Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Accounting policies | NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Principles The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") on a basis consistent with that used in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017 ("2017 Form 10-K") filed by Commercial Metals Company ("CMC," and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and stockholders' equity for the periods indicated. These notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2017 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The ASU better aligns accounting rules with a company's risk management activities; better reflects economic results of hedging in financial statements; and simplifies hedge accounting treatment. For public companies, this standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. The standard must be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption, and the effect of adoption should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements as well as determining the Company's planned adoption date. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017 and will be effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2018, at which point the Company plans to adopt the standard. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a retrospective approach, which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and has modified the standard thereafter. The standard requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of twelve months or longer. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2018 and will be effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2019, at which point the Company plans to adopt the standard. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with elective reliefs, which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. The Company has a project plan in place to address the effects of ASU 2016-02 and any modifications thereafter, including evaluation of the impact of this guidance on internal processes, internal controls, and its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and has modified the standard thereafter. Under the standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and will be effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2018, at which point the Company plans to adopt the standard. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company currently expects to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective method. The Company believes there will not be a material impact on its statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows in its Americas Mills, Americas Recycling or International Mill segments. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, for certain contracts within the Americas Fabrication segment in which revenue is currently recognized over time on a percentage of completion basis using a cost-to-cost measure of progress, the measure of progress will change to an output measure to align with the pattern of transfer of control on these contracts. In addition, the standard includes expanded disclosure requirements, which the Company continues to analyze. As part of the overall evaluation of the standard, the Company is also identifying and preparing to implement changes to its accounting policies, practices, and internal controls over financial reporting to support the standard both in the transition period as well as on an on-going basis. |

Changes in Business | NOTE 2. CHANGES IN BUSINESS Pending Acquisition On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire certain U.S. rebar steel mill and fabrication assets from Gerdau S.A., a producer of long and specialty steel products in the Americas for a cash purchase price of $600.0 million , subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition includes 33 rebar fabrication facilities in the U.S. as well as steel mills located in Knoxville, Tennessee; Jacksonville, Florida; Sayreville, New Jersey and Rancho Cucamonga, California, with annual melt capacity of 2.7 million tons, bringing the Company’s global melt capacity to approximately 7.2 million tons at the close of the transaction. The closing of the transaction is expected before calendar year-end 2018 and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including customary regulatory review. The Company expects to fund the purchase price for the acquisition with cash on hand, term loans, borrowings under the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) or another credit facility, or the proceeds from an offering of one or more series of debt securities. Businesses Held for Sale On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of its structural steel fabrication operations, which are part of the Americas Fabrication segment. This disposition does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations. The assets and liabilities related to these operations are included as assets and liabilities of businesses held for sale & discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented, the major components of which are presented in the table below. (in thousands) February 28, 2018 August 31, 2017* Assets: Accounts receivable $ 38,846 $ 38,279 Inventories, net 8,311 10,676 Other current assets 35 77 Assets of businesses held for sale & discontinued operations $ 47,192 $ 49,032 Liabilities: Accounts payable-trade $ 15,667 $ 13,108 Accrued expenses and other payables 10,424 16,785 Liabilities of businesses held for sale & discontinued operations $ 26,091 $ 29,893 * At August 31, 2017, $8.8 million of property, plant, and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization is included in other noncurrent assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Discontinued Operations In June 2017, the Company announced a plan to exit its International Marketing and Distribution segment, including its trading operations in the U.S., Asia, and Australia. As an initial step in this plan, on August 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its raw materials business, CMC Cometals. Additionally, during the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the remaining operations related to the Company's steel trading business in the U.S. and Asia were substantially wound down. Finally, on March 1, 2018, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities of its Australian steel trading business. The results of these activities are included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings for all periods presented. With the conclusion of operations in this segment, any activities carried out within the segment are no longer of ongoing significance; accordingly, segment data with respect to International Marketing and Distribution activities will no longer be reported. See Note 14, Business Segments, for further discussion of the exit of the International Marketing and Distribution segment. The major classes of line items constituting earnings from discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of earnings, which primarily relate to International Marketing and Distribution activities, are presented in the table below.

Sales of accounts receivable | NOTE 4. SALES OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE For added flexibility with the Company's liquidity, we may sell certain trade accounts receivable both in the U.S. and internationally. CMC has a $200.0 million U.S. sale of trade accounts receivable program which expires in August 2019. Under the program, CMC contributes, and certain of its subsidiaries sell without recourse, certain eligible trade accounts receivable to CMC Receivables, Inc. ("CMCRV"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMC. CMCRV is structured to be a bankruptcy-remote entity formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling trade accounts receivable generated by the Company. CMCRV sells the trade accounts receivable in their entirety to two financial institutions. Under the U.S. sale of trade accounts receivable program, with the consent of both CMCRV and the program's administrative agent, the amount advanced by the financial institutions can be increased to a maximum of $300.0 million for all trade accounts receivable sold. The remaining portion of the purchase price of the trade accounts receivable takes the form of subordinated notes from the respective financial institutions. These notes will be satisfied from the ultimate collection of the trade accounts receivable after payment of certain fees and other costs. The Company accounts for sales of the trade accounts receivable as true sales, and the trade accounts receivable balances that are sold are removed from the consolidated balance sheets. The cash advances received are reflected as cash from operating activities on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, the U.S. sale of trade accounts receivable program contains certain cross-default provisions whereby a termination event could occur if the Company defaulted under certain of its credit arrangements. The covenants contained in the receivables purchase agreement are consistent with the Credit Agreement described in Note 7, Credit Arrangements. At February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017 , under its U.S. sale of trade accounts receivable program, the Company had sold $246.7 million and $226.9 million of trade accounts receivable, respectively, to the financial institutions. At February 28, 2018 , the Company had no advance payments outstanding on the sale of its U.S. trade accounts receivable. At August 31, 2017 , the Company had $90.0 million in advance payments outstanding on the sale of its U.S. trade accounts receivable. In addition to the U.S. sale of trade accounts receivable program described above, the Company's international subsidiaries in Poland sell, and previously in Australia have sold, trade accounts receivable to financial institutions without recourse. These arrangements constitute true sales, and once the trade accounts receivable are sold, they are no longer available to the Company's creditors in the event of bankruptcy and are removed from the consolidated balance sheets. The Polish program has a facility limit of 220.0 million Polish zloty ("PLN") ( $64.2 million as of February 28, 2018 ) and allows the Company's Polish subsidiaries to obtain an advance of up to 90% of eligible trade accounts receivable sold under the terms of the arrangement. Under the Polish and Australian programs, the cash advances received were reflected as cash from operating activities on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company's Australian program expired, and the Company did not enter into a new program. At February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017 , under its Polish program, the Company sold $91.3 million and $79.5 million of trade accounts receivable, respectively, to the third-party financial institution. At both February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017 , the Company had no advance payments outstanding on the sales of its Polish trade accounts receivable. During the six months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 , cash proceeds from the U.S. and international sale of trade accounts receivable programs were $1.4 million and $178.8 million , respectively, and cash payments to the owners of trade accounts receivable were $91.4 million and $183.9 million , respectively. For a nominal servicing fee, the Company is responsible for servicing the trade accounts receivable for the U.S. program. Discounts on U.S. and international sales of trade accounts receivable were $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018 , respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2017 , respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of earnings. As of February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017 , the deferred purchase price on the Company's U.S. and international sale of trade accounts receivable programs was included in accounts receivable on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The 2022 Term Loan was drawn upon on July 13, 2017. The Company is required to make quarterly payments on the 2022 Term Loan equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount. The maximum availability under the Credit Agreement, together with the 2022 Term Loan, can be increased to $750.0 million with bank approval.

The Credit Agreement's capacity includes $50.0 million for the issuance of stand-by letters of credit. On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement that provides a senior secured term loan B facility in the maximum principal amount of up to $600.0 million (the "Term Loan B Facility").

Derivatives and risk management | NOTE 8. DERIVATIVES AND RISK MANAGEMENT The Company's global operations and product lines expose it to risks from fluctuations in metal commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, natural gas prices and interest rates. One objective of the Company's risk management program is to mitigate these risks using derivative instruments. The Company enters into (i) metal commodity futures and forward contracts to mitigate the risk of unanticipated changes in gross margin due to the volatility of the commodities' prices, and (ii) foreign currency forward contracts that match the expected settlements for purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies. At February 28, 2018 , the notional values of the Company's foreign currency contract commitments and its commodity contract commitments were $300.9 million and $55.3 million , respectively. At February 28, 2017 , the notional values of the Company's foreign currency contract commitments and its commodity contract commitments were $256.4 million and $36.3 million , respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair value | NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE The Company has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Levels within the hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level 1) which are observable, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The following tables summarize information regarding the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (in thousands) February 28, 2018 Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Assets: Investment deposit accounts (1) $ 144,904 $ 144,904 $ — $ — Commodity derivative assets (2) 1,070 1,070 — Foreign exchange derivative assets (2) 3,787 — 3,787 — Liabilities: Commodity derivative liabilities (2) 289 289 — — Foreign exchange derivative liabilities (2) 1,539 — 1,539 — Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (in thousands) August 31, 2017 Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Assets: Investment deposit accounts (1) $ 43,553 $ 43,553 $ — $ — Commodity derivative assets (2) 767 767 — — Foreign exchange derivative assets (2) 1,367 — 1,367 — Liabilities: Commodity derivative liabilities (2) 3,251 3,251 — — Foreign exchange derivative liabilities (2) 5,259 — 5,259 — _________________ (1) Investment deposit accounts are short-term in nature, and the value is determined by principal plus interest. The investment portfolio mix can change each period based on the Company's assessment of investment options. (2) Derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 are commodity futures contracts valued based on quoted market prices in the London Metal Exchange or New York Mercantile Exchange. Amounts in Level 2 are based on broker quotes in the over-the-counter market. Further discussion regarding the Company's use of derivative instruments and the classification of the assets and liabilities is included in Note 8, Derivatives and Risk Management. In connection with the sale of assets related to the Company's structural steel fabrication operations, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $12.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2018. The signed definitive asset sale agreement (Level 2) was the basis for the determination of fair value of these operations. There were no other material non-recurring fair value remeasurements during the three and six months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 . The carrying values of the Company's short-term items, including the deferred purchase price of accounts receivable, documentary letters of credit and notes payable, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows: February 28, 2018 August 31, 2017 (in thousands) Fair Value Hierarchy Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value 2027 Notes (1) Level 2 $ 300,000 $ 303,600 $ 300,000 $ 314,286 2023 Notes (1) Level 2 330,000 339,847 330,000 340,052 2022 Term Loan (2) Level 2 146,250 146,250 150,000 150,000 _________________ (1) The fair value of the notes is determined based on indicated market values.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income tax | NOTE 10. INCOME TAX On December 22, 2017, the President signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (" TCJA") which, among other provisions, reduced the federal corporate tax rate to 21.0% effective January 1, 2018. Due to the Company’s August 31 st fiscal year end, this provision will result in a blended statutory U.S. tax rate of 25.7% for fiscal 2018 and a 21.0% statutory U.S. tax rate beginning September 1, 2018. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740 requires the change in tax law to be accounted for in the period of enactment. Due to complexities involved in accounting for the TCJA, the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118 provides a measurement period, which should not extend beyond one year from the date of enactment, to complete the accounting under ASC 740. The Company recognized additional income tax expense of $10.6 million during the three months ended February 28, 2018 for the effects of those provisions of the TCJA for which amounts are reasonably estimable, including (i) recognition of the one-time toll charge on certain undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries with associated foreign tax credits, in order to transition from a worldwide system with deferral to a territorial-style tax system, and (ii) the remeasurement of the Company’s deferred tax balances as of February 28, 2018 to the lower statutory rates. These provisions of the TCJA, as well as a 100% bonus depreciation for qualified assets acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017, resulted in a $52.3 million reduction to the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities. The impacts of the legislation on the Company’s tax expense and/or the Company’s deferred tax balances may differ from these estimates, possibly materially, and may be adjusted accordingly over the SAB 118 measurement period. The Company’s current analysis of the following provisions of the TCJA resulted in minimal or no impact on the Company’s financial statements, and as a result, the Company did not record any associated tax expense or benefit as of February 28, 2018: (i) the new tax on global intangible low-taxed income, (ii) the new tax on foreign-derived intangible income, (iii) the base erosion anti-abuse tax, (iv) deductibility limitations on performance-based compensation, (v) deductibility limitations on business interest under Section 163(j) and (vi) deductibility limitations on meal and entertainment related expenses. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of these provisions and adjust its financial statements if necessary as new information becomes available. The Company's effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018 was 15.0% and 19.6% , respectively, compared with 25.3% and 26.3% for the three and six months ended February 28, 2017 , respectively. The effective tax rate is determined by computing the estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, which are taken into account in the appropriate period. Several factors determine the Company's effective tax rate, including the mix and amount of global earnings, the impact of loss companies for which no tax benefit is available due to valuation allowances, audit related adjustments, and the impact of permanent tax adjustments. For the three and six months ended February 28, 2018 , the Company's effective tax rate was lower than the blended U.S. statutory income tax rate of 25.7% . The statutory rate for fiscal 2018 was revised during the current reporting period due to the TCJA discussed above. Items that impacted the effective tax rate included: i. the one-time toll charge on certain undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries with associated foreign tax credits as a result of the TCJA; ii. the remeasurement of the Company’s deferred tax balances to the applicable reduced statutory income tax rates as a result of the TCJA; iii. a permanent tax benefit related to a worthless stock deduction from the reorganization and exit of the steel trading business headquartered in the United Kingdom; iv. the proportion of the Company's global income from operations in jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates than the U.S., including Poland, which has a statutory income tax rate of 19% ; v. a permanent tax benefit recorded under ASU 2016-09 for stock awards that vested during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2018; and vi. a non-taxable gain on assets related to the Company's non-qualified Benefits Restoration Plan ("BRP"). For the three and six months ended February 28, 2017 , the Company's effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35%. Items that impacted the effective tax rate included: i. the proportion of the Company's global income from operations in jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates than the U.S., including Poland, which has a statutory income tax rate of 19% ; ii. a permanent tax benefit under Section 199 of the Internal Revenue Code related to domestic production activity; iii. a non-taxable gain on assets related to the Company's non-qualified BRP; and iv. losses from operations in certain jurisdictions in which the Company maintains a valuation allowance, thus providing no benefit for such losses. For the three months ended February 28, 2018 , the Company's income tax benefit from discontinued operations was immaterial. For the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company’s effective income tax rate from discontinued operations of 36.6% was greater than the blended U.S. statutory income tax rate of 25.7% primarily as a result of state taxes imposed on income earned by the Company’s steel trading operations headquartered in the U.S. For each of the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, the Company’s effective income tax rate from discontinued operations of 23.5% was less than the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35% primarily due to pre-tax income earned in foreign jurisdictions that benefit from group loss sharing provisions. Such losses, which carry a full valuation allowance, are utilized to absorb current period income earned in foreign jurisdictions; thus, there is no associated tax expense or benefit. The Company made net cash payments of $7.7 million and $11.8 million for income taxes during the six months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. As of February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017 , the reserve for unrecognized income tax benefits related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes was $9.3 million , exclusive of interest and penalties. The Company's policy classifies interest recognized on an underpayment of income taxes and any statutory penalties recognized on a tax position as income tax expense. For the three and six months ended February 28, 2018 , the Company recorded immaterial amounts of accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized income tax benefits. During the twelve months ending February 28 , 2019, it is reasonably possible that the statute of limitations pertaining to positions taken by the Company in prior year income tax returns may lapse or that income tax audits in various taxing jurisdictions could be finalized. As a result, the total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits may decrease by approximately $9.3 million , which would reduce the provision for income taxes by $9.3 million . The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and multiple foreign jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. In the normal course of business, CMC and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. The following is a summary of tax years subject to examination: U.S. Federal — 2012 and forward, with the exception of the R&D credit matter discussed below U.S. States — 2009 and forward Foreign — 2011 and forward During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, the Company completed an IRS exam for the years 2009 through 2011 and received confirmation from the United States Congress Joint Committee on Taxation that all matters were settled with the exception of R&D credits, which are still under review. In addition, the Company is under examination by certain state revenue authorities for the years 2009 through 2015. Management believes the Company's recorded income tax liabilities as of February 28, 2018 sufficiently reflect the anticipated outcome of these examinations. |

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company's stock-based compensation plans are described, and informational disclosures provided, in Note 15, Stock-Based Compensation Plans, to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2017 Form 10-K. In general, the restricted stock units granted during fiscal 2018 vest ratably over a period of three years. However, certain restricted stock units granted during fiscal 2018 cliff vest after a period of three years. Subject to the achievement of performance targets established by the Compensation Committee of CMC's Board of Directors, the performance stock units granted during fiscal 2018 will vest after a period of three years. During the six months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 , the Company granted the following awards under its stock-based compensation plans: 2018 2017 (in thousands, except per share data) Shares Granted Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Shares Granted Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Equity Method 1,201 $ 20.71 916 $ 16.04 Liability Method 323 N/A 915 N/A During the three and six months ended February 28, 2018 , the Company recorded expense of $1.4 million and $1.7 million for mark-to-market adjustments on liability awards, compared to expense of $0.8 million and $4.7 million recorded for the three and six months ended February 28, 2017 , which includes the impact of the modification of certain restricted stock and performance stock units that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. As of February 28, 2018 , the Company had 777 thousand equivalent shares accounted for under the liability method outstanding. The Company expects 741 thousand equivalent shares to vest. The following table summarizes total stock-based compensation expense, including fair value remeasurements, which is mainly included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of earnings: Three Months Ended February 28, Six Months Ended February 28, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Stock-based compensation expense $ 8,557 $ 7,911 $ 13,338 $ 16,156 |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and contingencies | NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal and Environmental Matters In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company becomes involved in litigation, administrative proceedings and governmental investigations, including environmental matters. See Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies, to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2017 Form 10-K. On April 28, 2016, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed by Ector County, Texas and the State of Texas by and through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") alleging violations of the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, the Texas Water Code, the Texas Clean Air Act, and TCEQ rules on spill prevention and control. The Plaintiffs amended their petition in February 2017 to include violations of TCEQ rules on recycling and storm water permits. The Plaintiffs further amended their petition in April 2017, broadening their allegations. The lawsuit, filed in the 201st Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas, alleged improper disposal of solid waste and unauthorized outdoor burning activity at the Company’s recycling facility located in Odessa, Texas. The lawsuit sought a penalty for each day of alleged violation under the Texas Health & Safety Code, the Texas Water Code, or the Texas Administrative Code. The parties agreed to a mediated settlement on December 1, 2017, which will be binding upon the entry of an Agreed Final Judgment, subject to the formal approval process of the State of Texas. Under the mediated settlement, the Company will pay $1.1 million , net of insurance recoveries. The Company denies any wrongdoing in connection with the alleged claims, and the settlement does not contain an admission of liability from the Company. The Company has received notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") or state agencies with similar responsibility that it is considered a potentially responsible party at several sites (none of which are owned by the Company) and may be obligated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") or similar state statute to conduct remedial investigations, feasibility studies, remediation and/or removal of alleged releases of hazardous substances or to reimburse the EPA for such activities. The Company is involved in litigation or administrative proceedings with regard to several of these sites in which the Company is contesting, or at the appropriate time may contest, its liability at the sites. In addition, the Company has received information requests with regard to other sites which may be under consideration by the EPA as potential CERCLA sites. Some of these environmental matters or other proceedings may result in fines, penalties or judgments being assessed against the Company. At both February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017 , the Company had accrued $0.7 million for estimated cleanup and remediation costs in connection with CERCLA sites. The estimation process is based on currently available information, which is in many cases preliminary and incomplete. As of both February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017 , total environmental liabilities, including with respect to CERCLA sites, were $4.3 million , of which $2.1 million was classified as other long-term liabilities. These amounts have not been discounted to their present values. Due to evolving remediation technology, changing regulations, possible third-party contributions, the inherent shortcomings of the estimation process and other factors, amounts accrued could vary significantly from amounts paid. Historically, the amounts the Company has ultimately paid for such remediation activities have not been material. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the potential impact of these contingencies and that the outcomes of the suits and proceedings described above, and other miscellaneous litigation and proceedings now pending, will not have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Company. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Business segments | NOTE 14. BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company's operating segments earn revenues and incur expenses for which discrete financial information is available. Operating results for the operating segments are regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker is identified as the Chief Executive Officer. Operating segments are aggregated for reporting purposes when the operating segments are identified as similar in accordance with the basic principles and aggregation criteria in the accounting standards. The Company's reporting segments are based primarily on product lines and secondarily on geographic area. The reporting segments have different lines of management responsibility as each business requires different marketing strategies and management expertise. The Company structures its business into the following four reporting segments: Americas Recycling, Americas Mills, Americas Fabrication, and International Mill. See Note 1, Nature of Operations, of the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2017 Form 10-K for more information about the reporting segments, including the types of products and services from which each reporting segment derives its net sales. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company substantially completed the exit of the International Marketing and Distribution segment. See Note 2, Changes in Business, for further information. Certain components of the International Marketing and Distribution segment which were wound down in prior periods, including the Company's steel trading operations based in the United Kingdom, did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations and are included in continuing operations for all periods presented. Such activities are included in the results of Corporate and Other, and are immaterial for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018 . Corporate and Other also contains earnings or losses on assets and liabilities related to the BRP assets and short-term investments as well as expenses of the Company's corporate headquarters and interest expense related to its long-term debt. The Company uses adjusted operating profit (loss) from continuing operations to compare and evaluate the financial performance of its segments. Adjusted operating profit (loss) is the sum of the Company's earnings from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes and discounts on sales of accounts receivable. Intersegment sales are generally priced at prevailing market prices. Certain corporate administrative expenses are allocated to the segments based upon the nature of the expense. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2017 Form 10-K. The following is a summary of certain financial information from continuing operations by reportable segment: Three Months Ended February 28, 2018 (in thousands) Americas Recycling Americas Mills Americas Fabrication International Mill Corporate and Other Eliminations Continuing Operations Net sales-unaffiliated customers $ 265,432 $ 262,703 $ 310,199 $ 211,484 $ 4,450 $ — $ 1,054,268 Intersegment sales 55,195 163,184 2,774 281 — (221,434 ) — Net sales 320,627 425,887 312,973 211,765 4,450 (221,434 ) 1,054,268 Adjusted operating profit (loss) from continuing operations 12,238 31,536 (27,117 ) 24,490 (22,361 ) 100 18,886 Six Months Ended February 28, 2018 (in thousands) Americas Recycling Americas Mills Americas Fabrication International Mill Corporate and Other Eliminations Continuing Operations Net sales-unaffiliated customers $ 539,769 $ 509,436 $ 640,751 $ 431,696 $ 9,149 $ — $ 2,130,801 Intersegment sales 100,199 329,969 5,001 546 — (435,715 ) — Net sales 639,968 839,405 645,752 432,242 9,149 (435,715 ) 2,130,801 Adjusted operating profit (loss) from continuing operations 22,230 72,300 (31,900 ) 47,927 (43,034 ) (1,472 ) 66,051 Total assets as of February 28, 2018* 298,470 1,032,112 671,142 511,140 695,856 (441,740 ) 2,766,980 Three Months Ended February 28, 2017 (in thousands) Americas Recycling Americas Mills Americas Fabrication International Mill Corporate and Other Eliminations Continuing Operations Net sales-unaffiliated customers $ 188,502 $ 220,607 $ 301,382 $ 134,472 $ 17,335 $ — $ 862,298 Intersegment sales 34,826 155,986 2,444 180 — (193,436 ) — Net sales 223,328 376,593 303,826 134,652 17,335 (193,436 ) 862,298 Adjusted operating profit (loss) from continuing operations 7,788 51,319 507 9,484 (25,112 ) (582 ) 43,404 Six Months Ended February 28, 2017 (in thousands) Americas Recycling Americas Mills Americas Fabrication International Mill Corporate and Other Eliminations Continuing Operations Net sales-unaffiliated customers $ 342,864 $ 423,938 $ 636,659 $ 269,004 $ 42,761 $ — $ 1,715,226 Intersegment sales 57,172 299,820 5,566 391 641 (363,590 ) — Net sales 400,036 723,758 642,225 269,395 43,402 (363,590 ) 1,715,226 Adjusted operating profit (loss) from continuing operations 2,734 88,268 7,218 19,546 (51,895 ) (795 ) 65,076 Total assets as of August 31, 2017* 240,371 933,022 683,609 464,428 687,984 (327,883 ) 2,681,531 _________________ * Excludes total assets from discontinued operations of $143.5 million at February 28, 2018 and $293.6 million at August 31, 2017 .

These notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2017 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The ASU better aligns accounting rules with a company's risk management activities; better reflects economic results of hedging in financial statements; and simplifies hedge accounting treatment. For public companies, this standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. The standard must be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption, and the effect of adoption should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements as well as determining the Company's planned adoption date. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017 and will be effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2018, at which point the Company plans to adopt the standard. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a retrospective approach, which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and has modified the standard thereafter. The standard requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of twelve months or longer. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2018 and will be effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2019, at which point the Company plans to adopt the standard. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with elective reliefs, which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. The Company has a project plan in place to address the effects of ASU 2016-02 and any modifications thereafter, including evaluation of the impact of this guidance on internal processes, internal controls, and its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and has modified the standard thereafter. Under the standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and will be effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2018, at which point the Company plans to adopt the standard. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company currently expects to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective method. The Company believes there will not be a material impact on its statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows in its Americas Mills, Americas Recycling or International Mill segments. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, for certain contracts within the Americas Fabrication segment in which revenue is currently recognized over time on a percentage of completion basis using a cost-to-cost measure of progress, the measure of progress will change to an output measure to align with the pattern of transfer of control on these contracts. In addition, the standard includes expanded disclosure requirements, which the Company continues to analyze. As part of the overall evaluation of the standard, the Company is also identifying and preparing to implement changes to its accounting policies, practices, and internal controls over financial reporting to support the standard both in the transition period as well as on an on-going basis. |
Fair value measurement | The Company has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Levels within the hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level 1) which are observable, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
Uncertain income tax positions | The Company's policy classifies interest recognized on an underpayment of income taxes and any statutory penalties recognized on a tax position as income tax expense. |
