Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 6. Income Taxes: At March 31, 2012, there were $65.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits recorded in Other liabilities and $1.6 million recorded in Other current liabilities. If these unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, the effective tax rate would be affected. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized interest and penalties of $0.2 million. At March 31, 2012, the Company had accrued interest and penalties of $0.4 million classified in Other current liabilities and $12.7 million of interest and penalties classified in Other liabilities. We regularly repatriate a portion of current year earnings from 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 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 material items are discussed below. In addition, the Company has other ongoing tax audits and legal proceedings that relate to direct and indirect taxes, such as transfer pricing, value-added taxes, capital tax, sales and use and property taxes, which are discussed in Note 11. The most significant income tax disputes in which the Company is currently involved relate to ongoing tax assessments and uncertain tax positions within its European operations. Specifically, the Company is disputing various income tax assessments imposed by the Spanish tax authorities against the Company's Spanish subsidiaries. The administrative and judicial process for these cases is expected to take a number of years to be resolved. As a result of a tax audit for the 2002-2003 fiscal years, the Spanish tax authorities challenged certain tax positions taken in the Spanish subsidiaries' tax returns and imposed an assessment of Euro 22.3 million ($29.7 million), including estimated interest. During the fourth quarter of 2011, as a result of a tax audit for the 2004-2006 fiscal years, the Spanish tax authorities issued a tax assessment of Euro 62.5 million ($83.2 million), including estimated interest. This assessment challenged similar tax positions identified in the prior assessment. At March 31, 2012, the aggregate amount of assessments from the Spanish tax authorities for all claims arising from the challenged income tax positions were Euro 84.8 million ($112.9 million). The Company has appealed each of these assessments with the National Appellate Court, or, with respect to the 2004-2006 assessment, at the administrative level. In order to proceed with these appeals, the Company is required to and as of March 31, 2012, has posted bank guarantees of Euro 82.5 million ($109.8 million). In January 2012, the Spanish tax authorities commenced an audit of the 2007-2010 income tax returns of the Company's Spanish subsidiaries. The tax positions that have previously been challenged by the Spanish tax authorities were consistently taken in the Company's Spanish subsidiaries' tax returns from 2003 through the end of 2011. Consequently, the Company anticipates that it will receive an assessment for matters similar to those under appeal, for the fiscal years 2007-2011. It is difficult to anticipate the amount of any future assessment as changes in the Spanish tax legislation permit companies to assert additional defenses for fiscal years commencing in 2007. The Company continues to dispute the pending tax assessments and intends to dispute any future tax assessment that challenges these same tax positions. In accordance with ASC 740 "Income Taxes," the Company records liabilities for uncertain tax positions. At March 31, 2012, the Company had accrued liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $51.4 million in connection with the income tax positions taken by the Company's Spanish subsidiaries from 2002 through 2011 (discussed above). In 2012, the Company reorganized its business operations in Spain and the Netherlands. As a result of the business reorganization, certain of the expenses underlying the challenged tax deductions have been eliminated. The net impact of these changes is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's overall effective tax rate. In addition to the above, the Company has also been a party to four dividend withholding tax controversies in Spain, which are at different stages of administrative and judicial review, in which the Spanish tax authorities allege that the Company's Spanish subsidiaries underpaid withholding taxes during the 1995-2001 fiscal years. At March 31, 2012, the aggregate amount of the dividend withholding controversy was Euro 17.9 million ($23.9 million), including estimated interest. In order to proceed with these appeals, the Company was required to and, as of March 31, 2012, has posted bank guarantees of Euro 17.0 million ($22.6 million). During the first quarter of 2012, the Spanish Supreme Court heard three of these dividend withholding cases. The Company received an unfavorable decision on one appeal, and as a result, recorded a charge in the first quarter of 2012 (including estimated interest) of $10.9 million ($9.4 million after-tax), reflected in income taxes payable. This payment is expected to be made in the second quarter 2012 from operating cash flows. In April 2012, the Company received unfavorable rulings on two of the remaining appeals before the Spanish Supreme Court. As a result, the Company will record an additional charge of $3.3 million ($2.9 million after-tax) in the second quarter 2012. The fourth and final remaining appeal has not yet been heard by the Spanish Supreme Court. As of March 31, 2012, the liability for uncertain tax positions arising from the withholding tax controversies was $7.5 million in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2012, the Company's aggregate provisions for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, is $79.9 million, which includes $51.4 million associated with the tax deductions taken by our Spanish subsidiaries, $7.5 million associated with our Spanish tax withholding controversies and the remainder associated with various other tax positions asserted in foreign jurisdictions, none of which are individually material. If the Spanish tax assessments, or any other tax assessments, are ultimately resolved against the Company, the resulting increase in its provision for uncertain tax positions could have a material impact on its results of operations and cash flows in a particular period. In addition, future events or changes in facts or circumstances could require the Company to further adjust its liability for unrecognized tax positions and additional interest and penalties. In addition, the Company has several other tax audits in process and has open tax years with various taxing jurisdictions that range primarily from 2002 to 2011. Based on currently available information, we do not believe the ultimate outcome of these tax audits and other tax positions related to open tax years, when finalized, will have a material impact on our financial position, reported results or liquidity. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 26.5% compared with 27.3 % for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The reduction in the effective tax rate for the three-month period reflects a $10.6 million benefit due to a corporate restructuring of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. This benefit was largely offset by the previously noted provision related to the Spanish tax withholding case as well as the absence of an R&D tax credit in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2012. The Company also benefited from lower repatriation costs.
