Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company’s effective tax rate of 92.7% differed from the expected U.S. statutory tax rate of 35.0% and was primarily impacted by U.S. pretax losses in the Company’s Corporate and Other segment where the tax benefits are not more-likely-than-not to be realized resulting in the recording of valuation allowance. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate of (143.6)% differed from the expected U.S. statutory tax rate of 35.0% and was impacted by the expected utilization of a portion of Spectrum Brand’s U.S. net operating losses that were previously recorded with valuation allowance against Spectrum Brand’s earnings during the fiscal year 2016 and recognition of tax benefits on losses from the Corporate and Other segment in the U.S. during the fiscal year 2016. The Company determined that a portion of the fiscal year 2016 losses related to the Corporate and Other segment were more-likely-than-not to be realized based on the expected taxable gain from the FGL Merger.
