Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

Recently adopted accounting standards and recently issued accounting pronouncements

Adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)

In February 2016 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, which changes how lessees account for leases. For most leases, a liability will be recorded on the balance sheet based on the present value of future lease obligations with a corresponding right-of-use asset. For leases classified as operating leases, the Company will recognize lease costs on a straight-line basis based on the combined amortization of the lease obligation and the right-of-use asset. Other leases will be accounted for as finance leases similar to capital leases under the previous accounting standard.  Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using a modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company elected a package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard. The practical expedients adopted allow the Company to carry forward its historical lease classification and to not separate and allocate the consideration paid between lease and non-lease components included within a contract. The Company also adopted an optional transition method that waives the requirement to apply the ASU to the comparative periods presented within the financial statements in the year of adoption. Therefore, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be

reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting policies under Topic 840. See Note 5 for additional discussion of the Company’s adoption of Topic 842 and its lease accounting policies.

Adoption of ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, which allows entities to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019, which resulted in an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income and a decrease in retained earnings of $0.9 million.

Other recently adopted accounting guidance

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) issued SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, which amends certain of the Commission’s disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other Commission disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. However, in certain instances, the amendments expanded disclosure requirements, including those related to interim disclosures about changes in shareholders’ equity. As amended in the final rule, registrants must now analyze changes in shareholders’ equity, in the form of a reconciliation for the current year-to-date interim periods, with subtotals for each interim period. The Company adopted Release No. 33-10532 during the first quarter of 2019, which resulted in changes in shareholders’ equity presented within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Topic	Description of Guidance	Effective Date	Status of Company's Evaluation
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASU 2016-13), and subsequent amendments	Requires that credit losses for certain types of financial instruments be estimated based on expected losses and also modifies the impairment models for available-for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. Applied using a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted.	January 1, 2020	The Company has formed an implementation team to evaluate the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. Based on the Company's preliminary evaluation, the ASU is expected to primarily impact trade accounts receivable; however, the Company is continuing to evaluate the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill (ASU 2017-04)	Eliminates Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment loss will instead be measured at the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the recorded amount of goodwill. Applied on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted.	January 1, 2020	The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements. However, the Company does not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial statements or disclosures.
Fair value measurement (ASU 2018-13)	Eliminates such disclosures as the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and adds new disclosure requirements for Level 3 measurements. Certain of the provisions are to be applied retrospectively with other provisions  applied prospectively.	January 1, 2020	The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements. However, the Company does not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial statements but may have significant impact on disclosures for any level 3 assets or liabilities.

Implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract (ASU 2018-15)	Aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this update. Applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.	January 1, 2020	The Company plans to adopt this ASU prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption and is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements. However, the Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
