Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CIRCOR International, Inc. ("CIRCOR", the "Company", "us", "we" or "our") have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting, along with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. We prepare our interim financial information using the same accounting principles we use for our annual audited consolidated financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules. We believe that the disclosures made in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. We recommend that the financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. We operate and report financial information using a fiscal year ending December 31. The data periods contained within our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q reflect the results of operations for the 13-week, 26-week and 39-week periods which generally end on the Sunday nearest the calendar quarter-end date. Operating results for the three months ended March 29, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or any future quarter. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts, including the results of discontinued operations and reportable segment information, to conform to the current year presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information and statistical data included in these notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements relate to our continuing operations, with dollar amounts expressed in thousands (except per-share data). COVID-19 In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19, which continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world, as a pandemic. The outbreak is having an impact on the global economy, resulting in rapidly changing market and economic conditions. As of March 29, 2020 and through the date of this filing, the Company experienced a significant decline in its market capitalization below its consolidated book value. As a result, management concluded that there was a goodwill and an intangible asset impairment triggering event for the Company in the first quarter of 2020. Through its impairment analysis, the Company determined that goodwill in its Industrial segment was impaired and recognized a $116.2 million impairment. See Note 7, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for additional information on the goodwill impairment. The Company expects the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to negatively impact its results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect management's estimates and assumptions regarding the effects of COVID-19 as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
