Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | NOTE 2. _________________ RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ACCOUNTING CHANGES IMPLEMENTED DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, an update on Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and require additional disclosures for both disposal transactions that meet the criteria for a discontinued operation and disposals that do not meet these criteria. The objective of this update is to reach a greater convergence between the FASB’s and IASB’s reporting requirements for discontinued operations. The Company adopted the new requirement on January 1, 2015 with no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as no triggering event occurred throughout the period. FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, an update on revenue from contracts with customers. The core principal of this guideline is that an entity should recognize revenue, to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity is entitled to, in exchange for those goods and services. Guidance in this section supersedes the revenue recognition requirements found in topic 605. The amendment will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating these changes to determine whether they have an impact on the presentation of the consolidated financial statements. At its July 9, 2015 meeting, the FASB affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date for all entities by one year. The proposed update also would allow entities to apply the new revenue standard as of the original effective date. CLOUD COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, which clarifies the circumstances under which a cloud computing customer would account for a cloud computing arrangement as a license of internal-use software under Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The amendments provide customers with guidance on determining whether or not, a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license that should be accounted as an internal-use software. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this additional guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. INVENTORY In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, an update on Inventory. The amendments in this update require entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, therefore simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market, which in this context, was defined as one of three different measures and was unnecessarily complex. The amendment does not apply to inventory that has been valued using the Last-in First-out (“LIFO”) method or the Retail inventory method (“RIM”). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating these changes to determine whether they have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. |

Acquisition of Business | NOTE 3. _________________ ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS Acquisition of Laboratorios Indas On January 2, 2014, Domtar Corporation completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Laboratorios Indas, S.A.U. (“Indas”), primarily a branded incontinence products manufacturer and marketer in Spain. Indas has approximately 570 employees and operates two manufacturing facilities in Spain. The results of Indas’ operations have been included in the Personal Care reportable segment as of January 2, 2014. The purchase price was $546 million (€399 million) in cash, net of cash acquired of $46 million (€34 million). The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with the Business Combinations Topic of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The total purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the Company’s estimates of their fair value. The table below illustrates the purchase price allocation: Fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition Receivables $ 101 Inventory 28 Income and other taxes receivable 3 Property, plant and equipment 72 Intangible assets Customer relationships (1) 142 Trade names (2) 140 Catalog rights (2) 46 328 Goodwill 234 Deferred income tax assets 16 Total assets 782 Less: Liabilities Trade and other payables 71 Income and other taxes payable 3 Long-term debt (including short-term portion) 42 Deferred income tax liabilities 119 Other liabilities and deferred credits 1 Total liabilities 236 Fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition 546 (1) (2) Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill is attributable to the general reputation of the business, the assembled workforce, the expected synergies and the expected future cash flows of the business. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. |

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurement | NOTE 4. _________________ DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT HEDGING PROGRAMS The Company is exposed to market risk, such as changes in currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates. To the extent the Company decides to manage the volatility related to these exposures, the Company may enter into various financial derivatives that are accounted for under the derivatives and hedging guidance. These transactions are governed by the Company's hedging policies which provide direction on acceptable hedging activities, including instrument type and acceptable counterparty exposure. Upon inception, the Company formally documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items. At inception and quarterly thereafter, the Company formally assesses whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the cash flow or the fair value of the underlying exposures. The ineffective portion of the qualifying instrument is immediately recognized to earnings. The amount of ineffectiveness recognized was immaterial for all years presented. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. CREDIT RISK The Company is exposed to credit risk on the accounts receivable from its customers. In order to reduce this risk, the Company reviews new customers’ credit history before granting credit and conducts regular reviews of existing customers’ credit performance. As of June 30, 2015, one of Domtar’s Pulp and Paper segment customers located in the United States represented 13% ($85 million) (2014 – 10% ($64 million)) of the Company’s receivables. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to its financial instruments. The Company minimizes this exposure by entering into contracts with counterparties that are believed to be of high credit quality. Collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk is usually not obtained. The credit standing of counterparties is regularly monitored. INTEREST RATE RISK The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates on its cash and cash equivalents, bank indebtedness, bank credit facility and long-term debt. The Company’s objective in managing exposure to interest rate changes is to minimize the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. The Company may manage this interest rate exposure through the use of derivative instruments such as interest rate swap contracts, whereby it agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. On December 18, 2014, the Company entered into a $100 million notional 2.5 year fixed to floating interest rate swap to receive fixed (1.0225%) and pay the 3 month LIBOR. This swap was designated as a fair value hedge for a portion of its 10.75% notes due June 2017. The changes in fair value of both the hedging and the hedged item are immediately recognized in interest expense. Gains (losses) related to the ineffectiveness portion of the hedges were not material for this reporting period. COST RISK Cash flow hedges: The Company purchases natural gas at the prevailing market price at the time of delivery. To reduce the impact on cash flow and earnings due to pricing volatility, the Company may utilize derivatives to fix the price of forecasted natural gas purchases. The changes in the fair value on qualifying instruments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent effective, and reclassified into Cost of sales in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Current contracts are used to hedge a portion of forecasted purchases over the next 30 months. The following table presents the volumes under derivative financial instruments for natural gas contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2015 to hedge forecasted purchases: Commodity Notional contractual quantity under derivative contracts Notional contractual value under derivative contracts (in millions of dollars) Percentage of forecasted purchases under derivative contracts Natural Gas 2015 (1) 4,965,000 MMBTU (2) $ 20 58% 2016 9,090,000 MMBTU (2) $ 36 44% 2017 2,805,000 MMBTU (2) $ 11 14% (1) (2) The natural gas derivative contracts were fully effective as of June 30, 2015. There were no amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 resulting from hedge ineffectiveness (three and six months ended June 30, 2014 – nil). FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK Cash flow hedges: The Company has manufacturing operations in the United States, Canada and Europe. As a result, it is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates in Canada and Europe. Moreover, certain assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and are exposed to foreign currency movements. Accordingly, the Company’s earnings are affected by increases or decreases in the value of the Canadian dollar and the European currencies. The Company’s European subsidiaries are also exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in a currency other than their Euro functional currency. The Company’s risk management policy allows it to hedge a significant portion of its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for periods up to three years. The Company may use derivative financial instruments (currency options and foreign exchange forward contracts) to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivatives are used to hedge forecasted purchases in Canadian dollars by its Canadian subsidiary over the next 24 months. Derivatives are used to hedge forecasted sales by its US subsidiaries in Euros over the next 18 months and British pounds over the next six months. Derivatives are also used to hedge forecasted sales in British pounds and Norwegian krone and forecasted purchases of Swedish krona over the next 12 months and forecasted purchases in US dollars over the next 18 months by its European subsidiaries. Such derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in the fair value on qualifying instruments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent effective, and reclassified into Sales or Cost of sales in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The following table presents the currency values under significant contracts pursuant to currency options outstanding as of June 30, 2015 to hedge forecasted purchases and sales: Currency exposure hedged Business Segment Year Notional contractual value Percentage of forecasted net exposures under contracts Protection rate Obligation rate 2015 CDN/USD Pulp and Paper 200 CDN 52% 1 USD = 1.1089 1 USD = 1.1477 USD/Euro Personal Care 30 USD 82% 1 Euro = 1.2918 1 Euro = 1.2918 Euro/USD Pulp and Paper 23 EUR 75% 1 Euro = 1.1583 1 Euro = 1.1583 2016 CDN/USD Pulp and Paper 295 CDN 38% 1 USD = 1.1426 1 USD = 1.1886 USD/Euro Personal Care 44 USD 54% 1 Euro = 1.0767 1 Euro = 1.1826 Euro/USD Pulp and Paper 15 EUR 25% 1 Euro = 1.1629 1 Euro = 1.1629 2017 CDN/USD Pulp and Paper 90 CDN 12% 1 USD = 1.2028 1 USD = 1.2675 The foreign exchange derivative contracts were fully effective as of June 30, 2015. There were no amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 resulting from hedge ineffectiveness (three and six months ended June 30, 2014 - nil). FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (except Long-term debt, see (c) below) at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, in accordance with the accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.

Closure and Restructuring Costs and Liability and Impairment and Write-Down of Property, Plant and Equipment | NOTE 12. _________________ CLOSURE AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND LIABILITY AND IMPAIRMENT AND WRITE-DOWN OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT The Company regularly reviews its overall production capacity with the objective of aligning its production capacity with anticipated long-term demand, which in some cases could result in closure or impairment costs being recorded in earnings. As a result of the Company’s previous withdrawal from its U.S. multiemployer plans, the total provision for the withdrawal liabilities is $59 million at June 30, 2015. Of the $59 million provision, $14 million is subject to limited measurement uncertainty as the Company remains exposed to potential additional withdrawal liabilities to the fund in the event of a mass withdrawal occurring anytime within the next two years. Ashdown, Arkansas mill On December 10, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a $160 million capital project to convert a paper machine at the Ashdown, Arkansas mill to a high quality fluff pulp line used in absorbent applications such as baby diapers, feminine hygiene and adult incontinence products. The planned conversion is expected to come online by the third quarter of 2016 and will allow for the production of up to 516,000 metric tons of fluff pulp per year once the machine is in full operation. The project will also result in the permanent reduction of 364,000 short tons of annual uncoated freesheet production capacity in the second quarter of 2016. The conversion work is expected to commence during the second quarter of 2016 and the fluff pulp line is scheduled to startup by the third quarter of 2016. The cost of conversion will be approximately $160 million of which $40 million is expected to be invested in 2015 and $120 million in 2016. The Company will also invest $40 million in a pulp bale line that will provide flexibility to manufacture papergrade softwood pulp, contingent on market conditions. The aggregate pre-tax earnings charge in connection with this conversion is estimated to be $120 million which includes an estimated $117 million in non-cash charges relating to accelerated depreciation of the carrying amounts of the manufacturing equipment as well as the write-off of related spare parts. Of the estimated pre-tax charge of $120 million, $3 million relates to estimated cash severance, employee benefits and training. Of the estimated total pre-tax charge of $120 million, $113 million is expected to be incurred during 2015 and 2016. As a result of the 2014 fourth quarter decision to convert a paper machine to a fluff pulp line at its Ashdown, Arkansas mill, the Company recorded $18 million and $37 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, of accelerated depreciation under Impairment and write-down of property, plant and equipment on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Also, during the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded $1 million of severance and termination cost. Other costs For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, other costs related to previous and ongoing closures include nil and $1 million, respectively of severance and termination costs related to Personal Care. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, other costs related to previous and ongoing closures include nil and $1 million, respectively of severance and termination costs related to Personal Care. At June 30, 2015, the Company’s provision for closure and restructuring costs is $3 million. This provision is comprised of severance and termination costs all related to Pulp and Paper. |

Shareholders' Equity | NOTE 14. _________________ SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY On February 23, 2015 and May 5, 2015 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share to be paid to holders of the Company’s common stock. Total dividends of approximately $26 million and $25 million, respectively, were paid on April 15, 2015 and July 15, 2015, respectively, to shareholders of record on April 2, 2015 and July 2, 2015, respectively. On August 4, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share to be paid to holders of the Company’s common stock. This dividend is to be paid on October 15, 2015, to shareholders of record on October 2, 2015. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program (“the Program”) of up to $1 billion of Domtar Corporation’s common stock. On February 23, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase to the Program from $1 billion to $1.3 billion. Under the Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase from time to time shares of its outstanding common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in the United States. The timing and amount of stock repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the market conditions as well as corporate and regulatory considerations. The Program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the Program. The Program has no set expiration date. The Company repurchases its common stock, from time to time, in part to reduce the dilutive effects of stock options, awards, and to improve shareholders’ returns. The Company makes open market purchases of its common stock using general corporate funds. Additionally, the Company enters into structured stock repurchase agreements with large financial institutions using general corporate funds in order to lower the average cost to acquire shares. The agreements require the Company to make up-front payments to the counterparty financial institutions which results in either the receipt of stock at the beginning of the term of the agreements followed by a share adjustment at the maturity of the agreements, or the receipt of either stock or cash at the maturity of the agreements, depending upon the price of the stock. During the first half of 2015, the Company repurchased 723,459 shares at an average price of $41.65 for a total cost of $30 million. During the first half of 2014, the Company did not repurchase any shares under the Program. Since the inception of the Program, the Company has repurchased 24,061,439 shares at an average price of $39.38 for a total cost of $948 million. All shares repurchased are recorded as Treasury stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the par value method at $0.01 per share. |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | NOTE 15. _________________ COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ENVIRONMENT The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations enacted by federal, provincial, state and local authorities. An action was commenced by Seaspan International Ltd. (“Seaspan”) in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, on March 31, 1999 against the Company and others with respect to alleged contamination of Seaspan’s site bordering Burrard Inlet in North Vancouver, British Columbia, including contamination of sediments in Burrard Inlet, due to the presence of creosote and heavy metals. On February 16, 2010, the government of British Columbia issued a Remediation Order to Seaspan and the Company, in order to define and implement an action plan to address soil, sediment and groundwater issues. Working with authorities, Seaspan and the Company selected a remedial plan and applied to the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority for permitting approval. On May 14, 2015, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority issued the permit. The Company has recorded an environmental reserve to address its estimated exposure. The possible loss in excess of the reserve is not considered to be material for this matter. The following table reflects changes in the reserve for environmental remediation and asset retirement obligations: June 30, 2015 $ Balance at beginning of period 60 Environmental spending (1 ) Effect of foreign currency exchange rate change (3 ) Balance at end of period 56 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or various state agencies have notified the Company that it may be a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, commonly known as “Superfund,” and similar state laws with respect to other hazardous waste sites as to which no proceedings have been instituted against the Company. The Company continues to take remedial action under its Care and Control Program at its former wood preserving sites, and at a number of operating sites due to possible soil, sediment or groundwater contamination. Climate change regulation Various national and local laws and regulations have been established or are emerging in jurisdictions where the Company currently has, or may have in the future, manufacturing facilities or investments. The Company does not expect to be disproportionately affected by these measures compared with other pulp and paper producers located in these jurisdictions. Conference of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol is scheduled for December 2015. At this time it is not possible to predict the potential impacts of future international agreements on the Company. However the Company does not expect to be disproportionately affected compared with other pulp and paper producers. In The EPA is also developing a biogenic carbon accounting framework to account for carbon dioxide emissions from biomass fuels for Clean Air Act permitting and other regulatory purposes. The Company does not expect to be disproportionately affected by any future measures compared with other pulp and paper producers in the United States. The Government of Canada has committed to developing a sector-by-sector approach to set performance standards to reduce greenhouse gases. The pulp and paper sector is currently undergoing review. The Company does not expect its facilities to be disproportionately affected by these future measures compared with other pulp and paper producers in Canada. The province of Quebec initiated a GHG cap-and-trade system with reduction targets becoming effective on January 1, 2013. British Columbia imposed a carbon tax in 2008, which applies to the purchase of fossil fuels within the province. The Province of Ontario is developing a cap-and-trade system that will link with Quebec’s program and California. The Company does not expect future compliance costs for these existing and emerging programs to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Industrial Boiler Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standard (“MACT”) or Boiler MACT The Company is developing plans to bring facilities affected by the U.S. EPA’s Boiler MACT rule into compliance by the January 2016 regulatory deadline. The Company expects the remaining capital costs required to comply with the Boiler MACT rule to be approximately $15 million. The EPA is reconsidering a limited number of issues related to the Boiler MACT rule, and certain elements of the rule are being litigated. Since the consequences of these activities cannot be predicted, adjustments to compliance plans may be needed to accommodate any changes to the final rule. At this time it cannot be predicted if any of these changes could affect the current capital costs for compliance and/or future operating costs. CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of operations, the Company becomes involved in various legal actions mostly related to contract disputes, patent infringements, environmental and product warranty claims, and labor issues. While the final outcome with respect to actions outstanding or pending at June 30, 2015, cannot be predicted with certainty, it is management’s opinion that, their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Spanish Competition Investigation In September 2014, following preliminary inquiries commenced in January 2014, Spain’s National Commission of Markets and Competition initiated a formal investigation of several companies and their parent companies, including Indas (a subsidiary of the Company, acquired on January 2, 2014), and two of its affiliates, as well as an industry association, Federacion Espanola de Empresas de Tecnologia Sanitaria (“FENIN”), with respect to possible unlawful conduct, consisting of fixing prices, commercial terms and dispensation of heavy adult incontinence products in the Spanish market. The activities under investigation predate the acquisition of Indas by the Company. The sellers of Indas made representations and warranties to the Company in the purchase agreement regarding, among other things, Indas’ and its subsidiary’s compliance with competition laws. The liability retained by the sellers is backed by bank guarantees, and limited insurance coverage has been purchased with regards to excess liability. As a result, while the final outcome with respect to the investigation cannot be predicted with certainty, it is management’s opinion that its resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. INDEMNIFICATIONS In the normal course of business, the Company offers indemnifications relating to the sale of its businesses and real estate. In general, these indemnifications may relate to claims from past business operations, the failure to abide by covenants and the breach of representations and warranties included in the sales agreements. Typically, such representations and warranties relate to taxation, environmental, product and employee matters. The terms of these indemnification agreements are generally for an unlimited period of time. At June 30, 2015, the Company is unable to estimate the potential maximum liabilities for these types of indemnification guarantees as the amounts are contingent upon the outcome of future events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Accordingly, no provision has been recorded. These indemnifications have not yielded a significant expense in the past. Pension Plans The Company has indemnified and held harmless the trustees of its pension funds, and the respective officers, directors, employees and agents of such trustees, from any and all costs and expenses arising out of the performance of their obligations under the relevant trust agreements, including in respect of their reliance on authorized instructions from the Company or for failing to act in the absence of authorized instructions. These indemnifications survive the termination of such agreements. At June 30, 2015 the Company has not recorded a liability associated with these indemnifications, as it does not expect to make any payments pertaining to these indemnifications. |

Subsequent Event | NOTE 18. _________________ SUBSEQUENT EVENT The Company has elected to redeem on August 20, 2015, (the redemption date), $55 million in aggregate principal amount of its 9.5% Notes due 2016, representing approximately 59% of the outstanding notes, and $215 million in aggregate principal amount of its 10.75% Notes due 2017, representing approximately 77% of the outstanding notes. The redemption price for the notes to be redeemed will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a make-whole premium. The accrued interest will be paid for the period from August 1, 2015 (for the 9.5% Notes) and from June 1, 2015 (for the 10.75% Notes) up to, but excluding, the redemption date. The make-whole premiums are estimated to be approximately $41 million.

In addition, the Company’s 7.125% notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $167 million will mature on August 15, 2015. The above-noted redemptions and repayment of notes will be funded through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities and proceeds from a new $300 million 10-year term loan agreement with a syndicate of bank lenders. |

Discontinued Operations | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, an update on Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and require additional disclosures for both disposal transactions that meet the criteria for a discontinued operation and disposals that do not meet these criteria. The objective of this update is to reach a greater convergence between the FASB’s and IASB’s reporting requirements for discontinued operations. The Company adopted the new requirement on January 1, 2015 with no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as no triggering event occurred throughout the period. |
Future Accounting Changes [Member] | |
Revenue Recognition | REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, an update on revenue from contracts with customers. The core principal of this guideline is that an entity should recognize revenue, to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity is entitled to, in exchange for those goods and services. Guidance in this section supersedes the revenue recognition requirements found in topic 605. The amendment will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating these changes to determine whether they have an impact on the presentation of the consolidated financial statements. At its July 9, 2015 meeting, the FASB affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date for all entities by one year. The proposed update also would allow entities to apply the new revenue standard as of the original effective date. |
Cloud Computing Arrangements | CLOUD COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, which clarifies the circumstances under which a cloud computing customer would account for a cloud computing arrangement as a license of internal-use software under Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The amendments provide customers with guidance on determining whether or not, a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license that should be accounted as an internal-use software. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this additional guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |
Inventory | INVENTORY In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, an update on Inventory. The amendments in this update require entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, therefore simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market, which in this context, was defined as one of three different measures and was unnecessarily complex. The amendment does not apply to inventory that has been valued using the Last-in First-out (“LIFO”) method or the Retail inventory method (“RIM”). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating these changes to determine whether they have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. |

Interest rates, forward market rates and volatility are used as inputs for such valuation techniques. - For natural gas contracts: Fair value is measured using the discounted difference between contractual rates and quoted market future rates. (b) ABN are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 or Level 3 inputs. Fair value of ABN reported under Level 2 is based on current market quotes. Fair value of ABN reported under Level 3 is based on the value of the collateral investments held in the conduit issuer, reduced by the negative value of credit default derivatives, with an additional discount applied for illiquidity.
