Consolidated financial statements | Consolidated financial statements The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 , the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial statements are included. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any discussed in the notes below. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in our annual consolidated financial statements and notes. The consolidated financial statements and notes appearing in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “ 2018 Form 10-K”). Amounts within cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 have been modified to conform to the current year presentation. Loss (gain) on sales of businesses and customer lists is now presented separately. In the previous year, this amount was included within other non-cash items, net. In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash . This standard requires the statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. This standard was effective for us on January 1, 2018 and was required to be applied retrospectively. During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, we identified a misstatement in our statement of cash flows presentation under this standard. We concluded that the cash and cash equivalents included in funds held for customers should be included with cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statements of cash flows, in accordance with ASU No. 2016-18. Additionally, we determined that gross redemptions and purchases of marketable debt securities included in funds held for customers should be presented as cash flows from investing activities in the statements of cash flows. This misstatement affected our consolidated statements of cash flows as presented in our 2018 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We assessed the materiality of this misstatement on prior periods' financial statements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality , codified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 250, Presentation of Financial Statements . We concluded that the misstatement was not material to any prior interim period and therefore, amendments of previously filed reports are not required. In accordance with ASC 250, we have corrected the misstatement for all prior periods presented by revising the consolidated financial statements appearing herein. Periods not presented herein will be revised, as applicable, in future filings. The revisions had no impact on total assets, total liabilities, shareholders' equity, net income or net cash provided by operating activities. The impact of the revisions on our consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was as follows: (in thousands) Previously reported Adjustment Revised Purchases of customer funds marketable securities $ — $ (3,943 ) $ (3,943 ) Proceeds from customer funds marketable securities — 3,943 3,943 Net cash used by investing activities (117,563 ) — (117,563 ) Net change in customer funds obligations — 9,287 9,287 Net cash used by financing activities (18,269 ) 9,287 (8,982 ) Effect of exchange rate change on cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents (1,750 ) (2,157 ) (3,907 ) Net change in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents 9,354 7,130 16,484 Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, beginning of year 59,240 69,579 128,819 Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, end of period $ 68,594 $ 76,709 $ 145,303 |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
New accounting pronouncements | New accounting pronouncements ASU No. 2016-02 – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leasing . This standard is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for virtually all leases and by requiring the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued two amendments to this standard: ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases , which amended narrow aspects of the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, which provided an optional transition method under which comparative periods presented in financial statements in the period of adoption would not be restated. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Codification Improvements . This standard addressed areas identified as companies prepared to implement ASU No. 2016-02. We adopted all of these standards on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach and the optional transition method under ASU No. 2018-11. As such, prior periods have not been restated to reflect the new guidance. We elected the practical expedient package outlined in ASU No. 2016-02 under which we did not have to reassess whether an arrangement contains a lease, we carried forward our previous classification of leases as either operating or capital leases, and we did not reassess previously recorded initial direct costs. Additionally, we made the following policy elections: • we excluded leases with original terms of 12 months or less from lease assets and lease liabilities; • we separated nonlease components, such as common area maintenance charges and utilities, from the associated lease component for real estate leases, based on their estimated fair values; and • we used the accounting lease term when determining the incremental borrowing rate for leases with renewal options. Adoption of the standards had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, but did not have a significant impact on our consolidated statement of comprehensive income or our consolidated statement of cash flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of operating lease assets of $50,803 , current operating lease liabilities of $13,611 and non-current operating lease liabilities of $37,440 as of January 1, 2019. Our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by considering whether a contract explicitly or implicitly identifies assets deployed in the arrangement and whether we have obtained substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the underlying assets and direct how and for what purpose the assets are used during the term of the contract. Operating leases are included in operating lease assets, accrued liabilities and operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our lease agreements typically do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Certain of our lease agreements include options to extend or terminate the lease. The lease term takes into account these options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is included in total cost of revenue and in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and interest on finance leases is included in interest expense on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Operating lease expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease term. Information regarding our leases can be found in Note 13. ASU No. 2016-13 – In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . This standard introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope, including trade and loans receivable and available-for-sale debt securities. Subsequently, the FASB issued several amendments to this standard. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASU No. 2016-13. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. This standard provides additional guidance on the measurement and presentation of credit losses. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief , which provides transition guidance to entities that elect the fair value option for eligible instruments. All of these standards are effective for us on January 1, 2020 and require adoption using a modified retrospective approach. We do not expect the application of these standards to have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position. ASU No. 2018-13 – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements . This standard removes, modifies and adds certain disclosures related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. During 2018, we adopted the provisions of the standard that remove and modify disclosure requirements. The additional disclosures required under the guidance are effective for us on January 1, 2020 and are required to be applied prospectively to fair value measurements completed on or after the effective date. ASU No. 2018-15 – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract . This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the new standard. The guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2020 and may be adopted retrospectively or prospectively to eligible costs incurred on or after the date the guidance is first applied. This new guidance will impact our results of operations and financial position as we currently expense these implementation costs as incurred. As we have not historically tracked these costs, we are not able to quantify the expected impact on our consolidated financial statements. We plan to adopt the standard prospectively. |

We are actively marketing this asset, and we expect the selling price will equal or exceed its current carrying value. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018 , we sold the assets of a provider of printed and promotional products, as well as certain small business customer lists. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 , we also sold the assets of a small business distributor, as well as additional small business customer lists. We determined that these assets would be better positioned for long-term growth if they were managed by independent distributors. Subsequent to the sales, the assets are owned by independent distributors that are part of our Safeguard ® distributor network. As such, our revenue was not impacted by these sales and the impact to our costs was not significant.

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions We periodically complete business combinations that align with our business strategy. The assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values, and the results of operations of each acquired business are included in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income from their acquisition dates. Transaction costs related to acquisitions are expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Transaction costs were not significant to our consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . We did not complete any acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2019 . Payments for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $1,566 and related to holdback payments for prior year acquisitions. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 , we completed the following acquisitions within our Small Business Services segment: • In June 2018, we acquired selected assets of Velocity Servers, Inc., doing business as ColoCrossing, a data center solutions, cloud hosting and infrastructure colocation provider of dedicated hosing services. • In March 2018, we acquired all of the equity of Logomix Inc., a self-service marketing and branding platform that helps small businesses create logos and custom marketing products. • We acquired the operations of 2 small business distributors. Payments for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 , included payments of $73,540 for these acquisitions and $16,665 for holdback payments for prior year acquisitions. Further information regarding our 2018 acquisitions can be found under the caption “Note 6: Acquisitions” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the 2018 Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2019 , purchase accounting for the 2018 acquisitions of REMITCO LLC and My Corporation Business Services, Inc. was not finalized. We expect to finalize purchase accounting in the third quarter of 2019 when the valuation of certain miscellaneous assets and liabilities is finalized for REMITCO LLC and the valuation of the acquired intangible assets is finalized for My Corporation Business Services, Inc. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , we recorded measurement-period adjustments for 2018 acquisitions that decreased goodwill $1,767 , with the offset to various assets and liabilities, including a $1,000 increase in customer list intangible assets. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair value measurements | Fair value measurements Non-recurring asset impairment analysis – During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we recorded a pre-tax asset impairment charge of $2,149 related to a Small Business Services customer list intangible asset. Based on changes in the customer base of an acquired small business distributor, we determined that the customer list asset was fully impaired (level 3 fair value measurement) as of March 31, 2018. Recurring fair value measurements – Funds held for customers included cash equivalents and available-for-sale debt securities (Note 3). The cash equivalents consisted of a money market fund investment that is traded in an active market. Because of the short-term nature of the underlying investments, the cost of this investment approximates its fair value. Available-for-sale debt securities consisted of a mutual fund investment that invests in Canadian and provincial government securities and investments in Canadian guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) with maturities of 1 year or less. The mutual fund is not traded in an active market and its fair value is determined by obtaining quoted prices in active markets for the underlying securities held by the fund. The fair value of the GICs approximated cost due to their relatively short duration. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. The cost of securities sold is determined using the average cost method. Realized gains and losses are included in revenue on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and were not significant for the quarters or six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . The fair value of accrued contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period. Increases or decreases in projected revenue or operating income, as appropriate, and the related probabilities of achieving the forecasted results, may result in a higher or lower fair value measurement. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in the timing, amount of, or likelihood of contingent payments are included in SG&A expense on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Changes in fair value resulting from accretion for the passage of time are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Changes in accrued contingent consideration during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows: (in thousands) Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Balance, December 31, 2018 $ 2,396 Change in fair value 117 Payments (1,284 ) Balance, June 30, 2019 $ 1,229 Information regarding the fair values of our financial instruments was as follows: Fair value measurements using June 30, 2019 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs (in thousands) Carrying value Fair value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Measured at fair value through net income: Accrued contingent consideration $ (1,229 ) $ (1,229 ) $ — $ — $ (1,229 ) Measured at fair value through comprehensive income: Cash equivalents (funds held for customers) 14,000 14,000 14,000 — — Available-for-sale debt securities (funds held for customers) 16,383 16,383 — 16,383 — Amortized cost: Cash 66,732 66,732 66,732 — — Cash (funds held for customers) 63,326 63,326 63,326 — — Loans and notes receivable from Safeguard distributors 80,971 64,108 — — 64,108 Long-term debt 951,000 951,000 — 951,000 — Fair value measurements using December 31, 2018 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs (in thousands) Carrying value Fair value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Measured at fair value through net income: Accrued contingent consideration $ (2,396 ) $ (2,396 ) $ — $ — $ (2,396 ) Measured at fair value through comprehensive income: Cash equivalents (funds held for customers) 16,000 16,000 16,000 — — Available-for-sale debt securities (funds held for customers) 15,463 15,463 — 15,463 — Amortized cost: Cash 59,740 59,740 59,740 — — Cash (funds held for customers) 69,519 69,519 69,519 — — Loans and notes receivable from Safeguard distributors 81,560 60,795 — — 60,795 Long-term debt (1) 910,000 910,000 — 910,000 — (1) Amounts exclude capital lease obligations. |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Restructuring and integration expense | Restructuring and integration expense Restructuring and integration expense consists of costs related to the integration of acquired businesses into our systems and processes. It also includes costs related to the consolidation and migration of certain applications and processes, including our human resources management system and certain of our sales systems. These costs primarily consist of information technology consulting and project management services, internal labor, training and travel. In addition, we recorded employee severance costs related to these initiatives, as well as our ongoing cost reduction initiatives, primarily within our sales, marketing and fulfillment functions. Our restructuring and integration activities have increased in 2019, as we are currently pursuing several initiatives designed to focus our business behind our growth strategies and to increase our efficiency. None of our initiatives are individually material to our consolidated financial statements. Restructuring and integration expense for each period consisted of the following components: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended (in thousands, except number of employees) 2019 2018 2019 2018 Severance accruals $ 2,913 $ 3,804 $ 5,146 $ 4,648 Severance reversals (216 ) (95 ) (385 ) (230 ) Net accruals 2,697 3,709 4,761 4,418 Other costs 14,800 2,662 19,019 4,275 Restructuring and integration expense $ 17,497 $ 6,371 $ 23,780 $ 8,693 Number of employees included in severance accruals 40 80 90 105 Restructuring and integration expense is reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended (in thousands) 2019 2018 2019 2018 Total cost of revenue $ 155 $ 736 $ 946 $ 913 Operating expenses 17,342 5,635 22,834 7,780 Restructuring and integration expense $ 17,497 $ 6,371 $ 23,780 $ 8,693 Restructuring accruals of $4,285 as of June 30, 2019 are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as accrued liabilities. Accruals of $3,461 as of December 31, 2018 are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as accrued liabilities of $3,320 and other non-current liabilities of $141 . The majority of the related employee reductions are expected to be completed by the end of 2019, and we expect most of the related severance payments to be paid by mid-2020.

Chief Executive Officer transition costs [Abstract] | |
Chief Executive Officer transition costs | Chief Executive Officer transition costs In April 2018, we announced the retirement of Lee Schram, our former Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Mr. Schram remained employed under the terms of a transition agreement through March 1, 2019. Under the terms of this agreement, we provided certain benefits to Mr. Schram, including a transition bonus in the amount of $2,000 that was paid in March 2019, accelerated vesting of certain restricted stock unit awards, and continued vesting and settlement of a pro-rata portion of outstanding performance share awards to the extent such awards were earned based on the attainment of performance goals. The modifications to Mr. Schram's share-based payment awards resulted in expense of $2,088 , which was largely recognized in 2018. In conjunction with the CEO transition, we offered retention agreements to certain members of our management team under which each employee will be entitled to receive a cash bonus equal to his or her annual base salary or up to 1.5 times his or her annual base salary if he or she remains employed during the retention period, generally from July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019, and complies with certain covenants. The retention bonus will be paid to an employee if his or her employment is terminated without cause before the end of the retention period. In addition to these expenses, we incurred certain other costs related to the CEO transition process, including executive search, legal, travel and board of directors fees in 2018. During 2019, we incurred consulting fees related to the evaluation of our strategic plan and we expensed the majority of the current CEO's signing bonus in 2019. CEO transition costs are included in SG&A expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and were $1,906 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 , $7,394 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $1,530 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018. Accruals for CEO transition costs were $4,324 as of June 30, 2019 and were included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Accruals for CEO transition costs as of December 31, 2018 were $1,972 within accrued liabilities and $1,808 within other non-current liabilities. |

There are currently no limitations on the amount of dividends and share repurchases under the terms of our credit agreement. However, if our leverage ratio, defined as total debt less unrestricted cash to EBITDA, should exceed 2.75 to 1, there would be an annual limitation on the amount of dividends and share repurchases. As of December 31, 2018, we had a revolving credit facility in the amount of $950,000 . In January 2019, we increased the credit facility by $200,000 , bringing the total availability to $1,150,000 , subject to increase under the credit agreement to an aggregate amount not exceeding $1,425,000 . The credit facility matures in March 2023 . Our quarterly commitment fee ranges from 0.175% to 0.35% , based on our leverage ratio. Amounts drawn under the credit facility had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.76% as of June 30, 2019 and 3.79% as of December 31, 2018 . Borrowings under the credit agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our personal and intangible property. The credit agreement governing our credit facility contains customary covenants regarding limits on levels of subsidiary indebtedness and capital expenditures, liens, investments, acquisitions, certain mergers, certain asset sales outside the ordinary course of business, and change in control as defined in the agreement. The agreement also requires us to maintain certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio of 3.5 and a minimum ratio of consolidated earnings before interest and taxes to consolidated interest expense, as defined in the credit agreement, of 3.0 . Daily average amounts outstanding under our credit facility were as follows: (in thousands) Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Revolving credit facility: Daily average amount outstanding $ 935,378 $ 731,110 Weighted-average interest rate 3.77 % 3.24 % Term loan facility: (1) Daily average amount outstanding $ — $ 63,638 Weighted-average interest rate — 2.97 % (1) During 2018, we had borrowings outstanding under a variable rate term loan facility.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Leases We have entered into operating leases for the majority of our facilities. These real estate leases have remaining terms of up to 10.3 years, with a weighted-average remaining term of 5.6 years as of June 30, 2019 . We utilize leases for these facilities to limit our exposure to risks related to ownership, such as fluctuations in real estate prices, and to maintain flexibility in our real estate utilization. We have also entered into operating leases for certain equipment, primarily production printers and data center equipment. Certain of our leases include options to extend the lease term. The impact of renewal periods was not significant to the amounts recorded for operating lease assets and liabilities. We have entered into finance leases for certain information technology hardware. The net book value of the related lease assets was $1,338 as of June 30, 2019 and the related lease liabilities were $1,761 . The lease obligations are due through December 2022 and do not have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income or our consolidated statements of cash flows. Operating lease expense was $4,752 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and $8,782 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 .

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Other commitments and contingencies | Other commitments and contingencies Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate general indemnification language. These indemnification provisions generally encompass third-party claims arising from our products and services, including, without limitation, service failures, breach of security, intellectual property rights, governmental regulations and/or employment-related matters. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by our breach of the terms of the contract. In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks, including, for example, 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 matters related to periods prior to disposition. We do not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, we do not believe that any liability under these indemnities would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations or annual cash flows. We have recorded liabilities for known indemnifications related to environmental matters. Environmental matters – We are currently involved in environmental compliance, investigation and remediation activities at some of our former sites, primarily printing facilities of our Financial Services and Small Business Services segments that have been sold. Remediation costs are accrued on an undiscounted basis when the obligations are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Remediation or testing costs that result directly from the sale of an asset and that we would not have otherwise incurred are considered direct costs of the sale of the asset. As such, they are included in our measurement of the carrying value of the asset sold. Accruals for environmental matters were $2,379 as of June 30, 2019 and $2,755 as of December 31, 2018 . These accruals are included in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Accrued costs consist of direct costs of the remediation activities, primarily fees that will be paid to outside engineering and consulting firms. Although recorded accruals include our best estimates, our total costs cannot be predicted with certainty due to various factors, such as the extent of corrective action that may be required, evolving environmental laws and regulations and advances in environmental technology. Where the available information is sufficient to estimate the amount of the liability, that estimate is used. Where the information is only sufficient to establish a range of probable liability and no point within the range is more likely than any other, the lower end of the range is recorded. We do not believe that the range of possible outcomes could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Environmental expense was not significant for the quarters or six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . We maintain an insurance policy that covers up to $10,000 of third-party pollution claims through 2032 at certain owned, leased and divested sites. We also maintain a policy that covers up to $15,000 of third-party pollution claims through April 2022 at certain other sites. These policies cover liability for claims of bodily injury or property damage arising from pollution events at the covered facilities, as well as remediation coverage should we be required by a governing authority to perform remediation activities at the covered sites. No accruals have been recorded in our consolidated financial statements for any of the events contemplated in these insurance policies. We do not anticipate significant net cash outlays for environmental matters during 2019. Self-insurance – We are self-insured for certain costs, primarily workers' compensation claims and medical and dental benefits for active employees and those employees on long-term disability. The liabilities associated with these items represent our best estimate of the ultimate obligations for reported claims plus those incurred, but not reported, and totaled $6,968 as of June 30, 2019 and $6,627 as of December 31, 2018 . These accruals are included in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Our workers' compensation liability is recorded at present value. The difference between the discounted and undiscounted liability was not significant as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018 . Our self-insurance liabilities are estimated, in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors and other actuarial assumptions. The estimated accruals for these liabilities could be significantly affected if future events and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends. Litigation – Recorded liabilities for legal matters, as well as related charges recorded in each period, were not material to our financial position, results of operations or liquidity during the quarters or six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , and we do not believe that any of the currently identified claims or litigation will materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, upon resolution. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, it may cause a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity in the period in which the ruling occurs or in future periods. |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
New accounting pronouncements | New accounting pronouncements ASU No. 2016-02 – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leasing . This standard is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for virtually all leases and by requiring the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued two amendments to this standard: ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases , which amended narrow aspects of the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, which provided an optional transition method under which comparative periods presented in financial statements in the period of adoption would not be restated. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Codification Improvements . This standard addressed areas identified as companies prepared to implement ASU No. 2016-02. We adopted all of these standards on January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach and the optional transition method under ASU No. 2018-11. As such, prior periods have not been restated to reflect the new guidance. We elected the practical expedient package outlined in ASU No. 2016-02 under which we did not have to reassess whether an arrangement contains a lease, we carried forward our previous classification of leases as either operating or capital leases, and we did not reassess previously recorded initial direct costs. Additionally, we made the following policy elections: • we excluded leases with original terms of 12 months or less from lease assets and lease liabilities; • we separated nonlease components, such as common area maintenance charges and utilities, from the associated lease component for real estate leases, based on their estimated fair values; and • we used the accounting lease term when determining the incremental borrowing rate for leases with renewal options. Adoption of the standards had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet, but did not have a significant impact on our consolidated statement of comprehensive income or our consolidated statement of cash flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of operating lease assets of $50,803 , current operating lease liabilities of $13,611 and non-current operating lease liabilities of $37,440 as of January 1, 2019. Our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by considering whether a contract explicitly or implicitly identifies assets deployed in the arrangement and whether we have obtained substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the underlying assets and direct how and for what purpose the assets are used during the term of the contract. Operating leases are included in operating lease assets, accrued liabilities and operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our lease agreements typically do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Certain of our lease agreements include options to extend or terminate the lease. The lease term takes into account these options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is included in total cost of revenue and in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and interest on finance leases is included in interest expense on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Operating lease expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease term. Information regarding our leases can be found in Note 13. |
