Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Derivatives | NOTE 9. DERIVATIVES The Company's global operations and product lines expose it to risks from fluctuations in metal commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and natural gas, electricity and other energy prices. One objective of the Company's risk management program is to mitigate these risks using derivative instruments. The Company enters into (i) metal commodity futures and forward contracts to mitigate the risk of unanticipated changes in gross margin due to price volatility in these commodities, (ii) foreign currency forward contracts that match the expected settlements for purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies and (iii) energy derivatives to mitigate the risk related to price volatility of electricity and natural gas. At November 30, 2020, the notional values of the Company's foreign currency and commodity commitments were $257.8 million and $203.3 million, respectively. At August 31, 2020, the notional values of the Company's foreign currency and commodity contract commitments were $138.5 million and $195.8 million, respectively. The following table provides information regarding the Company's commodity contract commitments at November 30, 2020:
_________________ MT = Metric Ton MW(h) = Megawatt hour The Company designates only those contracts which closely match the terms of the underlying transaction as hedges for accounting purposes. Certain foreign currency and commodity contracts were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, although management believes they are essential economic hedges. Commodity derivatives not designated as hedging instruments resulted in a loss, before income taxes, of $5.6 million and $1.3 million in the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, recorded in cost of goods sold within the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Commodity derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedging instruments resulted in a net gain of $1.2 million and $0.7 million recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See Note 10, Fair Value, for the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Fair value | NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE The Company has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Levels within the hierarchy are defined within the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies footnote in our 2020 Form 10-K. The following tables summarize information regarding the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
_________________ (1) Investment deposit accounts are short-term in nature, and the value is determined by principal plus interest. The investment portfolio mix can change each period based on the Company's assessment of investment options. (2) Derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 are commodity futures contracts valued based on quoted market prices in the London Metal Exchange or New York Mercantile Exchange. Amounts in Level 2 are based on broker quotes in the over-the-counter market. Derivative liabilities classified as Level 3 are described below. Further discussion regarding the Company's use of derivative instruments is included in Note 9, Derivatives. The fair value estimate of the Level 3 commodity derivative is based on an internally developed discounted cash flow model primarily utilizing unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data. The Company forecasts future energy rates using a range of historical prices ("floating rate"). The floating rate is the only significant unobservable input used in the Company's discounted cash flow model.
Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 commodity derivative recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fluctuation in energy rates over time may cause volatility in the fair value estimate and is the primary reason for the unrealized gain in other comprehensive income ("OCI") in the three months ended November 30, 2020.
_________________ (1) Gains recognized in OCI are included in the unrealized holding gain on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. There were no material non-recurring fair value remeasurements during the three months ended November 30, 2020 or 2019. The carrying values of the Company's short-term items approximate fair value. The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:
_________________ (1) The fair value of the notes was determined based on indicated market values. (2) The Poland Term Loan contains variable interest rates, and as a result, the carrying value approximates fair value.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and contingencies | NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal and Environmental Matters In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company becomes involved in litigation, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental matters. See Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2020 Form 10-K. The Company has received notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") or state agencies with similar responsibility that it is considered a potentially responsible party at several sites, none of which are owned by the Company, and may be obligated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") or similar state statutes to conduct remedial investigations, feasibility studies, remediation and/or removal of alleged releases of hazardous substances or to reimburse the EPA for such activities. The Company is involved in litigation or administrative proceedings with regard to several of these sites in which the Company is contesting, or at the appropriate time may contest, its liability at the sites. In addition, the Company has received information requests with regard to other sites which may be under consideration by the EPA as potential CERCLA sites. Some of these environmental matters or other proceedings may result in fines, penalties or judgments being assessed against the Company. At November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020, the Company had $0.5 million and $0.7 million accrued for cleanup and remediation costs in connection with CERCLA sites, respectively. The estimation process is based on currently available information which is, in many cases, preliminary and incomplete. Total environmental liabilities, including CERCLA sites, were $3.2 million and $3.4 million at November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020, respectively, of which $2.5 million and $2.7 million were classified as other long-term liabilities at November 30, 2020 and August 31, 2020, respectively. These amounts have not been discounted to their present values. Due to evolving remediation technology, changing regulations, possible third-party contributions, the inherent shortcomings of the estimation process and other factors, amounts accrued could vary significantly from amounts paid. Historically, the amounts the Company has ultimately paid for such remediation activities have not been material. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the potential impact of these contingencies, and that the outcomes of the suits and proceedings described above, and other miscellaneous litigation and proceedings now pending, will not have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
