Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Andersons, Inc. and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal and recurring items considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the periods indicated have been made. The results in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 . An unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017 has been included as the Company operates in several seasonal industries. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data at December 31, 2017 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in The Andersons, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”). New Accounting Standards Derivatives and Hedging In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12 Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This standard simplifies the recognition and presentation of changes in the fair value of hedging instruments and, among other things, eliminates the requirement to separately measure and record hedge ineffectiveness. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-12 during the current year noting the effects of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements were not material. There was no transition impact. Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, and December 2016 within ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, respectively. The core principle of the new revenue standard is that an entity recognizes revenue from the transfer of promised 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. The Company adopted the standard in the current year using the modified retrospective method. As a result of the adoption we recognized a cumulative catch-up transition adjustment in beginning retained earnings at January 1, 2018 for non-recourse financing transactions that were open as of December 31, 2017. This resulted in a $25.6 million increase in Rail Group net assets, $34.0 million increase in financing liabilities and deferred tax liabilities and $8.4 million decrease to retained earnings. See Note 7 for further detail. Leasing In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842). The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in July 2018 with ASU 2018-10 and in August 2018 with ASU 2018-11. ASC 842 supersedes the current accounting for leases. The new standard, while retaining two distinct types of leases, finance and operating, (i) requires lessees to record a right of use asset and a related liability for the rights and obligations associated with a lease, regardless of lease classification, and recognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting, (ii) eliminates current real estate specific lease provisions, (iii) modifies the lease classification criteria and (iv) aligns many of the underlying lessor model principles with those in the new revenue standard. ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within. Early adoption is permitted, however the Company does not plan to early adopt. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and must be adopted using either the modified retrospective approach, which requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or the optional alternative approach, which requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the standard’s effective date. The Company expects this standard to have the effect of bringing certain off balance-sheet rail assets onto the balance sheet along with a corresponding liability for the associated obligations. Additionally, we have other arrangements currently classified as operating leases which will be recorded as a right of use asset and corresponding liability on the balance sheet. We are currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Other applicable standards In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This ASU reduces the complexity of accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. This standard aligns the accounting for implementation costs of hosting arrangements, regardless of whether they convey a license to the hosted software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. This standard modified the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating when to adopt this standard but has not done so in the current period. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement which removes and modifies some existing disclosure requirements and adds others. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU. is currently evaluating when to adopt this standard but has not done so in the current period. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to reclassify stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in their consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We have evaluated the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements noting it is not material. Early adoption is permitted, but the Company has not chosen to do so at this time. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. Under this standard, if the vesting conditions, fair value, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification an entity would not apply modification accounting. The FASB then issued ASU 2018-07 which expands the scope to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The Company has adopted these standards during the year, noting no impact as the Company has not made any modifications to our stock compensation awards. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This standard requires that the service cost component be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employees during the period. The other components of net benefit costs should be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is presented. The Company has adopted this standard in the current year using the retrospective approach and prior periods have been recast to reflect this change, noting the amounts are immaterial. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This standard clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The Company has adopted this standard in the current year noting the impact is immaterial. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update changes the accounting for credit losses on loans and held-to-maturity debt securities and requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. This includes allowances for trade receivables. The Company has not historically incurred significant credit losses and does not currently anticipate circumstances that would lead to a CECL approach differing from the Company's existing allowance estimates in a material way. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but the Company does not plan to do so. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives | Derivatives The Company’s operating results are affected by changes to commodity prices. The Grain and Ethanol businesses have established “unhedged” position limits (the amount of a commodity, either owned or contracted for, that does not have an offsetting derivative contract to lock in the price). To reduce the exposure to market price risk on commodities owned and forward grain and ethanol purchase and sale contracts, the Company enters into exchange traded commodity futures and options contracts and over-the-counter forward and option contracts with various counterparties. These contracts are primarily traded via the regulated CME. The Company’s forward purchase and sales contracts are for physical delivery of the commodity in a future period. Contracts to purchase commodities from producers generally relate to the current or future crop years for delivery periods quoted by regulated commodity exchanges. Contracts for the sale of commodities to processors or other commercial consumers generally do not extend beyond one year . All these contracts meet the definition of derivatives. While the Company considers its commodity contracts to be effective economic hedges, the Company does not designate or account for its commodity contracts as hedges as defined under current accounting standards. The Company accounts for its commodity derivatives at estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the commodity derivative contracts that require the receipt or posting of cash collateral is recorded on a net basis (offset against cash collateral posted or received, also known as margin deposits) within commodity derivative assets or liabilities. Management determines fair value based on exchange-quoted prices and in the case of its forward purchase and sale contracts, estimated fair value is adjusted for differences in local markets and non-performance risk. For contracts for which physical delivery occurs, balance sheet classification is based on estimated delivery date. For futures, options and over-the-counter contracts in which physical delivery is not expected to occur but, rather, the contract is expected to be net settled, the Company classifies these contracts as current or noncurrent assets or liabilities, as appropriate, based on the Company’s expectations as to when such contracts will be settled. Realized and unrealized gains and losses in the value of commodity contracts (whether due to changes in commodity prices, changes in performance or credit risk, or due to sale, maturity or extinguishment of the commodity contract) and grain inventories are included in cost of sales and merchandising revenues. Generally accepted accounting principles permit a party to a master netting arrangement to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments against the right to reclaim cash collateral or obligation to return cash collateral under the same master netting arrangement. The Company has master netting arrangements for its exchange traded futures and options contracts and certain over-the-counter contracts. When the Company enters into a future, option or an over-the-counter contract, an initial margin deposit may be required by the counterparty. The amount of the margin deposit varies by commodity. If the market price of a future, option or an over-the-counter contract moves in a direction that is adverse to the Company’s position, an additional margin deposit, called a maintenance margin, is required. The margin deposit assets and liabilities are included in short-term commodity derivative assets or liabilities, as appropriate, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents at September 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 , a summary of the estimated fair value of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments that require cash collateral and the associated cash posted/received as collateral. The net asset or liability positions of these derivatives (net of their cash collateral) are determined on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis and are included within current or noncurrent commodity derivative assets (or liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 September 30, 2017 (in thousands) Net derivative asset position Net derivative liability position Net derivative asset position Net derivative liability position Net derivative asset position Net derivative liability position Collateral paid (received) $ 14,942 $ — $ 1,351 $ — $ 27,737 $ — Fair value of derivatives 36,653 — 17,252 — (999 ) — Balance at end of period $ 51,595 $ — $ 18,603 $ — $ 26,738 $ — The following table presents, on a gross basis, current and noncurrent commodity derivative assets and liabilities: September 30, 2018 (in thousands) Commodity Derivative Assets - Current Commodity Derivative Assets - Noncurrent Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Current Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Noncurrent Total Commodity derivative assets $ 69,957 $ 767 $ 731 $ 38 $ 71,493 Commodity derivative liabilities (8,038 ) (1 ) (92,134 ) (2,586 ) (102,759 ) Cash collateral 14,942 — — — 14,942 Balance sheet line item totals $ 76,861 $ 766 $ (91,403 ) $ (2,548 ) $ (16,324 ) December 31, 2017 (in thousands) Commodity Derivative Assets - Current Commodity Derivative Assets - Noncurrent Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Current Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Noncurrent Total Commodity derivative assets $ 36,929 $ 311 $ 489 $ 1 $ 37,730 Commodity derivative liabilities (7,578 ) (1 ) (30,140 ) (826 ) (38,545 ) Cash collateral 1,351 — — — 1,351 Balance sheet line item totals $ 30,702 $ 310 $ (29,651 ) $ (825 ) $ 536 September 30, 2017 (in thousands) Commodity Derivative Assets - Current Commodity Derivative Assets - Noncurrent Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Current Commodity Derivative Liabilities - Noncurrent Total Commodity derivative assets $ 33,804 $ 288 $ 676 $ 74 $ 34,842 Commodity derivative liabilities (16,339 ) (43 ) (39,254 ) (976 ) (56,612 ) Cash collateral 27,737 — — — 27,737 Balance sheet line item totals $ 45,202 $ 245 $ (38,578 ) $ (902 ) $ 5,967 The net pre-tax gains and losses on commodity derivatives not designated as hedging instruments included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the line items in which they are located for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows: Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Gains (losses) on commodity derivatives included in cost of sales and merchandising revenues $ (51,059 ) $ (690 ) $ (30,451 ) $ (15,538 ) The Company had the following volume of commodity derivative contracts outstanding (on a gross basis) at September 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 : September 30, 2018 Commodity (in thousands) Number of Bushels Number of Gallons Number of Pounds Number of Tons Non-exchange traded: Corn 277,774 — — — Soybeans 45,755 — — — Wheat 7,948 — — — Oats 31,155 — — — Ethanol — 230,813 — Corn oil — — 2,560 — Other — 1,000 — 115 Subtotal 362,632 231,813 2,560 115 Exchange traded: Corn 123,250 — — — Soybeans 31,855 — — — Wheat 44,130 — — — Oats 1,005 — — — Ethanol — 92,274 — — Subtotal 200,240 92,274 — — Total 562,872 324,087 2,560 115 December 31, 2017 Commodity (in thousands) Number of Bushels Number of Gallons Number of Pounds Number of Tons Non-exchange traded: Corn 218,391 — Soybeans 18,127 — — — Wheat 14,577 — — — Oats 25,953 — — — Ethanol — 197,607 — — Corn oil — — 6,074 — Other 47 — — 97 Subtotal 277,095 197,607 6,074 97 Exchange traded: Corn 82,835 — — — Soybeans 37,170 — — — Wheat 65,640 — — — Oats 1,345 — — — Ethanol — 39,438 — — Other — 840 — — Subtotal 186,990 40,278 — — Total 464,085 237,885 6,074 97 September 30, 2017 Commodity (in thousands) Number of Bushels Number of Gallons Number of Pounds Number of Tons Non-exchange traded: Corn 222,287 — — — Soybeans 44,463 — — — Wheat 8,598 — — — Oats 36,451 — — — Ethanol — 201,521 — Corn oil — — 5,782 — Other 51 — 110 Subtotal 311,850 201,521 5,782 110 Exchange traded: Corn 113,990 — — — Soybeans 45,220 — — — Wheat 61,795 — — — Oats 895 — — — Ethanol — 22,890 — — Other — 840 — — Subtotal 221,900 23,730 — — Total 533,750 225,251 5,782 110 Interest Rate and Other Derivatives The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. At September 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 , the Company had recorded the following amounts for the fair value of the Company's other derivatives: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 September 30, 2017 (in thousands) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Interest rate contracts included in Other long-term assets (Other long-term liabilities) $ 193 $ (1,244 ) $ (1,929 ) Foreign currency contracts included in Other current assets (Accrued expenses and other current liabilities) (737 ) 426 1,605 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Interest rate contract included in Other assets 227 — — The recording of derivatives gains and losses and the financial statement line in which they are located are as follows: Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, (in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Interest rate derivative gains (losses) included in Interest income (expense) $ 521 $ 229 $ 1,662 $ 601 Foreign currency derivative gains (losses) included in Other income, net 372 950 (1,163 ) 1,717 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Interest rate derivative gains (losses) included in OCI 159 — 226 — Interest rate derivatives gains (losses) included in Interest income (expense) 54 — 126 — As of September 30, 2018 , the Company had one outstanding interest rate derivative, with a notional amount of $40 million |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | Revenue Many of the Company’s revenues are generated from contracts that are outside the scope of ASC 606 and thus are accounted for under other accounting standards. Specifically, many of the Company's Grain and Ethanol sales contracts are derivatives under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging and the Rail Group's leasing revenue is accounted for under ASC 840, Leases . The breakdown of revenues between ASC 606 and other standards is as follows: (in thousands) Three months ended September 30, 2018 Nine months ended September 30, 2018 Revenues under ASC 606 $ 156,394 $ 706,927 Revenues under ASC 840 25,853 78,110 Revenues under ASC 815 503,332 1,447,683 Total Revenues $ 685,579 $ 2,232,720 The remainder of this note applies only to those revenues that are accounted for under ASC 606. Disaggregation of revenue The following tables disaggregate revenues under ASC 606 by major product/service line: Three months ended September 30, 2018 (in thousands) Grain Ethanol Plant Nutrient Rail Total Specialty nutrients $ — $ — $ 36,856 $ — $ 36,856 Primary nutrients — — 60,460 — 60,460 Services 3,052 2,713 877 8,925 15,567 Co-products — 29,282 — — 29,282 Other 245 — 5,996 7,988 14,229 Total $ 3,297 $ 31,995 $ 104,189 $ 16,913 $ 156,394 For the three months ended September 30, 2018 , approximately 10% of revenues accounted for under ASC 606 are recorded over time which primarily relates to service revenues noted above. Nine months ended September 30, 2018 (in thousands) Grain Ethanol Plant Nutrient Rail Total Specialty nutrients $ — $ — $ 206,215 $ — $ 206,215 Primary nutrients — — 313,967 — 313,967 Service 10,851 8,018 3,498 26,350 48,717 Co-products — 88,390 — — 88,390 Other 747 — 19,231 29,660 49,638 Total $ 11,598 $ 96,408 $ 542,911 $ 56,010 $ 706,927 For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , approximately 7% of revenues accounted for under ASC 606 are recorded over time which primarily relates to service revenues noted above. Specialty and primary nutrients The Company sells several different types of specialty nutrient products, including: low-salt liquid starter fertilizers, micro-nutrients and other specialty lawn products. These products can be sold through the wholesale distribution channels as well as directly to end users at the farm center locations. Similarly, the Company sells several different types of primary nutrient products, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These products may be purchased and re-sold as is or sold as finished goods resulting from a blending and manufacturing process. The contracts associated with specialty and primary nutrients generally have just a single performance obligation, as the Company has elected the accounting policy to consider shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs. Revenue is recognized when control of the product has passed to the customer. Payment terms generally range from 0 - 30 days. Service Service revenues primarily relate to the railcar repair business. The Company owns several railcar repair shops which repair railcars through specific contracts with customers or by operating as an agent for a particular railroad to repair cars that are on its rail line per Association of American Railroads (“AAR”) standards. These contracts contain a single performance obligation which is to complete the requested and/or required repairs on the railcars. As the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the repair work we perform, revenue for these contracts is recognized over time. The Company uses an input-based measure of progress using costs incurred to total expected costs as that is the measure that most faithfully depicts our progress towards satisfying our performance obligation. Upon completion of the work, the invoice is sent to the customer, with payment terms that generally range from 0 - 30 days. Co-products In addition to the ethanol sales contracts that are considered derivative instruments, the Ethanol Group sells several other co-products that remain subject to ASC 606, including E-85, DDGs, syrups and renewable identification numbers (“RINs”). RINs are credits for compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's Renewable Fuel Standard program and are created by renewable fuel producers. Contracts for these co-products generally have a single performance obligation, as the Company has elected the accounting policy to consider shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs. Revenue is recognized when control of the product has passed to the customer which follows shipping terms on the contract. Payment terms generally range from 5 - 15 days. Contract balances The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities are as follows: (in thousands) Contract liabilities Balance at January 1, 2018 $ 25,520 Balance at March 31, 2018 67,715 Balance at June 30, 2018 10,047 Balance at September 30, 2018 29,836 The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. Contract liabilities relate to the Plant Nutrient business for payments received in advance of fulfilling our performance obligations under our customer contracts. Due to seasonality of this business, contract liabilities were built up in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the change in liabilities is due to revenue recognized in the current period relating to the liability. This liability then increased in the third quarter primarily as a result of payments received in advance of fulfilling our performance obligations under our customer contracts in preparation for early spring. Impact of New Revenue Guidance on Financial Statement Line Items The following table compares the reported condensed consolidated balance sheet, as of September 30, 2018 , to the pro forma amounts had the previous guidance been in effect: Balance Sheet September 30, 2018 (in thousands) As Reported ASC 606 Impact Pro forma as if the previous accounting guidance was in effect Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 16,820 $ — $ 16,820 Accounts receivable, net 206,380 — 206,380 Inventories 490,331 178 490,509 Commodity derivative assets - current 76,861 — 76,861 Other current assets 87,901 (268 ) 87,633 Other noncurrent assets 374,044 — 374,044 Rail Group assets leased to others, net 464,776 (23,337 ) 441,439 Property, plant and equipment, net 434,505 — 434,505 Total assets 2,151,618 (23,427 ) 2,128,191 Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt 147,677 (3,772 ) 143,905 Trade and other payables and accrued expenses and other current liabilities 413,331 — 413,331 Commodity derivative liabilities - current 91,403 — 91,403 Customer prepayments and deferred revenue 38,242 — 38,242 Commodity derivative liabilities - noncurrent and Other long-term liabilities 33,163 — 33,163 Employee benefit plan obligations 25,356 — 25,356 Long-term debt, less current maturities 437,280 (31,018 ) 406,262 Deferred income taxes 122,523 2,869 125,392 Total liabilities 1,308,975 (31,921 ) 1,277,054 Retained earnings 628,676 8,494 637,170 Common shares, additional paid-in-capital, treasury shares, accumulated other comprehensive loss and noncontrolling interests 213,967 — 213,967 Total equity 842,643 8,494 851,137 Total liabilities and equity $ 2,151,618 $ (23,427 ) $ 2,128,191 Total reported assets were $23.4 million greater than on the pro forma balance sheet, which assumes the previous guidance remained in effect as of September 30, 2018 . This was largely due to the Rail Group assets that were recorded on the balance sheet on January 1, 2018 as part of the cumulative catch-up adjustment upon the adoption of ASC 606. Total reported liabilities were $31.9 million greater than on the pro forma balance sheet, which assumes the previous guidance remained in effect as of September 30, 2018 . This was largely due to the financing obligation and deferred taxes related to the Rail Group assets that were recorded on the balance sheet on January 1, 2018 as part of the cumulative catch-up adjustment upon the adoption of ASC 606. The following table compares the reported condensed statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , to the pro forma amounts had the previous guidance been in effect: Statement of Operations Three months ended September 30, 2018 (in thousands) As Reported ASC 606 Impact Pro forma as if the previous accounting guidance was in effect Sales and merchandising revenues $ 685,579 $ 173,183 $ 858,762 Cost of sales and merchandising revenues 631,715 173,706 805,421 Gross profit 53,864 (523 ) 53,341 Operating, administrative and general expenses 65,986 — 65,986 Asset impairment — — — Interest expense 5,176 (387 ) 4,789 Other income: Equity in earnings of affiliates, net 7,225 — 7,225 Other income, net 6,434 — 6,434 Income (loss) before income taxes (3,639 ) (136 ) (3,775 ) Income tax provision (1,764 ) (34 ) (1,798 ) Net income (loss) (1,875 ) (102 ) (1,977 ) Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests 223 — 223 Net income (loss) attributable to The Andersons, Inc. $ (2,098 ) $ (102 ) $ (2,200 ) Statement of Operations Nine months ended September 30, 2018 (in thousands) As Reported ASC 606 Impact Pro forma as if the previous accounting guidance was in effect Sales and merchandising revenues $ 2,232,720 $ 522,648 $ 2,755,368 Cost of sales and merchandising revenues 2,024,677 524,121 2,548,798 Gross profit 208,043 (1,473 ) 206,570 Operating, administrative and general expenses 190,096 — 190,096 Asset impairment 6,272 — 6,272 Interest expense 20,000 (1,185 ) 18,815 Other income: Equity in earnings of affiliates, net 20,601 — 20,601 Other income, net 10,949 — 10,949 Income (loss) before income taxes 23,225 (288 ) 22,937 Income tax provision 5,668 (72 ) 5,596 Net income (loss) 17,557 (216 ) 17,341 Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests (175 ) — (175 ) Net income (loss) attributable to The Andersons, Inc. $ 17,732 $ (216 ) $ 17,516 The following summarizes the significant changes on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 compared to the results that would have been reported if the Company had continued to recognize revenues under ASC 605: • While grain origination agreements, and their related sales contracts, will be accounted for under ASC 815, we are still required to evaluate the principal versus agent guidance in ASC 606 to determine whether realized gains or losses should be presented on a gross or net basis in the consolidated statements of operations upon physical settlement. The Company has determined that it is the agent in certain origination arrangements within our Grain Group and therefore realized gains or losses will be presented under ASC 606. Since these transactions are now being recorded on a net basis, revenues and related cost of sales would have been $170.4 million and $ 515.4 million higher under the previous guidance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. • ASC 606 requires certain Rail Group assets and related financing obligations to be recorded on the balance sheet as these transactions no longer qualify as sales as a result of the existence of repurchase options within the sales contracts. The result of this change primarily impacts geography within the income statement, as lease expense to the financial institution is replaced with a combination of depreciation and interest expense. The net impact of accounting for revenue under the new guidance had an immaterial impact on net income (loss) and no impact on the Company's earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . The adoption of ASC 606 had an immaterial on the Company’s cash flows from operations. The aforementioned impacts resulted in offsetting shifts in cash flows throughout net income and various changes in working capital balances. Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations ASC 606 requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied at period end. The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement. The Company has various contracts that meet the following practical expedients provided by ASC 606: • The performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. • The variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-14(b), for which the criteria in ASC 606-10-32-40 have been met. Contract costs The company has elected to apply the practical expedient and accordingly recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in Operating, administrative and general expenses. Significant judgments In making its determination of standalone selling price, the Company maximizes its use of observable inputs. Standalone selling price, once established, is then used to allocate total consideration proportionally to the various performance obligations, if applicable, within a contract. To estimate variable consideration, the Company applies both the “expected value” method and “most likely amount” method based on the form of variable consideration, according to which method would provide the best prediction. The expected value method involves a probability-weighted determination of the expected amount, whereas the most likely amount method identifies the single most likely outcome in a range of possible amounts. However, once a method has been applied to one form of variable consideration, it is applied consistently throughout the contract term. The primary types of variable consideration present in the Company’s contracts are product returns, volume rebates and the CPI index. The overall impact of this variable consideration is not material. Practical expedients The Company has elected to apply the following practical expedients provided by ASC 606: • Future performance obligations - see discussion above. • Contract costs - see discussion above. • Shipping and handling activities - see discussion above. • Sales tax presentation - the Company has elected to exclude from the transaction price all sales taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer. • |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year and makes changes if necessary based on new information or events. The estimated annual effective tax rate is forecast based on actual historical information and forward-looking estimates and is used to provide for income taxes in interim reporting periods. The Company also recognizes the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, such as the effects of changes in tax laws or rates and impacts from settlements with tax authorities, discretely in the quarter in which they occur. The Company recorded income tax benefit of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, an effective income tax rate of 48.5% , as compared to income tax expense of $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an effective income tax rate of 47.7% . Income tax expense was $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an effective income tax rate of 24.4% , as compared to $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an effective income tax rate of (38.2)% . The current year income tax expense for both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 reflect the reduction in the U.S. statutory tax rate and other U.S. tax law changes as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018, is higher than our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017, due to the current period loss before income taxes and additional tax benefits from tax credits and permanent provision to return items, including reversal of the provisional estimate for transition tax. These items resulted in a net increase of 14.8% , offset by the decrease in the U.S. federal statutory rate of 14% . Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, is higher than our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as attributed to the Company’s loss before income taxes in the period ended September 31, 2017, after a goodwill write-off which did not provide a corresponding tax benefit. This was partially offset in the current period by the reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The company’s accounting for certain elements of the Tax Act was incomplete as of the period ended December 31, 2017, and remains incomplete as of September 30, 2018. However, the company was able to make reasonable estimates of the effects and, therefore, recorded provisional estimates for these items. In connection with its initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Act, the Company recorded a provisional discrete net tax benefit of $73.5 million in the period ended December 31, 2017. This provisional estimate consists of a net expense of $1.4 million for the one-time transition tax and a net benefit of $74.9 million related to revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, caused by the new lower corporate tax rate. To determine the transition tax provisional estimate, the Company determined the estimate of the amount of post-1986 accumulated earnings and profits of the relevant subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings. While the Company was able to make a reasonable estimate of the impact of the reduction to the corporate tax rate, its rate may be affected by other analysis related to the Tax Act, including, but not limited to, the state tax effect of adjustments made to federal temporary differences. Due to the complexity of the new global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") tax rules, the company is continuing to evaluate this provision of the Tax Act and the application of ASC 740. Under GAAP, the Company is allowed to make an accounting policy choice to either (i) treat taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method"); or (ii) factor in such amounts into a company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). The Company’s selection of an accounting policy with respect to the new GILTI tax rules is dependent on additional analysis and potential future modifications to existing structures, which are not currently known. The Company has not made a policy decision regarding whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI. The Company will continue to analyze the full effects of the Tax Act on its Consolidated Financial Statements. During the third quarter of 2018, a portion of initial estimate was refined as a result of the US federal tax return filing and regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service. As a result, the Company recorded a provisional benefit of $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2018 to reverse the one-time transition tax expense provisional estimate, as well as a $1.3 million |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share The Company’s non-vested restricted stock that was granted prior to March 2015 is considered a participating security since the share-based awards contain a non-forfeitable right to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

(d) Included in other assets and liabilities are assets held in rabbi trusts to fund deferred compensation plans, ethanol risk management contracts, and foreign exchange derivative contracts (Level 1), and interest rate derivatives (Level 2). The majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on the market approach valuation technique. With the market approach, fair value is derived using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Level 1 commodity derivatives reflect the fair value of the exchange-traded futures and options contracts that the Company holds, net of the cash collateral that the Company has in its margin account. The Company’s net commodity derivatives primarily consist of futures or options contracts via regulated exchanges and contracts with producers or customers under which the future settlement date and bushels (or gallons in the case of ethanol contracts) of commodities to be delivered (primarily wheat, corn, soybeans and ethanol) are fixed and under which the price may or may not be fixed. Depending on the specifics of the individual contracts, the fair value is derived from the futures or options prices on the CME or the New York Mercantile Exchange for similar commodities and delivery dates as well as observable quotes for local basis adjustments (the difference, which is attributable to local market conditions, between the quoted futures price and the local cash price). Because basis for a particular commodity and location typically has multiple quoted prices from other agribusinesses in the same geographical vicinity and is used as a common pricing mechanism in the Agribusiness industry, we have concluded that basis is a Level 2 fair value input for purposes of the fair value disclosure requirements related to our commodity derivatives. Although nonperformance risk, both of the Company and the counterparty, is present in each of these commodity contracts and is a component of the estimated fair values, based on the Company’s historical experience with its producers and customers and the Company’s knowledge of their businesses, the Company does not view nonperformance risk to be a material input to fair value for these commodity contracts. These fair value disclosures exclude physical grain inventories measured at net realizable value. The net realizable value used to measure the Company’s agricultural commodity inventories is the fair value (spot price of the commodity in an exchange), less cost of disposal and transportation based on the local market. This valuation would generally be considered Level 2. The amount is disclosed in Note 2. Changes in the net realizable value of commodity inventories are recognized as a component of cost of sales and merchandising revenues. Provisionally priced contract liabilities are those for which the Company has taken ownership and possession of grain but the final purchase price has not been established. In the case of payables where the unpriced portion of the contract is limited to the futures price of the underlying commodity or the Company has delivered provisionally priced grain and a subsequent payable or receivable is set up for any future changes in the grain price, quoted CBOT prices are used and the liability is deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. All other unpriced contracts, primarily delayed price contracts, are determined on the basis of local grain market prices at the balance sheet date and, as such, are deemed to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as they include variable future and basis components. The risk management contract liability allows related ethanol customers to effectively unprice the futures component of their inventory for a period of time, subjecting the bushels to market fluctuations. The Company records an asset or liability for the market value changes of the commodities over the life of the contracts based on quoted CBOT prices and as such, the balance is deemed to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. A reconciliation of beginning and ending balances for the Company’s fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs is as follows: Convertible Preferred Securities (in thousands) 2018 2017 Assets (liabilities) at January 1, $ 7,388 $ 3,294 Gains (losses) included in earnings — — Assets (liabilities) at March 31, $ 7,388 $ 3,294 Gains (losses) included in earnings — — New investments 100 — Asset (liabilities) at June 30, $ 7,488 $ 3,294 Gains (losses) included in earnings 5,080 — Unrealized gains (losses) included in other comprehensive income — 344 New investments 986 3,000 Sale proceeds (6,400 ) — Asset (liability) at September 30, $ 7,154 $ 6,638 The following tables summarize quantitative information about the Company's Level 3 fair value measurements as of September 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 : Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements (in thousands) Fair Value as of September 30, 2018 Valuation Method Unobservable Input Weighted Average Convertible preferred securities (a) $ 7,154 Implied based on market prices N/A N/A (in thousands) Fair Value as of December 31, 2017 Valuation Method Unobservable Input Weighted Average Convertible preferred securities (a) $ 7,388 Implied based on market prices N/A N/A Real Property (b) 29,347 Third-Party Appraisal N/A N/A (in thousands) Fair Value as of September 30, 2017 Valuation Method Unobservable Input Weighted Average Convertible preferred securities (a) $ 6,638 Implied based on market prices N/A N/A (a) Due to early stages of business and timing of investments, implied value based on market price was deemed to approximate fair value. As the underlying enterprises have matured, observable price changes and other additional market data is available to consider in order to estimate fair value, including additional capital raising, internal valuation models, progress towards key business milestones, and other relevant market data points. (b) The Company recognized impairment charges on certain assets and measured the fair value using Level 3 inputs on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of the assets was determined using prior transactions, third-party appraisals and a pending sale of grain assets held by the Company. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using quoted market prices or discounted future cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. As such, the Company has concluded that the fair value of long-term debt is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company’s operations include four reportable business segments that are distinguished primarily on the basis of products and services offered. The Grain business includes grain merchandising, the operation of terminal grain elevator facilities and the investments in LTG and Thompsons Limited. The Ethanol business purchases and sells ethanol, and provides risk management, origination and management services to ethanol production facilities. These facilities are organized as limited liability companies, two are consolidated and three are investments accounted for under the equity method. The Company performs a combination of these services under various contracts for these investments. The Plant Nutrient business manufactures and distributes agricultural inputs, primarily fertilizer, to dealers and farmers, along with turf care and corncob-based products. Rail operations include the leasing, marketing and fleet management of railcars and other assets, railcar repair and metal fabrication. Prior to 2018, the Company reported the Retail operations as a fifth reportable business segment even though it did not meet the quantitative thresholds for segment disclosures. As previously disclosed, the Company closed the Retail business during 2017, and accordingly has recast the prior results for this segment within the Other category, which also includes other corporate level costs not attributable to an operating segment. The segment information below includes the allocation of expenses shared by one or more operating segments. Although management believes such allocations are reasonable, the operating information does not necessarily reflect how such data might appear if the segments were operated as separate businesses. Inter-segment sales are made at prices comparable to normal, unaffiliated customer sales. The Company does not have any customers who represent 10 percent or more of total revenues.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies The Company is party to litigation, or threats thereof, both as defendant and plaintiff with some regularity, although individual cases that are material in size occur infrequently. As a defendant, the Company establishes reserves for claimed amounts that are considered probable and capable of estimation. If those cases are resolved for lesser amounts, the excess reserves are taken into income and, conversely, if those cases are resolved for larger than the amount the Company has accrued, the Company records additional expense. The Company believes it is unlikely that the results of its current legal proceedings for which it is the defendant, even if unfavorable, will be material. As a plaintiff, amounts that are collected can also result in sudden, non-recurring income. Litigation results depend upon a variety of factors, including the availability of evidence, the credibility of witnesses, the performance of counsel, the state of the law, and the impressions of judges and jurors, any of which can be critical in importance, yet difficult, if not impossible, to predict. Consequently, cases currently pending, or future matters, may result in unexpected, and non-recurring losses, or income, from time to time. Finally, litigation results are often subject to judicial reconsideration, appeal and further negotiation by the parties, and as a result, the final impact of a particular judicial decision may be unknown for some time, or may result in continued reserves to account for the potential of such post-verdict actions. In the third quarter of 2017, the Company’s Plant Nutrient business recorded a $2.2 million reserve for settlement of a 2015 legal claim. The estimated losses for all other outstanding claims that are considered reasonably possible is not material. Commitments In the first quarter of 2018, the Company began construction of a new ethanol facility, which is expected to be completed in 2019. Portions of the project are covered by design and build contracts, with approximately $105.9 million of remaining obligation, of which $10.5 million has been prepaid, as of September 30, 2018 . Build-to-Suit Lease In August 2015, the Company entered into a lease agre ement with an initial term of 15 years for a build-to-suit facility to be used as the new corporate headquarters which was completed in the third quarter of 2016. Since the Company is deemed to be the owner of this facility for accounting purposes during the construction period, it has recognized an asset and a corresponding financing obligation. The Company has recorded a build-to-suit financing obligation in other long-term liabilities of $23.1 million , $24.3 million , and $24.7 million at September 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 , and September 30, 2017 , respectively. The Company has recorded a build-to-suit financing obligation in other current liabilities of $1.5 million , $1.4 million , and $1.4 million at September 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 , and September 30, 2017 |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards Derivatives and Hedging In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12 Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This standard simplifies the recognition and presentation of changes in the fair value of hedging instruments and, among other things, eliminates the requirement to separately measure and record hedge ineffectiveness. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-12 during the current year noting the effects of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements were not material. There was no transition impact. Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, and December 2016 within ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, respectively. The core principle of the new revenue standard is that an entity recognizes revenue from the transfer of promised 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. The Company adopted the standard in the current year using the modified retrospective method. As a result of the adoption we recognized a cumulative catch-up transition adjustment in beginning retained earnings at January 1, 2018 for non-recourse financing transactions that were open as of December 31, 2017. This resulted in a $25.6 million increase in Rail Group net assets, $34.0 million increase in financing liabilities and deferred tax liabilities and $8.4 million decrease to retained earnings. See Note 7 for further detail. Leasing In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842). The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in July 2018 with ASU 2018-10 and in August 2018 with ASU 2018-11. ASC 842 supersedes the current accounting for leases. The new standard, while retaining two distinct types of leases, finance and operating, (i) requires lessees to record a right of use asset and a related liability for the rights and obligations associated with a lease, regardless of lease classification, and recognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting, (ii) eliminates current real estate specific lease provisions, (iii) modifies the lease classification criteria and (iv) aligns many of the underlying lessor model principles with those in the new revenue standard. ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within. Early adoption is permitted, however the Company does not plan to early adopt. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and must be adopted using either the modified retrospective approach, which requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or the optional alternative approach, which requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the standard’s effective date. The Company expects this standard to have the effect of bringing certain off balance-sheet rail assets onto the balance sheet along with a corresponding liability for the associated obligations. Additionally, we have other arrangements currently classified as operating leases which will be recorded as a right of use asset and corresponding liability on the balance sheet. We are currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Other applicable standards In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. This ASU reduces the complexity of accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. This standard aligns the accounting for implementation costs of hosting arrangements, regardless of whether they convey a license to the hosted software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. This standard modified the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating when to adopt this standard but has not done so in the current period. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement which removes and modifies some existing disclosure requirements and adds others. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU. is currently evaluating when to adopt this standard but has not done so in the current period. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to reclassify stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in their consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We have evaluated the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements noting it is not material. Early adoption is permitted, but the Company has not chosen to do so at this time. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. Under this standard, if the vesting conditions, fair value, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification an entity would not apply modification accounting. The FASB then issued ASU 2018-07 which expands the scope to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The Company has adopted these standards during the year, noting no impact as the Company has not made any modifications to our stock compensation awards. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This standard requires that the service cost component be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employees during the period. The other components of net benefit costs should be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is presented. The Company has adopted this standard in the current year using the retrospective approach and prior periods have been recast to reflect this change, noting the amounts are immaterial. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This standard clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The Company has adopted this standard in the current year noting the impact is immaterial. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update changes the accounting for credit losses on loans and held-to-maturity debt securities and requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) approach to determine the allowance for credit losses. This includes allowances for trade receivables. The Company has not historically incurred significant credit losses and does not currently anticipate circumstances that would lead to a CECL approach differing from the Company's existing allowance estimates in a material way. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but the Company does not plan to do so. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The FASB issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in February 2018 and March 2018 within ASU 2018-03 and ASU 2018-04, respectively. This standard provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The Company has adopted this standard in the current year noting the impact is immaterial. |
