Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes: At September 30, 2014, the Company had $24.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits recorded in Other liabilities. If these unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected. At September 30, 2014, the Company had accrued interest and penalties of $2.4 million classified in Other liabilities. The Company regularly repatriates a portion of current year earnings from select non–U.S. subsidiaries. No provision is made for additional taxes on undistributed earnings of subsidiary companies that are intended and planned to be indefinitely invested in such subsidiaries. We intend to, and have plans to, reinvest these earnings indefinitely in our foreign subsidiaries to fund local operations and/or capital projects. The Company has ongoing income tax audits and legal proceedings which are at various stages of administrative or judicial review, of which the most significant items are discussed below. In addition, the Company has other ongoing tax audits and legal proceedings that relate to indirect taxes, such as value-added taxes, capital tax, sales and use taxes and property taxes, which are discussed in Note 12. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had one outstanding income tax case in Spain relating to fiscal year 2002. The Company has fully reserved the assessment originally asserted by the Spanish Tax Authority. The Company is awaiting a decision on its appeal, and in order to proceed with the appeal, the Company was required to post a bank guaranty, which as of September 30, 2014, was in the amount of Euro 1.9 million ($2.4 million). In addition to the above, the Company has also been a party to four cases related to dividend withholding tax controversies in Spain. Three of these cases have been decided. The fourth case (with a value of Euro 3.3 million or $4.2 million) which was under appeal, was heard by the Spanish National High Court in October, 2014. We received a favorable ruling during the fourth quarter of 2014. However, the ultimate outcome remains uncertain given the fact that the Spanish Tax Authority has the right to appeal. The aggregate value associated with these four cases is Euro 7.9 million ($10.1 million), which was fully reserved for as of September 30, 2014. Of this amount Euro 4.6 million ($5.9 million) was reflected in income taxes payable. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had posted bank guarantees of Euro 7.9 million ($10.1 million) associated with the appeals of these matters. In addition to the Spanish tax controversy, the Company has several other tax audits in process and has open tax years with various taxing jurisdictions that range primarily from 2004 to 2013. Based on currently available information, we do not believe the ultimate outcome of any of these tax audits and other tax positions related to open tax years, when finalized, will have a material impact on our financial position. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s aggregate provisions for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, was $26.6 million, which includes $2.2 million associated with the tax positions taken by our Spanish subsidiaries for the 2002 fiscal year, $3.9 million associated with our Spanish dividend withholding tax controversies and the remainder associated with various other tax positions asserted in foreign jurisdictions, none of which is individually material. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 24.5% compared with 26.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The quarter-over-quarter decrease is largely due to higher earnings from lower tax jurisdictions, favorable provision to return adjustments and lower loss provisions, which were partially offset by higher repatriation costs and the absence of the R&D tax credit in the current quarter. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 24.8% compared with 27.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The year-over-year decrease is primarily due to a benefit from a litigation ruling during the second quarter of 2014, favorable mix of earnings, favorable provision to return adjustments and lower loss provisions, and a $6.2 million after-tax Spanish tax charge that was recorded in the first quarter of 2013, which were only partially offset by higher repatriation costs and the absence of the U.S. R&D tax credit in 2014.
