Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Practices | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES Description of the Business Astronics Corporation (“Astronics” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of advanced technologies to the global aerospace, defense, electronics and semiconductor industries. Our products and services include advanced, high-performance electrical power generation, distribution and motion systems, lighting and safety systems, avionics products, systems certification, aircraft structures and automated test systems. We have operations in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and France. We design and build our products through our wholly owned subsidiaries Astronics Advanced Electronic Systems Corp. (“AES”); Astronics AeroSat Corporation (“AeroSat”); Armstrong Aerospace, Inc. (“Armstrong”); Astronics Test Systems, Inc. (“ATS”); Ballard Technology, Inc. (“Ballard”); Astronics Connectivity Systems and Certification Corp. ("CSC"); Astronics Custom Control Concepts Inc. ("CCC"); Astronics DME LLC (“DME”); Luminescent Systems, Inc. (“LSI”); Luminescent Systems Canada, Inc. (“LSI Canada”); Max-Viz, Inc. (“Max-Viz”); Peco, Inc. (“Peco”); and PGA Electronic s.a. (“PGA”). At December 31, 2017, the Company has two reportable segments, Aerospace and Test Systems. The Aerospace segment designs and manufactures products for the global aerospace industry. Our Test Systems segment designs, develops, manufactures and maintains automated test systems that support the semiconductor, aerospace, communications and weapons test systems as well as training and simulation devices for both commercial and military applications. On January 14, 2015 , the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Armstrong for approximately $52.3 million in cash. Armstrong, located in Itasca, Illinois, is a leading provider of engineering, design and certification solutions for commercial aircraft, specializing in connectivity, in-flight entertainment, and electrical power systems. Armstrong is included in our Aerospace segment. On April 3, 2017, Astronics Custom Control Concepts Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of Custom Control Concepts LLC, located in Kent, Washington. CCC is a provider of cabin management and in-flight entertainment systems for a range of aircraft. The total consideration for the transaction was approximately $10.2 million , net of $0.5 million in cash acquired. CCC is included in our Aerospace segment. On December 1, 2017, Astronics acquired substantially all of the assets of Telefonix Inc. and a related company Product Development Technologies, LLC and its subsidiaries, to become CSC, located in Waukegan and Lake Zurich, Illinois. CSC designs and manufactures advanced in-flight entertainment and connectivity equipment, and provides industry leading design consultancy services for the global aerospace industry. Under the terms of the Agreement, the total consideration for the transaction was approximately $103.8 million , net of $0.2 million in cash acquired. CSC is included in our Aerospace Segment. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method and, accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. For additional information on the acquired businesses, see Note 18. Revenue Recognition The vast majority of our sales agreements are for standard products and services, with revenue recognized on the accrual basis at the time of shipment of goods, transfer of title and customer acceptance, where required. There are no significant contracts allowing for right of return. To a limited extent at ATS, certain contracts involve multiple elements (such as equipment and service). Service revenues were not material for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 . The Company recognizes revenue for delivered elements when they have stand-alone value to the customer, they have been accepted by the customer, and for which there are only customary refund or return rights. Arrangement consideration is allocated to the deliverables by use of the relative selling price method. The selling price used for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third party-evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Estimated selling price is determined in a manner consistent with that used to establish the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. For prepaid service contracts, sales revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, unless historical evidence indicates the costs are incurred on other than a straight-line basis. Revenue of approximately $21.0 million , $20.7 million and $17.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively, was recognized from long-term, fixed-price contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, measured by multiplying the estimated total contract value by the ratio of actual contract costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs. The Company makes significant estimates involving its usage of percentage-of-completion accounting to recognize contract revenues. The Company periodically reviews contracts in process for estimates-to-completion, and revises estimated gross profit accordingly. While the Company believes its estimated gross profit on contracts in process is reasonable, unforeseen events and changes in circumstances can take place in a subsequent accounting period that may cause the Company to revise its estimated gross profit on one or more of its contracts in process. Accordingly, the ultimate gross profit realized upon completion of such contracts can vary significantly from estimated amounts between accounting periods. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a charge is taken against income for the amount of the entire loss in the period in which it is estimated. Cost of Products Sold, Engineering and Development and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Cost of products sold includes the costs to manufacture products such as direct materials and labor and manufacturing overhead as well as all engineering and developmental costs. The Company is engaged in a variety of engineering and design activities as well as basic research and development activities directed to the substantial improvement or new application of the Company’s existing technologies. These costs are expensed when incurred and included in cost of products sold. Research and development, design and related engineering amounted to $95.0 million in 2017 , $88.9 million in 2016 and $90.3 million in 2015 . Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include costs primarily related to our sales, marketing and administrative departments. Interest expense is shown net of interest income. Interest income was insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 . Shipping and Handling Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in costs of products sold. Equity-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock options following Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC Topic 718”). This Topic requires all equity-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of earnings based on the grant date fair value of the award. For awards with graded vesting, the Company uses a straight-line method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation expense, subject to minimum levels of expense, based on vesting. Under ASC Topic 718, stock compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Vesting requirements vary for directors, officers and key employees. In general, options granted to outside directors vest six months from the date of grant and options granted to officers and key employees vest with graded vesting over a five -year period, 20% each year, from the date of grant. Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are composed of trade and contract receivables recorded at either the invoiced amount or costs in excess of billings, are expected to be collected within one year, and do not bear interest. The Company will record a valuation allowance to account for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is determined based on our knowledge of the business, specific customers, review of the receivables’ aging and a specific identification of accounts where collection is at risk. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all means of collections have been exhausted and recovery is considered remote. The Company typically does not require collateral. Inventories We record our inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine the cost basis of our inventory on a first-in, first-out or weighted average basis using a standard cost methodology that approximates actual cost. The Company records valuation reserves to provide for excess, slow moving or obsolete inventory. In determining the appropriate reserve, the Company considers the age of inventory on hand, the overall inventory levels in relation to forecasted demands as well as reserving for specifically identified inventory that the Company believes is no longer salable. Precontract Costs The Company may, from time to time, incur costs in excess of the amounts required for existing contracts. If it is determined the costs are probable of recovery from future orders, the precontract costs incurred are capitalized, excluding start-up costs which are expensed as incurred. Capitalized precontract costs are included in Inventories in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Should future orders not materialize or it is determined the costs are no longer probable of recovery, the capitalized costs are written off. Included in inventories at December 31, 2017 are capitalized precontract costs of $7.0 million . Property, Plant and Equipment Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and using accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows: buildings, 25 - 40 years; machinery and equipment, 4 - 10 years. Leased buildings and associated leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the terms of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets, with the amortization of such assets included within depreciation expense. The cost of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation thereon are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, as well as maintenance and repair expenses, is reflected within operating income. Replacements and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation expense was approximately $14.1 million , $14.3 million and $13.3 million in 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Buildings acquired under capital leases amounted to $10.3 million ( $15.5 million , net of $5.2 million of accumulated amortization) and $10.5 million ( $14.3 million , net of $3.8 million accumulated amortization) at December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Future minimum lease payments associated with these capital leases are expected to be $2.7 million in 2018 , $2.0 million in 2019 , $2.1 million in 2020 , $2.2 million in 2021 and $0.9 million in 2022 . Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets to be held and used are initially recorded at cost. The carrying value of these assets is evaluated for recoverability whenever adverse effects or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairments are recognized if future undiscounted cash flows from operations are not expected to be sufficient to recover long-lived assets. The carrying amounts are then reduced to fair value, which is typically determined by using a discounted cash flow model. Goodwill The Company tests goodwill at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company has twelve reporting units, however only nine reporting units have goodwill and were subject to the goodwill impairment test as of the first day of our fourth quarter. We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment that considers economic, industry and company-specific factors for all or selected reporting units. If, after completing the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we proceed to a quantitative test. We may also elect to perform a quantitative test instead of a qualitative test for any or all of our reporting units. Quantitative testing requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. We use the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. The discounted cash flow method incorporates various assumptions, the most significant being projected revenue growth rates, operating margins and cash flows, the terminal growth rate and the weighted average cost of capital. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and any loss must be measured. We adopted ASU No. 2017-04 on January 1, 2017. Accordingly, goodwill impairment is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. As a result of this assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $16.2 million in the December 31, 2017 consolidated statement of operations associated to the Armstrong reporting unit. The impairment loss was incurred in the Aerospace segment and is reported on the Impairment Loss line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no impairment charges in 2016 or 2015 . None of this loss related to goodwill is immediately deductible for tax purposes. The majority of goodwill is expensed over 15 years for tax purposes. Intangible Assets Acquired intangibles are generally valued based upon future economic benefits such as earnings and cash flows. Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Acquired intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets are below their estimated fair values. Impairment is tested under ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, as amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-2, by first performing a qualitative analysis in a manner similar to the testing methodology of goodwill discussed previously. The qualitative factors applied under this new provision indicated no impairment to the Company’s indefinite lived intangible assets in 2017 , 2016 or 2015 . Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and long-term debt. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair value. The carrying value of the Company’s variable rate long-term debt instruments also approximates fair value due to the variable rate feature of these instruments. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Foreign Currency Translation The Company accounts for its foreign currency translation in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Translation . The aggregate transaction gain included in operations was insignificant in 2017 and 2016 , and $1.0 million in 2015 . Dividends The Company has not paid any cash dividends in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017 . Loss Contingencies Loss contingencies may from time to time arise from situations such as claims and other legal actions. Loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosure is required when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded provision. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. In recording liabilities for probable losses, management is required to make estimates and judgments regarding the amount or range of the probable loss. Management continually assesses the adequacy of estimated loss contingencies and, if necessary, adjusts the amounts recorded as better information becomes known. Acquisitions The Company accounts for its acquisitions under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations and Reorganizations ("ASC Topic 805"). ASC Topic 805 provides guidance on how the acquirer recognizes and measures the consideration transferred, identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, non-controlling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination. ASC Topic 805 also expands required disclosures surrounding the nature and financial effects of business combinations. See Note 18 regarding the acquisitions in 2017 and 2015. Newly Adopted and Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"), that, together with several subsequent updates, outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. Topic 606 is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 also provides for enhanced disclosure requirements surrounding revenue recognition beginning with the reporting period ending March 31, 2018 and we are currently preparing our responsive disclosures. Revenue on a significant portion of our contracts is currently recognized at the time of shipment of goods, transfer of title and customer acceptance, as required. Our revenue transactions generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods and are not accounted for under industry-specific guidance. We have obtained an understanding of the new standard and currently believe that we will retain much of the same accounting treatment used to recognize revenue under current standards. However, the adoption of this guidance will require us to accelerate the recognition of revenue as compared to current standards, for certain customers, in cases where we produce products unique to those customers; and for which we would have an enforceable right of payment for production completed to date. We have evaluated the impact of ASU No. 2014-09 on our financial results and will adopt this standard using the modified retrospective method, which requires the recognition of the cumulative effect of the transition as an adjustment to retained earnings for open contracts as of January 1, 2018. Based on the application of the changes described above, we expect to recognize a transition adjustment of no more than $10 million , net of tax effects, which will increase our January 1, 2018 retained earnings. Based on our existing operations, ASU No. 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact to net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 - 02, Leases . The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard will require lessees to report most leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, while lessor accounting will remain substantially unchanged. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for existing leases, whereby the new rules will be applied to the earliest year presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on our financial statements. On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . Prospectively, beginning January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits/deficiencies are reflected as income tax benefit/expense in the statement of income, resulting in a $0.5 million tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2017. The extent of excess tax benefits/deficiencies is subject to variation in the Company’s stock price and timing/extent of employee stock option exercises. Under previous accounting guidance, when a share-based payment award such as a stock option was granted to an employee, the fair value of the award was generally recognized over the vesting period. However, the related deduction from taxes payable was based on the award’s intrinsic value at the time of exercise, which could be either greater (creating an excess tax benefit) or less (creating a tax deficiency) than the compensation cost recognized in the financial statements. Excess tax benefits were recognized in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) within equity, while deficiencies were first recorded to APIC to the extent previously recognized excess tax benefits existed, after which time deficiencies were recorded to income tax expense. The Company’s adoption of this ASU also resulted in associated excess tax benefits being classified as an operating activity in the same manner as other cash flows related to income taxes in the statement of cash flows prospectively beginning January 1, 2017. Based on the adoption methodology applied, the statement of cash flows classification of prior periods has not changed. As permitted by the ASU, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. None of the other provisions in this amended guidance had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard provides guidance in a number of situations including, among others, settlement of zero-coupon bonds, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and distributions received from equity method investees. The ASU also provides guidance for classifying cash receipts and payments that have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2016-15 as of January 1, 2017. There were no changes in classification to prior periods presented, and thus no impact was reflected in the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition presented. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which narrows the existing definition of a business and provides a framework for evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business. The ASU requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities (collectively, the set) is not a business. To be considered a business, the set would need to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The standard also narrows the definition of outputs. The definition of a business affects areas of accounting such as acquisitions, disposals and goodwill. Under the new guidance, fewer acquired sets are expected to be considered businesses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 on a prospective basis with early adoption permitted. The Company would apply this guidance to applicable transactions after the adoption date. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . Under the new standard, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. This ASU is effective prospectively to annual and interim impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2017. Accordingly, any goodwill impairment losses from that date forward are measured under the provisions of ASU 2017-04. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . This ASU changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. Under the new standard, only the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost would be included in operating expenses. All other net periodic benefit costs components (such as interest cost, prior service cost amortization and actuarial gain/loss amortization) would be reported outside of operating income. This ASU is effective January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. The components of the Company’s net periodic defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit costs are presented in Note 10. These include components totaling $1.7 million , $1.7 million and $1.9 million , for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, that would no longer be included within operating expenses and instead would be reported outside of income from operations under the new standard. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09 , Scope of Modification Accounting , that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The general model for accounting for modifications of share-based payment awards is to record the incremental value arising from the changes as additional compensation cost. Under the new standard, fewer changes to the terms of an award would require accounting under this modification model. This ASU is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Because the Company does not typically make changes to the terms or conditions of its issued share-based payment awards, this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition. |

For the nine reporting units with goodwill on the first day of our fourth quarter, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of the goodwill’s carrying value. As a result of this assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $16.2 million in the December 31, 2017 consolidated statement of operations associated to the Armstrong reporting unit, which represented all of Armstrong's goodwill. The impairment loss was incurred in the Aerospace segment and is reported on the Impairment Loss line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill in 2016 or 2015 . All goodwill relates to the Aerospace segment. |

The maturity date of the loans under the Original Facility was September 26, 2019 . On January 13, 2016, the Company amended the Original Facility to add a new lender and extend the maturity date of the credit facility from September 26, 2019 to January 13, 2021. The maximum permitted leverage ratio of funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Agreement) was 3.5 to 1, increasing to 4.0 to 1 for up to two fiscal quarters following the closing of an acquisition permitted under the Agreement. The Company paid interest on the unpaid principal amount of the facility at a rate equal to one-, three- or six-month LIBOR plus between 1.375% and 2.25% based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company paid a commitment fee to the Lenders in an amount equal to between 0.175% and 0.35% on the undrawn portion of the credit facility, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company was required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio (Adjusted EBITDA to interest expense) of 3.0 to 1 for the term of the Agreement. On February 16, 2018, the Company modified and extended the Original Facility by entering into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Agreement"), which provides for a $500 million revolving credit line with the option to increase the line by up to $150 million . A new lender was added to the facility as well. The outstanding balances in the original Facility were rolled into the Agreement on the date of closing. The maturity date of the loans under the Agreement is February 16, 2023. The credit facility allocates up to $20 million of the $500 million revolving credit line for the issuance of letters of credit, including certain existing letters of credit. At December 31, 2017 , outstanding letters of credit totaled $1.1 million . At December 31, 2017 , there was $262.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility and there remains $236.9 million available, net of outstanding letters of credit. Covenants in the Agreement have been modified to where the maximum permitted leverage ratio is 3.75 to 1 beginning with quarters ended on or after December 31, 2017. However, the Company may elect to exercise its right to increase this ratio to 4.50 to 1 or up to four fiscal quarters following the closing of an acquisition permitted under the Agreement, subject to limitations. The Company will pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the facility at a rate equal to one-, three- or six-month LIBOR plus between 1.00% and 1.50% based upon the Company's leverage ratio. The Company will also pay a commitment fee to the Lenders in an amount equal to between 0.10% and 0.20% of the undrawn portion of the credit facility, based upon the Company's leverage ratio. The Company’s leverage ratio was 2.91 to 1 at December 31, 2017 . The Company is in compliance with all financial and other covenants at December 31, 2017 . The requirement to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio has been eliminated. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement as amended are jointly and severally guaranteed by each domestic subsidiary of the Company other than a non-material subsidiary. The obligations are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets. In the event of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy of the Company or any subsidiary, all unpaid principal and other amounts owing under the Credit Agreement automatically become due and payable. Other events of default, such as failure to make payments as they become due and breach of financial and other covenants, change of control, judgments over a certain amount, and cross default under other agreements give the Agent the option to declare all such amounts immediately due and payable. |

Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of tax benefits which are not expected to be realized. Investment tax credits are recognized on the flow through method. The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following: (In thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Current U.S. Federal $ 8,436 $ 21,667 $ 24,809 State 2,054 2,899 2,382 Foreign 316 551 137 Deferred U.S. Federal (3,850 ) (2,871 ) 703 State (326 ) (1,140 ) (1,019 ) Foreign (1,318 ) (745 ) 64 $ 5,312 $ 20,361 $ 27,076 The effective tax rates differ from the statutory federal income tax rate as follows: 2017 2016 2015 Statutory Federal Income Tax Rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Permanent Items Non-deductible Stock Compensation Expense 1.1 % 1.1 % 0.6 % Domestic Production Activity Deduction (4.7 )% (3.3 )% (2.9 )% Other 0.5 % 0.2 % 0.2 % Foreign Tax Benefits (5.6 )% (1.1 )% (1.1 )% State Income Tax, Net of Federal Income Tax Effect 4.5 % 1.8 % 0.9 % Research and Development Tax Credits (11.5 )% (3.7 )% (2.7 )% Tax Expense on Deemed Repatriation of Foreign Earnings 5.6 % — % — % Revaluation of Deferred Taxes for Federal Tax Rate Change (3.5 )% — % — % Other (0.1 )% (0.4 )% (1.2 )% Effective Tax Rate 21.3 % 29.6 % 28.8 % Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, are as follows: (In thousands) 2017 2016 Deferred Tax Assets: Asset Reserves $ 5,615 $ 9,208 Deferred Compensation 6,091 8,378 Capital Lease Basis Difference 1,002 1,690 State Investment and Research and Development Tax Credit Carryforwards, Net of Federal Tax 1,379 665 Customer Advanced Payments and Deferred Revenue 1,007 3,750 State Net Operating Loss Carryforwards and Other 8,115 4,282 Total Gross Deferred Tax Assets 23,209 27,973 Valuation Allowance for Foreign Tax Credit, State Deferred Tax Assets and Tax Credit Carryforwards, Net of Federal Tax (7,823 ) (3,816 ) Deferred Tax Assets 15,386 24,157 Deferred Tax Liabilities: Depreciation 9,267 12,972 Goodwill and Intangible Assets 7,275 18,558 Other 1,149 1,280 Deferred Tax Liabilities 17,691 32,810 Net Deferred Tax Liabilities $ (2,305 ) $ (8,653 ) The net deferred tax assets and liabilities presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows at December 31: (In thousands) 2017 2016 Other Assets — Long-term $ 2,816 $ 2,644 Deferred Tax Liabilities — Long-term (5,121 ) (11,297 ) Net Deferred Tax Liabilities $ (2,305 ) $ (8,653 ) At December 31, 2017 , state tax credit carryforwards amounted to approximately $1.8 million , of which $0.9 million will expire from 2017 through 2031 and $0.9 million will carryforward until utilized. At December 31, 2017 , state net operating loss carryforwards which the Company expects to utilize amounted to approximately $13.6 million and expire at various dates between 2032 and 2037. Due to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in certain states in the future and utilize certain of the Company’s state operating loss carryforwards before they expire, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance accordingly. These state net operating loss carryforwards amount to approximately $79.9 million and expire at various dates from 2021 through 2037 . The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting during 2017 and beginning with 2017 the excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises are no longer recorded directly to shareholders’ equity, but rather, are recorded in the provision for income taxes, when realized. A $0.5 million benefit was recorded in the provision for incomes taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017 . Amounts recorded directly to shareholders’ equity amounted to approximately $0.8 million and $3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015 respectively. At December 31, 2017 , estimated foreign tax credit carryforwards, which the Company expects not to utilize, amounted to approximately $0.3 million . Due to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to generate any general limitation foreign source income in the future and utilize these foreign tax credits, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance accordingly. The Company has analyzed its filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. Should the Company need to accrue a liability for uncertain tax benefits, any interest associated with that liability would be recorded as interest expense. Penalties, if any, would be recorded as operating expenses. As of December 31, 2017 , we no longer have any unrecognized tax benefits. Reserves for uncertain tax positions that had been recorded pursuant to ASC Topic 740-10 as of December 31, 2014 were reversed during the year-ended December 31, 2015. No additional reserves for uncertain income tax positions were deemed necessary for the years ended December 31, 2017 or 2016. A reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties which are insignificant, is as follows: (in thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Balance at Beginning of the Year $ — $ — $ 181 Decreases as a Result of Tax Positions Taken in Prior Years — — (181 ) Increases as a Result of Tax Positions Taken in the Current Year — — — Balance at End of the Year $ — $ — $ — There are no penalties or interest liabilities accrued as of December 31, 2017 or 2016 , nor are any material penalties or interest costs included in expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 . The years under which we conducted our evaluation coincided with the tax years currently still subject to examination by major federal and state tax jurisdictions, those being 2014 through 2017 for federal purposes and 2013 through 2017 for state purposes. Pretax income from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries amounted to $1.1 million , $1.6 million and $3.6 million for 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The balance of pretax earnings for each of those years were domestic. On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The legislation significantly changes U.S. tax law by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates, implementing a territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanently reduces the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate, effective January 1, 2018. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company revalued its ending net deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2017 and recognized a provisional $0.9 million tax benefit in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2017 . The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provided for a one-time deemed mandatory repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings and profits (“E&P”) through the year ended December 31, 2017 . The Company had an estimated $10.3 million of undistributed foreign E&P subject to the deemed mandatory repatriation and recognized a provisional $1.4 million of income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2017 . After the utilization of existing tax credits, the Company expects to pay additional U.S. federal cash taxes of approximately $1.3 million on the deemed mandatory repatriation, payable over eight years. In addition, the Company expects to pay additional State cash taxes of approximately $0.1 million on the deemed mandatory repatriation. No additional provision for U.S. federal or foreign taxes has been made as the foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested. It is not practicable to determine the amount of other taxes that would be payable if these amounts were repatriated to the U.S. While the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provides for a territorial tax system, beginning in 2018, it includes two new U.S. tax base erosion provisions, the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions and the base-erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) provisions. 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 Company expects that it will be subject to incremental U.S. tax on GILTI income beginning in 2018, due to expense allocations required by the U.S. foreign tax credit rules. The Company has elected to account for GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred, and therefore has not provided any deferred tax impacts of GILTI in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 . The BEAT provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminates the deduction of certain base-erosion payments made to related foreign corporations, and impose a minimum tax if greater than regular tax. The Company does not expect it will be subject to this tax and therefore has not included any tax impacts of BEAT in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 . On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company has recognized the provisional tax impacts related to deemed repatriated earnings and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and included these amounts in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 . The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The accounting is expected to be complete when the 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Retirement Plans and Related Post Retirement Benefits | RETIREMENT PLANS AND RELATED POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company has two non-qualified supplemental retirement defined benefit plans (“SERP” and “SERP II”) for certain current and retired executive officers. The accumulated benefit obligation of the plans as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 amounts to $22.7 million and $18.6 million , respectively. The Plans provide for benefits based upon average annual compensation and years of service and in the case of SERP, there are offsets for social security and profit sharing benefits. It is the Company’s intent to fund the plans as plan benefits become payable, since no assets exist at December 31, 2017 or 2016 for either of the plans. The Company accounts for the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations) of its pension plans in accordance with the recognition and disclosure provisions of ASC Topic 715, Compensation, Retirement Benefits , which requires the Company to recognize the funded status in its balance sheet, with a corresponding adjustment to AOCI, net of tax. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic pension cost pursuant to the Company’s historical policy for amortizing such amounts. Further, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as net periodic pension cost in the same periods will be recognized as a component of AOCI. Those amounts will be subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost on the same basis as the amounts recognized in AOCI. Unrecognized prior service costs of $2.3 million ( $3.5 million net of $1.2 million in taxes) and unrecognized actuarial losses of $6.0 million ( $8.6 million net of $2.6 million in taxes) are included in AOCI at December 31, 2017 and have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost. The prior service cost included in AOCI that is expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during the fiscal year-ended December 31, 2018 is $0.3 million ( $0.4 million net of $0.1 million in taxes). The actuarial loss included in AOCI expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during the fiscal year-ended December 31, 2017 is $0.4 million ( $0.6 million net of $0.2 million in taxes). The reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the projected benefit obligation of the plans for the years ended December 31 is as follows: (In thousands) 2017 2016 Funded Status Projected Benefit Obligation Beginning of the Year — January 1 $ 21,533 $ 20,418 Service Cost 186 173 Interest Cost 897 901 Actuarial Loss 2,873 389 Benefits Paid (348 ) (348 ) End of the Year — December 31 $ 25,141 $ 21,533 The assumptions used to calculate the projected benefit obligation as of December 31 are as follows: 2017 2016 Discount Rate 3.60% 4.20% Future Average Compensation Increases 2.00% – 3.00% 3.00% – 5.00% The plans are unfunded at December 31, 2017 and are recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as a current accrued pension liability of $0.3 million and a long-term accrued pension liability of $24.8 million . This also is the expected future contribution to the plan, since the plan is unfunded. The following table summarizes the components of the net periodic cost for the years ended December 31: (In thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Net Periodic Cost Service Cost — Benefits Earned During Period $ 186 $ 173 $ 194 Interest Cost 897 901 843 Amortization of Prior Service Cost 387 413 495 Amortization of Losses 369 343 449 Net Periodic Cost $ 1,839 $ 1,830 $ 1,981 The assumptions used to determine the net periodic cost are as follows: 2017 2016 2015 Discount Rate 4.20% 4.45% 4.05% Future Average Compensation Increases 3.00% – 5.00% 3.00% – 5.00% 5.00% The Company expects the benefits to be paid in each of the next five years to be $0.3 million and $2.8 million in the aggregate for the next five years after that. This also is the expected Company contribution to the plans. Participants in SERP are entitled to paid medical, dental and long-term care insurance benefits upon retirement under the plan. The measurement date for determining the plan obligation and cost is December 31. The reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the years ended December 31, is as follows: (In thousands) 2017 2016 Funded Status Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation Beginning of the Year — January 1 $ 1,021 $ 925 Service Cost 7 5 Interest Cost 41 40 Actuarial (Gain) Loss 307 112 Benefits Paid (69 ) (61 ) End of the Year — December 31 $ 1,307 $ 1,021 The assumptions used to calculate the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31 are as follows: 2017 2016 Discount Rate 3.60% 4.20% The following table summarizes the components of the net periodic cost for the years ended December 31: (In thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Net Periodic Cost Service Cost — Benefits Earned During Period $ 7 $ 5 $ 6 Interest Cost 41 40 39 Amortization of Prior Service Cost 16 24 26 Amortization of Losses 31 22 26 Net Periodic Cost $ 95 $ 91 $ 97 The assumptions used to determine the net periodic cost are as follows: 2017 2016 2015 Discount Rate 4.20% 4.45% 4.05% Future Average Healthcare Benefit Increases 5.50% 5.72% 5.32% Unrecognized prior service costs of $0.1 million and unrecognized actuarial losses of $0.5 million for medical, dental and long-term care insurance benefits (net of taxes of $0.2 million ) are included in AOCI at December 31, 2017 and have not been recognized in net periodic cost. The Company estimates that the prior service costs and net losses in AOCI as of December 31, 2017 that will be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the Plan will be insignificant. For measurement purposes, a 6.2% increase in the cost of health care benefits was assumed for 2018 and 2019 , respectively, and a range between 4.2% and 6.2% from 2019 through 2070. A one percentage point increase or decrease in this rate would change the post retirement benefit obligation by approximately $0.1 million . The plan is recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as a current accrued pension liability of less than $0.1 million and a long-term accrued pension liability of $1.2 million . The Company expects the benefits to be paid in each of the next five years to be less than $0.1 million per year and approximately $0.3 million in the aggregate for the next five years after that. This also is the expected Company contribution to the plan, as it is unfunded. The Company is a participating employer in a trustee-managed multiemployer defined benefit pension plan for employees who participate in collective bargaining agreements. The plan generally provides retirement benefits to employees based on years of service to the Company. Contributions are based on the hours worked and are expensed on a current basis. The Plan is 91.2% funded as of January 1, 2017. The Company’s contributions to the plan were $1.1 million in 2017 , $1.1 million in 2016 and $1.0 million in 2015 . These contributions represent less than 1% of total contributions to the plan. |

Shareholders' Equity | SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Share Buyback Program On February 24, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of common stock (the “Buyback Program”). The Buyback Program allows the Company to purchase shares of its common stock in accordance with applicable securities laws on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The Company has repurchased approximately 1,675,000 shares and has completed that program. On December 12, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional repurchase of up to $50 million of common stock. No amounts have been repurchased under the new program as of December 31, 2017. Reserved Common Stock At December 31, 2017 , approximately 10.5 million shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Class B stock, exercise of stock options and purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Class B Stock is identical to Common Stock, except Class B Stock has ten votes per share, is automatically converted to Common Stock on a one-for-one basis when sold or transferred other than via gift, devise or bequest and cannot receive dividends unless an equal or greater amount of dividends is declared on Common Stock.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Stock Option and Purchase Plans | STOCK OPTION AND PURCHASE PLANS The Company has stock option plans that authorize the issuance of options for shares of Common Stock to directors, officers and key employees. Stock option grants are designed to reward long-term contributions to the Company and provide incentives for recipients to remain with the Company. The exercise price, determined by a committee of the Board of Directors, may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the grant date. Options become exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years. The Company’s practice has been to issue new shares upon the exercise of the options. Stock compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Vesting requirements vary for directors, officers and key employees. In general, options granted to outside directors vest six months from the date of grant and options granted to officers and key employees straight line vest over a five -year period from the date of grant. 2017 2016 2015 Weighted Average Fair Value of the Options Granted $ 17.60 $ 16.85 $ 18.00 The weighted average fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2017 2016 2015 Risk-free Interest Rate 2.05% – 2.36% 1.08% – 2.34% 1.36% – 2.10% Dividend Yield —% —% —% Volatility Factor 0.40 – 0.41 0.40 – 0.45 0.40 – 0.51 Expected Life in Years 5.0 – 8.0 4.0 – 8.0 4.0 – 8.0 To determine expected volatility, the Company uses historical volatility based on weekly closing prices of its Common Stock and considers currently available information to determine if future volatility is expected to differ over the expected terms of the options granted. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the appropriate term of the options granted. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected term of stock options is based on vesting schedules, expected exercise patterns and contractual terms. The following table provides compensation expense information based on the fair value of stock options for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 : (In thousands) 2017 2016 2015 Stock Compensation Expense $ 2,598 $ 2,281 $ 2,274 Tax Benefit (140 ) (145 ) (177 ) Stock Compensation Expense, Net of Tax $ 2,458 $ 2,136 $ 2,097 A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the years ended December 31 is as follows: 2017 2016 2015 (Aggregate intrinsic value in Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Options Weighted Aggregate Options Weighted Aggregate Outstanding at January 1 1,338,273 $ 14.85 $ 35,630 1,444,954 $ 12.61 $ 30,675 1,686,178 $ 9.43 $ 43,778 Options Granted 103,140 $ 38.41 $ 315 104,900 $ 34.29 $ (48 ) 105,742 $ 35.80 $ (42 ) Options Exercised (114,699 ) $ 11.24 $ (3,467 ) (188,768 ) $ 7.20 $ (5,029 ) (346,966 ) $ 4.25 $ (10,808 ) Options Forfeited (16,624 ) $ 27.91 $ (225 ) (22,813 ) $ 25.96 $ (180 ) — $ — $ — Outstanding at December 31 1,310,090 $ 16.85 $ 32,253 1,338,273 $ 14.85 $ 25,418 1,444,954 $ 12.61 $ 32,928 Exercisable at December 31 1,088,970 $ 12.84 $ 31,177 1,091,561 $ 11.03 $ 24,898 1,167,040 $ 9.20 $ 30,576 The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax option holder’s intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of Common Stock which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The Company’s closing stock price of Common Stock was $41.47 , $33.84 and $35.40 as of December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The weighted average fair value of options vested during 2017 , 2016 and 2015 was $14.25 , $12.05 and $10.85 , respectively. The total fair value of options that vested during the year amounted to $1.6 million , $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. At December 31, 2017 , total compensation costs related to non-vested awards not yet recognized amounts to $4.8 million and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. The following is a summary of weighted average exercise prices and contractual lives for outstanding and exercisable stock options as of December 31, 2017 : Outstanding Exercisable Exercise Price Range Shares Weighted Average Remaining Life in Years Weighted Average Exercise Price Shares Weighted Average Remaining Life in Years Weighted Average Exercise Price $ 3.07 - $ 3.67 470,757 1.5 $ 3.29 470,757 1.5 $ 3.29 $ 6.35 - $ 6.35 15,055 0.2 $ 6.35 15,055 0.2 $ 6.35 $ 8.83 - $15.68 374,619 4.0 $ 11.52 374,619 4.0 $ 11.52 $ 26.09 - $41.19 429,819 8.0 $ 35.06 208,699 7.4 $ 33.41 $ 52.77 - $52.77 19,840 7.2 $ 52.77 19,840 7.2 $ 52.77 1,310,090 4.4 $ 16.85 1,088,970 3.6 $ 12.84 The Company established Incentive Stock Option Plans for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers and key employees, and to align management’s interest with those of the shareholders. Generally, the options must be exercised within ten years from the grant date and vest ratably over a five -year period. The exercise price for the options is equal to the share price at the date of grant. At December 31, 2017 , the Company had options outstanding for 1,034,898 shares under the plans. The Company established the Directors Stock Option Plans for the purpose of attracting and retaining the services of experienced and knowledgeable outside directors, and to align their interest with those of the shareholders. The options must be exercised within ten years from the grant date. The exercise price for the option is equal to the share price at the date of grant and vests six months from the grant date. At December 31, 2017 , the Company had options outstanding for 204,052 shares under the plans. During 2017, the Company established the Long Term Incentive Plan for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers and key employees, and to align management's interest with those of the shareholders. The Plan contemplates the use of a mix of equity award types, and contains, with certain exceptions, a minimum three-year pro-rata vesting schedule for time-based awards. For stock options, the exercise price is equal to the share price on the date of grant. Upon inception, the remaining options available for future grant under the 2011 Incentive Stock Option Plan and the Directors Stock Option Plans were rolled in the Long Term Incentive Plan, and no further grants may be made out of those plans. At December 31, 2017 , the Company had stock options outstanding of 71,140 shares under the Long Term Incentive Plan, and there were 1,685,899 shares available for future grant under this plan. In addition to the options discussed above, the Company has established the Employee Stock Purchase Plan to encourage employees to invest in Astronics Corporation. The plan provides employees the opportunity to invest up to the IRS annual maximum of approximately $21,250 in Astronics common stock at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Astronics common stock, determined each October 1. Employees are allowed to enroll annually. Employees indicate the number of shares they wish to obtain through the program and their intention to pay for the shares through payroll deductions over the annual cycle of October 1 through September 30. Employees can withdraw anytime during the annual cycle, and all money withheld from the employees pay is returned with interest. If an employee remains enrolled in the program, enough money will have been withheld from the employees’ pay during the year to pay for all the shares that the employee opted for under the program. At December 31, 2017 , employees had subscribed to purchase 129,798 shares at $25.63 per share. The weighted average fair value of the options was approximately $5.92 , $9.88 and $6.93 for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The fair value for the options granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2017 2016 2015 Risk-free Interest Rate 1.31 % 0.63 % 0.31 % Dividend Yield — % — % — % Volatility Factor 0.26 0.45 0.40 Expected Life in Years 1.0 1.0 1.0 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | FAIR VALUE ASC Topic 820, Fair value Measurements and Disclosures , (“ASC Topic 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The statement indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value based upon an exit price model. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and involves consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability. ASC Topic 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. On a Recurring Basis: A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The financial liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis consisted of contingent consideration related to certain prior acquisitions, valued at zero at December 31, 2016 . The values were determined using Level 3 inputs. There are no financial liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis at December 31, 2017 . There were no financial assets carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis at December 31, 2017 or 2016 . The amounts recorded for the contingent considerations were calculated using an estimate of the probability of the future cash outflows. The varying contingent payments were then discounted to the present value utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology. The contingent consideration liabilities had no observable Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. The change in the balance of contingent consideration during fiscal 2015 was primarily due to fair value adjustments of $1.8 million resulting from the re-evaluation of the probability of the achievement of the contingent consideration targets. This adjustment was recorded within SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On a Non-recurring Basis: In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, the Company estimates the fair value of reporting units, utilizing unobservable Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs require significant management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices or observable inputs for assets of a similar nature. The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of reporting units utilizing unobservable inputs. The fair value measurement of the reporting unit under the step-one and step-two analysis of the quantitative goodwill impairment test are classified as Level 3 inputs. As a result of the annual goodwill impairment test for 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $16.2 million related to the Armstrong reporting unit. Due to the adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 on January 1, 2017, the goodwill impairment was calculated as the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying value exceeded its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. There were no impairment charges to goodwill in any of the Company’s reporting units in 2016 or 2015 . Long-lived assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever adverse effects or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability test consists of comparing the undiscounted projected cash flows with the carrying amount. Should the carrying amount exceed undiscounted projected cash flows, an impairment loss would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds fair value. There were no impairment charges to any of the Company’s long-lived assets in either of the Company’s segments in 2017 , 2016 or 2015 . The Armstrong, CCC, and CSC intangible assets were valued using a discounted cash flow methodology, as of their respective acquisitions dates, and are classified as Level 3 inputs. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair value. The carrying value of the Company’s variable rate long-term debt instruments also approximates fair value due to the variable rate feature of these instruments. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under various lease contracts with terms that meet the accounting definition of operating leases. These arrangements may include fair value renewal or purchase options. Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 was $3.5 million , $3.9 million and $2.9 million , respectively. The following table represents future minimum lease payment commitments as of December 31, 2017 : (In thousands) 2018 $ 4,141 2019 2,194 2020 530 2021 115 2022 — $ 6,980 From time to time the Company may enter into purchase agreements with suppliers under which there is a commitment to buy a minimum amount of product. Purchase commitments outstanding at December 31, 2017 were $178.1 million . These commitments are not reflected as liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Legal Proceedings On December 29, 2010, Lufthansa Technik AG (“Lufthansa”) filed a Statement of Claim in the Regional State Court of Mannheim, Germany. Lufthansa’s claim asserts that our subsidiary, AES sold, marketed and brought into use in Germany a power supply system that infringes upon a German patent held by Lufthansa. The relief sought by Lufthansa includes requiring AES to stop selling and marketing the allegedly infringing power supply system, a recall of allegedly infringing products sold to commercial customers since November 26, 2003 and compensation for damages. The claim does not specify an estimate of damages and a damages claim will be made by Lufthansa only if it receives a favorable ruling on the determination of infringement. On February 6, 2015, the Regional State Court of Mannheim, Germany rendered its decision that the patent was infringed. The judgment does not require AES to recall products that are already installed in aircraft or have been sold to other end users. On July 15, 2015, Lufthansa advised AES of their intention to enforce the accounting provisions of the decision, which required AES to provide certain financial information regarding sales of the infringing product to enable Lufthansa to make an estimate of requested damages. Additionally, if Lufthansa provides the required bank guarantee specified in the decision, the Company may be required to offer a recall of products that are in the distribution channels in Germany. No such bank guarantee has been issued to date. As of December 31, 2017 , there are no products in the distribution channels in Germany. The Company appealed to the Higher Regional Court of Karlsruhe. On November 15, 2016, the Court issued its ruling and upheld the lower court’s decision. The Company has submitted a petition to grant AES leave for appeal to the Federal Supreme Court. The Company believes it has valid defenses to refute the decision. Should the Federal Supreme Court decide to hear the case, the appeal process is estimated to extend up to two years . We estimate AES’s potential exposure related to this matter to be approximately $1 million to $3 million . As loss exposure is not probable at this time, the Company has not recorded any liability with respect to this litigation as of December 31, 2017 . On November 26, 2014, Lufthansa filed a complaint in the United States District for the Western District of Washington. Lufthansa’s complaint in this action alleges that AES manufactures, uses, sells and offers for sale a power supply system that infringes upon a U.S. patent held by Lufthansa. The patent at issue in the U.S. action is based on technology similar to that involved in the German action. On April 25, 2016, the Court issued its ruling on claim construction, holding that the sole independent claim in the patent is indefinite, rendering all claims in the patent indefinite. Based on this ruling, AES filed a motion for summary judgment on the grounds that the Court’s ruling that the patent is indefinite renders the patent invalid and unenforceable. On July 20, 2016, the U.S. District Court granted the motion for summary judgment and issued an order dismissing all claims against AES with prejudice. Lufthansa appealed the District Court's decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On October 19, 2017, the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Court's decision, holding that the sole independent claim of the patent is indefinite, rendering all claims on the patent indefinite. Lufthansa did not file a petition for en banc rehearing or petition the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. Therefore, there is no longer a risk of exposure from that lawsuit. In December 2017, Lufthansa filed patent infringement cases in the United Kingdom and in France against AES. AES has been served in the case in France, but not in the case in the United Kingdom. In those cases, Lufthansa accuses AES of manufacturing, using, selling and offering for sale a power supply system that infringes upon a Lufthansa patent in those respective countries. As loss exposure is neither probable nor estimable at this time, the Company has not recorded any liability with respect to this litigation as of December 31, 2017. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Description of the Business | Description of the Business Astronics Corporation (“Astronics” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of advanced technologies to the global aerospace, defense, electronics and semiconductor industries. Our products and services include advanced, high-performance electrical power generation, distribution and motion systems, lighting and safety systems, avionics products, systems certification, aircraft structures and automated test systems. We have operations in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and France. We design and build our products through our wholly owned subsidiaries Astronics Advanced Electronic Systems Corp. (“AES”); Astronics AeroSat Corporation (“AeroSat”); Armstrong Aerospace, Inc. (“Armstrong”); Astronics Test Systems, Inc. (“ATS”); Ballard Technology, Inc. (“Ballard”); Astronics Connectivity Systems and Certification Corp. ("CSC"); Astronics Custom Control Concepts Inc. ("CCC"); Astronics DME LLC (“DME”); Luminescent Systems, Inc. (“LSI”); Luminescent Systems Canada, Inc. (“LSI Canada”); Max-Viz, Inc. (“Max-Viz”); Peco, Inc. (“Peco”); and PGA Electronic s.a. (“PGA”). At December 31, 2017, the Company has two reportable segments, Aerospace and Test Systems. The Aerospace segment designs and manufactures products for the global aerospace industry. Our Test Systems segment designs, develops, manufactures and maintains automated test systems that support the semiconductor, aerospace, communications and weapons test systems as well as training and simulation devices for both commercial and military applications. On January 14, 2015 , the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Armstrong for approximately $52.3 million in cash. Armstrong, located in Itasca, Illinois, is a leading provider of engineering, design and certification solutions for commercial aircraft, specializing in connectivity, in-flight entertainment, and electrical power systems. Armstrong is included in our Aerospace segment. On April 3, 2017, Astronics Custom Control Concepts Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of Custom Control Concepts LLC, located in Kent, Washington. CCC is a provider of cabin management and in-flight entertainment systems for a range of aircraft. The total consideration for the transaction was approximately $10.2 million , net of $0.5 million in cash acquired. CCC is included in our Aerospace segment. On December 1, 2017, Astronics acquired substantially all of the assets of Telefonix Inc. and a related company Product Development Technologies, LLC and its subsidiaries, to become CSC, located in Waukegan and Lake Zurich, Illinois. CSC designs and manufactures advanced in-flight entertainment and connectivity equipment, and provides industry leading design consultancy services for the global aerospace industry. Under the terms of the Agreement, the total consideration for the transaction was approximately $103.8 million , net of $0.2 million in cash acquired. CSC is included in our Aerospace Segment. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method and, accordingly, the operating results for the acquired companies are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The vast majority of our sales agreements are for standard products and services, with revenue recognized on the accrual basis at the time of shipment of goods, transfer of title and customer acceptance, where required. There are no significant contracts allowing for right of return. To a limited extent at ATS, certain contracts involve multiple elements (such as equipment and service). Service revenues were not material for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 . The Company recognizes revenue for delivered elements when they have stand-alone value to the customer, they have been accepted by the customer, and for which there are only customary refund or return rights. Arrangement consideration is allocated to the deliverables by use of the relative selling price method. The selling price used for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third party-evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Estimated selling price is determined in a manner consistent with that used to establish the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. For prepaid service contracts, sales revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, unless historical evidence indicates the costs are incurred on other than a straight-line basis. Revenue of approximately $21.0 million , $20.7 million and $17.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively, was recognized from long-term, fixed-price contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, measured by multiplying the estimated total contract value by the ratio of actual contract costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs. The Company makes significant estimates involving its usage of percentage-of-completion accounting to recognize contract revenues. The Company periodically reviews contracts in process for estimates-to-completion, and revises estimated gross profit accordingly. While the Company believes its estimated gross profit on contracts in process is reasonable, unforeseen events and changes in circumstances can take place in a subsequent accounting period that may cause the Company to revise its estimated gross profit on one or more of its contracts in process. Accordingly, the ultimate gross profit realized upon completion of such contracts can vary significantly from estimated amounts between accounting periods. For contracts with anticipated losses at completion, a charge is taken against income for the amount of the entire loss in the period in which it is estimated. |
Cost of Products Sold, Engineering and Development and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | Cost of Products Sold, Engineering and Development and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Cost of products sold includes the costs to manufacture products such as direct materials and labor and manufacturing overhead as well as all engineering and developmental costs. The Company is engaged in a variety of engineering and design activities as well as basic research and development activities directed to the substantial improvement or new application of the Company’s existing technologies. These costs are expensed when incurred and included in cost of products sold. Research and development, design and related engineering amounted to $95.0 million in 2017 , $88.9 million in 2016 and $90.3 million in 2015 . Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include costs primarily related to our sales, marketing and administrative departments. |
Shipping and Handling | Shipping and Handling Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in costs of products sold. |
Equity-Based Compensation | Equity-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock options following Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC Topic 718”). This Topic requires all equity-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of earnings based on the grant date fair value of the award. For awards with graded vesting, the Company uses a straight-line method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation expense, subject to minimum levels of expense, based on vesting. Under ASC Topic 718, stock compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Vesting requirements vary for directors, officers and key employees. In general, options granted to outside directors vest six months from the date of grant and options granted to officers and key employees vest with graded vesting over a five -year period, 20% each year, from the date of grant. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered cash equivalents. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are composed of trade and contract receivables recorded at either the invoiced amount or costs in excess of billings, are expected to be collected within one year, and do not bear interest. The Company will record a valuation allowance to account for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is determined based on our knowledge of the business, specific customers, review of the receivables’ aging and a specific identification of accounts where collection is at risk. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all means of collections have been exhausted and recovery is considered remote. The Company typically does not require collateral. |
Inventories | Inventories We record our inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine the cost basis of our inventory on a first-in, first-out or weighted average basis using a standard cost methodology that approximates actual cost. The Company records valuation reserves to provide for excess, slow moving or obsolete inventory. In determining the appropriate reserve, the Company considers the age of inventory on hand, the overall inventory levels in relation to forecasted demands as well as reserving for specifically identified inventory that the Company believes is no longer salable. |
Precontract Costs | Precontract Costs The Company may, from time to time, incur costs in excess of the amounts required for existing contracts. If it is determined the costs are probable of recovery from future orders, the precontract costs incurred are capitalized, excluding start-up costs which are expensed as incurred. Capitalized precontract costs are included in Inventories in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Should future orders not materialize or it is determined the costs are no longer probable of recovery, the capitalized costs are written off. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and using accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows: buildings, 25 - 40 years; machinery and equipment, 4 - 10 years. Leased buildings and associated leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the terms of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets, with the amortization of such assets included within depreciation expense. The cost of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation thereon are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, as well as maintenance and repair expenses, is reflected within operating income. Replacements and improvements are capitalized. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets to be held and used are initially recorded at cost. The carrying value of these assets is evaluated for recoverability whenever adverse effects or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairments are recognized if future undiscounted cash flows from operations are not expected to be sufficient to recover long-lived assets. The carrying amounts are then reduced to fair value, which is typically determined by using a discounted cash flow model. |
Goodwill | Goodwill The Company tests goodwill at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company has twelve reporting units, however only nine reporting units have goodwill and were subject to the goodwill impairment test as of the first day of our fourth quarter. We may elect to perform a qualitative assessment that considers economic, industry and company-specific factors for all or selected reporting units. If, after completing the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we proceed to a quantitative test. We may also elect to perform a quantitative test instead of a qualitative test for any or all of our reporting units. Quantitative testing requires a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. We use the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. The discounted cash flow method incorporates various assumptions, the most significant being projected revenue growth rates, operating margins and cash flows, the terminal growth rate and the weighted average cost of capital. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and any loss must be measured. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets Acquired intangibles are generally valued based upon future economic benefits such as earnings and cash flows. Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Acquired intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets are below their estimated fair values. Impairment is tested under ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, as amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-2, by first performing a qualitative analysis in a manner similar to the testing methodology of goodwill discussed previously. |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and long-term debt. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair value. The carrying value of the Company’s variable rate long-term debt instruments also approximates fair value due to the variable rate feature of these instruments. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation The Company accounts for its foreign currency translation in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Translation . |
Dividends | Dividends The Company has not paid any cash dividends in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017 . |
Loss Contingencies | Loss Contingencies Loss contingencies may from time to time arise from situations such as claims and other legal actions. Loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosure is required when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded provision. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. In recording liabilities for probable losses, management is required to make estimates and judgments regarding the amount or range of the probable loss. Management continually assesses the adequacy of estimated loss contingencies and, if necessary, adjusts the amounts recorded as better information becomes known. |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions The Company accounts for its acquisitions under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations and Reorganizations ("ASC Topic 805"). ASC Topic 805 provides guidance on how the acquirer recognizes and measures the consideration transferred, identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, non-controlling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination. ASC Topic 805 also expands required disclosures surrounding the nature and financial effects of business combinations. |
Newly Adopted and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Newly Adopted and Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"), that, together with several subsequent updates, outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. Topic 606 is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 also provides for enhanced disclosure requirements surrounding revenue recognition beginning with the reporting period ending March 31, 2018 and we are currently preparing our responsive disclosures. Revenue on a significant portion of our contracts is currently recognized at the time of shipment of goods, transfer of title and customer acceptance, as required. Our revenue transactions generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods and are not accounted for under industry-specific guidance. We have obtained an understanding of the new standard and currently believe that we will retain much of the same accounting treatment used to recognize revenue under current standards. However, the adoption of this guidance will require us to accelerate the recognition of revenue as compared to current standards, for certain customers, in cases where we produce products unique to those customers; and for which we would have an enforceable right of payment for production completed to date. We have evaluated the impact of ASU No. 2014-09 on our financial results and will adopt this standard using the modified retrospective method, which requires the recognition of the cumulative effect of the transition as an adjustment to retained earnings for open contracts as of January 1, 2018. Based on the application of the changes described above, we expect to recognize a transition adjustment of no more than $10 million , net of tax effects, which will increase our January 1, 2018 retained earnings. Based on our existing operations, ASU No. 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact to net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016 - 02, Leases . The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard will require lessees to report most leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, while lessor accounting will remain substantially unchanged. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for existing leases, whereby the new rules will be applied to the earliest year presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on our financial statements. On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . Prospectively, beginning January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits/deficiencies are reflected as income tax benefit/expense in the statement of income, resulting in a $0.5 million tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2017. The extent of excess tax benefits/deficiencies is subject to variation in the Company’s stock price and timing/extent of employee stock option exercises. Under previous accounting guidance, when a share-based payment award such as a stock option was granted to an employee, the fair value of the award was generally recognized over the vesting period. However, the related deduction from taxes payable was based on the award’s intrinsic value at the time of exercise, which could be either greater (creating an excess tax benefit) or less (creating a tax deficiency) than the compensation cost recognized in the financial statements. Excess tax benefits were recognized in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) within equity, while deficiencies were first recorded to APIC to the extent previously recognized excess tax benefits existed, after which time deficiencies were recorded to income tax expense. The Company’s adoption of this ASU also resulted in associated excess tax benefits being classified as an operating activity in the same manner as other cash flows related to income taxes in the statement of cash flows prospectively beginning January 1, 2017. Based on the adoption methodology applied, the statement of cash flows classification of prior periods has not changed. As permitted by the ASU, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. None of the other provisions in this amended guidance had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard provides guidance in a number of situations including, among others, settlement of zero-coupon bonds, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and distributions received from equity method investees. The ASU also provides guidance for classifying cash receipts and payments that have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2016-15 as of January 1, 2017. There were no changes in classification to prior periods presented, and thus no impact was reflected in the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition presented. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which narrows the existing definition of a business and provides a framework for evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business. The ASU requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities (collectively, the set) is not a business. To be considered a business, the set would need to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The standard also narrows the definition of outputs. The definition of a business affects areas of accounting such as acquisitions, disposals and goodwill. Under the new guidance, fewer acquired sets are expected to be considered businesses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 on a prospective basis with early adoption permitted. The Company would apply this guidance to applicable transactions after the adoption date. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . Under the new standard, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. This ASU is effective prospectively to annual and interim impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2017. Accordingly, any goodwill impairment losses from that date forward are measured under the provisions of ASU 2017-04. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . This ASU changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. Under the new standard, only the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost would be included in operating expenses. All other net periodic benefit costs components (such as interest cost, prior service cost amortization and actuarial gain/loss amortization) would be reported outside of operating income. This ASU is effective January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. The components of the Company’s net periodic defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit costs are presented in Note 10. These include components totaling $1.7 million , $1.7 million and $1.9 million , for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, that would no longer be included within operating expenses and instead would be reported outside of income from operations under the new standard. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09 , Scope of Modification Accounting , that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The general model for accounting for modifications of share-based payment awards is to record the incremental value arising from the changes as additional compensation cost. Under the new standard, fewer changes to the terms of an award would require accounting under this modification model. This ASU is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Because the Company does not typically make changes to the terms or conditions of its issued share-based payment awards, this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition. |
Income Taxes | The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of tax benefits which are not expected to be realized. Investment tax credits are recognized on the flow through method. |
