Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation Organization and Ownership Structure — Atkore Inc. (the “Company” or “Atkore”) is a leading manufacturer of Electrical products primarily for the non-residential construction and renovation markets and Safety & Infrastructure for the construction and industrial markets. The Electrical segment manufactures high quality products used in the construction of electrical power systems including conduit, cable, and installation accessories. The Safety & Infrastructure segment designs and manufactures solutions including metal framing, mechanical pipe, perimeter security, and cable management for the protection and reliability of critical infrastructure. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 4, 2010 under the name Atkore International Group Inc. As of September 20, 2022, Atkore was the sole stockholder of Atkore International Holdings Inc. (“AIH”), which in turn was the sole stockholder of Atkore International Inc. (“AII”). On December 28, 2022, AIH merged into AII, with AII being the surviving entity. Accordingly, Atkore is now the sole stockholder of AII. Holders of common stock are entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Additionally, holders of common stock are entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, dividends and distributions, if any, that the Company’s board of directors may declare out of legally available funds. Share Repurchase Program — On February 5, 2019, the board of directors approved a share repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock. As of December 25, 2020, there were no authorized repurchases remaining on that program. On January 28, 2021, the board of directors approved a share repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. As of September 30, 2021, there were no authorized repurchases remaining. On November 16, 2021, the board of directors approved a share repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $400 million of its outstanding common stock. On April 26, 2022, the board of directors approved an amendment to the aforementioned plan, extending it to a total repurchase of the Company’s outstanding common stock of up to $800.0 million. On November 11, 2022, the board of directors approved an amendment to the aforementioned plan, extending it to a total repurchase authorization of the Company’s outstanding stock of $1,300 million. As of September 30, 2023, $309.1million of repurchases remained available under the plan. Basis of Presentation — The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The audited consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities used in operating the Company's business. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of companies acquired or disposed of are included in the audited consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. Fiscal Periods — The Company has a fiscal year that ends on September 30. The Company's fiscal quarters typically end on the last Friday in December, March and June as it follows a 4-5-4 calendar. Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and report the associated amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Summary of significant accounting policies Revenue Recognition — The Company’s revenue arrangements primarily consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods which is satisfied at a point in time when title, risks and rewards of ownership, and subsequently control have transferred to the customer. This generally occurs when the product is shipped to the customer, with an immaterial amount of transactions in which control transfers upon delivery. The Company primarily offers assurance-type standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations. Under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”), the Company is eligible for tax credits related to the manufacturing and selling of components used in the solar energy industry, starting on January 1, 2023. These tax credits are transferable under the IRA when they meet certain criteria. When credits do not meet the transferability criteria, the benefit is recognized within income tax expense in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The Company concluded that the tax credits earned during fiscal 2023 are not transferable and as a result, the Company recognized the benefit of the fiscal 2023 tax credits in its income tax expense. The Company has contractual arrangements with some customers who purchase credit eligible components to transfer a portion of these tax credits to those customers. In instances where the Company has such arrangements, and the credits are not transferable, the Company may transfer the economic value of the agreed upon portion of the tax credits in a manner agreed upon between the Company and the customer. Pursuant to such contractual arrangements, if the tax credits are eligible for transfer and will be transferred to the customer, the Company identifies two separate performance obligations under these contracts with the first being to transfer the promised goods and the second being to transfer the defined portion of the tax credits earned. The Company allocates the total value of these transactions between the two performance obligations. As a result of this allocation, the Company recognizes a reduction to revenue, similar to a rebate. When the Company does not transfer credits but instead transfers only the economic value, there is only a single performance obligation to transfer the promised goods with transfer of the economic value of the credits recognized as a reduction of revenue. The solar tax credit receivable is recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets whereas the liability to transfer the defined portion of the tax credits or the economic value is recorded in Customer Liabilities. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company has recognized a reduction of revenue of $30,401 for the economic value of tax credits to be transferred and a year to date benefit to income tax expense of $39,493. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has a $30,401 liability for credits to be transferred or the economic value of the credits and a solar tax credit receivable of $39,493. As of September 30, 2023, all activity related to the solar tax credits is within the Safety & Infrastructure segment. The Company has certain arrangements that require it to estimate at the time of sale the amounts of variable consideration that should not be recorded as revenue as certain amounts are not expected to be collected from customers, as well as an estimate of the value of products to be returned. The Company principally relies on historical experience, specific customer agreements, and anticipated future trends to estimate these amounts at the time of sale and to reduce the transaction price. These arrangements include sales discounts and allowances, volume rebates, and returned goods. The Company records its obligations related to these items within the Customer Liabilities line on the balance sheet. The Company has elected to utilize certain practical expedients available under GAAP. The Company records amounts billed to customers for reimbursement of shipping and handling costs within revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales. Sales taxes and other usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue. The practical expedient not to disclose information about remaining performance obligations has also been elected as these obligations have an original duration of one year or less. The Company does not evaluate whether the selling price includes a financing interest component for contracts that are less than a year. The Company also expenses costs incurred to obtain a contract, primarily sales commissions, as all obligations will be settled in less than one year. The Company typically receives payment 30 to 60 days from the point it has satisfied the related performance obligation. See Note 17, “Segment Information” for revenue disaggregated by geography and product categories. Cost of Sales — The Company includes all costs directly related to the production of goods for sale in cost of sales in the statement of operations. These costs include direct material, direct labor, production related overheads, excess and obsolescence costs, lower of cost or market provisions, freight and distribution costs, and the depreciation and amortization of assets directly used in the production of goods for sale. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses — These amounts primarily include payroll-related expenses for both administrative and selling personnel, compensation expense from stock-based awards, restructuring-related charges, third-party professional services and transactional gains or losses for foreign currency transactions, excluding the foreign exchange exposure for intercompany loan transactions, which is included in Other (income) and expense, net. Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for current and expected credit losses — The Company carries its accounts receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for current and expected credit losses. The allowance for current and expected credit losses reflects the best estimate of current and expected losses inherent in the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other available evidence. Inventories — Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (primarily LIFO) or market value. The Company estimates losses for excess and obsolete inventory through an assessment of its net realizable value based on the aging of the inventory and an evaluation of the likelihood of recovering the inventory costs based on anticipated demand and selling price. See Note 10, “Inventories, net.” Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment, net, is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense when incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Buildings 4 to 40 years Building improvements 3 to 20 years Machinery and equipment 1 to 20 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of remaining term of the lease or useful life Software 2 to 10 years The internal and external costs incurred to develop internal use computer software during the application development stage of the implementation, including the design of the chosen path, are capitalized. Other costs, including expenses incurred during the preliminary project stage, training expenses, data conversion costs and expenses incurred in the post implementation stage are expensed in the period incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized ratably over the useful life of the software when the software becomes operational. Upgrades and enhancements to internal use software are capitalized only if the costs result in additional functionality. The Company does not plan to sell or market its internal use computer software to third parties. Business Combinations — The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control is obtained, all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities requires estimates and the use of valuation techniques when market value is not readily available. For intangible assets acquired in a business combination, the Company typically use the income method. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, discount rates and useful lives. The excess of the purchase price over fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Long-Lived Asset and Finite - Lived Intangible Asset Impairments — The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company groups assets at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identified in order to measure an impairment. Recoverability of an asset or asset group is first measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the estimated fair value. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on the estimated fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of or held for sale, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal. The Company also considers potential impairment indicators associated with other finite-lived intangible assets, including its customer relationships, patents, and non-compete agreements. An impairment is recognized if the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. The Company's key customers are primarily wholesale and national distributors. The terms of these relationships are based on purchase orders and are not contractually based. Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, ranging from 6 to 14 years. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of remaining useful lives based on customer attrition rates. Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-lined basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 1 to 20 years. The Company did not have a triggering event during fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairments — The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names on an annual basis in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” The measurement date is the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently, if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or the respective indefinite-lived trade name is less than the carrying value. The Company can elect to perform a quantitative or qualitative test of impairment. For fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021 the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment for goodwill. The Company calculated the fair value of its six reporting units considering three valuation approaches: (a) the income approach; (b) the guideline public company method; and (c) the comparable transaction method. The income approach calculates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach. Internally forecasted future cash flows, which the Company believes reasonably approximate market participant assumptions, are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (Discount Rate) developed for each reporting unit. The Discount Rate is developed using market observable inputs, as well as considering whether or not there is a measure of risk related to the specific reporting unit’s forecasted performance. The key uncertainties in these calculations are the assumptions used in determining the reporting unit’s forecasted future performance, including revenue growth and EBITDA margins, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts. Fair value under the guideline public company method is determined for each reporting unit by applying market multiples for comparable public companies to the reporting unit’s financial results. Fair value under the comparable transaction method is determined based on exchange prices in actual transactions and on asking prices for controlling interests in public or private companies currently offered for sale by applying market multiples for comparable public companies to the unit’s financial results. The key uncertainties in the guideline public company method and the comparable transaction method calculations are the assumptions used in determining the reporting unit's comparable public companies, comparable transactions and the selection of the market multiples. As a result of the Company’s plans to exit its operations in Russia and expectation to sell the related business at a loss, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment of $1,721 that was allocated from the reporting unit on a relative fair value basis. With the exception of the impairment recorded to the expected sale of the Russia operations, the Company did not record any other goodwill impairments in fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021. As noted above, ASC 350 also requires that the Company test the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. Under ASC 350, if the carrying value of the indefinite-lived asset is higher than its fair value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and the impairment charge is estimated as the excess carrying value over the fair value. The Company calculated the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method. The relief-from-royalty method is used to estimate the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset who would otherwise have to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. Internally forecasted revenues, which the Company believes reasonably approximate market participant assumptions, are multiplied by a royalty rate to arrive at the estimated net after tax cost savings. The royalty rate used in the analysis is based on an analysis of empirical, market-derived royalty rates for guideline intangible assets. The net after tax cost savings are discounted using the Discount Rate. The Discount Rate is developed using market observable inputs, as well as considering whether or not there is a measure of risk related to the specific indefinite lived intangible assets' forecasted performance. The key uncertainties in these calculations are the assumptions used in determining the revenue associated with each indefinite-lived intangible asset and the royalty rate. The Company did not record any indefinite-lived asset impairments in fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021. Fair Value Measurements — Authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. In cases where two or more levels of inputs are used to determine fair value, a financial instrument's level is determined based on the lowest level input that is considered significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows: Level 1-inputs are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities which are accessible as of the measurement date. Level 2-inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations for the asset or liability that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data for which the primary inputs are observable, including forward interest rates, yield curves, credit risk and exchange rates. Level 3-inputs for the valuations are unobservable and are based on management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques such as option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions — The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year it is expected the differences will reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period of the enactment date. The Company periodically assesses the realizability of the deferred tax assets. In making this determination management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including earnings history, expectations of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to the amount that is considered more likely than not to be realized. Changes in the required valuation allowance are recorded in income in the period such determination is made. Certain tax positions may be considered uncertain requiring an assessment of whether an allowance should be recorded. Provisions for uncertain tax positions provide a recognition threshold based on an estimate of whether it is more likely than not that a position will be sustained upon examination. The Company measures its uncertain tax positions as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon examination. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as a component of income tax expense. See Note 7, “Income Taxes.” On December 22, 2017, “H.R.1,” also known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was signed into law. As part of the enactment of TCJA, the Company recorded a global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provision for the first time beginning in fiscal 2019. The GILTI provision of TCJA requires certain income earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) to be included currently in the gross income of the CFCs controlling U.S. shareholder. In accordance with accounting standards applicable to income taxes, there is allowed an accounting policy choice of either (1) treating taxes due on U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). The Company has elected the period method. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted into law. The IRA contains significant tax law changes, including a corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% on adjusted financial statement income, which if applicable for the Company would be effective beginning October 1, 2023, a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases after December 31, 2022, and various tax incentives which include, but are not limited to, credits related to the manufacturing and selling of components used in the solar energy industry which took effect on January 1, 2023. The Company has recognized the benefit of credits related to the manufacturing and selling of components used in the solar energy industry in the income tax provision as described in the previous section discussing Revenue Recognition. Leases — Starting in fiscal 2020, as a result of the adoption of ASC 842 “Leases,” the Company recognizes if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the contract. The Company determines which party has the right to control an asset during the contract term and recognizes a Right of Use (“ROU”) asset and lease obligations based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the term of the lease. Refer to Note 2, “Leases” for further discussion of the Company’s accounting policy for leases. Translation of Foreign Currency — For the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries that report in a functional currency other than United States dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using period end exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the monthly average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Atkore has not adopted any accounting standards in the current fiscal year. There are no accounting standards with adoption dates in the next fiscal year that are applicable to the Company. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
LEASES | 2. LEASES The Company engages in leasing transactions to meet the needs of the business. The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, office space, forklifts, vehicles and other machinery and equipment. The determination to lease, rather than purchase, an asset is primarily contingent upon capital requirements, duration of the forecasted business investment, and asset availability. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and all arrangements deemed to be leases are subject to an assessment to determine the classification between finance and operating leases. The Company's significant assumptions and judgments in determining whether a contract is or contains a lease include establishing whether the supplier has the ability to use other assets to fulfill its service or whether the terms of the agreement enable the Company to control the use of a dedicated property, plant and equipment asset during the contract term. In the majority of the Company's contracts where it must identify whether a lease is present, it is readily determinable that the Company controls the use of the assets and obtains substantially all of the economic benefit during the term of the contract. In those contracts where identification is not readily determinable, the Company has determined that the supplier has either the ability to use another asset to provide the service or the terms of the contract give the supplier the rights to operate the asset at its discretion during the term of the contract, in which case the arrangement would not constitute a lease. Right-of-use assets and lease obligations are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date. The Company’s lease agreements have terms that include both lease and non-lease components. Lease component fees are included in the present value of future minimum lease payments. Conversely, non-lease components are not subject to capitalization and are expensed as incurred. Per ASC 842 “Leases,” the contractual interest rate is used to calculate the present value of the future minimum lease payments. However, the majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company's significant assumption and judgments in determining the discount rate include determining the incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the lease, the economic environment of the lease and the effect of collateralization. The valuation of the ROU asset also includes lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date and initial direct costs incurred to secure the lease and is reduced for lease incentives. The lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the options. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has certain leasing agreements, related to leased vehicles available to our sales personnel, that contain guaranteed residual value terms, which are not expected to be triggered. The Company’s leasing portfolio does not contain any material restrictive covenants.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
ACQUISITIONS | 3. ACQUISITIONS From time to time, the Company enters into strategic acquisitions in an effort to better service existing customers and to attain new customers. Fiscal 2023 On November 7, 2022, Atkore HDPE, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the assets of Elite Polymer Solutions (“Elite”), for a purchase price of $90,230, of which $75,981 was paid at closing and an additional purchase price payable of $14,000 was accrued, of which $500 was paid in fiscal 2023 subsequent to the acquisition date. Elite is a manufacturer of high density polyethylene (HDPE) conduit, primarily serving the telecommunications, utility, and transportation markets. As a result of the acquisition, the Company preliminarily recognized $18,669 of tax deductible goodwill, $68,480 of identifiable intangible assets, of which $68,200 relates to customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 8 years, and $3,082 of working capital and other net tangible assets. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation of Elite in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. The acquisition in fiscal 2023 was funded using cash-on-hand. The Company incurred approximately $968 in acquisition-related expenses for fiscal 2023, which was recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. Net sales and net income of the above acquisition are included in the condensed consolidated financial statement of operations for the post-acquisition period. Due to the immaterial nature of this acquisition, the Company did not include the pro forma results of operations for this acquisition for the current period or the previous interim period. Fiscal 2022 On August 31, 2022, Atkore International Inc., and Atkore HDPE, LLC, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, acquired the outstanding stock of two separate, but related, companies doing business as Cascade Poly Pipe & Conduit (“Cascade”) and Northwest Polymers, for a total purchase price of $62,100, of which $52,738 was paid at closing and an additional purchase price payable of $9,362 was accrued.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS | 4. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company has a number of non-contributory and contributory defined benefit retirement plans covering certain United States employees. Net periodic pension benefit cost is based on periodic actuarial valuations that use the projected unit credit method of calculation and is charged to the statements of operations on a systematic basis over the expected average remaining service lives of current participants. The benefits under the defined benefit plans are based on various factors, such as years of service and compensation. For all periods presented, all defined pension benefit plans are frozen, whereby participants no longer accrue credited service. The net periodic cost for the periods presented was as follows: Fiscal Year Ended (in thousands) September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Interest cost $ 5,175 $ 2,958 $ 2,729 Expected return on plan assets (5,027) (5,392) (6,424) Amortization of actuarial loss 667 631 1,327 Net periodic cost $ 815 $ (1,803) $ (2,368) The weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost during the period were as follow: September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Discount rate 5.4 % 2.7 % 2.5 % Expected return on plan assets 5.0 % 4.0 % 6.2 % Rate of compensation increase N/a N/a N/a The change in the benefit obligations, plan assets and the amounts recognized on the consolidated balance sheets was as follows (in thousands): Change in benefit obligations: Balance as of September 30, 2021 $ 140,745 Interest cost 2,958 Actuarial loss (36,411) Benefits and administrative expenses paid (6,090) Balance as of September 30, 2022 101,202 Interest cost 5,175 Actuarial gain (4,882) Benefits and administrative expenses paid (6,165) Balance as of September 30, 2023 $ 95,330 Change in plan assets: Balance as of September 30, 2021 $ 138,056 Actual return on plan assets (28,230) Employer contributions 188 Benefits and administrative expenses paid (6,090) Balance as of September 30, 2022 103,925 Actual return on plan assets 7,463 Employer contributions 220 Benefits and administrative expenses paid (6,165) Balance as of September 30, 2023 $ 105,443 Funded status: Funded status as of September 30, 2022 $ 2,723 Funded status as of September 30, 2023 $ 10,113 (in thousands) September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets consist of: Pension Non-Current Assets $ 10,113 $ 2,723 Pension liabilities — — Net amount recognized $ 10,113 $ 2,723 Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss (before income taxes) consist of: Net actuarial loss $ (15,631) $ (23,616) Total loss recognized $ (15,631) $ (23,616) Weighted-average assumptions used to determine pension benefit obligations at year end: Discount rate 5.8 % 5.4 % Rate of compensation increase N/a N/a The following table summarizes the defined benefit pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets: (in thousands) September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 Accumulated benefit obligation $ — $ — Fair value of plan assets — — Neither plan had accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets as of September 30, 2022. The following table summarizes the defined benefit pension plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets: (in thousands) September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 Projected benefit obligation $ — $ — Fair value of plan assets — — Neither plan had projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets as of September 30, 2022. In determining the expected return on plan assets, the Company considers the relative weighting of plan assets by class, historical performance of asset classes over long-term periods, asset class performance expectations as well as current and future economic conditions. The Company’s investment strategy for its pension plans is to manage the plans on a going-concern basis. Current investment policy is to minimize risk in the plan assets for the purpose of enhancing the security of benefits for participants. For the pension plans, this policy targets a 100% allocation to debt securities. As of September 30, 2023, the 46% of plan assets held in cash and cash equivalents is a result of timing differences as the Company continues to move to the target allocation of 100% debt securities. Pension plans have the following weighted-average asset allocations: Asset Category: September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 Equity securities —% 50% Debt securities 54% 46% Cash and cash equivalents 46% 4% Total 100% 100% The Company evaluates its defined benefit plans’ asset portfolios for the existence of significant concentrations of risk, such as investments in a single entity, industry, foreign country and individual fund manager. As of September 30, 2023, there were no significant concentrations of risk in the Company’s defined benefit plan assets. The Company’s plan assets are accounted for at fair value and are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value of assets and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The Company’s asset allocations are presented in the table below: September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total United States equity securities $ — $ — $ — $ 29,583 $ — $ 29,583 Non-U.S. equity securities — — — 22,913 — 22,913 Fixed income securities 21,119 35,733 56,852 22,639 24,794 47,433 Cash and cash equivalents 48,591 — 48,591 3,996 — 3,996 Total $ 69,710 $ 35,733 $ 105,443 $ 79,131 $ 24,794 $ 103,925 Equity securities consist primarily of publicly traded United States and non-U.S. equities. Publicly traded securities are valued at the last trade or closing price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded. Certain equity securities are held within commingled funds, which are valued at the unitized net asset value (“NAV”) or percentage of the NAV as determined by the custodian of the fund. These values are based on the fair value of the underlying net assets owned by the fund. Fixed income securities consist primarily of government and agency securities, corporate debt securities, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities. When available, fixed income securities are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual security is traded. Government and agency securities and corporate debt securities are valued using the most recent bid prices or occasionally the mean of the latest bid and ask prices when markets are less liquid. Asset-backed securities including mortgage-backed securities are valued using broker/dealer quotes when available. When quotes are not available, fair value is determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow approach, which incorporates other observable inputs such as cash flows, underlying security structure and market information including interest rates and bid evaluations of comparable securities. As of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any Level 3 pension assets. Certain fixed income securities are held within commingled funds, which are valued utilizing NAV as determined by the custodian of the fund. These values are based on the fair value of the underlying net assets owned by the fund. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of short-term commercial paper, and other cash or cash-like instruments including settlement proceeds due from brokers, stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstance giving rise to the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s valuation process. Contribution amounts are determined and funded based on laws and regulations and with the assistance of professionally qualified actuaries. The Company contributed $220 and $188 to its pension plans for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. The Company anticipates that it will contribute at least the minimum required contribution of $279 to its pension plans in fiscal 2024. Benefit payments, which reflect future expected service as appropriate, are expected to be paid in each fiscal year as follows: (in thousands) 2024 $ 6,912 2025 7,103 2026 7,263 2027 7,321 2028 7,349 2028 to 2032 36,909 Defined Contribution Retirement Plans — The Company also sponsors several defined contribution retirement plans - the 401(k) matching programs. Expense for the defined contribution plans is computed as a percentage of participants’ compensation and was $5,483, $4,615 and $3,400 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023, September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Multi-Employer Plan — The Company has a liability of $4,336 as of September 30, 2023 and $4,685 as of September 30, 2022 representing the Company’s proportionate share of a multi-employer pension plan which was exited prior to fiscal 2017. |

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN | 5. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN On November 21, 2019, the Company's board of directors approved the Atkore International Group Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders on January 30, 2020. The 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for stock purchases and grants of other equity awards, including non-qualified stock options, stock purchase rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance stock units (“PSUs”), stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards to directors, officers, other employees and consultants. The 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan replaces and succeeds the Atkore International Group Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The Company no longer grants awards from the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Awards previously granted under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan were unaffected by the termination. A maximum of 1.8 million shares of common stock is reserved for issuance under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan. All stock option awards have a ten year life. All share-based awards are expected to be fulfilled with new shares of common stock. Stock compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and was $21,101, $17,245 and $17,047 for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation arrangements was $2,706, $1,634 and $2,073 for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock Options In accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation, stock compensation expense for stock options is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period), net of actual forfeitures based on the grant-date fair value of the option under the equity accounting method. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the options granted were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Expected dividend yield — % — % — % Expected volatility 51 % 49 % 59 % Range of risk-free interest rates 3.92 % 1.40 % 0.52% Range of expected option lives 6 years 6 years 6 years Dividends are not paid on the Company’s common stock for fiscal 2023 and prior years. For grants during fiscal years ended 2023, 2022 and 2021, the expected volatility is based on the Company’s stock price volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the options. The expected life of options is estimated using the simplified method due to limited historical exercise activity. The Company does not estimate forfeitures, which are accounted for as they occur. Stock option activity for the period September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2023 was as follows: Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Outstanding as of September 30, 2020 1,375 $ 15.66 $ 11,443 Granted 72 $ 29.80 Exercised (678) $ 12.30 $ 33,075 Forfeited — — Outstanding as of September 30, 2021 769 $ 19.95 $ 10.89 $ 51,441 Granted 42 $ 105.94 $ 49.39 Exercised (98) $ 12.58 $ 9.84 $ 8,703 Forfeited — — Outstanding as of September 30, 2022 713 $ 26.00 $ 13.29 $ 38,062 5.22 Granted 51 $ 101.66 $ 54.06 Exercised (74) $ 13.26 $ 9.56 $ 9,201 Forfeited — — Outstanding as of September 30, 2023 690 $ 32.93 $ 16.69 $ 80,152 9.75 Exercisable as of September 30, 2023 539 $ 23.45 $ 67,835 4.13 As of September 30, 2023, there was $1,117 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options granted expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 9.8 years. The total fair value of shares vested during fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $1,924, $1,447 and $1,465, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises for the fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $973, $1,230 and $8,535, respectively. The actual tax benefit for the tax deductions from stock option exercises totaled $2,300, $2,176 and $8,228, respectively, for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021. The Company does not settle any option exercises, under its current stock incentive plan, in cash. Restricted Stock Units Generally, RSUs granted under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan vest ratably over three years. The fair value of RSU grants was based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. RSU compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period. Changes to the Company’s nonvested RSU awards for the year ended September 30, 2023 were as follows: Shares Weighted-average grant-date fair value Nonvested as of September 30, 2020 405 $ 26.44 Granted 218 32.01 Vested (229) 23.78 Forfeited (10) 28.48 Nonvested as of September 30, 2021 384 30.30 Granted 100 103.94 Vested (208) 27.40 Forfeited (14) 49.23 Nonvested as of September 30, 2022 262 58.72 Granted 138 102.71 Vested (144) 47.43 Forfeited (10) 84.89 Nonvested as of September 30, 2023 246 $ 86.16 As of September 30, 2023, there was $10,782 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs granted, expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.37 years. The total fair value of RSUs vested during fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $17,878, $20,342 and $8,897 respectively. Performance Share Units The Company awards PSUs whose vesting is contingent upon meeting or exceeding certain market and performance conditions. The performance condition, which was based on an adjusted net income, represented 70% of the award and the market condition, which was based on Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) of the Company's common stock relative to a peer group represented the remaining 30%. All PSUs cliff vest at the end of three years based on the satisfaction of the performance conditions. Expense for the performance condition based award is recorded when the achievement of the performance condition is considered probable of achievement and is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. If such performance criteria are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation cost is reversed. Expense for the market condition based award is recorded on a straight-line basis over the explicit service period. The grant-date fair value for the performance condition based awards represents the closing stock price on the date of grant. For the grants in fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, the closing stock price on the date of grant was $101.66, $105.94 and $29.80 respectively. The grant-date fair value for the market condition based awards was determined using the Monte-Carlo method. The assumptions used in the Monte-Carlo method to value the performance share awards granted during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 were as follows: September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Expected dividend yield — % — % — % Expected volatility 68 % 63 % 61% - Risk free interest rates 4.15 % 0.83 % 0.21 % Expected life 3 years 3 years 3 years Fair value $121.52 $122.25 $33.80 For the fiscal years ended 2023, 2022 and 2021, dividends are not paid on the Company’s common stock. For grants during fiscal year ended 2023, 2022 and 2021, the expected volatility is based on the Company’s stock price volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the award. The expected life of the award represents the weighted-average period of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding, giving consideration to vesting schedules and expected exercise patterns. The Company does not estimate forfeitures, which are accounted for as they occur. Changes to the Company’s non-vested PSU awards for the year ended September 30, 2023 were as follows: Shares Weighted-average grant-date fair value Nonvested as of September 30, 2020 425 $ 25.15 Granted 156 31.67 Vested (171) 21.55 Adjustment for achieved performance upon issuance 57 22.95 Forfeited (14) 29.43 Nonvested as of September 30, 2021 453 $ 28.07 Granted 52 113.51 Vested (381) 18.17 Adjustment for achieved performance upon issuance 190 18.17 Forfeited (1) 57.61 Nonvested as of September 30, 2022 313 $ 48.19 Granted 69 110.71 Vested (190) 39.94 Adjustment for achieved performance upon issuance 83 39.31 Forfeited (1) 31.67 Nonvested as of September 30, 2023 273 $ 67.02 |

INCOME TAXES | 7. INCOME TAXES On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted into law. The IRA contains significant tax law changes, including a corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% on adjusted financial statement income, which if applicable for the Company would be effective beginning October 1, 2023, a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases after December 31, 2022, and various tax incentives which include, but are not limited to, credits related to the manufacturing and selling of components used in the solar energy industry which took effect on January 1, 2023. The Company has recognized the benefit of credits related to the manufacturing and selling of components used in the solar energy industry in the income tax provision. Significant components of income before income taxes and income tax expense for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023, September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 consisted of the following: (in thousands) September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Components of income before income taxes: United States $ 817,853 $ 1,174,109 $ 770,350 Non-U.S 32,437 29,511 9,651 Income before income taxes $ 850,290 $ 1,203,620 $ 780,001 Income tax expense: Current: United States: Federal $ 110,714 $ 228,141 $ 182,105 State 25,556 49,793 46,913 Non-U.S: 11,261 9,198 6,432 Current income tax expense $ 147,531 $ 287,132 $ 235,450 Deferred: United States: Federal $ 12,670 $ 3,174 $ (35,442) State 1,274 753 (7,281) Non-U.S: (1,085) (873) (583) Deferred income (benefit) tax expense 12,860 3,054 (43,306) Income tax expense $ 160,391 $ 290,186 $ 192,144 Differences between the statutory federal income tax rate and effective income tax rate are summarized below: (in thousands) September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Statutory federal tax 21 % 21 % 21 % Adjustments to reconcile to the effective income tax rate: State income taxes 3 % 3 % 4 % Stock-based compensation (1) % (1) % (1) % Solar tax credits (5) % — % — % Other 1 % 1 % 1 % Effective income tax rate 19 % 24 % 25 % The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal 2023 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes of $21,630 and solar tax credits of $39,493. The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal 2022 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes of $39,759, and limitations on executive compensation of $6,996 partially offset by $11,438 of excess tax benefit from share-based compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal 2021 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes of $30,680, current year valuation allowance expense of $2,190 and limitations on executive compensation of $2,587, partially offset by $7,352 of excess tax benefit from share-based compensation. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and tax purposes. The components of the net deferred income tax assets are as follows: (in thousands) September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 Deferred tax assets: Accrued liabilities and reserves $ 42,824 $ 47,582 Tax loss and credit carryforwards 20,648 17,272 Postretirement benefits — 583 Inventory 21,256 29,501 Lease obligations 29,722 17,779 Other 4,686 1,079 $ 119,136 $ 113,796 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment $ (37,814) $ (28,475) Intangible assets (49,084) (56,886) Right-of-use assets, net (29,583) (17,095) Other (5,376) (4,156) $ (121,857) $ (106,612) Net deferred tax liability before valuation allowance (2,721) 7,184 Valuation allowance (19,079) (13,415) Net deferred tax liability $ (21,800) $ (6,231) As of September 30, 2023, the Company has $7,744 of federal net operating loss carryforwards which do not expire and $23,599 of state net operating loss carryforwards which expire beginning in 2024 through 2036. In certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of $68,189 which have an expiration period ranging from five years to unlimited. Valuation allowances have been established on net operating losses and other deferred tax assets in Luxembourg, Australia, France, China, and other foreign and United States state jurisdictions, as a result of the Company's determination that there is less than 50% likelihood that these assets will be realized. Evidence for this determination includes three year cumulative loss positions, future reversal of temporary differences, and expectations of future losses. As of September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $2,581 and $985 which, if recognized, would positively benefit the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company had accrued interest and penalties of $236 and $77, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefit, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows: (in thousands) For the period from September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2023 Balance as of September 30, 2020 $ 1,614 Additions based on tax positions related to prior years 291 Additions based on tax positions related to current year 1,658 Settlements (230) Balance as of September 30, 2021 3,333 Additions based on tax positions related to prior years 322 Additions based on tax positions related to current year 342 Settlements (3,012) Balance as of September 30, 2022 985 Reductions based on tax positions related to prior years (75) Additions based on tax positions related to current year 1,792 Expiration of statute of limitations (121) Balance as of September 30, 2023 $ 2,581 During fiscal 2023, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1,792 as a result of federal and various state jurisdictions’ uncertain positions, partially offset by a decrease of $196 as a result of completing tax audits and the expiration of the statute of limitations in various state jurisdictions. The related accrued penalties and interest for uncertain tax positions increased by $158. During fiscal 2022, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $3,012 as a result of completing state tax audits and the expiration of the statute of limitations in various state jurisdictions, partially offset by an increase of $664, primarily related to various state jurisdictions’ uncertain tax positions. The related accrued penalties and interest for uncertain tax positions decreased by $183. During fiscal 2021, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1,949 as a result of federal and various state jurisdictions' uncertain tax positions, partially offset by a decrease of $230 as a result of completing tax audits and the expiration of the statute of limitations in various state jurisdictions. The related accrued penalties and interest for uncertain tax positions increased by $72. Many of the Company’s uncertain tax positions relate to tax years that remain subject to audit by the taxing authorities. The following tax years remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions as follows: Jurisdiction Years Open to Audit United States 2020, 2021 and 2022 The Company's income tax returns are examined periodically by various taxing authorities. The Company is currently under examination in various state jurisdictions. Based on the current status of its income tax audits, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that there would be no material changes to the unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. Other Income Tax Matters — Prior to the passage of the TCJA, foreign undistributed earnings were generally subject to U.S. taxation when repatriated. The TCJA imposed a one-time transition tax on previously untaxed accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company has accumulated earnings and profits deficit, therefore did not record an additional tax liability for the transition tax. The TCJA adopts a new quasi-territorial tax regime that eliminates U.S income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries. The Company may still be liable for foreign taxes, such as withholding taxes, if earnings are repatriated. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $98 provision for withholding taxes on the planned distribution of income from one of its European subsidiaries. The Company did not record income tax or non-income tax expense related to the remaining foreign earnings, and did not record any deferred tax liabilities for any basis differences in investments in subsidiaries as the earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested, the investments are essentially permanent in duration, or the Company has concluded that there will be no additional tax liability as a result of the distribution of the income. As of September 30, 2023, certain subsidiaries had approximately $131,056 of undistributed income that the Company intends to permanently reinvest. A liability could arise if the Company's intention to permanently reinvest such income were to change and amounts are distributed by such subsidiaries or if such subsidiaries are ultimately disposed of. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to permanently reinvested income or the basis differences related to investments in subsidiaries. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
EARNINGS PER SHARE | 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per common share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities as if all of the net earnings for the period had been distributed. The Company's participating securities consist of share-based payment awards that contain a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends and therefore are considered to participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders. Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing the net earnings allocable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings allocated to common stock by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Fiscal Year Ended (in thousands, except per share data) September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Numerator: Net income $ 689,899 $ 913,434 $ 587,857 Less: Undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities 10,637 14,460 11,380 Net income available to common shareholders $ 679,262 $ 898,974 $ 576,477 Denominator: Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 38,797 43,717 46,569 Effect of dilutive securities: Non-participating employee stock options (1) 531 563 737 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 39,328 44,280 47,306 Basic earnings per share $ 17.51 $ 20.56 $ 12.38 Diluted earnings per share $ 17.27 $ 20.30 $ 12.19 (1) There were no Stock options to shares of common stock were outstanding during the years ended September 30, 2023, September 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively, Any options available would not be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the impact of these would have been anti-dilutive. |

Approximately 82% and 82% of the Company's inventories are valued at the lower of LIFO cost or market at September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. (in thousands) September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 Purchased materials and manufactured parts, net $ 231,518 $ 166,038 Work in process, net 60,524 61,182 Finished goods, net 201,810 227,291 Inventories, net $ 493,852 $ 454,511 Total inventories would be $29,826 higher and $64,550 higher than reported as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, if the first-in, first-out method was used for all inventories. During the years ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, inventory quantities in specific pools were lower at the end of the period than the quantities at the beginning of the period. This reduction resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at net lower costs prevailing in the respective prior years as compared with the cost of respective current year purchases. The effect of this inventory reduction resulted in decreased cost of goods sold and increased operating income of approximately $2,394 and $248. |

The voluntary prepayment on the New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility resulted in the removal of all principal payment requirements until the contractual maturity of the debt in fiscal 2028. No additional payments were made in fiscal 2022 or fiscal 2023. As of September 30, 2023, future contractual maturities of long-term debt are as follows (in thousands): 2024 $ — 2025 — 2026 — 2027 — 2028 373,000 2029 and thereafter 400,000 Total $ 773,000 Senior Notes - On May 26, 2021, the Company completed the issuance and sale of the $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Senior Notes”) in a private offering. The Senior Notes were sold only to qualified institutional buyers in compliance with Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S of the Securities Act. New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility - On May 26, 2021, the Company entered into a new $400 million senior secured term loan facility (the “New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility”). The New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility will mature on May 26, 2028 and borrowings thereunder bear interest at the rate of either (x) LIBOR (with a floor of 0.50%) plus 2.00%, or (y) an alternate base rate (with a floor of 1.50%) plus 1.00%. The New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility has an annual amortization rate of 1.00%. On March 15, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in lieu of LIBOR, consisting of an applicable margin of 2.00% and a credit spread adjustment of (i) 0.11448% for a one-month interest period, (ii) 0.26161% for a three-month interest period and (iii) 0.42826% for a six-month interest period. ABL Credit Facility — On August 28 2020, AII amended the ABL Credit Facility (the “Amended ABL Facility”). The amendment, among other things, extended the maturity of the facility to August 28, 2023, and increased the interest rate margins applicable to loans under the facility to (i) in the case of United States dollar-denominated loans, either (x) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%, or (y) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%, each based on available loan commitments or (ii) in the case of Canadian dollar-denominated loans, either (x) the BA rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% or (y) a Canadian prime rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%, each based on available loan commitments. The Amended ABL Credit Facility bears a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, of 0.375% per annum. The Amended ABL Credit Facility also bears customary letter of credit fees. The revisions to the ABL Credit Facility were accounted for as a debt extinguishment, resulting in immediate expensing of unamortized financing costs of $273 for the year ended September 30, 2020. On May 26, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Credit Facility. The amendment (i) extends the maturity of the facility to the earlier of five years from entering into the amendment or 91 days prior to the maturity date of the New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility if at least $100 million of obligations remain outstanding under the New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility on such date (ii) decreases the interest rate margins applicable to loans under the facility to (a) in the case of United States dollar-denominated loans, either (x) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%, or (y) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% or (b) in the case of Canadian dollar-denominated loans, either (x) the bankers acceptance rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% or (y) a Canadian prime rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%. (iii) decreases the fee payable with respect to unutilized availability under the facility from 0.375% to 0.30%, depending on the remaining availability under the ABL Credit Facility the rate may decrease to 0.25% and (iv) made certain other changes agreed with the lenders under the ABL Credit Facility. Further, on March 24, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended ABL Credit Facility to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on SOFR in lieu of LIBOR, consisting of an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The Amended ABL Credit Facility has aggregate commitments of $325,000 and is guaranteed by AII, the United States subsidiaries owned directly or indirectly by AII and certain other restricted subsidiaries of AII that AII causes to be a subsidiary guarantor from time to time including as of the closing date for the Amended ABL Credit Facility, Columbia-MBF, Inc., a corporation formed by amalgamation under the laws of Canada (“Columbia-MBF”). AII's availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $322,406 and $312,095 as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Availability under the ABL Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base equal to the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 80% of eligible inventory of each borrower and guarantor, valued at the lower of cost and fair market value and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, subject to certain limitations. There were no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility and the ABL Credit Facility are secured by all of the assets of AII and the guarantors under such facilities. The New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility has priority over all real property, plant and equipment, intellectual property and capital stock of AII and any guarantor and any documents or instruments evidencing the foregoing assets. The ABL Credit Facility has second priority over the foregoing assets. The ABL Credit Facility has first priority over cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory and other documents and instruments evidencing the foregoing assets. The New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility has second priority over the foregoing assets. The aforementioned debt instruments contain customary covenants typical for this type of financing, including limitations on indebtedness, restricted payments including dividends, liens, restrictions on distributions from restricted subsidiaries, sales of assets, affiliate transactions and mergers and consolidations. Many of these covenants are only applicable when the Company has surpassed certain thresholds relating to its indebtedness and availability under the ABL Credit Facility. Additionally, these debt instruments include customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, covenant default, payment defaults and accelerations under other indebtedness, judgment defaults and bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company or certain of its subsidiaries. Use of Proceeds - In fiscal 2021, the proceeds from the Senior Notes and the New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility were used to repay the remaining principal of the existing First Lien Term Loan Facility of $772.0 million and $4.0 million of accrued interest. The Company accounted for the repayment of the First Lien Term Loan Facility as an extinguishment of debt and recorded a $4.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt. The Company accounted for the amendment to the ABL Credit Facility as a modification of debt. The ABL Credit Facility has remained unused in both fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company periodically uses forward currency contracts to hedge the effects of foreign exchange relating to intercompany balances denominated in a foreign currency. These derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges by the Company. Short-term forward currency contracts are recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other current liabilities and long-term forward currency contracts are recorded in other long-term assets or other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets for the applicable period. The fair value gains and losses are included in other income, net within the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 6, “Other (Income) and Expense, net” for further detail. The Company had no active forward currency contracts or other derivative instruments as of September 30, 2023, or September 30, 2022, with the last such contract having expired in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company had £37.4 million of undesignated forward currency contracts as of September 30, 2021. Cash flows associated with derivative financial instruments are recognized in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The following table presents the recurring assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 in accordance with the fair value hierarchy: September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cash equivalents $ 321,282 $ — $ — $ 291,757 $ — $ — Forward currency contracts — — — — — — Liabilities Forward currency contracts — $ — — — $ — — The Company’s remaining financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable whose carrying value approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets were as follows: September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 (in thousands) Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility due May 26, 2028 $ 373,000 $ 372,068 $ 373,000 $ 370,203 Senior Notes due June 2031 400,000 334,368 400,000 318,912 Total debt $ 773,000 $ 706,436 $ 773,000 $ 689,115 In determining the approximate fair value of its long-term debt, the Company used the trading value among financial institutions, which were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the ABL Credit Facility approximates fair value due to it being market-linked variable rate debt. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has obligations related to commitments to purchase certain goods. As of September 30, 2023, such obligations were $127,756 for fiscal 2024, $3,816 for fiscal 2025 and $4,800 thereafter. These amounts represent open purchase orders for materials used in production. Insurable Liabilities — The Company maintains policies with various insurance companies for its workers’ compensation, product, property, general, auto, and executive liability risks. The insurance policies that the Company maintains have various retention levels and excess coverage limits. The establishment and update of liabilities for unpaid claims, including claims incurred but not reported, is based on management's estimate as a result of the assessment by the Company's claim administrator of each claim and an independent actuarial valuation of the nature and severity of total claims. The Company utilizes a third-party claims administrator to pay claims, track and evaluate actual claims experience, and ensure consistency in the data used in the actuarial valuation. Legal Contingencies — Historically, a number of lawsuits have been filed against the Company and the Company has also received other claim demand letters alleging that the Company's anti-microbial coated steel sprinkler pipe, which the Company has not manufactured or sold for several years, is incompatible with chlorinated polyvinyl chloride and caused stress cracking in such pipe manufactured by third parties when installed together in the same sprinkler system, which the Company refers to collectively as the “Special Products Claims.” Tyco International Ltd. (“Tyco”), now Johnson Controls, Inc. (“JCI”), has a contractual obligation to indemnify the Company in respect of all remaining and future claims of incompatibility between the Company's antimicrobial coated steel sprinkler pipe and CPVC pipe used in the same sprinkler system. When Special Products Claims arise, JCI has defended and indemnified the Company as required. As of September 30, 2023, the Company believes that the range of reasonably possible losses for Special Products Claims and other product liabilities is between $1,000 and $8,000. At this time, the Company does not expect the outcome of the Special Products Claims proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, and the Company believes that its reserves are adequate for all remaining contingencies for Special Products Claims. During the year ended September 30, 2020, one of the Company’s manufacturing facilities experienced a flood which resulted in damages to certain property, plant and equipment. This facility was covered under the Company’s property and casualty loss and business interruption insurance policies. During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company settled the related insurance claim and received $15,500 of business interruption recovery proceeds related to this incident. The amount was recorded as other income within the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2021. In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time, the Company is subject to a number of disputes, administrative proceedings and other claims arising out of the ordinary conduct of the Company's business. These matters generally relate to disputes arising out of the use or installation of the Company’s products, product liability litigation, contract disputes, patent infringement accusations, employment matters, personal injury claims and similar matters. On the basis of information currently available to the Company, it does not believe that existing proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is unpredictable, and the Company could incur judgments or enter into settlements for current or future claims that could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |

Guarantees and Product Warranties [Abstract] | |
GUARANTEES | 16. GUARANTEES The Company has outstanding letters of credit totaling $2,594 supporting workers’ compensation and general liability insurance policies and surety bonds primarily related to performance guarantees on supply agreements and construction contracts, and payment of duties and taxes totaling $37,087 as of September 30, 2023. In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company often provides representations, warranties and indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company does not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, the Company has no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for product performance and contract completion. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | 17. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Electrical segment manufactures high quality products used in the construction of electrical power systems including conduit, cable, and installation accessories. This segment serves contractors in partnership with the electrical wholesale channel. The Safety & Infrastructure segment designs and manufactures solutions including metal framing, mechanical pipe, perimeter security, and cable management for the protection and reliability of critical infrastructure. These solutions are marketed to contractors, original equipment manufacturers and end users. Both segments use Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of profit and loss. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted to exclude unallocated expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, restructuring charges, impairment charges, stock-based compensation, certain legal matters, transaction costs, gain on purchase of business, gain on sale of a business and other items, such as inventory reserves and adjustments, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, insurance recovery related to damages of property, plant and equipment, release of indemnified uncertain tax positions, and realized or unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency impacts of intercompany loans and related forward currency derivatives. Intersegment transactions primarily consist of product sales at designated transfer prices on an arm's-length basis. Gross profit earned and reported within the segment is eliminated in the Company’s consolidated results. Certain manufacturing and distribution expenses are allocated between the segments on a pro rata basis due to the shared nature of activities. Recorded amounts represent a proportional amount of the quantity of product produced for each segment. Certain assets, such as machinery and equipment and facilities, are not allocated to each segment despite serving both segments.

(PARENT) CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (dollars in thousands) 1. Description of Atkore Inc. Atkore Inc. (the “Company,” “Parent” or “Atkore”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 4, 2010 under the name Atkore International Group Inc. The Company was the stockholder of Atkore International Holdings Inc. (“AIH”), which was the sole stockholder of Atkore International Inc. (“AII”). On December 31, 2022, AIH merged into AII, with AII being the surviving entity. Accordingly, Atkore is now the sole stakeholder of AII. Prior to the transactions described below, all of the capital stock of AII was owned by Tyco International Ltd. (“Tyco”). The business of AII was operated as the Tyco Electrical and Metal Products (“TEMP”) business of Tyco. Atkore was initially formed by Tyco as a holding company to hold ownership of TEMP. On November 9, 2010, Tyco announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell a majority interest in TEMP to CD&R Allied Holdings, L.P. (the “CD&R Investor”), an affiliate of the private equity firm Clayton Dubilier & Rice, LLC (“CD&R”). On December 22, 2010, the transaction was completed and CD&R acquired shares of a newly created class of cumulative convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) of the Company. The Preferred Stock initially represented 51% of the Company's outstanding capital stock (on an as-converted basis). On December 22, 2010, the Company also issued common stock (the “Common Stock”) to Tyco's wholly owned subsidiary, Tyco International Holding S.à.r.l. (“Tyco Seller”), that initially represented the remaining 49% of the Company's outstanding capital stock. Subsequent to December 22, 2010, the Company has operated as an independent, stand-alone entity. On March 6, 2014, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with Tyco for the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of 40.3 million shares of Common Stock held by Tyco Seller. On April 9, 2014, the Company paid $250,000 to Tyco Seller to redeem the shares, which were subsequently retired. The Company paid $2,000 of expenses related to the share redemption. In a separate transaction on the same date, the CD&R Investor converted its Preferred Stock and accumulated Preferred Dividends into Common Stock. As a result, Common Stock is the Company's sole issued and outstanding class of securities. The Parent has no significant operations or assets other than its indirect ownership of the equity of AII. Accordingly, the Parent is dependent upon distributions from AII to fund its obligations. However, under the terms of the agreements governing AII's borrowings, AII's ability to pay dividends or lend to Atkore Holding or the Parent, is restricted. While certain exceptions to the paying dividends or lending funds restrictions exist, these restrictions have resulted in the restricted net assets (as defined in Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X) of the Company's subsidiaries exceeding 25% of the consolidated net assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Atkore Holding has no obligations to pay dividends to the Parent except to pay specified amounts to Parent in order to fund the payment of the Parent's tax obligations. 2. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed Parent only financial statements are required in accordance with Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X. The financial statements include the amounts of the Parent and its investment in its subsidiaries under the equity method and does not present the financial statements of the Parent and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Under the equity method, investment in its subsidiaries is stated at cost plus contributions and equity in undistributed income (loss) of subsidiary less distributions received since the date of acquisition. These condensed Parent only financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Atkore Inc. consolidated financial statements and their accompanying notes. 3. Dividends and Distributions from Subsidiaries The Company received distributions of $491,033, $500,161, and $135,066 from its subsidiaries for the years ended September 30, 2023, September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The distributions received in fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021 were used to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock. These dividends were permissible under an exception to the net asset restrictions of the agreements governing AII's borrowings, which allow for dividend payments from AII to the Parent for the purpose of repurchasing shares of Parent's common stock. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation — The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). |
Fiscal Periods | Fiscal Periods |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition — The Company’s revenue arrangements primarily consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods which is satisfied at a point in time when title, risks and rewards of ownership, and subsequently control have transferred to the customer. This generally occurs when the product is shipped to the customer, with an immaterial amount of transactions in which control transfers upon delivery. The Company primarily offers assurance-type standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations. Under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”), the Company is eligible for tax credits related to the manufacturing and selling of components used in the solar energy industry, starting on January 1, 2023. These tax credits are transferable under the IRA when they meet certain criteria. When credits do not meet the transferability criteria, the benefit is recognized within income tax expense in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The Company concluded that the tax credits earned during fiscal 2023 are not transferable and as a result, the Company recognized the benefit of the fiscal 2023 tax credits in its income tax expense. The Company has contractual arrangements with some customers who purchase credit eligible components to transfer a portion of these tax credits to those customers. In instances where the Company has such arrangements, and the credits are not transferable, the Company may transfer the economic value of the agreed upon portion of the tax credits in a manner agreed upon between the Company and the customer. Pursuant to such contractual arrangements, if the tax credits are eligible for transfer and will be transferred to the customer, the Company identifies two separate performance obligations under these contracts with the first being to transfer the promised goods and the second being to transfer the defined portion of the tax credits earned. The Company allocates the total value of these transactions between the two performance obligations. As a result of this allocation, the Company recognizes a reduction to revenue, similar to a rebate. When the Company does not transfer credits but instead transfers only the economic value, there is only a single performance obligation to transfer the promised goods with transfer of the economic value of the credits recognized as a reduction of revenue. The solar tax credit receivable is recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets whereas the liability to transfer the defined portion of the tax credits or the economic value is recorded in Customer Liabilities. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company has recognized a reduction of revenue of $30,401 for the economic value of tax credits to be transferred and a year to date benefit to income tax expense of $39,493. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has a $30,401 liability for credits to be transferred or the economic value of the credits and a solar tax credit receivable of $39,493. As of September 30, 2023, all activity related to the solar tax credits is within the Safety & Infrastructure segment. The Company has certain arrangements that require it to estimate at the time of sale the amounts of variable consideration that should not be recorded as revenue as certain amounts are not expected to be collected from customers, as well as an estimate of the value of products to be returned. The Company principally relies on historical experience, specific customer agreements, and anticipated future trends to estimate these amounts at the time of sale and to reduce the transaction price. These arrangements include sales discounts and allowances, volume rebates, and returned goods. The Company records its obligations related to these items within the Customer Liabilities line on the balance sheet. The Company has elected to utilize certain practical expedients available under GAAP. The Company records amounts billed to customers for reimbursement of shipping and handling costs within revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has |
Cost of Sales | Cost of Sales — The Company includes all costs directly related to the production of goods for sale in cost of sales in the statement of operations. These costs include direct material, direct labor, production related overheads, excess and obsolescence costs, lower of cost or market provisions, freight and distribution costs, and the depreciation and amortization of assets directly used in the production of goods for sale. |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | Selling, General and Administrative Expenses — These amounts primarily include payroll-related expenses for both administrative and selling personnel, compensation expense from stock-based awards, restructuring-related charges, third-party professional services and transactional gains or losses for foreign currency transactions, excluding the foreign exchange exposure for intercompany loan transactions, which is included in Other (income) and expense, net. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for current and expected credit losses — The Company carries its accounts receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for current and expected credit losses. The allowance for current and expected credit losses reflects the best estimate of current and expected losses inherent in the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other available evidence. |
Inventories | Inventories |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment, net, is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense when incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Buildings 4 to 40 years Building improvements 3 to 20 years Machinery and equipment 1 to 20 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of remaining term of the lease or useful life Software 2 to 10 years The internal and external costs incurred to develop internal use computer software during the application development stage of the implementation, including the design of the chosen path, are capitalized. Other costs, including expenses incurred during the preliminary project stage, training expenses, data conversion costs and expenses incurred in the post implementation stage are expensed in the period incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized ratably over the useful life of the software when the software becomes operational. Upgrades and enhancements to internal use software are capitalized |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations — The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control is obtained, all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities requires estimates and the use of valuation techniques when market value is not readily available. For intangible assets acquired in a business combination, the Company typically use the income method. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, discount rates and useful lives. The excess of the purchase price over fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill |
Long-Lived Asset and Finite - Lived Intangible Asset Impairments | Long-Lived Asset and Finite - Lived Intangible Asset Impairments — The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company groups assets at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identified in order to measure an impairment. Recoverability of an asset or asset group is first measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the estimated fair value. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on the estimated fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of or held for sale, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal. |
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairments | Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairments — The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names on an annual basis in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” The measurement date is the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently, if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or the respective indefinite-lived trade name is less than the carrying value. The Company can elect to perform a quantitative or qualitative test of impairment. For fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021 the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment for goodwill. The Company calculated the fair value of its six reporting units considering three valuation approaches: (a) the income approach; (b) the guideline public company method; and (c) the comparable transaction method. The income approach calculates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach. Internally forecasted future cash flows, which the Company believes reasonably approximate market participant assumptions, are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (Discount Rate) developed for each reporting unit. The Discount Rate is developed using market observable inputs, as well as considering whether or not there is a measure of risk related to the specific reporting unit’s forecasted performance. The key uncertainties in these calculations are the assumptions used in determining the reporting unit’s forecasted future performance, including revenue growth and EBITDA margins, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts. Fair value under the guideline public company method is determined for each reporting unit by applying market multiples for comparable public companies to the reporting unit’s financial results. Fair value under the comparable transaction method is determined based on exchange prices in actual transactions and on asking prices for controlling interests in public or private companies currently offered for sale by applying market multiples for comparable public companies to the unit’s financial results. The key uncertainties in the guideline public company method and the comparable transaction method calculations are the assumptions used in determining the reporting unit's comparable public companies, comparable transactions and the selection of the market multiples. As a result of the Company’s plans to exit its operations in Russia and expectation to sell the related business at a loss, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment of $1,721 that was allocated from the reporting unit on a relative fair value basis. With the exception of the impairment recorded to the expected sale of the Russia operations, the Company did not record any other goodwill impairments in fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements — Authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. In cases where two or more levels of inputs are used to determine fair value, a financial instrument's level is determined based on the lowest level input that is considered significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows: Level 1-inputs are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities which are accessible as of the measurement date. Level 2-inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations for the asset or liability that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data for which the primary inputs are observable, including forward interest rates, yield curves, credit risk and exchange rates. |
Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions | Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions — The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year it is expected the differences will reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period of the enactment date. The Company periodically assesses the realizability of the deferred tax assets. In making this determination management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including earnings history, expectations of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to the amount that is considered more likely than not to be realized. Changes in the required valuation allowance are recorded in income in the period such determination is made. |
Leases | Leases The Company engages in leasing transactions to meet the needs of the business. The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, office space, forklifts, vehicles and other machinery and equipment. The determination to lease, rather than purchase, an asset is primarily contingent upon capital requirements, duration of the forecasted business investment, and asset availability. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and all arrangements deemed to be leases are subject to an assessment to determine the classification between finance and operating leases. The Company's significant assumptions and judgments in determining whether a contract is or contains a lease include establishing whether the supplier has the ability to use other assets to fulfill its service or whether the terms of the agreement enable the Company to control the use of a dedicated property, plant and equipment asset during the contract term. In the majority of the Company's contracts where it must identify whether a lease is present, it is readily determinable that the Company controls the use of the assets and obtains substantially all of the economic benefit during the term of the contract. In those contracts where identification is not readily determinable, the Company has determined that the supplier has either the ability to use another asset to provide the service or the terms of the contract give the supplier the rights to operate the asset at its discretion during the term of the contract, in which case the arrangement would not constitute a lease. Right-of-use assets and lease obligations are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date. The Company’s lease agreements have terms that include both lease and non-lease components. Lease component fees are included in the present value of future minimum lease payments. Conversely, non-lease components are not subject to capitalization and are expensed as incurred. Per ASC 842 “Leases,” the contractual interest rate is used to calculate the present value of the future minimum lease payments. However, the majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company's significant assumption and judgments in determining the discount rate include determining the incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the lease, the economic environment of the lease and the effect of collateralization. The valuation of the ROU asset also includes lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date and initial direct costs incurred to secure the lease and is reduced for lease incentives. The lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the options. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has certain leasing agreements, related to leased vehicles available to our sales personnel, that contain guaranteed residual value terms, which are not expected to be triggered. The Company’s leasing portfolio does not contain any material restrictive covenants. |
Translation of Foreign Currency | Translation of Foreign Currency — For the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries that report in a functional currency other than United States dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using period end exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the monthly average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. |
