Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved from time to time in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings arising out of the ordinary conduct of its business. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition. Environmental The Company is subject to a broad range of federal, foreign, state and local laws and regulations relating to pollution and protection of the environment. The Company believes that it is currently in substantial compliance with applicable environmental requirements and does not currently anticipate any material adverse effect on its operations, financial or competitive position as a result of its efforts to comply with environmental requirements. Some risk of environmental liability is inherent, however, in the nature of the Company’s business and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that material environmental liabilities will not arise. Equipment Lease Agreement In the third quarter of 2011, the Company's state-of-the-art spunmelt line in Waynesboro, Virginia commenced commercial production. The plant expansion increased capacity to meet demand for nonwoven materials in the hygiene and healthcare applications in the U.S. The line was principally funded by a seven year equipment lease with a capitalized cost of $53.6 million. From the commencement of the lease to its fourth anniversary date, the Company will make annual lease payments of $8.3 million. From the fourth anniversary date to the end of the lease term, the Company's annual lease payments may change, as defined in the lease agreement. The aggregate future lease payments under the agreement, subject to adjustment, are expected to approximate $58 million. The lease includes covenants, events of default and other provisions that requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and other requirements. Providência Tax Claims Total consideration paid for the acquisition of Providência includes $47.9 million of deferred purchase price which is denominated in Brazilian Reais. The Deferred Consideration accretes at a rate of 9.5% per annum compounded daily, which shall be paid to the selling stockholders to the extent certain existing and potential tax claims of Providência are resolved in Providência's favor. At June 28, 2014, the outstanding balance of the Deferred Consideration was $48.2 million. If the Company incurs actual tax liability with respect to the Providência Tax Claims, the amount of the Deferred Consideration owed to the selling stockholders will be reduced by the amount of such actual tax liability. The Company will be responsible for any actual tax liability in excess of the Deferred Consideration. The Deferred Consideration is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a noncurrent liability as the settlement of existing and potential claims is expected to be greater than one year. Refer to Note 4, "Acquisitions" for further information on the accounting of the Deferred Consideration. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest In connection with the Providência Acquisition, as required by Brazilian law, PGI Acquisition Company filed the Mandatory Tender Offer registration request with the CVM in order to launch, after its approval, a tender offer to acquire all of the remaining outstanding capital stock of Providência from the minority shareholders. As of June 28, 2014, the Mandatory Tender Offer was still under review by the CVM. Hence, the conditions for the launch of the Mandatory Tender Offer have not been met as of June 28, 2014. However, once the Mandatory Tender Offer is approved and launched, the minority shareholders will have the right, but not the obligation, to sell their remaining outstanding capital stock of Providência. Given such right of the minority shareholders, the Company determined that ASC 480 requires the noncontrolling interest to be presented as mezzanine equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and adjusted to its estimated maximum redemption amount at each balance sheet date. At June 28, 2014, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was $100.5 million. Refer to Note 15, "Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest" for further information on the accounting of the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Financing Obligation As a result of the acquisition of Fiberweb, the Company acquired a manufacturing facility in Old Hickory, Tennessee, the assets of which included a utility plant used to generate steam for use in its manufacturing process. Upon completion of its construction in 2011, the utility plant was sold to a unrelated third-party and subsequently leased back by Fiberweb for a period of 10 years. The transaction was appropriately accounted for by Fiberweb under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as a sale-leaseback whereby the assets were excluded from the balance sheet and monthly lease payments were recorded as rent expense. The Company determined that current accounting guidance under GAAP disallowed sale-leaseback treatment if there was continuing involvement with the property. As a result, the transaction is not accounted for as a sale-leaseback, but as a direct financing lease under GAAP, recognizing the assets as part of property, plant and equipment and a related financing obligation as a long-term liability. Cash payments to the lessor are allocated between interest expense and amortization of the financing obligation. At the end of the lease term, the Company will recognize the sale of the utility plant, however, no gain or loss will be recognized as the financing obligation will equal the expected carrying value of the assets. At June 28, 2014, the outstanding balance of the financing obligation was $19.3 million, which is included in Other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
