Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
INTERIM PRESENTATION | INTERIM PRESENTATION The interim financial statements of Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (“we”, “us” or “our”) included herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. The statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results for the periods presented. We have prepared the statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year. The December 31, 2014 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's information in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and related notes to conform to the third quarter 2015 presentation. The first reclassification was a result of changes in our management organizational structure and related internal reporting (See Note 4 - Segment Information); The final was for a small balance sheet reclassification between Machinery and Equipment and Goodwill associated with a measurement period adjustment related to an acquisition. |
