receivables | $ | 125,985 |  |  | $ | 113,556 |
Other accounts and notes receivable | 5,147 |  |  | 9,883 |
Total accounts and other receivables | 131,132 |  |  | 123,439 |
Less: Allowance for bad debts and sales returns | (5,764 | ) |  | (3,304 | )
Total accounts and other receivables, net | $ | 125,368 |  |  | $ | 120,135 |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had no material bad-debt expense and there were no material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018. Payment terms start from the date of satisfaction of the performance obligation and vary from COD (cash on delivery) to 120 days. The Company’s contracts generally include one performance obligation, which is satisfied at a point in time. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods (for example, changes in transaction price), was not material. Revenue expected to be recognized in any future period related to remaining performance obligations, excluding i) revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, ii) contracts where revenue is recognized as invoiced and iii) variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations, is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial results.
