Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations	Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations Basis of Presentation Nexeo Solutions, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is the result of the business combination between WLRH and Holdings. WLRH was incorporated in Delaware on March 24, 2014 and was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. WLRH completed its IPO in June 2014, raising approximately $500.0 million in cash proceeds. WLRH neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue prior to the Business Combination. On the Closing Date, WLRH and Holdings consummated the Business Combination, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, WLRH changed its name from “WL Ross Holding Corp.” to “Nexeo Solutions, Inc.” and changed the ticker symbol for its common stock on NASDAQ from “WLRH” to “NXEO”. WLRH was identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes and Holdings was identified as the acquiree and accounting predecessor. The Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes a “Predecessor” for the periods prior to the Closing Date. WLRH, which includes Holdings for periods subsequent to the Business Combination, was subsequently renamed Nexeo Solutions, Inc. and is the “Successor” for periods after the Closing Date. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting for the assets and liabilities of Holdings that is based on the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. See Note 3 for further discussion of the Business Combination. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the Closing Date, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the Predecessor period and for the Successor period are presented on a different basis and are, therefore, not comparable. On the Closing Date, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in WLRH’s fiscal year-end from December 31 to September 30. As a result of this change and the Business Combination, the condensed consolidated financial statements presented within this 10-Q include the transition period from October 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. The Successor periods in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 includes 22 days (June 9, 2016 through June 30, 2016) of the combined operating results, as well as the full three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 of WLRH’s operating results, which reflect its financial activity including transaction costs and equity structure changes in preparation of the consummation of the Business Combination. Operating results during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 for WLRH were not significant or meaningful and therefore are not presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Operating results for the Predecessor for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 are presented as they are reflective of the ongoing operations of the acquired business. The Predecessor periods in the condensed consolidated financial statements represent the operating results of Holdings and its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination.
