New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Description of New Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

New Accounting Guidance Adopted:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 was issued to increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. The Company adopted the new leasing standard on January 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method. The Company also elected several practical expedients to not asses the following as part of adoption: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (2) the lease classification between finance and operating leases for any expired or existing leases; and (3) the recognition of initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company also elected to not recognize leases with a term of 12 months or less on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of the lease standard had no impact to the Company's consolidated results of operations or the captions on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The cumulative effect of the changes made to the balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 for the adoption of the new lease standard was as follows:

	Balance at December 31, 2018		Effect of Accounting Change			Balance at January 1, 2019
Operating lease assets	$	—	$	114.1		$	114.1
Other intangible assets	733.2		0.7			733.9
Other non-current assets (1)	37.0		(15.3		)	21.7
Total Assets	4,445.2		99.5			4,544.7
Short-term operating lease liability	—		29.8			29.8
Long-term operating lease liability	—		69.7			69.7
Total Liabilities	$	2,802.5	$	99.5		$	2,902.0

⁽¹⁾ Due to the adoption of the new leasing standard, the Company recognized operating lease assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In conjunction with the adoption of the new leasing standard, the Company reclassified $15.3 million of lease assets related to purchase accounting adjustments from the ABC Bearings Limited ("ABC Bearings") acquisition from Other assets to Operating lease assets. These assets do not have material corresponding lease liabilities.

The Company determines if any arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. For leases where the Company is the lessee, it recognizes lease assets and related lease liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate. As a result, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease assets also consist of amounts for favorable or unfavorable lease terms related to acquisitions. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense while the expense for finance leases is recognized as depreciation expense and interest expense using the accelerated interest method of recognition. A lease asset and lease liability are not recorded for leases with an initial term of less than 12 months or less and the lease expenses related to these leases is recognized as incurred over the lease term.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities", which impacts both designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. ASU 2017-12 amends and clarifies the requirements to qualify for hedge accounting, removes the requirement to recognize changes in fair value from certain hedges in current earnings, and specifies the presentation of changes in fair value in the income statement for all hedging instruments. ASU 2017-12 is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 effective January 1, 2019, and the impact of adoption was not material to the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

New Accounting Guidance Issued and Not Yet Adopted:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model. The new expected credit loss impairment model will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, net investments in leases, loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the expected credit loss model requires entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics should be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific method to make the estimate, so its application will require significant judgment. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is continuing to advance its analysis and evaluating the effect that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
