Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of Harsco Corporation (the "Company"), all entities in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and variable interest entities required to be consolidated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated among consolidated entities. The Company's management has evaluated all activity of the Company and concluded that subsequent events are properly reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes as required by U.S. GAAP. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with current year classifications. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments that are highly liquid in nature and have an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted Cash The Company had restricted cash of $4.2 million and $3.2 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the restrictions are primarily related to collateral provided for certain guarantees of the Company’s performance. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value which represents the face value of the receivable less an allowance for expected credit losses. The allowance for expected credit losses is maintained for expected lifetime losses resulting from the inability or unwillingness of customers to make required payments. The Company’s expected credit loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. When required, the Company adjusts the loss-rate methodology to account for current conditions and reasonable and supportable expectations of future economic and market conditions. The Company generally assesses future economic conditions for a period which corresponds with the contractual life of its accounts receivable. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. Inventories Inventories are accounted for using the average cost, first-in, first-out ("FIFO"), or last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. Inventory accounted for under the average cost and FIFO methods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory accounted for under the LIFO method is stated at the lower of cost or market. See Note 5, Inventories, for additional information. Depreciation Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using, principally, the straight-line method. When property, plant and equipment is retired from service, the cost of the retirement is charged to the allowance for depreciation to the extent of the accumulated depreciation and the balance is charged to income. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are not depreciated while they are classified as held-for-sale. Leases The Company leases certain property and equipment under noncancelable lease agreements. The Company determines if a contract or arrangement contains a lease at inception. All leases are evaluated and classified as either an operating or finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met: (i) ownership of the underlying asset transfers to the Company by the end of the lease term; (ii) the lease contains an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably expected to exercise; (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; (iv) the present value of the sum of lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the Company equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; or (v) the underlying asset is of a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease that does not meet any of the criteria to be classified as a finance lease is classified as an operating lease. Operating leases are included as Right-of-use assets, net, Current portion of operating lease liabilities, and Operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate for use in determining the present value of future payments, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate. This incremental borrowing rate reflects the creditworthiness of the Company for a lending period commensurate to the term of the lease and the standard lending practices related to such loans in the respective jurisdiction where the underlying assets are located. ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including rent abatement periods and rent holidays. Certain of the Company's leases are subject to annual changes in an index or are subject to adjustments for which the amounts are not readily determinable at lease inception. While lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes to these costs, changes are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred. Finance leases are included as Property, plant and equipment, net; Current maturities of long-term debt and Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease costs are split between depreciation expense related to the asset and interest expense on the lease liability, using the effective rate charged by the lessor. The Company has lease agreements with both lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to account for as a single lease component. Additionally, the Company has elected not to record short-term leases, those with expected terms of twelve months or less, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain lease agreements include fixed escalations, while others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. See Note 8, Debt and Credit Agreements, and Note 9, Leases, for additional information on leases. Business Combinations and Goodwill The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control is obtained, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, be recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The determination of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of cash flow projections, revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, discount rates and useful lives. Such estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, and, when appropriate, include assistance from independent third-party valuation firms. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with corresponding offsets to goodwill. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist or if a decision is made to dispose of a business. Goodwill is allocated among and evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment for which discrete financial information is available. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include declining cash flows or operating losses at the reporting unit level, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel or a more likely than not expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of, among others. In applying the goodwill impairment test, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative test or a quantitative test . Under the qualitative test, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting unit and other entity and reporting unit specific events. If after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines it is “more-likely-than-not” that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company would perform a quantitative test. The quantitative approach of testing for goodwill impairment involves comparing the current fair value of each reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model (“DCF model”) to estimate the current fair value of reporting units, as management believes forecasted operating cash flows are the best indicator of current fair value. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the preparation of DCF models including future revenues and operating margin growth, the weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”), tax rates, capital spending, pension funding, the impact of business initiatives and working capital projections. These assumptions and estimates may vary significantly among reporting units. DCF models are based on approved long-range plans for the early years and historical relationships and projections for later years. WACC rates are derived from internal and external factors including, but not limited to, the average market price of the Company's stock, shares outstanding, book value of the Company's debt, the long-term risk-free interest rate, and both market and size-specific risk premiums. Due to the many variables noted above and the relative size of the Company's goodwill, differences in assumptions may have a material impact on the results of the Company's annual goodwill impairment testing. If the net book value of a reporting unit were to exceed the Company's determination of the current fair value, then an impairment charge would be recognized as the difference between the fair value and the carrying value. See Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information. Long-Lived Assets Impairments (Other than Goodwill) Long-lived assets or asset groups are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets or asset groups are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate the book value of an asset or asset group may be impaired. The Company's policy is to determine if an impairment loss exists when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds its fair value, normally as determined in either open market transactions or through the use of a DCF model. Long-lived assets or asset groups to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. See Note 18, Other (Income) Expenses, Net for additional information. Deferred Financing Costs The Company has incurred debt issuance costs which are recognized as a reduction of Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Debt issuance costs are amortized and recognized as interest expense over the contractual term of the related indebtedness or shorter period if appropriate based upon contractual terms. Whenever indebtedness is modified from its original terms, an evaluation is made whether an accounting modification or extinguishment has occurred in order to determine the accounting treatment for debt issuance costs related to the debt modification. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenues to depict the transfer of promised services and products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services or products. Service revenues include the Harsco Clean Earth Segment and the service components of the Harsco Environmental Segment. Product revenues include portions of the Harsco Environmental Segment. Harsco Environmental - This Segment provides on-site services, under long-term contracts, for material logistics; product quality improvement and resource recovery from iron, steel and metals manufacturing; manufactures and sells industrial abrasives and roofing granule products; and manufactures aluminum dross and scrap processing systems. • Service revenues are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives the benefits provided by the Company's performance. The Company utilizes an output method based on work performed (liquid steel tons processed, weight of material handled, etc.) to measure progress, which is deemed to best depict the transfer of value to the customer and revenue earned by the Company. Transaction prices are based on contractual terms, which may include both fixed and variable portions. The fixed portion is recognized as earned (normally monthly) over the contractual period. The variable portion is recognized as services are performed and differs based on the volume of services performed. Given the long-term nature of these arrangements, most contracts permit periodic adjustment of either the variable or both the fixed and variable portions based on the changes in macroeconomic indicators, including changes in commodity prices. Transaction prices, when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, are allocated to performance obligations utilizing an expected cost plus a margin approach. Amounts are typically billed and payable on a monthly basis as services are performed. • Product revenues are recognized at the point when control transfers to the customer. Control generally transfers at the point of shipment for domestic orders and in accordance with the international commercial terms included in contracts for export sales. Transaction prices are based on contractual terms, which are generally fixed and when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, allocated to performance obligations utilizing an adjusted market assessment approach. Amounts are billed and payable upon completion of each transaction. • Product revenues in the aluminum dross and scrap process systems business are generally recognized over time as control is transferred to the customer. Control transfers over time because aluminum dross and scrap systems are customized, have no alternate use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment. The Company utilizes an input method based on costs incurred ("cost-to-cost method") to measure progress, which is deemed to best depict the transfer of value to the customer and revenue earned by the Company. Transaction prices are based on contractual terms, which are generally fixed, and when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, allocated to performance obligations utilizing an adjusted market assessment approach. The Company may receive periodic payments associated with key milestones with any remaining consideration billed and payable upon completion of the transaction. Harsco Clean Earth - This Segment provides specialty waste processing and beneficial reuse solutions for hazardous wastes, and soil and dredged materials. • Revenues are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives the benefits provided by the Company's performance. The Company utilizes an output method based on the amount of materials received for processing to measure progress, which is deemed to best depict the transfer of value to the customer and revenue earned by the Company. Transaction prices are based on contractual terms which are principally variable based on volume and recognized as services are performed. Transaction prices, when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, are allocated to performance obligations utilizing an expected cost plus a margin approach. Amounts are typically billed and payable on a monthly basis. Harsco Rail - This business sells railway track maintenance equipment, after-market parts, Protran/safety equipment and provides railway track maintenance services. • For standard railway track maintenance equipment sales, revenue is recognized at the point when control transfers to the customer. Control generally transfers at the point of shipment for domestic orders and in accordance with the international commercial terms included in contracts for export sales. In certain railway track maintenance equipment sales, revenue is recognized over time because such equipment is highly customized, has no alternate use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment. The former Harsco Rail Segment uses the cost-to-cost method to measure progress because it is the measure that best depicts the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs as the former Harsco Rail Segment incurs costs under the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion which includes both actual costs already incurred and the estimated costs to complete. Accounting for contracts with customers using the cost-to-cost method requires significant judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenues (including estimates of variable consideration, if applicable, as well as estimating any liquidating damages or penalties related to performance), estimating contract costs (including estimating engineering costs to design the machine and the material, labor and overhead manufacturing costs to build the machine); making assumptions for schedule and technical items; properly executing the engineering and design phases consistent with customer expectations; the availability and costs of labor and material resources; productivity; and evaluating whether a significant financing component is present. Due to the number of years it may take to complete certain contracts and the scope and nature of the work required to be performed on those contracts, estimating total revenues and costs at completion is inherently complicated and subject to many variables. Transaction prices are based on contracted terms, which are generally fixed, and when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, allocated to performance obligations utilizing either the adjusted market assessment or expected cost plus a margin approach. For certain transactions, the Company receives periodic payments associated with key milestones. In limited instances, those payments are intended to provide financing with such transactions being treated as including a significant financing component. Any remaining consideration is billed and payable upon completion of the transaction. Railway track maintenance equipment revenue of approximately $102 million was recognized using the cost-to-cost method in 2021, the net profit or loss of which is included in Income (loss) from discontinued businesses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. • For after-market parts sales and Protran/safety equipment, revenue is recognized at the point when control transfers to the customer. Control generally transfers to the customer at the point of shipment for domestic orders and in accordance with the international commercial terms included in contracts for export sales. Transaction prices are based on contracted terms, which are generally fixed, and when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, allocated to performance obligations utilizing an adjusted market assessment approach. Amounts are billed and payable upon completion of each contract. • For railway track maintenance services, revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives the benefits provided by the Company's performance. The Company utilizes an appropriate output method based on work performed (feet, miles, shifts worked, etc.) to measure progress, which is deemed to best depict the transfer of value to the customer and revenue earned by the Company. Transaction prices are based on contracted terms, which are generally variable. The variable portion is recognized as services are performed and differs based on the value of services. Given the long-term nature of these arrangements, most contracts permit periodic adjustment based on the changes in macroeconomic indicators. Transaction prices, when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, are allocated to performance obligations utilizing an expected cost plus a margin approach. Amounts are typically billed and payable on a monthly basis as services are performed. The Company has elected to utilize the following practical expedients on an ongoing basis: • The Company has not adjusted the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers the promised good or services to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service would be one year or less; and • The Company has elected to exclude disclosures related to unsatisfied performance obligations where the related contract has a duration of one year or less; or where the consideration is entirely variable. Accordingly, the Company's disclosure related to unsatisfied performance obligations is limited to the fixed portion of fees related to metals services in the Harsco Environmental Segment. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Additionally, in certain contracts, the Company facilitates shipping and handling activities after control has transferred to the customer. The Company has elected to record all shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill a contract. In situations where the shipping and handling costs have not been incurred at the time revenue is recognized, the respective shipping and handling costs are accrued. Income Taxes 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 the 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 consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes that these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial results. If the Company determines that it will not be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future, a valuation allowance is recorded. If sufficient positive evidence arises in the future indicating that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets meet the more likely than not standard for realization, the valuation allowance would be reduced accordingly in the period that such a conclusion is reached. The Company prepares and files tax returns based on interpretation of tax laws and regulations and records its provision for income taxes based on these interpretations. Uncertainties may exist in estimating the Company's tax provisions and in filing tax returns in the many jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and as a result these interpretations may give rise to an uncertain tax position. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on its technical merits. Each subsequent period the Company determines if existing or new uncertain tax positions meet a more likely than not recognition threshold and adjusts accordingly. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within Income tax expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The significant assumptions and estimates described in the preceding paragraphs are important contributors to the effective tax rate each year. See Note 11, Income Taxes, for additional information. Accrued Insurance and Loss Reserves The Company retains a significant portion of the risk for certain U.S. workers' compensation, U.K. employers' liability, automobile, general and product liability losses. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded insurance expense from continuing operations related to these lines of coverage of $25.6 million, $21.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively. Reserves have been recorded that reflect the undiscounted estimated liabilities including claims incurred but not reported. When a recognized liability is covered by third-party insurance, the Company records an insurance claim receivable to reflect the covered liability. Changes in the estimates of the reserves are included in net income(loss) in the period determined. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded insurance reserve adjustments that decreased pre-tax insurance expense from continuing operations for self-insured programs by $0.2 million, $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has recorded liabilities of $28.3 million and $27.3 million, respectively, related to both asserted as well as unasserted insurance claims. Included in the balances at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $4.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of recognized liabilities covered by insurance carriers. Amounts estimated to be paid within one year have been included in Other current liabilities, with the remainder included in Other liabilities, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements of the Company's subsidiaries outside the U.S., except for those subsidiaries located in highly inflationary economies and those entities for which the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account, a separate component of AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and expense items are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Operating income from continuing operations. For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, and those entities for which the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and balance sheet translation adjustments are included in Operating income from continuing operations. Financial Instruments and Hedging The Company has operations throughout the world that are exposed to fluctuations in related foreign currencies in the normal course of business. The Company seeks to reduce exposure to foreign currency fluctuations through the use of forward exchange contracts. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and it is the Company's policy to prohibit the use of derivatives for speculative purposes. The Company has a Foreign Currency Risk Management Committee that meets periodically to monitor foreign currency risks. The Company executes foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge transactions for firm purchase commitments, to hedge variable cash flows of forecasted transactions and for export sales denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts are generally for 90 days or less; however, where appropriate, longer-term contracts may be utilized. For those contracts that are designated as qualified cash flow hedges, gains or losses are recorded in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses interest rate swaps in conjunction with certain debt issuances in order to secure a fixed interest rate. The interest rate swaps are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with changes in value attributed to the effect of the swaps’ interest spread and changes in the credit worthiness of the counter-parties recorded in AOCI. Amounts recorded in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are reclassified into income in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects income. The cash flows from these contracts are classified consistent with the cash flows from the transaction being hedged (e.g., the cash flows related to contracts to hedge the purchase of fixed assets are included in cash flows from investing activities, etc.). The Company also enters into certain forward exchange contracts that are not designated as hedges. Gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in operations based on changes in fair market value. For fair value hedges of a firm commitment, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged firm commitment are recognized currently in operations. See Note 15, Financial Instruments, for additional information. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, while diluted earnings per share reflect the dilutive effects of stock-based compensation. Dilutive securities are not included in the computation of loss per share when the Company reports a net loss from continuing operations as the impact would be anti-dilutive. All share and per share amounts are restated for any stock splits and stock dividends that occur prior to the issuance of the financial statements. See Note 13, Capital Stock, for additional information. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Impact of COVID-19 Beginning in early 2020, overall global economic conditions were significantly impacted by COVID-19. The Company operated, since the onset of the pandemic, as a provider of certain essential services in the U.S. and other countries and overall business conditions have strengthened since the second quarter of 2020. The ultimate duration and impact of COVID-19 on the Company and its customers' operations is presently unclear, though the Company continues to operate as a provider of certain essential services in the U.S and other countries.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards The following accounting standards have been adopted in 2021: On January 1, 2021 the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB which are intended to reduce complexity and simplify the accounting for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP by removing certain exceptions related to investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations and clarifying existing guidance to improve consistent application. These changes did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The following accounting standards have been issued and become effective for the Company at a future date: In March 2020, the FASB issued changes that provide companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. In response to the concerns about risks of IBORs and, particularly, the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. The changes provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued additional clarification changes. The changes can be adopted no later than December 31, 2022 with early adoption permitted. Management does not believe these changes will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued changes which simplified the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The changes become effective January 1, 2022. Management has concluded that this standard will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In November 2021, the FASB issued changes that improve the transparency of government assistance received by entities. The changes require disclosure of the nature of transactions, including significant terms and conditions, accounting policies used, and financial statement line items affected by the transactions. The changes become effective January 1, 2022. Other than required expanded disclosures, the adoption of these changes will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |

Acquisitions and Dispositions | Acquisitions and Dispositions Harsco Rail Segment In November 2021, the Company announced its intention to sell the Rail business. The former Harsco Rail Segment has historically been a separate reportable segment with primary operations in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific. The former Harsco Rail Segment's balance sheet positions as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are presented as Assets held-for-sale and Liabilities of assets held-for-sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are summarized as follows: (in thousands) December 31 December 31 Trade accounts receivable, net $ 33,689 $ 52,077 Other receivables 4,740 3,045 Inventories 103,560 112,013 Current portion of contract assets 94,597 52,240 Other current assets 25,442 27,703 Property, plant and equipment, net 39,524 37,855 Right-of-use assets, net 3,108 4,354 Goodwill 13,026 13,026 Intangible assets, net 3,081 3,449 Deferred income tax assets 6,064 4,906 Other assets 6,432 6,316 Total Rail assets included in Assets held-for-sale $ 333,263 $ 316,984 Accounts payable $ 46,076 $ 53,937 Accrued compensation 2,171 1,503 Current portion of operating lease liabilities 1,619 1,745 Current portion of advances on contracts 62,401 37,462 Other current liabilities 49,732 33,280 Advances on contracts — 44,731 Operating lease liabilities 1,775 2,734 Deferred tax liabilities 5,736 4,461 Other liabilities 982 925 Total Rail liabilities included in Liabilities of assets held-for-sale $ 170,492 $ 180,778 The results of the former Harsco Rail Segment are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. Certain key selected financial information included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax for the former Harsco Rail Segment is as follows: Years ended December 31 (In thousands) 2021 2020 2019 Amounts directly attributable to the former Harsco Rail Segment: Service revenues $ 32,425 $ 31,642 $ 30,254 Product revenues 266,221 298,189 269,119 Cost of services sold 17,272 23,480 21,883 Cost of products sold 251,897 235,040 192,310 Income (loss) from discontinued businesses (19,967) 23,096 25,406 Additional amounts allocated to the former Harsco Rail Segment: Selling, general and administrative expenses (a) $ 178 $ — $ — (a) The Company has allocated directly attributable transaction costs to discontinued operations. The Company has retained corporate overhead expenses previously allocated to the former Harsco Rail Segment of $4.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 as part of Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company's former Harsco Rail segment is currently manufacturing highly-engineered equipment under large long-term fixed-price contracts with the SBB, the infrastructure manager for most of the railway in the U.K. ("Network Rail"), and the national railway company in Germany ("Deutsche Bahn"). Post-engineering, the Company has made significant progress in the development of the prototype/initial units for certain portions of these contracts during the fourth quarter of 2021, which has provided clarity in terms of material requirements and associated cost impacts. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recognized estimated forward loss provisions related to these contracts of $33.4 million. The principal driver of the provisions was recent expected cost inflation for all contracts, including for vendors in Europe who perform the manufacturing and assembly of certain equipment under these contracts. In addition, the estimate for liquidated damages for delivery delays for the Network Rail contract was increased based on the current status of negotiations with the customer during the quarter, as well as delayed prototype build and the resulting delayed delivery schedule. The estimated forward loss provision represents the Company's best estimate based on currently available information. It is possible that the Company's overall estimate of costs to complete these contracts may increase, which would result in an additional estimated forward loss provision at such time. The first contract with SBB is complete, and the second contract is 78% complete as of December 31, 2021. The contracts with Network Rail and Deutsche Bahn are 42% and 18% complete, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. The following is selected financial information included on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows attributable to the former Harsco Rail Segment: Years Ended December 31 (In thousands) 2021 2020 2019 Non-cash operating items Depreciation and amortization $ 4,329 $ 5,450 $ 4,876 Cash flows from investing activities Purchases of property, plant and equipment 1,406 7,962 15,274 ESOL On April 6, 2020 the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of ESOL, an established waste transportation, processing and services provider with a comprehensive portfolio of disposal solutions for customers primarily across the industrial, retail and healthcare markets, from Stericycle, Inc. for $429.0 million cash, inclusive of post-closing adjustments. In addition, as part of the acquisition, the Company entered into a non-compete agreement with Stericycle, Inc. Concurrent to the ESOL acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement with Stericycle, Inc. related to certain Stericycle, Inc. customers who receive services from both ESOL and other Stericycle, Inc. businesses under a single contractual arrangement. The revenue pertaining to services rendered to these customers are invoiced centrally through Stericycle, Inc. billing systems and ESOL's portion of the revenue, less a management fee, is then distributed to the Company. The fair value recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for ESOL is as follows: (In millions) April 6 Measurement Period Adjustments Final Valuation Cash and cash equivalents $ 0.4 $ — $ 0.4 Trade accounts receivable 124.1 (1.5) 122.6 Inventory 5.0 — 5.0 Other current assets 0.7 (0.7) — Property, plant and equipment 105.3 (3.9) 101.4 Right-of-use assets, net 56.0 — 56.0 Goodwill 152.0 1.3 153.3 Intangible assets 161.0 — 161.0 Other assets 0.2 — 0.2 Accounts payable (48.6) (1.5) (50.1) Accrued expenses (17.5) (1.8) (19.3) Current portion of operating lease liabilities (16.6) — (16.6) Other current liabilities (6.4) (0.2) (6.6) Environmental liabilities (24.4) — (24.4) Deferred income taxes (15.5) (1.5) (17.0) Operating lease liabilities (39.4) — (39.4) Total identifiable net assets of ESOL 436.3 (9.8) 426.5 Non-compete agreement 2.5 — 2.5 Total identifiable net assets of ESOL, including non-compete agreement $ 438.8 $ (9.8) $ 429.0 The goodwill is primarily attributed to expected operational efficiencies and synergies from the expanded geographical scale of hazardous waste processing facilities resulting from combining the ESOL business with the existing Clean Earth business of the Company, as well as the value associated with the assembled workforce of ESOL. The Company expects $36.8 million of goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes through 2030. The following table details the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and amortization periods for ESOL and the non-compete agreement: (Dollars in millions) Weighted-Average Amortization Period April 6 Measurement Period Adjustments Final Valuation Permits and rights 22 years $ 138.0 $ — $ 138.0 Customer relationships 10 years 23.0 — 23.0 Total identifiable intangible assets of ESOL 161.0 — 161.0 Non-compete agreement 4 years 2.5 — 2.5 Total identifiable intangible assets acquired $ 163.5 $ — $ 163.5 The Company valued the identifiable intangible assets using methodologies under the income approach including the multi-period excess earnings method, the distributor method, and the with-and-without method. The years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 included ESOL direct acquisition and integration costs of $49.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively, which are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses, within the Corporate function, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition to the acquisition and integration costs reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, debt issuance costs associated with the issuance of debt to fund the acquisition are reflected, net of amortization subsequent to the acquisition date, as Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Clean Earth On June 28, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Clean Earth, one of the largest U.S. providers of specialty waste processing and beneficial reuse solutions for hazardous wastes, soil and dredged materials, for an enterprise valuation of approximately $625 million on a cash free, debt free basis, subject to normal working capital adjustments. The Company transferred approximately $628 million of cash consideration and agreed to reimburse the sellers for any usage of assumed net operating losses in a post-closing period for up to five years. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the present value of the expected reimbursement is approximately $8 million and $11 million, respectively. See Footnote 18, Other (Income) Expenses, Net, for additional details. The fair value recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Clean Earth is as follows: (In millions) June 28 Measurement Period Adjustments Final Valuation Cash and cash equivalents $ 42.8 $ (39.2) $ 3.6 Trade accounts receivable, net 63.7 (1.2) 62.5 Other receivables 0.8 1.3 2.1 Other current assets 8.7 (1.4) 7.3 Property, plant and equipment 75.6 1.4 77.0 Right-of-use assets, net 14.4 11.4 25.8 Goodwill 313.8 16.8 330.6 Intangible assets 261.1 (18.9) 242.2 Other assets 4.0 (2.8) 1.2 Accounts payable (23.0) (0.1) (23.1) Acquisition consideration payable (39.2) 39.2 — Other current liabilities (18.0) (1.7) (19.7) Net deferred taxes liabilities (51.2) 5.5 (45.7) Operating lease liabilities (11.1) (8.4) (19.5) Other liabilities (6.5) (2.1) (8.6) Total identifiable net assets of Clean Earth $ 635.9 $ (0.2) $ 635.7 The goodwill is attributable to strategic benefits, including enhanced operational and financial scale, as well as product and market diversification that the Company expects to realize. The Company expects $16.3 million of goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes through 2033. The following table details the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and amortization periods for Clean Earth: (Dollars in millions) Weighted-Average Amortization Period June 28 Measurement Period Adjustments Final Valuation Permits 18 years $ 176.1 $ (6.0) $ 170.1 Customer relationships and backlog 8 years 33.4 (12.9) 20.5 Air rights Usage based (b) 25.6 — 25.6 Trade names 12 years 26.0 — 26.0 Total identifiable intangible assets of Clean Earth $ 261.1 $ (18.9) $ 242.2 (b) The Company estimates that based on current usage that the expected useful life would be 27 years. The Company valued the identifiable intangible assets using an income-based approach that utilized either the multi-period excess earnings method or the relief from royalty method. The year ended December 31, 2019 included Clean Earth direct acquisition costs of $15.2 million, which are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses, within the Corporate function, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition to the acquisition costs reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, debt issuance costs associated with the issuance of debt to fund the acquisition are reflected, net of amortization subsequent to the acquisition date, as Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Harsco Industrial Segment In May 2019, the Company announced its intent to divest the businesses that comprised the Harsco Industrial Segment; AXC, IKG and PK. These disposals represented a strategic shift and accelerated the transformation of the Company's portfolio of businesses into a leading provider of environmental solutions and services. In July 2019, the Company sold AXC for $600 million in cash and recognized a gain on sale of $527.9 million pre-tax (or approximately $421 million after-tax). In November 2019, the Company sold PK for approximately $60 million in cash and recognized a gain on sale of $41.2 million pre-tax (or approximately $33 million after-tax). In January 2020, the Company sold IKG for $85.0 million, including a note receivable with a face value of $40.0 million and recognized an $18.4 million pre-tax gain on sale (or approximately $9 million after-tax). In 2019 the gains on the sales of AXC and PK and in 2020 the gain on the sale of IKG have been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations. The Harsco Industrial Segment was historically a separate reportable segment with primary operations in North America and Latin America. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the results of the former Harsco Industrial Segment are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. Certain key selected financial information included in net income from discontinued operations for the former Harsco Industrial Segment is as follows: Years ended December 31 (In thousands) 2021 2020 2019 Amounts directly attributable to the former Harsco Industrial Segment: Total revenues $ — $ 10,203 $ 306,972 Cost of products sold — 8,082 224,811 Gain on sale from discontinued businesses — 18,281 569,135 Income (loss) from discontinued businesses (3,510) (1,578) 27,823 Additional amounts allocated to the former Harsco Industrial Segment: Selling, general and administrative expenses (c) $ 3,510 $ 2,695 $ 8,429 Interest expense (d) — — 11,237 Loss on early extinguishment of debt (e) — — 5,314 (c) The Company allocated directly attributable transaction costs to discontinued operations. In addition, this caption includes costs directly attributable to retained contingent liabilities of the former Harsco Industrial Segment. (d) The Company allocated interest expense, including a portion of the amount reclassified into income for the Company's interest rate swaps, amortization of deferred financing costs, and $2.7 million related to interest rate swap terminations which were directly attributed with the mandatory repayment of certain debt resulting from the AXC disposal. (e) The Company allocated the $5.3 million write-off of deferred financing costs to discontinued operations as it directly attributed to the mandatory repayment of certain debt resulting from the AXC disposal. The Company retained corporate overhead expenses previously allocated to the former Harsco Industrial Segment of $4.0 million in 2019 as part of Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |

The provision for doubtful accounts related to trade accounts receivable was as follows: Years Ended December 31 (In thousands) 2021 2020 2019 Provision for expected credit losses and doubtful accounts related to trade accounts receivable $ 589 $ 1,961 $ 7,123 The provision for doubtful accounts in 2019 primarily included a provision in the Harsco Environmental Segment related to a customer in the U.K entering administration which was subsequently written off in 2020. At December 31, 2021 $8.0 million of the Company's trade accounts receivable were past due by twelve months or more, with $5.4 million of this amount reserved. Collection of the remaining balance is still ultimately expected. In January 2020, the Company sold IKG for $85.0 million including cash and a note receivable, subject to post-closing adjustments. The note receivable from the buyer has a face value of $40.0 million, bearing interest at 2.50%, that is paid in kind and matures on January 31, 2027. Any unpaid principal, along with any accrued but unpaid interest is payable at maturity. Prepayment is required in case of a change in control or a percentage of excess cash flow, as defined in the note receivable agreement. Because there are no scheduled payments under the terms of the note receivable, the balance is not classified as current and is included in the caption Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The initial fair value of the note receivable was $34.3 million which was calculated using an average of various discounted cash flow scenarios based on anticipated timing of repayments (Level 3) and was a non-cash transaction. The note receivable is subsequently measured at amortized cost. Key inputs into the valuation model include: projected timing and amount of cash flows, pro forma debt rating, option-adjusted spread and U.S. Treasury spot rate. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company received a payment of $6.4 million related to excess cash flow. At December 31, 2021 the amortized cost of the note receivable was $31.0 million, compared with a fair value of $32.3 million.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities March 2021 Amendment In March 2021, the Company amended its Senior Secured Credit Facilities to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility to March 10, 2026, and to modify aspects of its total net leverage ratio covenant. As a result of this amendment, the net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio covenant was increased to 5.75 through December 2021 and then decreases quarterly until reaching 4.50 in December 2022 and 4.00 in March 2023. In addition the Company issued the New Term Loan, as an additional tranche, under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million. The New Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum of 1.25% over base rate, subject to a zero floor, or 2.25% over LIBOR, subject to a 0.50% floor. The New Term Loan is subject to quarterly amortization of principal of 0.25%, beginning September 30, 2021. The proceeds of the New Term Loan were used to repay in full the outstanding Term Loan A and Term Loan B under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which were due on June 28, 2024 and December 8, 2024, respectively. The New Term Loan matures on March 10, 2028, or earlier, on the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the Company’s 5.75% Senior Notes, due 2027, if such Senior Notes are outstanding or have not been refinanced at such time. In October 2021, the Company amended its Senior Secured Credit Facilities to, among other things, to make certain amendments in connection with the discontinuation of LIBOR. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $5.5 million, $1.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of fees and expenses related to amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in the caption Unused debt commitment, amendment fees and loss on the extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount for 2021 includes a write-off of $2.7 million of previously recorded deferred financing costs. The Company capitalized fees of $7.8 million related to the March 2021 Amendment. In addition, on February 22, 2022, the Company amended its Senior Credit Facilities (“Amendment No. 9 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) to reset the levels of the net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio covenant. As a result of this amendment, the net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio covenant was set at 5.75 for the quarter ending March 31, 2022, and then decreases quarterly by 0.25 until reaching 4.00 for the quarter ending December 31, 2023 and thereafter. In addition, upon closing on the divestiture of the former Harsco Rail Segment, the net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio covenant will decrease by an additional 0.25, provided, however, it will not go below 4.00. See Note 20 Subsequent Events and Item 9B Other Information for discussion of the Amendment No. 9 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement imposes certain restrictions including, but not limited to, restrictions as to types and amounts of debt of liens that may be incurred by the Company; limitations on increases in dividend payments; limitations on repurchases of the Company's stock and limitations on certain acquisitions by the Company. With respect to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the obligations of the Company are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s current and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (“Guarantors”). All obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Guarantors. The Credit Agreement requires certain mandatory prepayments of the New Term Loan, subject to certain exceptions, based on net cash proceeds of certain sales or distributions of assets, as well as certain casualty and condemnation events, in some cases subject to reinvestment rights and certain other exceptions; net cash proceeds of any issuance of debt, excluded permitted debt issuances; and a percentage of excess cash flow, as defined by the Credit Agreement, during a fiscal year. Revolving Credit Facility Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, a U.S.-based program, bear interest at a rate per annum ranging from 50 to 150 basis points over base rate or 150 to 250 basis points over adjusted LIBOR, subject to a 0% floor. Any principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility is due and payable on its maturity on March 10, 2026.

Employee Benefit Plans | Employee Benefit Plans Pension Benefits The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering a certain number of employees. The defined benefits for salaried employees generally are based on years of service and the employee's level of compensation during specified periods of employment. Defined benefit pension plans covering hourly employees generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. MEPPs in which the Company participates provide benefits to certain unionized employees. The Company's funding policy for qualified plans is consistent with statutory regulations and customarily equals the amount deducted for income tax purposes. Periodic voluntary contributions are made, as recommended, by the Company's Pension Committee. For most U.S. defined benefit pension plans and a majority of international defined benefit pension plans, accrued service is no longer granted. In place of these plans, the Company has established defined contribution plans providing for the Company to contribute a specified matching amount for participating employees' contributions to the plan. For U.S. employees, this match is made on employee contributions up to 4% of eligible compensation. Additionally, the Company may provide a discretionary contribution for eligible employees. There have been no discretionary contributions provided for the years 2021, 2020 and 2019. For non-U.S. employees, this match is up to 6% of eligible compensation with an additional 2% going towards insurance and administrative costs. NPPC from continuing operations for U.S. and international plans for 2021, 2020 and 2019 is as follows: U.S. Plans International Plans (In thousands) 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Net Periodic Pension Cost (Income): Defined benefit pension plans: Service cost $ — $ — $ 39 $ 1,805 $ 1,642 $ 1,308 Interest cost 4,813 7,381 10,551 12,652 17,599 22,148 Expected return on plan assets (12,199) (11,368) (10,297) (45,018) (41,013) (37,218) Recognized prior service costs — — — 582 512 326 Recognized losses 5,538 5,100 5,585 18,119 14,723 14,345 Settlement/curtailment loss (gain) — — 129 (6) 18 19 Defined benefit pension plan cost (income) (1,848) 1,113 6,007 (11,866) (6,519) 928 Multiemployer pension plans 640 620 727 1,035 969 1,167 Defined contribution plans 5,660 4,769 2,523 4,196 3,994 5,349 Net periodic pension cost (income) $ 4,452 $ 6,502 $ 9,257 $ (6,635) $ (1,556) $ 7,444 The change in the financial status of the defined benefit pension plans and amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: U.S. Plans International Plans (In thousands) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 296,660 $ 294,693 $ 1,119,552 $ 984,665 Service cost — — 1,805 1,642 Interest cost 4,813 7,381 12,652 17,599 Plan participants' contributions — — 15 18 Amendments — — — 1,088 Actuarial (gain) loss (8,063) 25,212 (58,567) 129,410 Settlements/curtailments — — (269) (256) Benefits paid (16,403) (17,675) (39,831) (43,952) Effect of foreign currency — — (13,159) 29,379 Acquisitions/divestitures — (12,951) — (41) Benefit obligation at end of year $ 277,007 $ 296,660 $ 1,022,198 $ 1,119,552 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 226,125 $ 226,268 $ 957,177 $ 860,321 Actual return on plan assets 19,005 24,975 40,382 95,132 Employer contributions 4,219 3,528 25,077 21,955 Plan participants' contributions — — 15 18 Settlements/curtailments — — (269) (256) Benefits paid (16,402) (17,675) (39,220) (43,527) Effect of foreign currency — — (9,910) 23,534 Acquisitions/divestitures — (10,971) — — Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 232,947 $ 226,125 $ 973,252 $ 957,177 Funded status at end of year $ (44,060) $ (70,535) $ (48,946) $ (162,375) Significant items impacting actuarial gains and losses for 2021 for U.S. plans included: improvement in the funded position due to the actual return on the fair value of plan assets since the prior measurement date being greater than assumed, and an increase in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation compared with the prior year; partially offset by a decrease in the funded position due to updates in the mortality improvement projection assumption. The significant item impacting actuarial gains and losses for 2021 for international plans, principally the U.K. plan, was improvement in the funded position due to an increase in the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation compared with the prior year. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for defined benefit pension plans consist of the following at December 31, 2021 and 2020: U.S. Plans International Plans December 31 December 31 (In thousands) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Noncurrent assets $ — $ — $ 2,046 $ — Current liabilities 1,999 1,970 967 907 Noncurrent liabilities 42,061 68,565 50,025 161,468 AOCI 114,874 135,281 410,114 487,682 Amounts recognized in AOCI for defined benefit pension plans consist of the following at December 31, 2021 and 2020: U.S. Plans International Plans (In thousands) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net actuarial loss $ 114,874 $ 135,281 $ 400,497 $ 477,238 Prior service cost — — 9,617 10,444 Total $ 114,874 $ 135,281 $ 410,114 $ 487,682 The Company's estimate of expected contributions to be paid in 2022 for the U.S. and international defined benefit plans total $2.0 million and $24.7 million, respectively. Future Benefit Payments Expected benefit payments for defined benefit pension plans over the next ten years are as follows: (In millions) 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2026-2030 U.S. Plans $ 27.2 $ 16.7 $ 16.6 $ 16.5 $ 16.4 $ 78.7 International Plans 40.9 41.9 43.1 44.5 45.9 245.3 Net Periodic Pension Cost and Defined Benefit Pension Obligation Assumptions The weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine the defined benefit pension plan NPPC for 2021, 2020 and 2019 were as follows: U.S. Plans International Plans Global Weighted-Average 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Discount rates 2.4 % 3.2 % 4.2 % 1.4 % 2.1 % 2.9 % 1.6 % 2.4 % 3.2 % Expected long-term rates of return on plan assets 6.8 % 7.0 % 7.3 % 4.7 % 5.2 % 5.5 % 5.1 % 5.6 % 5.9 % The expected long-term rates of return on defined benefit pension plan assets for the 2022 NPPC are 6.3% for the U.S. plans and 4.4% for the international plans. The expected global long-term rate of return on assets for 2022 is 4.7%. The weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine the defined benefit pension plan obligations at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: U.S. Plans International Plans Global Weighted-Average December 31 December 31 December 31 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 Discount rates 2.7 % 2.4 % 1.9 % 1.4 % 2.1 % 1.6 % Since accrued service is no longer granted to the U.S. defined benefit plans and the majority of the international defined benefit pension plans, the rate of compensation increase did not have a significant impact on the defined benefit pension obligation at December 31, 2021 and 2020 or the defined benefit pension plan NPPC for the years ended 2021, 2020 and 2019. The U.S. discount rate was determined using a yield curve that was produced from a universe containing approximately 1,100 U.S. dollar-denominated, AA-graded corporate bonds, all of which were noncallable (or callable with make-whole provisions) and excluding the 10% of the bonds with the highest deviation from the expected yield and the 10% with the lowest deviation from the expected yield within each duration group. The discount rate was then developed as the level-equivalent rate that would produce the same present value as that using spot rates to discount the projected benefit payments. For international plans, the discount rate is aligned to corporate bond yields in the local markets, normally AA-rated corporations. The process and selection seek to approximate the cash inflows with the timing and amounts of the expected benefit payments. Accumulated Benefit Obligation The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was as follows: U.S. Plans International Plans December 31 December 31 (In millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Accumulated benefit obligation $ 277.0 $ 296.7 $ 1,016.1 $ 1,113.4 Defined Benefit Pension Plans with Accumulated Benefit Obligation in Excess of Plan Assets The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for defined benefit pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: U.S. Plans International Plans December 31 December 31 (In millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Projected benefit obligation $ 277.0 $ 296.7 $ 988.6 $ 1,115.7 Accumulated benefit obligation 277.0 296.7 984.7 1,109.8 Fair value of plan assets 232.9 226.1 939.3 953.5 The asset allocations attributable to the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the long-term target allocation of plan assets, by asset category, are as follows: Target Long-Term Percentage of Plan Assets U.S. Plans Asset Category 2021 2020 Domestic equity securities 18%-28% 22.8 % 30.8 % International equity securities 17%-27% 22.5 % 26.5 % Fixed income securities 41%-51% 45.9 % 33.4 % Cash and cash equivalents Less than 5% — % 0.7 % Other (a) 4%-14% 8.8 % 8.6 % (a) Investments within this caption include diversified global asset allocation funds and credit collection funds. Defined benefit pension plan assets are allocated among various categories of equities, fixed income securities and cash and cash equivalents with professional investment managers whose performance is actively monitored. The primary investment objective is long-term growth of assets in order to meet present and future benefit obligations. The Company periodically conducts an asset/liability modeling study and accordingly adjusts investments among and within asset categories to ensure the long-term investment strategy is aligned with the profile of benefit obligations. The Company reviews the long-term expected return on asset assumption on a periodic basis considering a variety of factors including historical investment returns achieved over a long-term period, the targeted allocation of plan assets and future expectations based on a model of asset returns for an actively managed portfolio. The model simulates 1,000 different capital market results over 20 years. The expected return-on-asset assumption for U.S. defined benefit pension plans for 2022 and 2021 are 6.3% and 6.8%, respectively. The U.S. defined benefit pension plans' assets include 310,000 shares at December 31, 2021 and 330,000 shares at December 31, 2020 of the Company's common stock, valued at $5.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively. These shares represented 2.2% and 2.6% of total U.S. plan assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The asset allocations attributable to the Company's international defined benefit pension plans at December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the long-term target allocation of plan assets, by asset category, are as follows: International Plans Asset Category Target Long-Term Percentage of Plan Assets 2021 2020 Equity securities 26.5 % 27.9 % 32.0 % Fixed income securities 65.5 % 63.6 % 49.5 % Cash and cash equivalents — 0.7 % 0.2 % Other (b) 8.0 % 7.8 % 18.3 % (b) Investments within this caption include diversified growth funds and real estate funds. International defined benefit pension plan assets at December 31, 2021 in the U.K. defined benefit pension plan totaled approximately 96% of the international defined benefit pension plan assets. The U.K. plan assets are allocated among various categories of equities, fixed income securities and cash and cash equivalents with professional investment managers whose performance is actively monitored. The primary investment objective is long-term growth of assets in order to meet present and future benefit obligations. The Company periodically conducts asset/liability modeling studies and accordingly adjusts investment amounts within asset categories to ensure the long-term investment strategy is aligned with the profile of benefit obligations. For the international long-term rate of return assumption, the Company considered the current level of expected returns in risk-free investments (primarily government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested, and the expectations for future returns of each asset class and plan expenses. The expected return for each asset class is then weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets. The expected return on asset assumption for the U.K. defined benefit pension plan for 2022 and 2021 are 4.3% and 4.7%, respectively. The remaining international defined benefit pension plans, with plan assets representing approximately 4% of the international defined benefit pension plan assets, are under the guidance of professional investment managers and have similar investment objectives.

The fair values of money market accounts and certain mutual funds are based on quoted net asset values of the shares held by the plan at year-end. The fair values of domestic and international stocks and corporate bonds, notes and convertible debentures are valued at the closing price reported in the active market on which the individual securities are traded. • Level 2 Fair Value Measurements—The fair values of investments in mutual funds for which quoted net asset values in an active market are not available are valued by the investment advisor based on the current market values of the underlying assets of the mutual fund based on information reported by the investment consistent with audited financial statements of the mutual fund. Further information concerning these mutual funds may be obtained from their separate audited financial statements. Investments in U.S. Treasury notes and collateralized securities are valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes Current income tax expense or benefit represents the amounts expected to be reported on the Company's income tax returns, and deferred income tax expense or benefit represents the change in net deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted income tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded as appropriate to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered more likely than not to be realized. Included in the Tax Act were the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions. The Company elected to account for GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred. The GILTI provisions require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary's tangible assets.

The decrease in cash payments for 2021 is principally due to payments associated with the gain on the sale of IKG in 2020 and the gain on the sale of AXC and PK in 2019 not recurring in 2021. A reconciliation of the normal expected statutory U.S. federal income tax expense (benefit) to the actual Income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows: (In thousands) 2021 2020 2019 U.S. federal income tax expense (benefit), at statutory tax rate of 21% $ 7,877 $ (11,386) $ 6,523 U.S. state income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit (310) (2,015) (1,290) U.S. other domestic deductions and credits (415) (1,312) (596) Difference in effective tax rates on international earnings and remittances 4,488 7,872 7,536 Uncertain tax position contingencies and settlements 783 289 310 Changes in realization on beginning of the year deferred tax assets (5,035) (1,501) 2,343 U.S. non-deductible expenses 936 2,300 2,461 Impact of U.S. tax reform — — 1,644 Net operating loss carryback (2,696) — State deferred tax rate changes 592 (40) (3,354) Employee share-based payments 173 (184) (2,817) Other, net — — (32) Total income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations $ 9,089 $ (8,673) $ 12,728 At December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company's annual effective income tax rate on income (loss) from continuing operations was 24.2%, 16.0% and 41.0%, respectively. The Company’s international income from continuing operations before income taxes and equity income was $72 million and $33.1 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively. In 2021, the Company recorded $6.8 million income tax benefit arising from the recognition of deferred tax assets in Harsco Environmental Brazil. Brazil has 3 years of cumulative income and expects to utilize the deferred tax assets against future income. The Company's total international income tax expense decreased from $16.6 million in 2020 to $13.2 million in 2021 primarily due to the Brazil income tax benefit in 2021, partially offset by improvement of operating income. The Company’s differences in income tax expense for 2021 and 2020 on international earnings and remittances was $4.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively, which included U.S income tax expense on international deemed remittances of $0.1 million and $0.1 million respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the change in mix of income. The Company's U.S. loss from continuing operations before income taxes and equity income was $34.5 million and $87.3 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company's total U.S. income tax benefit decreased from $25.3 million in 2020 to $4.1 million in 2021 primarily due to decreased expenses from corporate strategic spending, recognition of net operating loss carrybacks not recurring in 2021, as well as disallowed interest expense. The income tax effects of the temporary differences giving rise to the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: 2021 (a) 2020 (a) (In thousands) Asset Liability Asset Liability Depreciation and amortization $ — $ 80,278 $ — $ 87,681 Right-of-use assets 25,759 23,406 Operating lease liabilities 25,431 22,868 Expense accruals 24,949 — 22,136 — Inventories 3,400 — 2,721 — Provision for receivables 5,504 — 4,903 — Deferred revenue — 4,124 — 4,425 Operating loss carryforwards 65,935 — 66,703 — Tax credit carryforwards 18,608 — 15,630 — Pensions 23,298 — 49,740 — Currency adjustments 5,075 — 4,829 — Deferred financing costs 359 — — 269 Section 163(j) disallowed interest expense 4,843 — — — Post-retirement benefits 335 — 340 — Stock based compensation 7,396 — 6,696 — Other 1,470 — 1,954 — Subtotal 186,603 110,161 198,520 115,781 Valuation allowance (92,385) — (108,563) — Total deferred income taxes $ 94,218 $ 110,161 $ 89,957 $ 115,781 (a) Does not include approximately $1.1 billion of statutory loss carryforwards within Luxembourg for which the Company considers the utilization of these attributes remote and as such no deferred tax asset or corresponding valuation allowance has been recorded. At December 31, 2021, the tax-effected amount of NOLs totaled $65.9 million. Tax-effected NOLs from international operations are $40.9 million. Of that amount, $32.0 million can be carried forward indefinitely and $8.9 million will expire at various times between 2022 and 2041. Tax-effected U.S. state NOLs are $16.0 million. Of that amount, $3.6 million expire at various times between 2022 and 2026, $3.2 million expire at various times between 2027 and 2031, $4.7 million expire at various times between 2032 and 2036 and $4.5 million expire at various times between 2037 and 2041. At December 31, 2021, the tax-effected amount of U.S. Federal NOLs totaled $9.0 million. Of that amount, $7.2 million can be carried forward indefinitely and $1.8 million will expire at various times between 2033 and 2034. Valuation allowances of $92.4 million and $108.6 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related principally to deferred tax assets for pension liabilities, NOLs, foreign tax credit carryforwards and foreign currency translation that are uncertain as to realizability. In 2021, the Company recorded a valuation allowance reduction of $19.3 million related to current year pension adjustment recorded through AOCI, a valuation allowance reduction of $6.8 million in Brazil where the Company determined that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized, and a valuation allowance reduction of $3.5 million from the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments, partially offset by a $14.4 million valuation allowance increase related to the UK tax rate change, and $4.8 million valuation allowance increase related to disallowed interest expense. The Tax Act introduced a transition tax and a territorial tax system, which was effective beginning in 2018. The territorial tax system impacts the Company's overall global capital and legal entity structure, working capital, and repatriation plan on a go-forward basis. The Company asserts that all foreign earnings will be indefinitely reinvested to meet local cash needs. The Company therefore intends to limit distributions to earnings previously taxed in the U.S., or earnings that would qualify for the 100 percent dividends received deduction provided for in the Tax Act, and earnings that would not result in any significant foreign taxes. Therefore, the Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability on its investment in foreign subsidiaries. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized income tax benefits in income tax expense or benefit. The Company recognized an income tax expense of $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for interest and penalties. The Company has accrued $1.7 million, $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. A reconciliation of the change in the unrecognized income tax benefits balance from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021 is as follows: (In thousands) Unrecognized Deferred Unrecognized Balances, January 1, 2019 $ 2,422 $ (26) $ 2,396 Additions for tax positions related to the current year (includes currency translation adjustment) 414 (7) 407 Additions for tax positions related to prior years (includes currency translation adjustment) 681 — 681 Statutes of limitation expirations (326) 2 (324) Settlements (62) 9 (53) Balance at December 31, 2019 3,129 (22) 3,107 Additions for tax positions related to the current year (includes currency translation adjustment) 596 (2) 594 Other reductions for tax positions related to prior years (771) — (771) Statutes of limitation expirations (58) 2 (56) Balance at December 31, 2020 2,896 (22) 2,874 Additions for tax positions related to the current year (includes currency translation adjustment) 316 (1) 315 Additions for tax positions related to prior years (includes currency translation adjustment) 500 — 500 Statutes of limitation expirations (585) 1 (584) Total unrecognized income tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate at December 31, 2021 $ 3,127 $ (22) $ 3,105 Within the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that up to $0.4 million of unrecognized income tax benefits will be recognized upon settlement of income tax examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitations. The Company files income tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S and international income tax examinations by tax authorities through 2015. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Environmental The Company is involved in a number of environmental remediation investigations and cleanups and, along with other companies, has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” for certain byproduct disposal sites. While each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, it is probable that the Company will agree to make payments toward funding certain of these activities, and it is possible that some of these matters will be decided unfavorably to the Company. The Company has evaluated its potential liability and its financial exposure is dependent upon such factors as the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the allocation of cost among potentially responsible parties, the years of remedial activity required and the remediation methods selected. The Company evaluates its liability for future environmental remediation costs on a quarterly basis. Although actual costs to be incurred at identified sites in future periods may vary from the estimates (given inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures), the Company does not expect that any costs that are reasonably possible to be incurred by the Company in connection with environmental matters in excess of the amounts accrued would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The following table summarizes information related to the location and undiscounted amount of the Company's environmental liabilities: (In thousands) December 31 December 31 Current portion of environmental liabilities (a) $ 7,338 $ 6,862 Long-term environmental liabilities 28,435 29,424 Total environmental liabilities $ 35,773 $ 36,286 (a) The current portion of environmental liabilities is included in the caption Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Environmental liabilities relate primarily to the ESOL business which was acquired on April 6, 2020. As part of the ESOL acquisition, the Company assumed control of certain closed sites that were being monitored as part of ongoing environmental remediation plans. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Dispositions, for additional details. Legal Proceedings In the ordinary course of business, the company is a defendant or party to various claims and lawsuits, including those discussed below. On March 28, 2018, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) conducted an inspection of ESOL’s off-site waste management facility in Detroit, MI. On November 23, 2021, the EPA proposed a civil penalty of $390,092 as part of a proposed Administrative Consent Order for alleged improper air emissions at the site. The allegations in the proposed Administrative Consent Order and civil penalty relate exclusively to the period prior the Company’s purchase of the ESOL business. The Company is vigorously contesting the allegations. The Company believes that any loss related to this issue will be recoverable under indemnity rights under the ESOL purchase agreement and representations and warranties insurance policies purchased by the Company, subject to applicable deductibles. On January 27, 2020, the U.S. EPA issued a Notice of Potential Liability to the Company, along with several other companies, concerning the Newtown Creek Superfund Site located in Kings and Queens Counties in New York. The Notice alleges certain facilities formerly owned or operated by subsidiaries of the Company may have resulted in the discharge of hazardous substances into Newtown Creek or its Dutch Kills tributary. The site has been subject to CERCLA response activities since approximately 2011. The U.S. EPA expects to propose a sitewide cleanup plan no sooner than 2024 and announced in July 2021 that it would defer its decision on a potential early action response for the lower two miles of the Creek until the sitewide studies are completed. The Company is one of approximately twenty (20) Potentially Responsible Parties that have received notices, though it is believed other PRPs may exist. The Company vigorously contests the allegations of the Notice and currently does not believe that this matter will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results from operations. On June 25 and 26, 2018, the DTSC conducted a compliance enforcement inspection of ESOL’s facility in Rancho Cordova, California, which was then owned by Stericycle, Inc. On February 14, 2020, the DTSC filed an action in the Superior Court for the State of California, Sacramento Division, alleging violations of California’s Hazardous Waste Control Law and the facility’s hazardous waste permit arising from the inspection. On August 27, 2020 the DTSC issued a Notice of Denial of Hazardous Waste Facility Permit Application. On September 25, 2020, the Company filed an administrative appeal. On September 28, 2021, DTSC scheduled a public hearing on October 28, 2021 as part of its Violation Scoring Procedure (VSP) program to hear testimony on the compliance tier assignment assigned to the facility. The Company would have the ability to judicially challenge any adverse permit actions resulting from this process. The DTSC investigation and compliance issues leading to the compliance tier assignment were ongoing well before the Company's acquisition of the ESOL business, and the Company was aware of the investigation and many of the issues raised in the investigation at the time of the purchase. Accordingly, the Company is indemnified for certain fines and other costs and expenses associated with this matter by Stericycle, Inc. As a result, the administrative appeal and public hearing process will be led by Stericycle, Inc. The Company has not accrued any amounts in respect of these alleged violations and cannot estimate the reasonably possible loss or the range of reasonably possible losses that it may incur. As previously disclosed, the Company has had ongoing meetings with the SCE over processing salt cakes, a processing byproduct, stored at the Al Hafeerah site. The Company’s Bahrain operations that produced the salt cakes has ceased operations. An Environmental Impact Assessment and Technical Feasibility Study for facilities to process the salt cakes was approved by the SCE during the first quarter of 2018. Commissioning of the facilities was completed during the third quarter of 2021 and the processing of the salt cakes has commenced. The Company has previously established a reserve of $7.5 million, which continues to represent the Company's best estimate of the ultimate costs to be incurred to resolve this matter. The Company continues to evaluate this reserve and any future change in estimated costs could be material to the Company’s results of operations in any one period. On July 27, 2018 Brazil’s Federal and Rio de Janeiro State Public Prosecution Offices (MPF and MPE) filed a Civil Public Action against one of the Company's customers (CSN), the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, the Municipality of Volta Redonda, Brazil, and the Instituto Estadual do Ambiente (local environmental protection agency) seeking the implementation of various measures to limit and reduce the accumulation of customer-owned slag at the site in Brazil. On August 6, 2018 the 3rd Federal Court in Volta Redonda granted the MPF and MPE an injunction against the same parties requiring, among other things, CSN and the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary to limit the volume of slag sent to the site. Because the customer owns the site and the slag located on the site, the Company believes that complying with this injunction is the steel producer’s responsibility. On March 18, 2019 the Court issued an order fining the Company 5,000 Brazilian reais per day (or approximately $1 thousand per day) and CSN 20,000 Brazilian reais per day (or approximately $4 thousand per day) until the requirements of the injunction are met. On November 1, 2019 the Court issued an additional order increasing the fines assessed to the Company to 25,000 Brazilian reais per day (or approximately $5 thousand per day) and raising the fines assessed to CSN to 100,000 Brazilian reais per day (or approximately $20 thousand per day). The Court also assessed an additional fine of 10,000,000 Brazilian reais (or approximately $2 million) against CSN and the Company jointly. The Company is appealing the fines and the underlying injunction. Both the Company and CSN continue to have discussions with the governmental authorities on the injunction and the possible resolution of the underlying case. The Company does not believe that a loss relating to this matter is probable or estimable at this point. On October 19, 2018 local environmental authorities issued an enforcement action against the Company concerning the Company’s operations at a customer site in Ijmuiden, Netherlands. The enforcement action alleged violations of the Company’s environmental permit at the site, which restricts the release of any visible dust emissions. On January 12, 2022, the Administrative Supreme Court upheld the Company’s challenge of these enforcement actions as they relate to the slag tipping area of the site. As a result, all fines asserted against the Company to date have been invalidated and all fines paid to date must be reimbursed. This order is not appealable. On or about October 14, 2021, the Company received a subpoena and two indictments on this matter before the Amsterdam District Court in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam Public Prosecutor’s Office issued the two indictments against the Company, alleging violations in connection with dust releases and/or events alleged to have occurred in 2018 through May 2020 at the site. The action cites provisions which permit fines for the alleged infractions and seeks EURO 100,000 in fines with a smaller amount held in abeyance. On February 2, 2022, the prosecutor announced that they would further investigate residents’ claims related to this matter. The Company is vigorously contesting all allegations against it and is also working with its customer to ensure the control of emissions. The Company has contractual indemnity rights from its customer that it believes will substantially cover any fines or penalties. DEA Investigation Prior to the Company’s acquisition of ESOL, Stericycle, Inc, notified the Company that the DEA had served an administrative subpoena on Stericycle, Inc. and executed a search warrant at a facility in Rancho Cordova, California and an administrative inspection warrant at a facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Company has determined that the DEA and the DTSC have launched investigations involving, at least in part, the ESOL business of collecting, transporting, and destroying controlled substances from retail customers that transferred from Stericycle, Inc. to the Company. In connection with these investigations, the DEA also executed a search warrant on an ESOL facility in Austin Texas on July 2, 2020. The Company is cooperating with these inquiries, which relate primarily to the period before the Company owned the ESOL business. Since the acquisition of the ESOL business, the Company has performed a vigorous review of ESOL’s compliance program related to controlled substances and has made material changes to the manner in which controlled substances are transported from retail customers to DEA-registered facilities for destruction. The Company has not accrued any amounts in respect of these investigations and cannot estimate the reasonably possible loss or the range of reasonably possible losses that it may incur, if any. Investigations of this type are, by their nature, uncertain and unpredictable. While it is the Company’s position that it has recourse for some or all liabilities, if any, that arise from these matters under the ESOL purchase agreement and representations and warranties insurance policies purchased by the Company, there can be no assurances that the Company’s position will ultimately prevail. Brazilian Tax Disputes The Company is involved in a number of tax disputes with federal, state and municipal tax authorities in Brazil. These disputes are at various stages of the legal process, including the administrative review phase and the collection action phase, and include assessments of fixed amounts of principal and penalties, plus interest charges that increase at statutorily determined amounts per month and are assessed on the aggregate amount of the principal and penalties. In addition, the losing party, at the collection action or court of appeals phase, could be subject to a charge to cover statutorily mandated legal fees, which are generally calculated as a percentage of the total assessed amounts due, inclusive of penalty and interest. Many of the claims relate to ICMS, services and social security tax disputes. The largest proportion of the assessed amounts relate to ICMS claims filed by the SPRA, encompassing the period from January 2002 to May 2005. In October 2009 the Company received notification of the SPRA’s final administrative decision regarding the levying of ICMS in the State of São Paulo in relation to services provided to a customer in the State between January 2004 and May 2005. As of December 31, 2021, the principal amount of the tax assessment from the SPRA with regard to this case is $1.1 million, with penalty, interest and fees assessed to date increasing such amount by an additional $15.4 million. On June 4, 2018, the Appellate Court of the State of Sao Paulo ruled in favor of the SPRA but ruled that the assessed penalty should be reduced to $1.1 million. After calculating the interest accrued on the penalty, the Company estimates that this ruling reduces the current overall potential liability for this case to approximately $7 million. All such amounts include the effect of foreign currency translation. The Company has appealed the ruling in favor of the SPRA to the Superior Court of Justice. Due to multiple court precedents in the Company's favor, as well as the Company's ability to appeal, the Company does not believe a loss is probable. Another ICMS tax case involving the SPRA refers to the tax period from January 2002 to December 2003. In December 2018, the administrative tribunal hearing the case upheld the Company's liability. The Company has appealed to the judicial phase. The aggregate amount assessed by the tax authorities in August 2005 was $4.5 million (the amounts with regard to this claim are valued as of the date of the assessment since it has not yet reached the collection phase), composed of a principal amount of $1.1 million, with penalty and interest assessed through that date increasing such amount by an additional $3.4 million. On December 6, 2018, the administrative tribunal reduced the applicable penalties to $0.8 million. After calculating the interest accrued on the current penalty, the Company estimates that the current overall liability for this case to be approximately $5 million. All such amounts include the effect of foreign currency translation. Due to multiple court precedents in the Company's favor the Company does not believe a loss is probable. The Company continues to believe that sufficient coverage for these claims exists as a result of the indemnification obligations of the Company's customer and such customer’s pledge of assets in connection with the October 2009 notice, as required by Brazilian law. On December 30, 2020, the Company received an assessment from the municipal authority in Ipatinga, Brazil alleging $1.9 million in unpaid service taxes from the period 2015 to 2020. After calculating the interest and penalties accrued, the Company estimates that the current overall potential liability for this case to be approximately $3 million. On January 18, 2021, the Company filed a challenge to the assessment. Due to the multiple defenses that are available, the Company does not believe a loss is probable. The Company intends to continue its practice of vigorously defending itself against these tax claims under various alternatives, including judicial appeal. The Company will continue to evaluate its potential liability with regard to these claims on a quarterly basis; however, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these tax-related disputes in Brazil. No loss provision has been recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the disputes described above because the loss contingency is not deemed probable, and the Company does not expect that any costs that are reasonably possible to be incurred by the Company in connection with Brazilian tax disputes would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Brazilian Labor Disputes The Company is subject to ongoing collective bargaining and individual labor claims in Brazil through the Harsco Environmental Segment which allege, among other things, the Company's failure to pay required amounts for overtime and vacation at certain sites. The Company is vigorously defending itself against these claims; however, litigation is inherently unpredictable, particularly in foreign jurisdictions. While the Company does not currently expect that the ultimate resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these labor-related disputes. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has established reserves of $3.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for amounts considered to be probable and estimable. Other The Company is named as one of many defendants (approximately 90 or more in most cases) in legal actions in the U.S. alleging personal injury from exposure to airborne asbestos over the past several decades. In their suits, the plaintiffs have named as defendants, among others, many manufacturers, distributors and installers of numerous types of equipment or products that allegedly contained asbestos. The Company believes that the claims against it are without merit. The Company has never been a producer, manufacturer or processor of asbestos fibers. Any asbestos-containing part of a Company product used in the past was purchased from a supplier and the asbestos encapsulated in other materials such that airborne exposure, if it occurred, was not harmful and is not associated with the types of injuries alleged in the pending actions. At December 31, 2021, there were approximately 17,240 pending asbestos personal injury actions filed against the Company. Of those actions, approximately 16,610 were filed in the New York Supreme Court (New York County), approximately 120 were filed in other New York State Supreme Court Counties and approximately 510 were filed in courts located in other states. The complaints in most of those actions generally follow a form that contains a standard damages demand of $20 million or $25 million, regardless of the individual plaintiff's alleged medical condition, and without identifying any specific Company product. At December 31, 2021, approximately 16,550 of the actions filed in New York Supreme Court (New York County) were on the Deferred/Inactive Docket created by the court in December 2002 for all pending and future asbestos actions filed by persons who cannot demonstrate that they have a malignant condition or discernible physical impairment. The remaining approximately 60 cases in New York County are pending on the Active or In Extremis Docket created for plaintiffs who can demonstrate a malignant condition or physical impairment. The Company has liability insurance coverage under various primary and excess policies that the Company believes will be available, if necessary, to substantially cover any liability that might ultimately be incurred in the asbestos actions referred to above. The costs and expenses of the asbestos actions are being paid by the Company’s insurers. In view of the persistence of asbestos litigation in the U.S., the Company expects to continue to receive additional claims in the future. The Company intends to continue its practice of vigorously defending these claims and cases. At December 31, 2021, the Company has obtained dismissal in approximately 28,360 cases by stipulation or summary judgment prior to trial. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of asbestos-related actions in the U.S. due to the unpredictable nature of this litigation, and no loss provision has been recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements because a loss contingency is not deemed probable or estimable. Despite this uncertainty, and although results of operations and cash flows for a given period could be adversely affected by asbestos-related actions, the Company does not expect that any costs that are reasonably possible to be incurred by the Company in connection with asbestos litigation would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is subject to various other claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arose in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all such matters are adequately covered by insurance or by established reserves, and, if not so covered, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, as would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Insurance liabilities are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred for a particular event and the amount of loss associated with the event can be reasonably estimated. Insurance reserves have been estimated based primarily upon actuarial calculations and reflect the undiscounted estimated liabilities for ultimate losses, including claims incurred but not reported. Inherent in these estimates are assumptions that are based on the Company's history of claims and losses, a detailed analysis of existing claims with respect to potential value, and current legal and legislative trends. If actual claims differ from those projected by management, changes (either increases or decreases) to insurance reserves may be required and would be recorded through income in the period the change was determined. When a recognized liability is covered by third-party insurance, the Company records an insurance claim receivable to reflect the covered liability. Insurance claim receivables are included in Insurance claim receivable and Other receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for additional information on Accrued insurance and loss reserves. |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The 2013 Equity and Incentive Plan as amended (the "2013 Plan") authorizes the i ssuance of up to 9.9 million shares of the Company's common stock for use in paying incentive compensation awards in the form of stock options or other equity awards such as restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs") or performance share units ("PSUs"). Of the 9.9 million shares authorized, a maximum of 6.5 million shares may be issued for awards other than option rights or SARs, as defined in the 2013 Plan. The 2016 Non-Employee Directors' Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan, as amended (the "2016 Plan") authorizes the issuance of up to 800 thousand shares of the Company's common stock for equity awards. Both plans have been approved by the Company's stockholders. At December 31, 2021, there were 2.4 million shares available for granting equity awards under the 2013 Plan, of which 1.8 million shares were available for awards other than option rights or SARs. At December 31, 2021, there were 430 thousand shares available for granting equity awards under the 2016 Plan. Restricted Stock Units The Board approves the granting of performance-based RSUs as the long-term equity component of director, officer and certain key employee compensation. The RSUs require no payment from the recipient and compensation cost is measured based on the market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date and is generally recorded over the vesting period. RSUs granted to officers and certain key employees in 2019, 2020 and 2021 either vest on a pro-rata basis over three years or upon obtainment of specified retirement or years of service criteria. The vesting period for RSUs granted to non-employee directors is one year and each RSU is exchanged for an equal number of shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting for awards issued under the 2016 Plan and following the termination of the participant's service as a director under prior plans. RSUs do not have an option for cash payment. The following table summarizes RSUs issued and the compensation expense from continuing operations recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019: RSUs (a) Weighted Average Fair Value Expense (Dollars in thousands, except per unit) 2021 2020 2019 Directors: 2018 43,821 20.54 — — 280 2019 14,211 25.33 — 120 240 2020 34,986 10.29 120 240 — 2021 23,224 21.53 333 — — Employees: 2016 536,773 7.09 — — 245 2017 286,251 13.70 — 85 763 2018 242,791 19.93 142 706 1,064 2019 270,864 22.25 1,239 1,270 1,524 2020 522,087 8.22 1,093 1,244 — 2021 343,125 18.62 1,892 — — Total $ 4,819 $ 3,665 $ 4,116 (a) Represents number of awards originally issued. RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 was as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Non-vested at December 31, 2020 686,287 $ 11.84 Granted 366,349 18.81 Vested (307,543) 13.33 Forfeited (32,249) 14.16 Non-vested at December 31, 2021 712,844 14.68 At December 31, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs was $6.0 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years . The total fair value of RSU's vested in 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $4.1 million, $4.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Stock Appreciation Rights The Board approves the granting of SARs to officers and certain key employees under the 2013 Plan. The SARs generally vest on a pro-rata three During 2019, the Company issued SARS covering 216,100 shares in March and 13,244 shares in July under the 2013 Plan. During 2020, the Company issued SARS covering 785,152 shares in March and 20,526 in October under the 2013 Plan. During 2021, the Company issued SARS covering 184,641 shares in March under the 2013 Plan. The fair value of each SAR grant was estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: Risk-free Interest rate Dividend Yield Expected Life (Years) Volatility SAR Grant Price Fair Value of SAR March 2019 Grant 2.52 % — % 6.0 46.2 % 22.51 10.62 July 2019 Grant 1.84 % — % 6.0 47.1 % 27.39 12.80 March 2020 Grant 0.76 % — % 6.0 45.2 % 10.29 3.03 October 2020 Grant 0.44 % — % 6.0 60.3 % 14.89 8.12 March 2021 Grant 0.91 % — % 6.0 61.9 % 18.58 10.48 The March 2020 Grant's fair value was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation because the exercise price is greater than the fair value of Harsco common stock on the grant date. SARs activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 was as follows: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) (b) Outstanding, December 31, 2020 2,401,131 $ 14.37 $ 11.7 Granted 184,641 18.58 Exercised (107,413) 10.81 Forfeited/Expired (84,304) 17.31 Outstanding, December 31, 2021 2,394,055 14.75 8.6 (b) Intrinsic value is defined as the difference between the current market value and the exercise price, for those SARs where the market price exceeds the exercise price. The total intrinsic value of SARs exercised in 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $0.6 million, $0.5 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments Off-Balance Sheet Risk As collateral for the Company's performance and to insurers, the Company is contingently liable under standby letters of credit, bonds, bank guarantees and performance guarantees in the amounts of $519.4 million, $410.6 million and $281.8 million at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The expiration periods of the standby letters of credit, bonds and bank guarantees range from less than 1 year to over 5 years. but the majority are generally in force for up to 2 years. Certain issues have no scheduled expiration date. The Company pays fees to various banks and insurance companies that range from 0.4% to 3.8% per annum of the instrument's face value. If the Company were required to obtain replacement standby letters of credit, bonds and bank guarantees at December 31, 2021 for those currently outstanding, it is the Company's opinion that the replacement costs would be within the present fee structure. The Company has currency exposures in approximately 30 countries. The Company's primary foreign currency exposures during 2021 were in the European Union, the U.K., Brazil and China. Off-Balance Sheet Risk—Third-Party Guarantees Any liabilities related to the Company's obligation to stand ready to act on third-party guarantees are included in Other current liabilities or Other liabilities (as appropriate) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any recognition of these liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations for 2021, 2020 or 2019. In the normal course of business, legal indemnifications are provided related primarily to the performance of the Company's products and services and patent and trademark infringement of the products and services sold. These indemnifications generally relate to the performance (regarding function, not price) of the respective products or services and therefore no liability is recognized related to the fair value of such guarantees. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company uses derivative instruments, including foreign currency exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and CCIRs, to manage certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Derivative instruments are viewed as risk management tools by the Company and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply, or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs, such as forward rates, interest rates, the Company’s credit risk and counterparties’ credit risks, and which minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the ability to observe those inputs. Foreign currency exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and CCIRs are based upon pricing models using market-based inputs (Level 2). Model inputs can be verified and valuation techniques do not involve significant management judgment. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that the Company believes market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which give the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: • Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. • Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including 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; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. • Level 3—Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. In instances in which multiple levels of inputs are used to measure fair value, hierarchy classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The fair value of outstanding derivative contracts recorded as assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was as follows: (In thousands) Balance Sheet Location Fair Value of Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments Fair Value of Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Total Fair Value December 31, 2021 Asset derivatives (Level 2): Foreign currency exchange forward contracts Other current assets $ 719 $ 1,405 $ 2,124 Total $ 719 $ 1,405 $ 2,124 Liability derivatives (Level 2): Foreign currency exchange forward contracts Other current liabilities $ 560 $ 2,905 $ 3,465 Interest rate swaps Other current liabilities 4,157 — 4,157 Total $ 4,717 $ 2,905 $ 7,622 (In thousands) Balance Sheet Location Fair Value of Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments Fair Value of Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Total Fair Value December 31, 2020 Asset derivatives (Level 2): Foreign currency exchange forward contracts Other current assets $ 900 $ 2,777 $ 3,677 Total $ 900 $ 2,777 $ 3,677 Liability derivatives (Level 2): Foreign currency exchange forward contracts Other current liabilities $ 950 $ 4,098 $ 5,048 Interest rate swaps Other current liabilities 3,959 — 3,959 Interest rate swaps Other liabilities 3,718 — 3,718 Total $ 8,627 $ 4,098 $ 12,725 All of the Company's derivatives are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at gross amounts and not offset. All of the Company's interest rate swaps, CCIRs and certain foreign currency exchange forward contracts are transacted under ISDA documentation. Each ISDA master agreement permits the net settlement of amounts owed in the event of default. The Company's derivative assets and liabilities subject to enforceable master netting arrangements, if offset, would have resulted in a $0.9 million net liability at December 31, 2021 and at December 31, 2020 would not have resulted in a net asset or liability.

Foreign Currency Exchange Forward Contracts The Company conducts business in multiple currencies and, accordingly, is subject to the inherent risks associated with foreign exchange rate movements. Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge cash flows related to foreign currency fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange forward contracts outstanding are part of a worldwide program to minimize foreign currency exchange operating income and balance sheet exposure by offsetting foreign currency exposures of certain future payments between the Company and various subsidiaries, suppliers or customers. The unsecured contracts are with major financial institutions. The Company may be exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the contract counterparties. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of the counterparties and does not expect default by them. Foreign currency exchange forward contracts are used to hedge commitments, such as foreign currency debt, firm purchase commitments and foreign currency cash flows for certain export sales transactions. Changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge foreign currency denominated balance sheet items are reported directly in earnings, along with offsetting transaction gains and losses on the items being hedged. Derivatives used to hedge forecasted cash flows associated with foreign currency commitments may be accounted for as cash flow hedges, as deemed appropriate, if the criteria for hedge accounting are met. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in AOCI, a separate component of equity, and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. The ineffective portion of all hedges, if any, is recognized currently in earnings. The recognized gains and losses offset amounts recognized in cost of services and products sold principally as a result of intercompany or third-party foreign currency exposures. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the notional amounts of foreign currency exchange forward contracts were $425.8 million and $460.5 million, respectively. These contracts primarily hedge British pounds sterling and euros against other currencies and mature through March 2023. In addition to foreign currency exchange forward contracts, the Company designates certain loans as hedges of net investments in international subsidiaries. The Company recorded pre-tax net gains of $2.7 million, $0.4 million and $7.7 million related to hedges of net investments during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in AOCI. Interest Rate Swaps The Company uses interest rate swaps in conjunction with certain variable rate debt issuances in order to secure a fixed interest rate. Changes in the fair value attributed to the effect of the swaps’ interest spread and changes in the credit worthiness of the counter-parties are recorded in AOCI. At December 31, 2021, the Company has entered into a series of interest rate swaps that are in effect through 2022 and have the effect of converting $200.0 million of the New Term Loan from floating-rate to fixed-rate. The fixed-rates provided by the swaps replace the adjusted LIBOR rate in the interest calculation, ranging from 2.71% for 2021 to 3.12% for 2022. In 2019, the Company terminated certain interest rate swaps in conjunction with the issuance of its Senior Notes. The Company paid $2.8 million and recognized a loss of $2.7 million related to these terminations in Income (loss) from discontinued businesses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the interest rate swaps were deemed ineffective and thus the subsequent changes in fair value were recorded in earnings in the current period. Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps The Company may use CCIRs in conjunction with certain debt issuances in order to secure a fixed local currency interest rate. Under these CCIRs, the Company receives interest based on a fixed or floating U.S. dollar rate and pays interest on a fixed local currency rate based on the contractual amounts in dollars and the local currency, respectively. At maturity, there is also the payment of principal amounts between currencies. Changes in the fair value attributed to the effect of the swaps' interest spread and changes in the credit worthiness of the counter-parties are recorded in AOCI. Changes in value attributed to the effect of foreign currency fluctuations are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and offset currency fluctuation effects on the debt principal. The Company had no outstanding CCIRs at December 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the total fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $1,394.2 million and $1,324.9 million, respectively, compared with a carrying value of $1,387.9 million and $1,300.5 million, respectively. Fair values for debt are based upon pricing models using market-based inputs (Level 2) for similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any single institution. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable exist in the Company's Harsco Environmental Segment which have several large customers throughout the world with significant accounts receivable balances. Consolidation in the global steel or rail industries could result in an increase in concentration of credit risk for the Company. The Clean Earth Segment also has significant sales to several U.S. customers. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables. If a receivable from one or more of the Company's larger customers becomes uncollectible, it could have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or cash flows. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Information by Segment and Geographic Area | Information by Segment and Geographic Area The Company reports information about operating segments using the "management approach," which is based on the way management organizes and reports the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company's reportable segments are identified based upon differences in products, services and markets served. In 2021, the Company had two reportable segments. These segments and the types of products and services offered include the following: Harsco Environmental The Segment provides environmental services and material processing to the global steel and metals industries. The Segment partners with its global customer base to deliver production-critical on-site operational support and resource recovery services, through management of its customers’ primary waste or byproduct streams. The Segment's services support the metal manufacturing process, generating significant operational and financial efficiencies for its customers and allowing them to focus on their core steelmaking businesses. In addition, this Segment creates value-added downstream products from industrial waste streams. Harsco Clean Earth The Segment is one of the largest specialty waste processing companies in the U.S., providing processing and beneficial reuse solutions for hazardous wastes, and soil and dredged materials. Other Information The measurement basis of segment profit or loss is operating income. There are no significant inter-segment sales. Corporate assets, at December 31, 2021 and 2020, include principally cash, prepaid taxes, fair value of derivative instruments and U.S. deferred income taxes. Countries with revenues from unaffiliated customers or net property, plant and equipment of ten percent or more of the consolidated totals (in at least one period presented) are as follows: Information by Geographic Area (a) Revenues from Unaffiliated Customers Twelve Months Ended December 31 (In thousands) 2021 2020 2019 U.S. $ 1,008,689 $ 830,699 $ 420,956 U.K. 117,529 116,425 126,660 All Other 722,181 586,909 656,753 Totals including Corporate $ 1,848,399 $ 1,534,033 $ 1,204,369 (a) Revenues are attributed to individual countries based on the location of the facility generating the revenue.

One customer provided in excess of 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues in 2019. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Harsco Environmental Segment had one customer that provided in excess of 10% of this Segment's revenues under multiple long-term contracts at several mill sites. Should additional consolidations occur involving some of the steel industry's larger companies which are customers of the Company, it would result in an increase in concentration of credit risk for the Company. The loss of any one of the contracts would not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position or cash flows; however, it could have a significant effect on quarterly or annual results of operations. In 2021 and 2020, Harsco Clean Earth had one customer that provided in excess of 10% of the Segment's revenue and, in 2019, no customers in excess of 10% of the Segment's revenues. The loss of this customer would not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial positions or cash flows; however, it could have a material effect on quarterly or annual results of operations.

A summary of the Company's revenues by primary geographical markets as well as by key product and service groups is as follows: Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2021 (In thousands) Harsco Harsco Consolidated Totals Primary Geographical Markets (a)(b) : North America $ 281,124 $ 780,317 $ 1,061,441 Western Europe 442,286 — 442,286 Latin America (c) 132,349 — 132,349 Asia-Pacific 110,790 — 110,790 Middle East and Africa 81,337 — 81,337 Eastern Europe 20,196 — 20,196 Total Revenues $ 1,068,082 $ 780,317 $ 1,848,399 Key Product and Service Groups (a) : Environmental services related to resource recovery for metals manufacturing; and related logistical services $ 920,579 $ — $ 920,579 Ecoproducts 132,389 — 132,389 Environmental systems for aluminum dross and scrap processing 15,114 — 15,114 Waste processing and reuse solutions — 780,317 780,317 Total Revenues $ 1,068,082 $ 780,317 $ 1,848,399 Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2020 (In thousands) Harsco Environmental Segment Harsco Consolidated Totals Primary Geographical Markets (a)(b) : North America $ 249,904 $ 619,588 $ 869,492 Western Europe 377,066 — 377,066 Latin America (c) 119,457 — 119,457 Asia-Pacific 87,608 — 87,608 Middle East and Africa 63,427 — 63,427 Eastern Europe 16,983 — 16,983 Total Revenues $ 914,445 $ 619,588 $ 1,534,033 Key Product and Service Groups (a) : Environmental services related to resource recovery for metals manufacturing; and related logistical services $ 781,060 $ — $ 781,060 Ecoproducts 120,432 — 120,432 Environmental systems for aluminum dross and scrap processing 12,953 — 12,953 Waste processing and reuse solutions — 619,588 619,588 Total Revenues $ 914,445 $ 619,588 $ 1,534,033 Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2019 (In thousands) Harsco Environmental Segment Harsco Consolidated Totals Primary Geographical Markets (b) : North America $ 294,367 $ 169,522 $ 463,889 Western Europe 386,593 — 386,593 Latin America (c) 146,040 — 146,040 Asia-Pacific 128,949 — 128,949 Middle East and Africa 60,402 — 60,402 Eastern Europe 18,496 — 18,496 Total Revenues $ 1,034,847 $ 169,522 $ 1,204,369 Key Product and Service Groups: Environmental services related to resource recovery for metals manufacturing; and related logistical services $ 888,851 $ — $ 888,851 Ecoproducts 127,874 — 127,874 Environmental systems for aluminum dross and scrap processing 18,122 — 18,122 Waste processing and reuse solutions — 169,522 169,522 Total Revenues $ 1,034,847 $ 169,522 $ 1,204,369 (a) The Company acquired ESOL in 2020 and Clean Earth in 2019. The results of both are included in the Harsco Clean Earth Segment. The operating results of the former Harsco Rail Segment and Harsco Industrial Segment have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 3, Acquisition and Dispositions, for additional details. (b) Revenues are attributed to individual countries based on the location of the facility generating the revenue. (c) Includes Mexico. The Company may receive payments in advance of earning revenue (advances on contracts), which are included in Other current liabilities and Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company may recognize revenue in advance of being able to contractually invoice the customer (contract assets), which is included in Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract assets are transferred to Trade accounts receivable, net, when right to payment becomes unconditional. Contract assets and advances on contracts are reported as a net position, on a contract-by-contract basis, at the end of each reporting period. The Company had contract assets totaling $3.1 million at December 31, 2021 and $2.5 million at December 31, 2020. The increase is due principally to additional contract assets recognized in excess of the transfer of contract assets to accounts receivable. The Company had advances on contracts totaling $4.1 million at December 31, 2021 and $2.7 million at December 31, 2020. The increase is due principally to the receipts of new advances on contracts in excess of the recognition of revenue on previously received advances on contracts during the period. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized approximately $15 million of revenue related to amounts previously included in advances on contracts. |

Other Expenses | Other (Income) Expenses, Net The major components of this Consolidated Statements of Operations caption are as follows: (In thousands) 2021 2020 2019 Net gains Harsco Environmental Segment $ (8,902) $ (3,723) $ (6,303) Employee termination benefit costs Harsco Environmental Segment 2,852 9,389 1,254 Clean Earth Segment 433 833 1,960 Corporate 1,481 27 1,012 Total employee termination benefit costs 4,766 10,249 4,226 Other costs to exit activities Harsco Environmental Segment 640 504 970 Clean Earth Segment 23 — — Corporate — 29 196 Total other costs to exit activities 663 533 1,166 Impaired asset write-downs Harsco Environmental Segment 942 776 632 Clean Earth Segment 63 — — Total impaired asset write-downs 1,005 776 632 Contingent consideration adjustments Harsco Environmental Segment — — (8,506) Harsco Clean Earth Segment — 112 825 Corporate — 2,274 — Total contingent consideration adjustments — 2,386 (7,681) Other income (1,254) (149) (234) Total other (income) expenses, net $ (3,722) $ 10,072 $ (8,194) Net Gains Net gains result from the sales of redundant properties (primarily land, buildings and related equipment) and non-core assets. In 2021, gains related to assets sold principally in Western Europe. In 2020, gains related to assets sold principally in Latin America and Western Europe. In 2019, gains related to assets sold principally in Asia Pacific and North America; as well as a cumulative translation adjustment resulting from the substantial liquidation of a subsidiary in Western Europe. Employee Termination Benefit Costs Costs and the related liabilities associated with involuntary termination benefit costs for one-time benefit arrangements provided as part of an exit or disposal activity are recognized when a formal plan for reorganization is approved at the appropriate level of management and is communicated to the affected employees. Additionally, costs associated with ongoing benefit arrangements, or in certain countries where statutory requirements dictate a minimum required benefit, are recognized when they are probable and estimable. The employee termination benefit costs in 2021 principally related to the Harsco Environmental Segment primarily in Western Europe and Asia Pacific; and the Harsco Corporate segment primarily in North America. The employee termination benefits costs in 2020 principally related to the Harsco Environmental Segment primarily in Western Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific. The employee termination benefits costs in 2019 principally related to the Harsco Clean Earth Segment primarily in North America; and the Harsco Environmental Segment primarily in Asia Pacific and Western Europe. Other Costs to Exit Activities Costs associated with exit or disposal activities include costs to terminate a contract and other costs associated with exit or disposal activities. Costs to terminate a contract are recognized when an entity terminates the contract or when an entity ceases using the right conveyed by the contract. This includes the costs to terminate the contract before the end of its term or the costs that will continue to be incurred under the contract for its remaining term without economic benefit to the entity. Other costs associated with exit or disposal activities (e.g., costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate equipment or employees) are recognized and measured at their fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred. In 2021, exit costs were incurred principally in the Harsco Environmental Segment, mostly in North America. In 2020 and 2019, exit costs were incurred in the Harsco Environmental Segment across several regions. Impaired Asset Write-downs Impaired asset write-downs are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of assets exceeds their fair value. Fair value is estimated based upon the expected future realizable cash flows including anticipated selling prices. Non-cash impaired asset write-downs are included in, Other, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash provided by operating activities. In all years presented, impaired asset write-downs were incurred primarily in the Harsco Environmental Segment across several regions. Contingent Consideration Adjustments The Company acquired Clean Earth in 2019. Included in liabilities acquired was a contingent liability resulting from a prior Clean Earth acquisition. In 2018, the Company acquired Altek, which is included in the Harsco Environmental Segment, and the purchase price included contingent consideration based on the performance of Altek through 2021. Each quarter until settlement of the related contingencies, the Company assesses the likelihood that the acquired businesses will achieve performance goals and the resulting fair value of the contingent consideration and any future adjustments (increases or decreases) are included in operating results. The Company's acquisition of Clean Earth included an agreement to reimburse the sellers for any usage of assumed net operating losses in a post-closing period for up to five years. In 2020, Corporate recorded an adjustment related to the expected reimbursement of these net operating losses. Other Income Other income in 2021 relates principally to compensation received for a site previously exited in the Harsco Environmental Segment. |

Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments that are highly liquid in nature and have an original maturity of three months or less. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The Company had restricted cash of $4.2 million and $3.2 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the restrictions are primarily related to collateral provided for certain guarantees of the Company’s performance. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are accounted for using the average cost, first-in, first-out ("FIFO"), or last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. Inventory accounted for under the average cost and FIFO methods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory accounted for under the LIFO method is stated at the lower of cost or market. See Note 5, Inventories, for additional information. |
Depreciation | Depreciation Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using, principally, the straight-line method. When property, plant and equipment is retired from service, the cost of the retirement is charged to the allowance for depreciation to the extent of the accumulated depreciation and the balance is charged to income. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are not depreciated while they are classified as held-for-sale. |
Leases | Leases The Company leases certain property and equipment under noncancelable lease agreements. The Company determines if a contract or arrangement contains a lease at inception. All leases are evaluated and classified as either an operating or finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met: (i) ownership of the underlying asset transfers to the Company by the end of the lease term; (ii) the lease contains an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably expected to exercise; (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; (iv) the present value of the sum of lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the Company equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; or (v) the underlying asset is of a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease that does not meet any of the criteria to be classified as a finance lease is classified as an operating lease. Operating leases are included as Right-of-use assets, net, Current portion of operating lease liabilities, and Operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate for use in determining the present value of future payments, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate. This incremental borrowing rate reflects the creditworthiness of the Company for a lending period commensurate to the term of the lease and the standard lending practices related to such loans in the respective jurisdiction where the underlying assets are located. ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including rent abatement periods and rent holidays. Certain of the Company's leases are subject to annual changes in an index or are subject to adjustments for which the amounts are not readily determinable at lease inception. While lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes to these costs, changes are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred. Finance leases are included as Property, plant and equipment, net; Current maturities of long-term debt and Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease costs are split between depreciation expense related to the asset and interest expense on the lease liability, using the effective rate charged by the lessor. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Business Combinations and Goodwill The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control is obtained, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, be recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The determination of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of cash flow projections, revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, discount rates and useful lives. Such estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, and, when appropriate, include assistance from independent third-party valuation firms. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with corresponding offsets to goodwill. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist or if a decision is made to dispose of a business. Goodwill is allocated among and evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment for which discrete financial information is available. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include declining cash flows or operating losses at the reporting unit level, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel or a more likely than not expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of, among others. In applying the goodwill impairment test, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative test or a quantitative test . Under the qualitative test, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting unit and other entity and reporting unit specific events. If after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines it is “more-likely-than-not” that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company would perform a quantitative test. The quantitative approach of testing for goodwill impairment involves comparing the current fair value of each reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model (“DCF model”) to estimate the current fair value of reporting units, as management believes forecasted operating cash flows are the best indicator of current fair value. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the preparation of DCF models including future revenues and operating margin growth, the weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”), tax rates, capital spending, pension funding, the impact of business initiatives and working capital projections. These assumptions and estimates may vary significantly among reporting units. DCF models are based on approved long-range plans for the early years and historical relationships and projections for later years. WACC rates are derived from internal and external factors including, but not |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Other than Goodwill) | Long-Lived Assets Impairments (Other than Goodwill)Long-lived assets or asset groups are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets or asset groups are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate the book value of an asset or asset group may be impaired. The Company's policy is to determine if an impairment loss exists when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds its fair value, normally as determined in either open market transactions or through the use of a DCF model. Long-lived assets or asset groups to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. |
Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs The Company has incurred debt issuance costs which are recognized as a reduction of Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Debt issuance costs are amortized and recognized as interest expense over the contractual term of the related indebtedness or shorter period if appropriate based upon contractual terms. Whenever indebtedness is modified from its original terms, an evaluation is made whether an accounting modification or extinguishment has occurred in order to determine the accounting treatment for debt issuance costs related to the debt modification. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenues to depict the transfer of promised services and products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services or products. Service revenues include the Harsco Clean Earth Segment and the service components of the Harsco Environmental Segment. Product revenues include portions of the Harsco Environmental Segment. Harsco Environmental - This Segment provides on-site services, under long-term contracts, for material logistics; product quality improvement and resource recovery from iron, steel and metals manufacturing; manufactures and sells industrial abrasives and roofing granule products; and manufactures aluminum dross and scrap processing systems. • Service revenues are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives the benefits provided by the Company's performance. The Company utilizes an output method based on work performed (liquid steel tons processed, weight of material handled, etc.) to measure progress, which is deemed to best depict the transfer of value to the customer and revenue earned by the Company. Transaction prices are based on contractual terms, which may include both fixed and variable portions. The fixed portion is recognized as earned (normally monthly) over the contractual period. The variable portion is recognized as services are performed and differs based on the volume of services performed. Given the long-term nature of these arrangements, most contracts permit periodic adjustment of either the variable or both the fixed and variable portions based on the changes in macroeconomic indicators, including changes in commodity prices. Transaction prices, when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, are allocated to performance obligations utilizing an expected cost plus a margin approach. Amounts are typically billed and payable on a monthly basis as services are performed. • Product revenues are recognized at the point when control transfers to the customer. Control generally transfers at the point of shipment for domestic orders and in accordance with the international commercial terms included in contracts for export sales. Transaction prices are based on contractual terms, which are generally fixed and when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, allocated to performance obligations utilizing an adjusted market assessment approach. Amounts are billed and payable upon completion of each transaction. • Product revenues in the aluminum dross and scrap process systems business are generally recognized over time as control is transferred to the customer. Control transfers over time because aluminum dross and scrap systems are customized, have no alternate use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment. The Company utilizes an input method based on costs incurred ("cost-to-cost method") to measure progress, which is deemed to best depict the transfer of value to the customer and revenue earned by the Company. Transaction prices are based on contractual terms, which are generally fixed, and when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, allocated to performance obligations utilizing an adjusted market assessment approach. The Company may receive periodic payments associated with key milestones with any remaining consideration billed and payable upon completion of the transaction. Harsco Clean Earth - This Segment provides specialty waste processing and beneficial reuse solutions for hazardous wastes, and soil and dredged materials. • Revenues are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives the benefits provided by the Company's performance. The Company utilizes an output method based on the amount of materials received for processing to measure progress, which is deemed to best depict the transfer of value to the customer and revenue earned by the Company. Transaction prices are based on contractual terms which are principally variable based on volume and recognized as services are performed. Transaction prices, when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, are allocated to performance obligations utilizing an expected cost plus a margin approach. Amounts are typically billed and payable on a monthly basis. Harsco Rail - This business sells railway track maintenance equipment, after-market parts, Protran/safety equipment and provides railway track maintenance services. • For standard railway track maintenance equipment sales, revenue is recognized at the point when control transfers to the customer. Control generally transfers at the point of shipment for domestic orders and in accordance with the international commercial terms included in contracts for export sales. In certain railway track maintenance equipment sales, revenue is recognized over time because such equipment is highly customized, has no alternate use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment. The former Harsco Rail Segment uses the cost-to-cost method to measure progress because it is the measure that best depicts the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs as the former Harsco Rail Segment incurs costs under the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion which includes both actual costs already incurred and the estimated costs to complete. Accounting for contracts with customers using the cost-to-cost method requires significant judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenues (including estimates of variable consideration, if applicable, as well as estimating any liquidating damages or penalties related to performance), estimating contract costs (including estimating engineering costs to design the machine and the material, labor and overhead manufacturing costs to build the machine); making assumptions for schedule and technical items; properly executing the engineering and design phases consistent with customer expectations; the availability and costs of labor and material resources; productivity; and evaluating whether a significant financing component is present. Due to the number of years it may take to complete certain contracts and the scope and nature of the work required to be performed on those contracts, estimating total revenues and costs at completion is inherently complicated and subject to many variables. Transaction prices are based on contracted terms, which are generally fixed, and when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, allocated to performance obligations utilizing either the adjusted market assessment or expected cost plus a margin approach. For certain transactions, the Company receives periodic payments associated with key milestones. In limited instances, those payments are intended to provide financing with such transactions being treated as including a significant financing component. Any remaining consideration is billed and payable upon completion of the transaction. Railway track maintenance equipment revenue of approximately $102 million was recognized using the cost-to-cost method in 2021, the net profit or loss of which is included in Income (loss) from discontinued businesses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. • For after-market parts sales and Protran/safety equipment, revenue is recognized at the point when control transfers to the customer. Control generally transfers to the customer at the point of shipment for domestic orders and in accordance with the international commercial terms included in contracts for export sales. Transaction prices are based on contracted terms, which are generally fixed, and when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, allocated to performance obligations utilizing an adjusted market assessment approach. Amounts are billed and payable upon completion of each contract. • For railway track maintenance services, revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives the benefits provided by the Company's performance. The Company utilizes an appropriate output method based on work performed (feet, miles, shifts worked, etc.) to measure progress, which is deemed to best depict the transfer of value to the customer and revenue earned by the Company. Transaction prices are based on contracted terms, which are generally variable. The variable portion is recognized as services are performed and differs based on the value of services. Given the long-term nature of these arrangements, most contracts permit periodic adjustment based on the changes in macroeconomic indicators. Transaction prices, when the standalone selling price is not directly observable, are allocated to performance obligations utilizing an expected cost plus a margin approach. Amounts are typically billed and payable on a monthly basis as services are performed. The Company has elected to utilize the following practical expedients on an ongoing basis: • The Company has not adjusted the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers the promised good or services to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service would be one year or less; and • The Company has elected to exclude disclosures related to unsatisfied performance obligations where the related contract has a duration of one year or less; or where the consideration is entirely variable. Accordingly, the Company's disclosure related to unsatisfied performance obligations is limited to the fixed portion of fees related to metals services in the Harsco Environmental Segment. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Additionally, in certain contracts, the Company facilitates shipping and handling activities after control has transferred to the customer. The Company has elected to record all shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill a contract. In situations where the shipping and handling costs have not been incurred at the time revenue is recognized, the respective shipping and handling costs are accrued. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes 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 the 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 consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes that these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determinations, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial results. If the Company determines that it will not be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future, a valuation allowance is recorded. If sufficient positive evidence arises in the future indicating that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets meet the more likely than not standard for realization, the valuation allowance would be reduced accordingly in the period that such a conclusion is reached. The Company prepares and files tax returns based on interpretation of tax laws and regulations and records its provision for income taxes based on these interpretations. Uncertainties may exist in estimating the Company's tax provisions and in filing tax returns in the many jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and as a result these interpretations may give rise to an uncertain tax position. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on its technical merits. Each subsequent period the Company determines if existing or new uncertain tax positions meet a more likely than not recognition threshold and adjusts accordingly. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within Income tax expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The significant assumptions and estimates described in the preceding paragraphs are important contributors to the effective tax rate each year. |
Accrued Insurance and Loss Reserves | Accrued Insurance and Loss Reserves The Company retains a significant portion of the risk for certain U.S. workers' compensation, U.K. employers' liability, automobile, general and product liability losses. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded insurance expense from continuing operations related to these lines of coverage of $25.6 million, $21.1 million and $12.5 million, respectively. Reserves have been recorded that reflect the undiscounted estimated liabilities including claims incurred but not reported. When a recognized liability is covered by third-party insurance, the Company records an insurance claim receivable to reflect the covered liability. Changes in the estimates of the reserves are included in net income(loss) in the period determined. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded insurance reserve adjustments that decreased pre-tax insurance expense |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency TranslationThe financial statements of the Company's subsidiaries outside the U.S., except for those subsidiaries located in highly inflationary economies and those entities for which the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account, a separate component of AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and expense items are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Operating income from continuing operations. For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, and those entities for which the U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates, gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and balance sheet translation adjustments are included in Operating income from continuing operations. |
Financial Instruments and Hedging | Financial Instruments and Hedging The Company has operations throughout the world that are exposed to fluctuations in related foreign currencies in the normal course of business. The Company seeks to reduce exposure to foreign currency fluctuations through the use of forward exchange contracts. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and it is the Company's policy to prohibit the use of derivatives for speculative purposes. The Company has a Foreign Currency Risk Management Committee that meets periodically to monitor foreign currency risks. The Company executes foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge transactions for firm purchase commitments, to hedge variable cash flows of forecasted transactions and for export sales denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts are generally for 90 days or less; however, where appropriate, longer-term contracts may be utilized. For those contracts that are designated as qualified cash flow hedges, gains or losses are recorded in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company uses interest rate swaps in conjunction with certain debt issuances in order to secure a fixed interest rate. The interest rate swaps are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, with changes in value attributed to the effect of the swaps’ interest spread and changes in the credit worthiness of the counter-parties recorded in AOCI. Amounts recorded in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are reclassified into income in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects income. The cash flows from these contracts are classified consistent with the cash flows from the transaction being hedged (e.g., the cash flows related to contracts to hedge the purchase of fixed assets are included in cash flows from investing activities, etc.). The Company also enters into certain forward exchange contracts that are not designated as hedges. Gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in operations based on changes in fair market value. For fair value hedges of a firm commitment, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged firm commitment are recognized currently in operations. |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per ShareBasic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, while diluted earnings per share reflect the dilutive effects of stock-based compensation. Dilutive securities are not included in the computation of loss per share when the Company reports a net loss from continuing operations as the impact would be anti-dilutive. All share and per share amounts are restated for any stock splits and stock dividends that occur prior to the issuance of the financial statements. |
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements | Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Impact of COVID-19 Beginning in early 2020, overall global economic conditions were significantly impacted by COVID-19. The Company operated, since the onset of the pandemic, as a provider of certain essential services in the U.S. and other countries and overall business conditions have strengthened since the second quarter of 2020. The ultimate duration and impact of COVID-19 on the Company and its customers' operations is presently unclear, though the Company continues to operate as a provider of certain essential services in the U.S and other countries. The Company did not record any long-lived asset impairments, indefinite-lived asset impairments, goodwill impairments, significant inventory write-downs or incremental accounts receivable reserves for current expected credit losses during the year ended December 31, 2021 related to COVID-19. However, such charges are possible in future periods, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's future results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. |
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards The following accounting standards have been adopted in 2021: On January 1, 2021 the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB which are intended to reduce complexity and simplify the accounting for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP by removing certain exceptions related to investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations and clarifying existing guidance to improve consistent application. These changes did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The following accounting standards have been issued and become effective for the Company at a future date: In March 2020, the FASB issued changes that provide companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. In response to the concerns about risks of IBORs and, particularly, the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. The changes provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued additional clarification changes. The changes can be adopted no later than December 31, 2022 with early adoption permitted. Management does not believe these changes will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued changes which simplified the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The changes become effective January 1, 2022. Management has concluded that this standard will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In November 2021, the FASB issued changes that improve the transparency of government assistance received by entities. The changes require disclosure of the nature of transactions, including significant terms and conditions, accounting policies used, and financial statement line items affected by the transactions. The changes become effective January 1, 2022. Other than required expanded disclosures, the adoption of these changes will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |
