Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXESThe Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company’s Dutch subsidiary had a full valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset of $29.6 million at December 31, 2018. Historical earnings, future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies have been considered in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. Based on projected income and other key operating factors, the Company concluded in the second quarter of 2019 that it is more likely than not that the benefit of these deferred tax assets would be realized. As a result, the amount of the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets that are expected to be realized was reversed, resulting in a net tax benefit of $27.1 million recognized during the second quarter of 2019.
