Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Consolidation Lear consolidates all entities, including variable interest entities, in which it has a controlling financial interest. Investments in affiliates in which Lear does not have control, but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method (Note 5 , " Investments in Affiliates and Other Related Party Transactions "). Fiscal Period Reporting The Company’s annual financial results are reported on a calendar year basis, and quarterly interim results are reported using a thirteen week reporting calendar. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. Accounts Receivable The Company records accounts receivable as title is transferred to its customers. The Company’s customers are the world’s major automotive manufacturers. The Company records accounts receivable reserves for known collectibility issues, as such issues relate to specific transactions or customer balances. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , accounts receivable are reflected net of reserves of $41.8 million and $32.8 million , respectively. The Company writes off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent, based upon age or customer circumstances, that such amounts will not be collected. Generally, the Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company records reserves for inventory in excess of production and/or forecasted requirements and for obsolete inventory in production and service inventories. A summary of inventories is shown below (in millions): December 31, 2017 2016 Raw materials $ 869.3 $ 746.3 Work-in-process 120.8 106.4 Finished goods 324.8 262.3 Reserves (109.2 ) (94.4 ) Inventories $ 1,205.7 $ 1,020.6 Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Agreements The Company incurs pre-production engineering and development ("E&D") and tooling costs related to the products produced for its customers under long-term supply agreements. The Company expenses all pre-production E&D costs for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer. In addition, the Company expenses all pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company does not have a non-cancelable right to use the tooling. During 2017 and 2016 , the Company capitalized $257.4 million and $179.3 million , respectively, of pre-production E&D costs for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer. During 2017 and 2016 , the Company also capitalized $115.4 million and $96.0 million , respectively, of pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company has a non-cancelable right to use the tooling. These amounts are included in other current and long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. During 2017 and 2016 , the Company collected $311.1 million and $264.6 million , respectively, of cash related to E&D and tooling costs. The classification of recoverable customer E&D and tooling costs related to long-term supply agreements is shown below (in millions): December 31, 2017 2016 Current $ 248.1 $ 185.9 Long-term 59.3 43.4 Recoverable customer E&D and tooling $ 307.4 $ 229.3 Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Costs associated with the repair and maintenance of the Company’s property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the Company’s property, plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Depreciable property is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using principally the straight-line method as follows: Buildings and improvements 10 to 40 years Machinery and equipment 5 to 10 years A summary of property, plant and equipment is shown below (in millions): December 31, 2017 2016 Land $ 118.8 $ 101.7 Buildings and improvements 797.7 648.1 Machinery and equipment 3,077.4 2,459.6 Construction in progress 355.6 296.4 Total property, plant and equipment 4,349.5 3,505.8 Less – accumulated depreciation (1,890.1 ) (1,486.5 ) Net property, plant and equipment $ 2,459.4 $ 2,019.3 For the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , depreciation expense was $380.1 million , $325.2 million and $295.3 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , capital expenditures recorded in accounts payable totaled $119.7 million , $117.8 million and $91.6 million , respectively. Impairment of Goodwill Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Impairment testing is required more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In conducting its annual impairment testing, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If not, no further goodwill impairment testing is required. If it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit, the Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the related net book value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. The Company conducts its annual impairment testing as of the first day of its fourth quarter. The Company utilizes an income approach to estimate the fair value of each of its reporting units and a market valuation approach to further support this analysis. The income approach is based on projected debt-free cash flow which is discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. The Company believes that this approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value estimate based upon the reporting unit’s expected long-term operating cash flow performance. This approach also mitigates the impact of cyclical trends that occur in the industry. Fair value is estimated using recent automotive industry and specific platform production volume projections, which are based on both third-party and internally developed forecasts, as well as commercial and discount rate assumptions. The discount rate used is the value-weighted average of the Company’s estimated cost of equity and of debt ("cost of capital") derived using both known and estimated customary market metrics. The Company’s weighted average cost of capital is adjusted by reporting unit to reflect a risk factor, if necessary. Other significant assumptions include terminal value growth rates, terminal value margin rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. While there are inherent uncertainties related to the assumptions used and to management’s application of these assumptions to this analysis, the Company believes that the income approach provides a reasonable estimate of the fair value of its reporting units. The market valuation approach is used to further support the Company’s analysis and is based on recent transactions involving comparable companies. In 2017 , the Company performed a qualitative assessment of its reporting units. The assessment was completed as of the first day of our fourth quarter. The assessment indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its respective carrying value. The Company does not believe that any of our reporting units is at risk for impairment. A summary of the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for each of the periods in the two years ended December 31, 2017 , is shown below (in millions): Seating E-Systems Total Balance as of December 31, 2015 $ 1,026.8 $ 27.0 $ 1,053.8 Acquisitions 72.0 2.6 74.6 Affiliate transaction 8.9 — 8.9 Foreign currency translation and other (16.5 ) 0.5 (16.0 ) Balance as of December 31, 2016 1,091.2 30.1 1,121.3 Acquisition 123.3 — 123.3 Affiliate transaction — 94.4 94.4 Foreign currency translation and other 59.9 2.4 62.3 Balance as of December 31, 2017 $ 1,274.4 $ 126.9 $ 1,401.3 For further information related to acquisitions and affiliate transactions, see Note 3 , " Acquisitions ," and Note 5 , " Investments in Affiliates and Other Related Party Transactions ." Intangible Assets As of December 31, 2017 , intangible assets consist primarily of certain intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Guilford Mills in 2012, Eagle Ottawa in 2015, AccuMED in 2016 and Antolin Seating in 2017 (Note 3 , " Acquisitions "). These intangible assets were recorded at their estimated fair value, based on independent appraisals, as of the transaction or acquisition date. The value assigned to technology intangibles is based on the royalty savings method, which applies a hypothetical royalty rate to projected revenues attributable to the identified technologies. Royalty rates were determined based primarily on analysis of market information. The customer-based intangible asset includes the acquired entity's established relationships with its customers and the ability of these customers to generate future economic profits for the Company. The value assigned to customer-based intangibles is based on the present value of future earnings attributable to the asset group after recognition of required returns to other contributory assets. A summary of intangible assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , is shown below (in millions): Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Value Weighted Average Useful Life (years) Technology $ 22.2 $ (9.3 ) $ 12.9 8.6 Customer-based 544.6 (113.9 ) 430.7 11.6 Other 1.4 (0.9 ) 0.5 5.2 Balance as of December 31, 2017 $ 568.2 $ (124.1 ) $ 444.1 11.5 Intangible assets with a gross carrying value of $17.0 million became fully amortized in 2017 and are no longer included in the intangible asset gross carrying value or accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2017.

If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required impairment analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is estimated based upon either discounted cash flow analyses or estimated salvage values. Cash flows are estimated using internal budgets based on recent sales data, independent automotive production volume estimates and customer commitments, as well as assumptions related to discount rates. For the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , the Company recognized fixed asset impairment charges of $1.3 million , $4.7 million and $3.9 million respectively, in conjunction with its restructuring actions (Note 4 , " Restructuring "), as well as additional fixed asset impairment charges of $2.1 million , $0.7 million and $1.8 million , respectively. Fixed asset impairment charges are recorded in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 . Impairment of Investments in Affiliates The Company monitors its investments in affiliates for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in value on an ongoing basis in accordance with GAAP. If the Company determines that an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred, it recognizes an impairment loss, which is measured as the difference between the recorded book value and the fair value of the investment. Fair value is generally determined using an income approach based on discounted cash flows or negotiated transaction values. Revenue Recognition and Sales Commitments The Company enters into agreements with its customers to produce products at the beginning of a vehicle’s life cycle. Although such agreements do not provide for a specified quantity of products, once the Company enters into such agreements, the Company is generally required to fulfill its customers’ purchasing requirements for the production life of the vehicle. These agreements generally may be terminated by the Company’s customers at any time. Historically, terminations of these agreements have been minimal. Sales are generally recorded upon shipment of product to customers and transfer of title under standard commercial terms. In certain instances, the Company may be committed under existing agreements to supply products to its customers at selling prices which are not sufficient to cover the direct cost to produce such products. In such situations, the Company recognizes losses as they are incurred. The Company receives purchase orders from its customers on an annual basis. Generally, each purchase order provides the annual terms, including pricing, related to a particular vehicle model. Purchase orders do not specify quantities. The Company recognizes revenue based on the pricing terms included in its annual purchase orders. The Company is asked to provide its customers with annual price reductions as part of certain agreements. The Company accrues for such amounts as a reduction of revenue as its products are shipped to its customers. In addition, the Company has ongoing adjustments to its pricing arrangements with its customers based on the related content, the cost of its products and other commercial factors. Such pricing accruals are adjusted as they are settled with the Company’s customers. Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales in the consolidated statements of income. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income. Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Cost of sales includes material, labor and overhead costs associated with the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products. Distribution costs include inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs and other costs of the Company’s distribution network. Selling, general and administrative expenses include selling, engineering and development and administrative costs not directly associated with the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products. Restructuring Costs Restructuring costs include employee termination benefits, fixed asset impairment charges and contract termination costs, as well as other incremental costs resulting from the restructuring actions. These incremental costs principally include equipment and personnel relocation costs. In addition to restructuring costs, the Company also incurs incremental manufacturing inefficiency costs at the operating locations impacted by the restructuring actions during the related restructuring implementation period. Restructuring costs are recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Generally, charges are recorded as restructuring actions are approved and/or implemented. Engineering and Development Costs incurred in connection with product launches, to the extent not recoverable from the Company’s customers, are charged to cost of sales as incurred. All other engineering and development costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses when incurred. Engineering and development costs charged to selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $147.9 million , $143.7 million and $126.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Other (Income) Expense, Net Other (income) expense, net includes non-income related taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative instruments and hedging activities, gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt (Note 6 , " Debt "), gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets and other miscellaneous income and expense. A summary of other (income) expense, net is shown below (in millions): For the year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Other expense $ 57.2 $ 42.2 $ 71.4 Other income (61.3 ) (35.8 ) (2.8 ) Other (income) expense, net $ (4.1 ) $ 6.4 $ 68.6 Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax loss and credit carryforwards. 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 be recovered or settled. The Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company’s future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and, except for certain jurisdictions, no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. If, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the Company’s decision regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods. In determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and judgments, which affect its evaluation of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain tax liabilities. The calculation of the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities includes uncertainties in the application of, and changes in, complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across its global operations. The Company recognizes tax benefits and liabilities based on its estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The Company adjusts these benefits and liabilities based on changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of these uncertainties and the impact of tax audits, the ultimate resolutions may differ significantly from the Company’s estimates. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on all offshore earnings that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act; however, in certain cases, as described below, the Company has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on its existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. In the year ended December 31, 2017, the provision for income taxes includes provisional income tax expense of $173.5 million related to items for which the Company was able to determine a reasonable estimate. In all cases, the Company will continue to make and refine its calculations as additional analysis is completed. In addition, the Company's estimates may be affected as additional regulatory guidance is issued with respect to the Act. Any adjustments to the provisional amounts will be recognized as a component of the provision for income taxes in the period in which such adjustments are determined, but in any event, no later than the fourth quarter of 2018. Provisional Amounts Deferred tax assets and liabilities: The Company remeasured its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities at 21%. However, the Company is still analyzing certain aspects of the Act and refining its calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. In the year ended December 31, 2017, the provision for income taxes includes provisional income tax expense of $42.5 million related to the remeasurement of deferred tax balances. Transition Tax on Deferred Foreign Earnings: The one-time transition tax is based on the Company's post-1986 earnings and profits ("E&P") that were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. In the year ended December 31, 2017, the provision for income taxes includes provisional income tax expense of $131.0 million related to the one-time transition tax liability of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The Company has not completed its calculation of the total post-1986 E&P for these foreign subsidiaries. Further, the transition tax is based in part on the amount of those earnings held in cash and other specified assets. This amount may change when the Company finalizes the calculation of post-1986 E&P previously deferred from U.S. income taxes and the amounts held in cash or other specified assets. No additional income taxes have been provided for any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax. However, the Company continues to recognize a deferred tax liability related to foreign withholding tax that will be incurred for undistributed foreign earnings that are not permanently reinvested. Foreign Currency Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries that use a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. Revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using an average of the foreign exchange rates in effect during the period. Translation adjustments that arise from translating a foreign subsidiary’s financial statements from the functional currency to the U.S. dollar are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. Transaction gains and losses that arise from foreign exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, except certain long-term intercompany transactions, are included in the consolidated statements of income as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , other (income) expense, net includes net foreign currency transaction losses of $5.1 million , $7.6 million and $28.5 million , respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures stock-based employee compensation expense at fair value in accordance with GAAP and recognizes such expense over the vesting period of the stock-based employee awards. Net Income Per Share Attributable to Lear Basic net income per share available to Lear common stockholders is computed using the two-class method by dividing net income attributable to Lear, after deducting the redemption adjustment related to redeemable noncontrolling interest, by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common shares issuable upon the satisfaction of certain conditions pursuant to a contractual agreement are considered common shares outstanding and are included in the computation of basic net income per share available to Lear common stockholders. Diluted net income per share available to Lear common stockholders is computed using the two-class method by dividing net income attributable to Lear, after deducting the redemption adjustment related to redeemable noncontrolling interest, by the average number of common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents computed using the treasury stock method and the average share price during the period. A summary of information used to compute basic and diluted net income per share available to Lear common stockholders is shown below (in millions, except share and per share data): For the year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Net income attributable to Lear $ 1,313.4 $ 975.1 $ 745.5 Less: Redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustment (25.5 ) — — Net income available to Lear common stockholders $ 1,287.9 $ 975.1 $ 745.5 Average common shares outstanding 68,542,363 72,345,436 76,754,270 Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents 735,618 779,513 1,012,747 Average diluted shares outstanding 69,277,981 73,124,949 77,767,017 Basic net income per share available to Lear common stockholders $ 18.79 $ 13.48 $ 9.71 Diluted net income per share available to Lear common stockholders $ 18.59 $ 13.33 $ 9.59 For further information related to the redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustment, see Note 5 , " Investments in Affiliates and Other Related Party Transactions ." Product Warranty Product warranty reserves are recorded when liability is probable and related amounts are reasonably estimable. Segment Reporting The Company has two reportable operating segments: Seating, which includes complete seat systems and all major seat components, including seat covers and surface materials such as leather and fabric, seat structures and mechanisms, seat foam and headrests, and E-Systems, which includes complete electrical distribution systems, electronic control modules and associated software and wireless communication modules. Key components in the electrical distribution system include wire harnesses, terminals and connectors and junction boxes, including components and systems for high power battery electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle power management and distribution systems. The other category includes unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters, regional headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meets the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Each of the Company’s operating segments reports its results from operations and makes its requests for capital expenditures directly to the chief operating decision maker. The economic performance of each operating segment is driven primarily by automotive production volumes in the geographic regions in which it operates, as well as by the success of the vehicle platforms for which it supplies products. Also, each operating segment operates in the competitive Tier 1 automotive supplier environment and is continually working with its customers to manage costs and improve quality. The Company’s production processes generally make use of hourly labor, dedicated facilities, sequential manufacturing and assembly processes and commodity raw materials. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on (i) revenues from external customers, (ii) pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates, interest expense and other expense ("segment earnings") and (iii) cash flows, being defined as segment earnings less capital expenditures plus depreciation and amortization. The accounting policies of the Company’s operating segments are the same as those described in this note to the consolidated financial statements. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company has used derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other derivative contracts, to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates and the resulting variability of the Company’s operating results. The Company is not a party to leveraged derivatives. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are subject to master netting arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination. On the date that a derivative contract for a hedging instrument is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of the exposure of a forecasted transaction or of the variability in the cash flows of a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge) or (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation (a net investment hedge). For a fair value hedge, both the effective and ineffective portions of the change in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in earnings and reflected in the consolidated statement of income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheet. When the underlying hedged transaction is realized, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and reflected in the consolidated statement of income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in cumulative translation adjustment, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, for both cash flow and net investment hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative that are excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in earnings and reflected in the consolidated statement of income as other expense, net. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the related hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current and long-term assets and other current and long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether a derivative used in a hedging transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or the cash flows of the hedged item. When it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective, the Company discontinues hedge accounting. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management t |

("Lear STEC") by amending the joint venture agreement to eliminate the substantive participating rights of its joint venture partner. Prior to the amendment, Lear STEC was accounted for under the equity method. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 . The operating results and cash flows of Lear STEC are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of the amended joint venture agreement and are reflected in the Company’s E-Systems segment. A preliminary summary of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with the transaction is shown below (in millions): Property, plant and equipment $ 16.2 Other assets and liabilities assumed, net 42.4 Goodwill 94.4 Intangible assets 66.0 $ 219.0 Recognized goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce, expected synergies and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Intangible assets consist of amounts recognized for the fair value of customer-based assets and were based on an independent appraisal. Customer-based assets include Lear STEC’s established relationships with its customers and the ability of these customers to generate future economic profits for the Company. It is currently estimated that these intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately twelve years . The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with the transaction contain preliminary estimates that may be revised as a result of additional information regarding such assets and liabilities. As of the date of the transaction, the fair value of the Company’s previously held equity interest in Lear STEC was $94.0 million , and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Lear STEC was $125.0 million . As a result of valuing the Company’s previously held equity interest in Lear STEC at fair value, the Company recognized a gain of $54.2 million which is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2017. In connection with the transaction, the noncontrolling interest holder obtained the option, which is embedded in the noncontrolling interest, to require the Company to purchase or redeem the 45% noncontrolling interest based on a pre-determined earnings multiple formula. In accordance with GAAP, the Company records redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greater of (1) the initial carrying amount adjusted for the noncontrolling interest holder’s share of total comprehensive income or loss and dividends ("noncontrolling interest carrying value") or (2) the redemption value as of and based on conditions existing as of the reporting date. Required redemption adjustments are recorded as an increase to redeemable noncontrolling interests, with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified in mezzanine equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 . Redemption value of a noncontrolling interest in excess of carrying value represents a dividend distribution that is different from dividend distributions to other common stockholders. Therefore, periodic redemption adjustments recorded in excess of carrying value are reflected as a reduction to the income available to common stockholders in the computation of earnings per share. Redeemable noncontrolling interest of $153.4 million related to Lear STEC is reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 . This amount includes a noncontrolling interest redemption adjustment of $25.5 million , representing the difference between the redemption value and carrying value. Lear STEC’s annual sales are approximately $280 million . Lear STEC provides wire harnesses to SAIC Motor Corporation Limited and its joint ventures with both North American and European automotive manufacturers. The pro forma effects of this consolidation would not materially impact the Company’s reported results for any period presented. For further information related to the redemption adjustment, see Note 9 , " Capital Stock, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and Equity ." For further information related to acquired assets measured at fair value, see Note 13 , " Financial Instruments ." 2016 On June 21, 2016, the Company gained control of Beijing BAI Lear Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. ("Beijing BAI") by amending the joint venture agreement to eliminate the substantive participating rights of its joint venture partner. Prior to the amendment, Beijing BAI was accounted for under the equity method. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The operating results and cash flows of Beijing BAI are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of the amended joint venture agreement and are reflected in the Company's Seating segment. A summary of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with the transaction is shown below (in millions): Property, plant and equipment $ 20.7 Other assets and liabilities assumed, net 42.1 Goodwill 7.2 Intangible assets 34.0 $ 104.0 Recognized goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce, expected synergies and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Intangible assets consist of amounts recognized for the fair value of customer-based assets and were based on an independent appraisal. Customer-based assets include Beijing BAI’s established relationships with its customers and the ability of these customers to generate future economic profits for the Company. It is estimated that these intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately eight years. As of the date of the transaction, the fair value of the Company’s previously held equity interest in Beijing BAI was $63.0 million , and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Beijing BAI was $41.0 million . As a result of valuing the Company’s previously held equity interest in Beijing BAI at fair value, the Company recognized a gain of $30.3 million , which is included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2016. For further information related to acquired assets measured at fair value, see Note 13 , " Financial Instruments ." Also in 2016, the Company acquired an additional ownership interest in eLumigen LLC, thereby increasing its ownership interest to 46% from 30% . Subsequent Event In January 2018, the Company gained control of Changchun Lear FAWSN Automotive Electrical and Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Lear FAWSN") by acquiring an additional 20% interest from a joint venture partner and by amending the joint venture agreement to eliminate the substantive participating rights of the remaining joint venture partner. Prior to the amendment, Lear FAWSN was accounted for under the equity method. This transaction will be accounted for as a business combination, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized and measured at fair value as of the transaction date. The operating results and cash flows of Lear FAWSN will be included in the consolidated financial statements from the transaction date. The Company is preparing the preliminary estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which will be included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2018. The gain, if any, on the Company's previously held equity interest in Lear FAWSN is not expected to be material. |

In January 2015, the Company used $350 million of restricted cash proceeds from the offering, along with $500 million in borrowings under the prior term loan facility (see "— Credit Agreement" below), to finance the acquisition of Eagle Ottawa. In March 2015, the Company redeemed the 2020 Notes at a price equal to 104.063% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In connection with this transaction, the Company paid $255.0 million , including $250 million of restricted cash proceeds from the offering, and recognized a loss of $14.3 million on the extinguishment of debt in the year ended December 31, 2015. The use of restricted cash for the acquisition of Eagle Ottawa and the redemption of the 2020 Notes is reflected as non-cash investing and financing activities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The 2027 Notes were priced at 99.294% of par, resulting in a yield to maturity of 3.885% . The proceeds from the offering of $744.7 million , after original issue discount, were used to redeem the outstanding $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus a "make-whole" premium of $17.0 million , as well as to refinance a portion of the Company's $500.0 million prior term loan facility (see "— Credit Agreement" below). In connection with these transactions, the Company recognized a loss of $21.2 million on the extinguishment of debt and paid related issuance costs of $6.0 million . Prior to June 15, 2027, the Company, at its option, may redeem some or all of the 2027 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a "make-whole" premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the redemption date.

There are currently no guarantors of the Company’s obligations under the Notes. Covenants Subject to certain exceptions, the indentures governing the Notes contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to: (i) create or permit certain liens and (ii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The indenture governing the 2024 Notes limits the ability of the Company to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The indentures governing the Notes also provide for customary events of default. As of December 31, 2017 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the indentures governing the Notes. Credit Agreement In August 2017, the Company entered into a new unsecured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") consisting of a $1.75 billion revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility") and a $250.0 million term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"), both of which mature on August 8, 2022. In connection with this transaction, the Company borrowed $250.0 million under the Term Loan Facility and paid related issuance costs of $5.7 million . At the same time, the Company terminated its previously existing credit agreement, which consisted of a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility and a $500 million term loan facility, and repaid amounts outstanding under the term loan facility of $453.1 million . Together with the offering of the 2027 Notes, these transactions extended the Company's maturity profile and increased its operational flexibility and borrowing capacity. In 2017 , aggregate borrowings and repayments under the Revolving Credit Facility and prior revolving credit facility were $109.5 million . In 2016 , there were no borrowings or repayments under the prior revolving credit facility. In 2015, aggregate borrowings and repayments under the prior revolving credit facility were $48.0 million . As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and prior revolving credit facility, respectively. In 2017 , the Company made required principal payments of $1.6 million under the Term Loan Facility. In addition, the Company made principal payments of $468.7 million under the prior term loan facility, which include payments of $453.1 million made in connection with Credit Agreement described above. In 2016 , the Company made required principal payments of $21.9 million under the prior term loan facility. Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility generally bear interest based on (i) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin, determined in accordance with a pricing grid. As of December 31, 2017 , the ranges and rates are as follows (in percentages): Eurocurrency Rate Base Rate Minimum Maximum Rate as of Minimum Maximum Rate as of Revolving Credit Agreement 1.00 % 1.60 % 1.30 % 0.00 % 0.60 % 0.30 % Term Loan Facility 1.125 % 1.90 % 1.50 % 0.125 % 0.90 % 0.50 % A facility fee, which ranges from 0.125% to 0.30% of the total amount committed under the Revolving Credit Facility, is payable quarterly. Guarantees The Credit Agreement eliminated the subsidiary guarantees required under the Company's prior credit agreement. There are currently no guarantors of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. Covenants The Credit Agreement contains various customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, including, without limitation, (i) covenants regarding maximum leverage, (ii) limitations on fundamental changes involving the Company or its subsidiaries and (iii) limitations on indebtedness and liens. As of December 31, 2017 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

In 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , the foreign deferred (benefit) provision includes the benefit of prior unrecognized net operating loss carryforwards of $11.5 million , $5.4 million and $1.7 million , respectively. A summary of the differences between the provision for income taxes calculated at the United States federal statutory income tax rate of 35% and the consolidated provision for income taxes is shown below (in millions): For the year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Consolidated income before provision for income taxes and equity in net income of affiliates multiplied by the United States federal statutory income tax rate $ 534.4 $ 468.4 $ 361.0 Differences in income taxes on foreign earnings, losses and remittances (128.9 ) (43.9 ) (79.2 ) Valuation allowance adjustments (56.8 ) (44.2 ) 24.6 Tax credits (26.8 ) (2.7 ) (5.7 ) Repatriation of certain foreign earnings (289.7 ) — — Transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings 131.0 — — U.S. tax rate change and other tax reform items 42.5 — — Tax audits and assessments (1.4 ) (1.8 ) 0.7 Other (6.8 ) (5.6 ) (15.9 ) Provision for income taxes $ 197.5 $ 370.2 $ 285.5 For the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , income in foreign jurisdictions with tax holidays was $124.1 million , $89.7 million and $72.2 million , respectively. Such tax holidays generally expire from 2018 through 2027. Deferred income taxes represent temporary differences in the recognition of certain items for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A summary of the components of the net deferred income tax asset is shown below (in millions): December 31, 2017 2016 Deferred income tax assets: Tax loss carryforwards $ 452.9 $ 485.1 Tax credit carryforwards 341.0 187.9 Retirement benefit plans 58.2 89.4 Accrued liabilities 144.1 158.2 Self-insurance reserves 5.9 8.4 Current asset basis differences 37.4 44.6 Long-term asset basis differences (88.1 ) (77.3 ) Deferred compensation 41.4 57.3 Recoverable customer engineering, development and tooling 3.6 (6.9 ) Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries (41.7 ) (62.4 ) Derivative instruments and hedging activities 3.3 20.1 Other (0.4 ) 0.6 957.6 905.0 Valuation allowance (402.2 ) (445.6 ) Net deferred income tax asset $ 555.4 $ 459.4 As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the valuation allowance with respect to the Company’s deferred tax assets was $402.2 million and $445.6 million , respectively, a net decrease of $43.4 million . Concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence, such as cumulative losses in recent years, which is objective and verifiable. When measuring cumulative losses in recent years, the Company uses a rolling three-year period of pretax book income, adjusted for permanent differences between book and taxable income and certain other items. As of December 31, 2017 , the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance of $20.9 million with respect to certain U.S. deferred tax assets that, due to their nature, are not likely to be realized. In addition, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance of $381.3 million with respect to its deferred tax assets in several international jurisdictions. The classification of the net deferred income tax asset is shown below (in millions): December 31, 2017 2016 Long-term deferred income tax assets $ 646.8 $ 504.4 Long-term deferred income tax liabilities (91.4 ) (45.0 ) Net deferred income tax asset $ 555.4 $ 459.4 As of December 31, 2017 , deferred income taxes have not been provided on the undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries since all of these earnings are subject to the one-time transition tax and are not taxable upon repatriation to the United States. However, the Company continues to provide a deferred tax liability for foreign withholding tax that will be incurred with respect to the undistributed foreign earnings that are not permanently reinvested. As of December 31, 2017 , the Company had tax loss carryforwards of $1.9 billion . Of the total tax loss carryforwards, $1.5 billion have no expiration date, and $342.0 million expire between 2018 and 2037. In addition, the Company had tax credit carryforwards of $341.0 million , comprised principally of U.S. foreign tax credits, research and development credits and investment tax credits that generally expire between 2018 and 2037. On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." The new standard requires that the tax impact related to the difference between share-based compensation for book and tax purposes be recognized as income tax benefit or expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the reporting period in which such awards vest. The standard also required a modified retrospective adoption for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits. Accordingly, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset of $52.9 million and a corresponding credit to retained earnings in conjunction with the adoption. The effects of adopting the other provisions of ASU 2016-09 were not significant. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits were $33.2 million and $29.5 million (excluding interest and penalties), respectively, all of which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in other long-term liabilities. A summary of the changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits is shown below (in millions): For the year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of period $ 29.5 $ 30.4 $ 39.7 Additions based on tax positions related to current year 5.4 4.0 5.0 Reductions based on tax positions related to prior years (0.3 ) (0.9 ) (0.2 ) Settlements (0.8 ) — (12.3 ) Statute expirations (2.2 ) (2.9 ) (0.6 ) Foreign currency translation 1.6 (1.1 ) (1.2 ) Balance at end of period $ 33.2 $ 29.5 $ 30.4 The Company recognizes interest and penalties with respect to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the Company had recorded gross reserves of $9.9 million and $7.8 million , respectively, related to interest and penalties, all of which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world, and its tax returns are periodically audited or subject to review by both domestic and foreign tax authorities. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that, as a result of audit settlements, the conclusion of current examinations and the expiration of the statute of limitations in multiple jurisdictions, the Company may decrease the amount of its gross unrecognized tax benefits by $2.2 million , all of which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefits subject to potential decrease involve issues related to transfer pricing and various other tax items in multiple jurisdictions. However, as a result of ongoing examinations, tax proceedings in certain countries, additions to the gross unrecognized tax benefits for positions taken and interest and penalties, if any, arising in 2018 , it is not possible to estimate the potential net increase or decrease to the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months. The Company considers its significant tax jurisdictions to include China, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Company or its subsidiaries generally remain subject to income tax examination in certain U.S. state and local jurisdictions for years after 2012. Further, the Company or its subsidiaries remain subject to income tax examination in Spain for years after 2005, in Mexico for years after 2006, in Hungary and Poland for years after 2011, in Italy generally for years after 2012, in China and the United Kingdom for years after 2013 and in the United States generally for years after 2016. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans | Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain domestic employees and certain employees in foreign countries, principally Canada. The Company’s salaried pension plans provide benefits based on final average earnings formulas. The Company’s hourly pension plans provide benefits under flat benefit and cash balance formulas. The Company also has contractual arrangements with certain employees which provide for supplemental retirement benefits. In general, the Company’s policy is to fund its pension benefit obligation based on legal requirements, tax and liquidity considerations and local practices. The Company has postretirement benefit plans covering certain domestic and Canadian employees. The Company’s postretirement benefit plans generally provide for the continuation of medical benefits for all eligible employees who complete a specified number of years of service and retire from the Company at age 55 or older. The Company does not fund its postretirement benefit obligation. Rather, payments are made as costs are incurred by covered retirees.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the majority of the Company's pension plans had accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets. Information related to pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets is shown below (in millions): December 31, 2017 2016 Projected benefit obligation $ 768.1 $ 747.3 Accumulated benefit obligation 754.1 730.4 Fair value of plan assets 525.7 496.0 Lump-Sum Payout In 2016, the Company initiated a limited lump-sum payout offer ("Lump-Sum Payout") to certain terminated vested plan participants of its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The offer provided participants with the flexibility to receive their pension benefits early and reduces the Company's future administrative costs and risks related to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Under this offer, eligible plan participants were able to voluntarily elect an early payout of their pension benefits, primarily in the form of a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of the participant’s pension benefits. In connection with the Lump-Sum Payout, payments of $154.9 million were distributed from existing defined benefit pension plan assets, and the Company recognized a $34.2 million non-cash settlement charge. Payments under the Lump-Sum Payout are reflected as benefits paid in the reconciliations of the change in benefit obligation and the change in plan assets for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Under the corridor approach, net unrecognized actuarial losses in excess of 10% of the greater of i) the projected benefit obligation or ii) the fair value of plan assets are amortized over future periods. For plans with little to no active participants, the amortization period is the remaining average life expectancy of the participants. For plans with active participants, the amortization period is the remaining average service period of the active participants. The amortization periods range from 5 to 31 years for the Company's defined benefit pension plans and from 3 to 17 years for the Company's other postretirement benefit plans.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a pension curtailment loss of $7.7 million related to its restructuring actions (Note 4 , " Restructuring ").

Adjustments made to the historical returns are based on recent return experience in the equity and fixed income markets and the belief that deviations from historical returns are likely over the relevant investment horizon. Healthcare Trend Rate Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the postretirement benefit plans. The sensitivity to a 100 basis point ("bp") change in the assumed healthcare cost trend rates is shown below (in millions): Postretirement Benefit Obligation Net Periodic Postretirement Cost 100 bp increase in healthcare cost trend rates $ 13.9 $ 0.8 100 bp decrease in healthcare cost trend rates $ (11.3 ) $ (0.6 ) The assumed healthcare cost trend rates used to measure the postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2017 , are shown below: U.S. Plans Foreign Plans Initial healthcare cost trend rate 6.5% 5.4% Ultimate healthcare cost trend rate 4.5% 4.5% Year ultimate healthcare cost trend rate achieved 2021 2031 Plan Assets Fair value measurements and the related valuation techniques and fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s pension plan assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , are shown below (in millions): December 31, 2017 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Valuation Technique U.S. Plans: Equity securities - Mutual funds $ 149.6 $ 149.6 $ — $ — Market Common stock 80.5 54.9 25.6 — Market Fixed income - Mutual funds 101.6 101.6 — — Market Corporate bonds 24.8 — 24.8 — Market Government obligations 23.5 — 23.5 — Market Preferred stock 1.5 1.0 0.5 — Market Cash and short-term investments 6.4 1.6 4.8 — Market Assets at fair value 387.9 $ 308.7 $ 79.2 $ — Investments measured at net asset value - Alternative investments 50.3 Assets at fair value $ 438.2 Foreign Plans: Equity securities - Equity funds $ 163.3 $ — $ 163.3 $ — Market Common stock 71.6 71.6 — — Market Fixed income - Fixed income funds 30.9 — 30.9 — Market Corporate bonds 37.0 — 37.0 — Market Government obligations 58.8 — 58.8 — Market Cash and short-term investments 9.0 3.4 5.6 — Market Assets at fair value 370.6 $ 75.0 $ 295.6 $ — Investments measured at net asset value - Alternative investments 35.8 Assets at fair value $ 406.4 December 31, 2016 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Valuation Technique U.S. Plans: Equity securities - Mutual funds $ 137.7 $ 137.7 $ — $ — Market Common stock 77.5 51.1 26.4 — Market Fixed income - Mutual funds 86.5 86.5 — — Market Corporate bonds 18.1 — 18.1 — Market Government obligations 29.9 — 29.9 — Market Preferred stock 1.4 0.9 0.5 — Market Cash and short-term investments 8.4 0.9 7.5 — Market Assets at fair value 359.5 $ 277.1 $ 82.4 $ — Investments measured at net asset value - Alternative investments 53.1 Assets at fair value $ 412.6 Foreign Plans: Equity securities - Equity funds $ 132.6 $ — $ 132.6 $ — Market Common stock 73.2 73.2 — — Market Fixed income - Fixed income funds 31.2 — 31.2 — Market Corporate bonds 37.1 — 37.1 — Market Government obligations 53.8 — 53.8 — Market Cash 6.0 3.2 2.8 — Market Assets at fair value 333.9 $ 76.4 $ 257.5 $ — Investments measured at net asset value - Alternative investments 33.2 Assets at fair value $ 367.1 For further information on the GAAP fair value hierarchy, see Note 13 , " Financial Instruments ." Pension plan assets for the foreign plans relate to the Company’s pension plans primarily in Canada and the United Kingdom. In 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2015-07, "Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or its Equivalent)." ASU 2015-07 removes the requirement to categorize, within the fair value hierarchy, investments for which fair values are estimated using the net asset value ("NAV") as a practical expedient as provided by Accounting Standards Codification 820, "Fair Value Measurement." In 2016, the Company early adopted the provisions of this update with respect to its defined benefit pension plan assets and retroactively applied the new presentation requirements to all periods presented. Accordingly, the alternative investments of the U.S. defined benefit pension plans, for which fair values are estimated using the NAV as a practical expedient, are no longer categorized and presented within the fair value hierarchy. These assets are shown below the fair value hierarchy in order to present total pension plan assets at fair value. The Company’s investment policies incorporate an asset allocation strategy that emphasizes the long-term growth of capital. The Company believes that this strategy is consistent with the long-term nature of plan liabilities and ultimate cash needs of the plans. For the domestic portfolio, the Company targets an equity allocation of 50% — 75% of plan assets, a fixed income allocation of 15% — 40% , an alternative investment allocation of 0% — 30% and a cash allocation of 0% — 10% . For the foreign portfolio, the Company targets an equity allocation of 45% — 65% of plan assets, a fixed income allocation of 25% — 45% , an alternative investment allocation of 0% — 25% and a cash allocation of 0% — 15% . Differences in the target allocations of the domestic and foreign portfolios are reflective of differences in the underlying plan liabilities. Diversification within the investment portfolios is pursued by asset class and investment management style. The investment portfolios are reviewed on a quarterly basis to maintain the desired asset allocations, given the market performance of the asset classes and investment management styles. Alternative investments are redeemable in the near term, generally with 60 days notice. The Company utilizes investment management firms to manage these assets in accordance with the Company’s investment policies. Excluding alternative investments, mutual funds and ETFs, retained investment managers are provided investment guidelines which restrict the use of certain assets, including commodities contracts, futures contracts, options, venture capital, real estate, interest-only or principal-only strips and investments in the Company’s own debt or equity. Derivative instruments are also prohibited without the specific approval of the Company. Investment managers are limited in the maximum size of individual security holdings and the maximum exposure to any one industry relative to the total portfolio. Fixed income managers are provided further investment guidelines that indicate minimum credit ratings for debt securities and limitations on weighted average maturity and portfolio duration. The Company evaluates investment manager performance against market indices which the Company believes are appropriate to the investment management style for which the investment manager has been retained. The Company’s investment policies incorporate an investment goal of aggregate portfolio returns which exceed the returns of the appropriate market indices by a reasonable spread over the relevant investment horizon. Contributions The Company's minimum required contributions to its domestic and foreign pension plans are expected to be approximately $10.0 million to $15.0 million in 2018 . The Company may elect to make contributions in excess of minimum funding requirements in response to investment performance or changes in interest rates or when the Company believes that it is financially advantageous to do so and based on its other cash requirements. The Company’s minimum funding requirements after 2018 will depend on several factors, including investment performance and interest rates. The Company’s minimum funding requirements may also be affected by changes in applicable legal requirements. Benefit Payments As of December 31, 2017 , the Company’s estimate of expected benefit payments in each of the five succeeding years and in the aggregate for the five years thereafter are shown below (in millions): Pension Other Postretirement Year U.S. Foreign U.S. Foreign 2018 $ 23.9 $ 18.9 $ 4.3 $ 1.5 2019 25.4 18.7 4.3 1.5 2020 26.2 19.5 4.2 1.6 2021 26.9 19.9 4.2 1.7 2022 28.3 21.7 4.0 1.7 Five years thereafter 146.0 116.9 18.5 9.8 Multi-Employer Pension Plans The Company currently participates in two multi-employer pension plans, the U.A.W.

Labor-Management Group Pension Plan represented more than 5% of the plan's total contributions. Defined Contribution Plan The Company also sponsors defined contribution plans and participates in government-sponsored programs in certain foreign countries. Contributions are determined as a percentage of each covered employee’s salary. For the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , the aggregate cost of the defined contribution plans was $15.0 million , $14.4 million and $13.3 million , respectively. The Company also has a defined contribution retirement program for its salaried employees. Contributions to this program are determined as a percentage of each covered employee’s eligible compensation. For the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , the Company recorded expense of $21.3 million , $21.2 million and $19.4 million , respectively, related to this program. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Capital Stock, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and Equity | Capital Stock, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and Equity Common Stock The Company is authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "LEA" and has the following rights and privileges: • Voting Rights – All shares of the Company’s common stock have identical rights and privileges. With limited exceptions, holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of common stock held of record by each stockholder on all matters properly submitted for the vote of the Company’s stockholders. • Dividend Rights – Subject to applicable law, any contractual restrictions and the rights of the holders of outstanding preferred stock, if any, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends and other distributions that the Company’s Board of Directors, in its discretion, declares from time to time. • Liquidation Rights – Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, subject to the rights of the holders of outstanding preferred stock, if any, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably the assets of the Company available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by each stockholder. • Conversion, Redemption and Preemptive Rights – Holders of common stock have no conversion, redemption, sinking fund, preemptive, subscription or similar rights. Common Stock Share Repurchase Program Since the first quarter of 2011, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized $4.1 billion in share repurchases under its common stock share repurchase program. As of December 31, 2017 , the Company has paid $3.5 billion in aggregate for repurchases of its common stock, at an average price of $79.73 per share, excluding commissions and related fees. In 2017 , the Company repurchased $454.4 million in aggregate of its common stock ( 3,014,131 shares repurchased at an average purchase price of $150.77 per share, excluding commissions), of which $450.5 was paid in cash with the remaining amount to be paid in the first quarter of 2018. In 2016 , the Company paid $658.8 million in aggregate for repurchases of its common stock, ( 5,816,363 shares repurchased at an average purchase price of $113.26 per share, excluding commissions). In 2015 , the Company paid $487.4 million in aggregate for repurchases of its common stock, ( 4,366,365 shares repurchased at an average purchase price of $111.62 per share, excluding commissions). As of December 31, 2017 , the Company has a remaining repurchase authorization of $545.6 million under its current common stock share repurchase program, which will expire on December 31, 2019. The Company may implement these share repurchases through a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, open market purchases, accelerated stock repurchase programs and structured repurchase transactions. The extent to which the Company will repurchase its outstanding common stock and the timing of such repurchases will depend upon its financial condition, prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. In addition to shares repurchased under the Company’s common stock share repurchase program described above, the Company classified shares withheld from the settlement of the Company’s restricted stock unit and performance share awards to cover tax withholding requirements as common stock held in treasury in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 . In 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the retirement of 8 million shares of common stock held in treasury. These retired shares are reflected as authorized, but not issued, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 . The retirement of shares held in treasury resulted in a reduction in the par value of common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings of $0.1 million , $155.9 million and $735.5 million , respectively. These reductions were offset by a corresponding reduction in shares held in treasury of $891.5 million . Accordingly, there was no effect on stockholders' equity as a result of this transaction. Quarterly Dividend In 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , the Company’s Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.50 , $0.30 and $0.25 , respectively, per share of common stock. In 2017 , declared dividends totaled $140.3 million , and dividends paid totaled $137.7 million . In 2016 , declared dividends totaled $89.1 million , and dividends paid totaled $88.8 million . In 2015 , declared dividends totaled $79.4 million , and dividends paid totaled $78.5 million . Dividends payable on common shares to be distributed under the Company’s stock-based compensation program and common shares contemplated as part of the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings will be paid when such common shares are distributed. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in the Company’s net assets except changes resulting from transactions with stockholders.

Unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted stock unit and performance share awards of $60.6 million will be recognized over the next 1.5 years on a weighted average basis. In accordance with the provisions of the restricted stock unit and performance share awards, the Company withholds shares from the settlement of such awards to cover minimum statutory tax withholding requirements. The withheld shares are classified as common stock held in treasury in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 . A summary of restricted stock unit and performance share transactions for the year ended December 31, 2017 , is shown below: Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Performance Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding as of December 31, 2016 623,142 $92.54 1,455,054 $94.19 Granted 153,675 $142.14 389,384 $132.94 Distributed (vested) (194,373 ) (571,254 ) Cancelled (10,231 ) (73,614 ) Outstanding as of December 31, 2017 (1) 572,213 $109.31 1,199,570 $115.33 Vested or expected to vest as of December 31, 2017 572,213 1,150,611 (1) Outstanding performance shares are reflected at the maximum possible payout that may be earned during the relevant performance periods.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Legal and Other Contingencies As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the Company had recorded reserves for pending legal disputes, including commercial disputes and other matters, of $25.8 million and $11.0 million , respectively. Such reserves reflect amounts recognized in accordance with GAAP and typically exclude the cost of legal representation. Product liability and warranty reserves are recorded separately from legal reserves, as described below. Commercial Disputes The Company is involved from time to time in legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes with its customers, suppliers and competitors. These disputes vary in nature and are usually resolved by negotiations between the parties. Product Liability and Warranty Matters In the event that use of the Company’s products results in, or is alleged to result in, bodily injury and/or property damage or other losses, the Company may be subject to product liability lawsuits and other claims. Such lawsuits generally seek compensatory damages, punitive damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. In addition, if any of the Company’s products are, or are alleged to be, defective, the Company may be required or requested by its customers to participate in a recall or other corrective action involving such products. Certain of the Company’s customers have asserted claims against the Company for costs related to recalls or other corrective actions involving its products. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend such claims. To a lesser extent, the Company is a party to agreements with certain of its customers, whereby these customers may pursue claims against the Company for contribution of all or a portion of the amounts sought in connection with product liability and warranty claims. In certain instances, allegedly defective products may be supplied by Tier 2 suppliers. The Company may seek recovery from its suppliers of materials or services included within the Company’s products that are associated with product liability and warranty claims. The Company carries insurance for certain legal matters, including product liability claims, but such coverage may be limited. The Company does not maintain insurance for product warranty or recall matters. Future dispositions with respect to the Company’s product liability claims that were subject to compromise under the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings will be satisfied out of a common stock and warrant reserve established for that purpose. The Company records product warranty reserves when liability is probable and related amounts are reasonably estimable. A summary of the changes in reserves for product liability and warranty claims for each of the periods in the two years ended December 31, 2017 , is shown below (in millions): Balance as of January 1, 2016 $ 33.0 Expense, net, including changes in estimates 27.3 Settlements (10.4 ) Foreign currency translation and other (0.8 ) Balance as of December 31, 2016 49.1 Expense, net, including changes in estimates 13.3 Settlements (19.6 ) Foreign currency translation and other 3.7 Balance as of December 31, 2017 $ 46.5 Environmental Matters The Company is subject to local, state, federal and foreign laws, regulations and ordinances which govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects and which impose liability for clean-up costs resulting from past spills, disposals or other releases of hazardous wastes and environmental compliance. The Company’s policy is to comply with all applicable environmental laws and to maintain an environmental management program based on ISO 14001 to ensure compliance with this standard. However, the Company currently is, has been and in the future may become the subject of formal or informal enforcement actions or procedures. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the Company had recorded environmental reserves of $9.0 million . The Company does not believe that the environmental liabilities associated with its current and former properties will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; however, no assurances can be given in this regard. Other Matters The Company is involved from time to time in various other legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, intellectual property matters, tax claims and employment matters. Although the outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that any of the other legal proceedings or claims in which the Company is currently involved, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, no assurances can be given in this regard. Although the Company records reserves for legal disputes, product liability and warranty claims and environmental and other matters in accordance with GAAP, the ultimate outcomes of these matters are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ significantly from current estimates. Employees Approximately 46% of the Company’s employees are members of industrial trade unions and are employed under the terms of various labor agreements. Labor agreements covering approximately 77% of the Company’s global unionized workforce of approximately 76,400 employees, including labor agreements in the United States and Canada covering approximately 2% of the Company’s global unionized workforce, are scheduled to expire in 2018 . Management does not anticipate any significant difficulties with respect to the renewal of these agreements. Lease Commitments A summary of lease commitments as of December 31, 2017 , under non-cancelable operating leases with terms exceeding one year is shown below (in millions): 2018 $ 103.1 2019 90.4 2020 77.0 2021 59.7 2022 48.9 Thereafter 169.7 Total $ 548.8 The Company’s operating leases cover principally buildings and transportation equipment.

Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments Debt Instruments The carrying values of the Company’s debt instruments vary from their fair values. The fair values were determined by reference to the quoted market prices of these securities (Level 2 input based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy). The estimated fair value, as well as the carrying value, of the Company's debt instruments are shown below (in millions): December 31 2017 2016 Estimated aggregate fair value (1) $ 2,033.5 $ 2,004.8 Aggregate carrying value (1) (2) 1,973.4 1,943.7 (1) Credit agreement and senior notes (excludes "other" debt) (2) Carrying value excludes the impact of unamortized original issue discount and debt issuance costs Accounts Receivable Factoring One of the Company's European subsidiaries has an uncommitted factoring agreement, which provides for aggregate purchases of specified customer accounts of up to €200 million . As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , there were no factored receivables outstanding. The Company cannot provide any assurances that this factoring facility will be available or utilized in the future. Marketable Equity Securities As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , marketable equity securities of $43.8 million and $30.2 million , respectively, for which the Company accounts for under the fair value option, are included in the accompany consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the marketable equity securities are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as a component of other expense, net. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is determined by reference to quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1 input based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy). Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Foreign Exchange The Company uses forwards, swaps and other derivative contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments are intended to offset gains and losses on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include the Mexican peso, various European currencies, the Thai baht, the Japanese yen, the Chinese renminbi and the Philippine peso. The notional amount, estimated fair value and related classification in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of the Company's foreign currency derivative contracts are shown below (in millions, except for maturities): December 31, 2017 2016 Fair value of foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges: Other current assets $ 16.9 $ 11.2 Other long-term assets 1.3 0.5 Other current liabilities (28.4 ) (58.3 ) Other long-term liabilities (8.0 ) (9.9 ) (18.2 ) (56.5 ) Notional amount $ 1,538.5 $ 1,275.0 Outstanding maturities in months, not to exceed 24 24 Fair value of foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments: Other current assets 1.8 5.9 Other current liabilities (6.4 ) (3.8 ) (4.6 ) 2.1 Notional amount $ 681.1 $ 681.2 Outstanding maturities in months, not to exceed 12 12 Total fair value $ (22.8 ) $ (54.4 ) Total notional amount $ 2,219.6 $ 1,956.2 Foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments consist principally of hedges of cash transactions, intercompany loans and certain other balance sheet exposures. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Pretax amounts related to foreign currency derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges that were recognized in and reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss are shown below (in millions): For the year ended December 31, 2017 2016 2015 Gains (losses) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss: $ 28.8 $ (96.8 ) $ (47.3 ) (Gains) losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to: Net sales 2.1 4.8 (3.7 ) Cost of sales 7.4 81.9 42.3 9.5 86.7 38.6 Comprehensive income (loss) $ 38.3 $ (10.1 ) $ (8.7 ) As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , pretax net losses of $18.2 million and $56.5 million , respectively, related to the Company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the next twelve month period, the Company expects to reclassify into earnings net losses of $11.5 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2017 . Such losses will be reclassified at the time that the underlying hedged transactions are realized. For the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income related to changes in the fair value of cash flow and fair value hedges excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow and fair value hedges were not material. In addition, the Company recognized tax benefits (expense) of ($15.9) million , $3.9 million and $3.5 million in other comprehensive income (loss) related to its derivative instruments and hedging activities for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Fair Value Measurements GAAP provides that fair value is an exit price, defined as a market-based measurement that represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques: Market: This approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Income: This approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based on current market expectations. Cost: This approach is based on the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Further, GAAP prioritizes the inputs and assumptions used in the valuation techniques described above into a three-tier fair value hierarchy as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs, such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the exit price of the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs may be used if there is little or no market data for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company discloses fair value measurements and the related valuation techniques and fair value hierarchy level for its assets and liabilities that are measured or disclosed at fair value. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Fair value measurements and the related valuation techniques and fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , are shown below (in millions): December 31, 2017 Frequency Asset (Liability) Valuation Technique Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Foreign currency derivative contracts, net Recurring $ (22.8 ) Market / Income $ — $ (22.8 ) $ — Marketable equity securities Recurring 43.8 Market 43.8 — — December 31, 2016 Frequency Asset Valuation Technique Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Foreign currency derivative contracts, net Recurring $ (54.4 ) Market / Income $ — $ (54.4 ) $ — Marketable equity securities Recurring 30.2 Market 30.2 — — The Company determines the fair value of its derivative contracts using quoted market prices to calculate the forward values and then discounts such forward values to the present value. The discount rates used are based on quoted bank deposit or swap interest rates. If a derivative contract is in a net liability position, the Company adjusts these discount rates, if required, by an estimate of the credit spread that would be applied by market participants purchasing these contracts from the Company’s counterparties. If an estimate of the credit spread is required, the Company uses significant assumptions and factors other than quoted market rates, which would result in the classification of its derivative liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , there were no derivative contracts that were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during 2017 and 2016 . For further information on fair value measurements and the Company’s defined benefit pension plan assets, see Note 8 , " Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans ." Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these non-recurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In 2017, as a result of the acquisition of Antolin Seating and the Lear STEC transaction, Level 3 fair value estimates related to property, plant and equipment of $95.4 million , intangible assets of $187.4 million and noncontrolling interests of $125.0 million are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 . In addition, the Lear STEC transaction required a Level 3 fair value estimate related to the Company's previously held equity interest of $94.0 million . These Level 3 fair value estimates were determined as of the applicable transaction date. In 2016, as a result of the acquisition of AccuMED and the Beijing BAI transaction, Level 3 fair value estimates related to property, plant and equipment of $31.2 million , intangible assets of $87.0 million and noncontrolling interests of $41.0 million are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. In addition, the Beijing BAI transaction required a Level 3 fair value estimate related to the Company's previously held equity interest of $63.0 million . These Level 3 fair value estimates were determined as of the applicable transaction date. Fair value estimates of property, plant and equipment were based on independent appraisals, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the assets. Key assumptions used in the appraisals were based on a combination of market and cost approaches, as appropriate. Fair value estimates of customer-based intangible assets were based on the present value of future earnings attributable to the asset group after recognition of required returns to other contributory assets. Fair value estimates of noncontrolling and equity interests were based on the present value of future cash flows and a value to earnings multiple approach and reflect discounts for the lack of control and the lack of marketability associated with noncontrolling and equity interests. Further, the fair value estimate of redeemable noncontrolling interest includes an estimate of the fair value associated with the noncontrolling interest holder's embedded redemption option. The fair value of this redemption option was determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model and includes various assumptions, including the expected volatility, risk free rate and dividend yield. For further information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, see Note 2 , " Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ," Note 3 , " Acquisitions ," Note 4 , " Restructuring ," and Note 5 , " Investments in Affiliates and Other Related Party Transactions ." |

Accounting Pronouncements | Accounting Pronouncements The Company has considered the recent ASUs issued by the FASB summarized below, which could significantly impact its financial statements: Standards Pending Adoption Description Effective Date Anticipated Impact ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The standard replaces existing revenue recognition guidance and requires additional financial statement disclosures. The provisions of these updates may be applied through either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. January 1, 2018 The Company has drafted its accounting policy with respect to the standard based on a detailed review of its business and contracts. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, it does not currently expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its revenues, results of operations or financial position. As required by the standard, the Company expects to make additional disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company plans to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The Company continues to evaluate the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. ASU 2016-02, Leases The standard requires that a lessee recognize on its balance sheet right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities resulting from leasing transactions, as well as additional financial statement disclosures. Currently, GAAP only requires balance sheet recognition for leases classified as capital leases. The provisions of this update apply to substantially all leased assets, with certain permitted exceptions, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. January 1, 2019 The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update. For additional information on the Company’s operating lease commitments, see Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies." ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost The standard was issued to address the net presentation of the components of net benefit cost. The standard requires that service cost be presented in the same line item as other current employee compensation costs and that the remaining components of net benefit cost be presented in a separate line item outside of any subtotal for income from operations. January 1, 2018 The update will result in the retrospective reclassification of the non-service cost components of net benefit cost from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses to other (income) expense, net. There will be no impact on consolidated net income. In addition to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," discussed in Note 7 , " Income Taxes ," the Company adopted the ASUs summarized below in 2017. The effects of the adoption of the ASUs listed below did not significantly impact the Company's financial statements: Standards Adopted Description Effective Date ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory The standard requires the measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than at the lower of cost or market. January 1, 2017 ASU 2016-05, Effects of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships and ASU 2016-06, Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. The standards provide clarification when there is a change in a counterparty to a derivative hedging instrument and the steps required when assessing the economic characteristics of embedded put or call options. January 1, 2017 ASU 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to Equity Method of Accounting The standard eliminates the requirement to retroactively apply the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. January 1, 2017 ASU 2016-17, Interests Held through Related Parties that Are under Common Control The standard changes the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity in certain instances involving entities under common control. January 1, 2017 The Company has considered the recently issued ASUs summarized below, none of which are expected to significantly impact its financial statements: Standard Description Effective Date ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities The standard requires equity investments and other ownership interests in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value through earnings. A practicability exception exists for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. January 1, 2018 ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments The standard addresses the classification of cash flows related to various transactions, including debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, contingent consideration and proceeds from insurance claims. January 1, 2018 ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory The standard requires the recognition of the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers (other than inventory) when the sales and transfers occur. January 1, 2018 ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash The standard provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business The standard provides a new framework to use when determining if a set of assets and activities is a business. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-05, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets The standard provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses on nonfinancial assets (including land, buildings and intangible assets) to noncustomers. Adoption must coincide with ASU 2014-09. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting The standard provides guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice when accounting for a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities The standard contains changes intended to better portray the economic results of hedging activities, as well as targeted improvements to simplify hedge accounting. The Company has elected to early adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. January 1, 2019 ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments The standard changes the impairment model for most financial instruments to an "expected loss" model. The new model will generally result in earlier recognition of credit losses. January 1, 2020 ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment The standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments and allows a goodwill impairment charge to be based on the amount of a reporting unit's carrying value in excess of its fair value. This eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill or what is known as "Step 2" under the current guidance. January 1, 2020 |

Summary of Significant Accoun26
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2017 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidation | Lear consolidates all entities, including variable interest entities, in which it has a controlling financial interest. Investments in affiliates in which Lear does not have control, but does have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method (Note 5 , " Investments in Affiliates and Other Related Party Transactions "). |
Fiscal Period Reporting | The Company’s annual financial results are reported on a calendar year basis, and quarterly interim results are reported using a thirteen week reporting calendar. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. |
Accounts Receivable | The Company records accounts receivable as title is transferred to its customers. The Company’s customers are the world’s major automotive manufacturers. The Company records accounts receivable reserves for known collectibility issues, as such issues relate to specific transactions or customer balances. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , accounts receivable are reflected net of reserves of $41.8 million and $32.8 million , respectively. The Company writes off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent, based upon age or customer circumstances, that such amounts will not be collected. Generally, the Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. |
Inventories | Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. The Company records reserves for inventory in excess of production and/or forecasted requirements and for obsolete inventory in production and service inventories. |
Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Agreements | The Company incurs pre-production engineering and development ("E&D") and tooling costs related to the products produced for its customers under long-term supply agreements. The Company expenses all pre-production E&D costs for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer. In addition, the Company expenses all pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is not contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company does not have a non-cancelable right to use the tooling. During 2017 and 2016 , the Company capitalized $257.4 million and $179.3 million , respectively, of pre-production E&D costs for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer. During 2017 and 2016 , the Company also capitalized $115.4 million and $96.0 million , respectively, of pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the Company has a non-cancelable right to use the tooling. These amounts are included in other current and long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Costs associated with the repair and maintenance of the Company’s property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the Company’s property, plant and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Depreciable property is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using principally the straight-line method as follows: Buildings and improvements 10 to 40 years Machinery and equipment 5 to 10 years |
Impairment of Goodwill | Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Impairment testing is required more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In conducting its annual impairment testing, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If not, no further goodwill impairment testing is required. If it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit, the Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the related net book value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. The Company conducts its annual impairment testing as of the first day of its fourth quarter. The Company utilizes an income approach to estimate the fair value of each of its reporting units and a market valuation approach to further support this analysis. The income approach is based on projected debt-free cash flow which is discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. The Company believes that this approach is appropriate because it provides a fair value estimate based upon the reporting unit’s expected long-term operating cash flow performance. This approach also mitigates the impact of cyclical trends that occur in the industry. Fair value is estimated using recent automotive industry and specific platform production volume projections, which are based on both third-party and internally developed forecasts, as well as commercial and discount rate assumptions. The discount rate used is the value-weighted average of the Company’s estimated cost of equity and of debt ("cost of capital") derived using both known and estimated customary market metrics. The Company’s weighted average cost of capital is adjusted by reporting unit to reflect a risk factor, if necessary. Other significant assumptions include terminal value growth rates, terminal value margin rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. While there are inherent uncertainties related to the assumptions used and to management’s application of these assumptions to this analysis, the Company believes that the income approach provides a reasonable estimate of the fair value of its reporting units. The market valuation approach is used to further support the Company’s analysis and is based on recent transactions involving comparable companies. |
Intangible Assets | As of December 31, 2017 , intangible assets consist primarily of certain intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Guilford Mills in 2012, Eagle Ottawa in 2015, AccuMED in 2016 and Antolin Seating in 2017 (Note 3 , " Acquisitions "). These intangible assets were recorded at their estimated fair value, based on independent appraisals, as of the transaction or acquisition date. The value assigned to technology intangibles is based on the royalty savings method, which applies a hypothetical royalty rate to projected revenues attributable to the identified technologies. Royalty rates were determined based primarily on analysis of market information. The customer-based intangible asset includes the acquired entity's established relationships with its customers and the ability of these customers to generate future economic profits for the Company. The value assigned to customer-based intangibles is based on the present value of future earnings attributable to the asset group after recognition of required returns to other contributory assets. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | The Company monitors its long-lived assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required impairment analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is estimated based upon either discounted cash flow analyses or estimated salvage values. Cash flows are estimated using internal budgets based on recent sales data, independent automotive production volume estimates and customer commitments, as well as assumptions related to discount rates. Fixed asset impairment charges are recorded in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 . |
Impairment of Investments in Affiliates | The Company monitors its investments in affiliates for indicators of other-than-temporary declines in value on an ongoing basis in accordance with GAAP. If the Company determines that an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred, it recognizes an impairment loss, which is measured as the difference between the recorded book value and the fair value of the investment. Fair value is generally determined using an income approach based on discounted cash flows or negotiated transaction values. |
Revenue Recognition and Sales Commitments | The Company enters into agreements with its customers to produce products at the beginning of a vehicle’s life cycle. Although such agreements do not provide for a specified quantity of products, once the Company enters into such agreements, the Company is generally required to fulfill its customers’ purchasing requirements for the production life of the vehicle. These agreements generally may be terminated by the Company’s customers at any time. Historically, terminations of these agreements have been minimal. Sales are generally recorded upon shipment of product to customers and transfer of title under standard commercial terms. In certain instances, the Company may be committed under existing agreements to supply products to its customers at selling prices which are not sufficient to cover the direct cost to produce such products. In such situations, the Company recognizes losses as they are incurred. The Company receives purchase orders from its customers on an annual basis. Generally, each purchase order provides the annual terms, including pricing, related to a particular vehicle model. Purchase orders do not specify quantities. The Company recognizes revenue based on the pricing terms included in its annual purchase orders. The Company is asked to provide its customers with annual price reductions as part of certain agreements. The Company accrues for such amounts as a reduction of revenue as its products are shipped to its customers. In addition, the Company has ongoing adjustments to its pricing arrangements with its customers based on the related content, the cost of its products and other commercial factors. Such pricing accruals are adjusted as they are settled with the Company’s customers. Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales in the consolidated statements of income. |
Shipping and Handling Costs | Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income. |
Cost of Sales | Cost of sales includes material, labor and overhead costs associated with the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products. Distribution costs include inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs and other costs of the Company’s distribution network. |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | Selling, general and administrative expenses include selling, engineering and development and administrative costs not directly associated with the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products. |
Restructuring Costs | Restructuring costs include employee termination benefits, fixed asset impairment charges and contract termination costs, as well as other incremental costs resulting from the restructuring actions. These incremental costs principally include equipment and personnel relocation costs. In addition to restructuring costs, the Company also incurs incremental manufacturing inefficiency costs at the operating locations impacted by the restructuring actions during the related restructuring implementation period. Restructuring costs are recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Generally, charges are recorded as restructuring actions are approved and/or implemented. |
Engineering and Development | Costs incurred in connection with product launches, to the extent not recoverable from the Company’s customers, are charged to cost of sales as incurred. All other engineering and development costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses when incurred. |
Other Expense, Net | Other (income) expense, net includes non-income related taxes, foreign exchange gains and losses, gains and losses related to certain derivative instruments and hedging activities, gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt (Note 6 , " Debt "), gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets and other miscellaneous income and expense. |
Income Taxes | Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax loss and credit carryforwards. 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 be recovered or settled. The Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company’s future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and, except for certain jurisdictions, no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. If, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the Company’s decision regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods. In determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and judgments, which affect its evaluation of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain tax liabilities. The calculation of the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits and liabilities includes uncertainties in the application of, and changes in, complex tax regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across its global operations. The Company recognizes tax benefits and liabilities based on its estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The Company adjusts these benefits and liabilities based on changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of these uncertainties and the impact of tax audits, the ultimate resolutions may differ significantly from the Company’s estimates. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on all offshore earnings that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act; however, in certain cases, as described below, the Company has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on its existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. In the year ended December 31, 2017, the provision for income taxes includes provisional income tax expense of $173.5 million related to items for which the Company was able to determine a reasonable estimate. In all cases, the Company will continue to make and refine its calculations as additional analysis is completed. In addition, the Company's estimates may be affected as additional regulatory guidance is issued with respect to the Act. Any adjustments to the provisional amounts will be recognized as a component of the provision for income taxes in the period in which such adjustments are determined, but in any event, no later than the fourth quarter of 2018. Provisional Amounts Deferred tax assets and liabilities: The Company remeasured its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities at 21%. However, the Company is still analyzing certain aspects of the Act and refining its calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. In the year ended December 31, 2017, the provision for income taxes includes provisional income tax expense of $42.5 million related to the remeasurement of deferred tax balances. Transition Tax on Deferred Foreign Earnings: The one-time transition tax is based on the Company's post-1986 earnings and profits ("E&P") that were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. In the year ended December 31, 2017, the provision for income taxes includes provisional income tax expense of $131.0 million related to the one-time transition tax liability of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The Company has not completed its calculation of the total post-1986 E&P for these foreign subsidiaries. Further, the transition tax is based in part on the amount of those earnings held in cash and other specified assets. This amount may change when the Company finalizes the calculation of post-1986 E&P previously deferred from U.S. income taxes and the amounts held in cash or other specified assets. No additional income taxes have been provided for any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax. However, the Company continues to recognize a deferred tax liability related to foreign withholding tax that will be incurred for undistributed foreign earnings that are not permanently reinvested. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries that use a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. Revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using an average of the foreign exchange rates in effect during the period. Translation adjustments that arise from translating a foreign subsidiary’s financial statements from the functional currency to the U.S. dollar are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets. Transaction gains and losses that arise from foreign exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, except certain long-term intercompany transactions, are included in the consolidated statements of income as incurred. |
Stock-Based Compensation | The Company measures stock-based employee compensation expense at fair value in accordance with GAAP and recognizes such expense over the vesting period of the stock-based employee awards. |
Net Income Per Share Attributable to Lear | Basic net income per share available to Lear common stockholders is computed using the two-class method by dividing net income attributable to Lear, after deducting the redemption adjustment related to redeemable noncontrolling interest, by the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common shares issuable upon the satisfaction of certain conditions pursuant to a contractual agreement are considered common shares outstanding and are included in the computation of basic net income per share available to Lear common stockholders. Diluted net income per share available to Lear common stockholders is computed using the two-class method by dividing net income attributable to Lear, after deducting the redemption adjustment related to redeemable noncontrolling interest, by the average number of common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents computed using the treasury stock method and the average share price during the period. |
Product Warranty | Product warranty reserves are recorded when liability is probable and related amounts are reasonably estimable. |
Segment Reporting | The Company has two reportable operating segments: Seating, which includes complete seat systems and all major seat components, including seat covers and surface materials such as leather and fabric, seat structures and mechanisms, seat foam and headrests, and E-Systems, which includes complete electrical distribution systems, electronic control modules and associated software and wireless communication modules. Key components in the electrical distribution system include wire harnesses, terminals and connectors and junction boxes, including components and systems for high power battery electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle power management and distribution systems. The other category includes unallocated costs related to corporate headquarters, regional headquarters and the elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meets the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Each of the Company’s operating segments reports its results from operations and makes its requests for capital expenditures directly to the chief operating decision maker. The economic performance of each operating segment is driven primarily by automotive production volumes in the geographic regions in which it operates, as well as by the success of the vehicle platforms for which it supplies products. Also, each operating segment operates in the competitive Tier 1 automotive supplier environment and is continually working with its customers to manage costs and improve quality. The Company’s production processes generally make use of hourly labor, dedicated facilities, sequential manufacturing and assembly processes and commodity raw materials. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based primarily on (i) revenues from external customers, (ii) pretax income before equity in net income of affiliates, interest expense and other expense ("segment earnings") and (iii) cash flows, being defined as segment earnings less capital expenditures plus depreciation and amortization. The accounting policies of the Company’s operating segments are the same as those described in this note to the consolidated financial statements. |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | The Company has used derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, options, swaps and other derivative contracts, to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates and the resulting variability of the Company’s operating results. The Company is not a party to leveraged derivatives. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are subject to master netting arrangements that provide for the net settlement of contracts, by counterparty, in the event of default or termination. On the date that a derivative contract for a hedging instrument is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of the exposure of a forecasted transaction or of the variability in the cash flows of a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge) or (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation (a net investment hedge). For a fair value hedge, both the effective and ineffective portions of the change in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in earnings and reflected in the consolidated statement of income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheet. When the underlying hedged transaction is realized, the gain or loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss is recorded in earnings and reflected in the consolidated statement of income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. For a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in cumulative translation adjustment, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, for both cash flow and net investment hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative that are excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in earnings and reflected in the consolidated statement of income as other expense, net. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the related hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current and long-term assets and other current and long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether a derivative used in a hedging transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or the cash flows of the hedged item. When it is determined that a derivative ceases to be highly effective, the Company discontinues hedge accounting. The Company uses forwards, swaps and other derivative contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments are intended to offset gains and losses on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include the Mexican peso, various European currencies, the Thai baht, the Japanese yen, the Chinese renminbi and the Philippine peso. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative contracts using quoted market prices to calculate the forward values and then discounts such forward values to the present value. The discount rates used are based on quoted bank deposit or swap interest rates. If a derivative contract is in a net liability position, the Company adjusts these discount rates, if required, by an estimate of the credit spread that would be applied by market participants purchasing these contracts from the Company’s counterparties. If an estimate of the credit spread is required, the Company uses significant assumptions and factors other than quoted market rates, which would result in the classification of its derivative liabilities within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. During 2017 , there were no material changes in the methods or policies used to establish estimates and assumptions. Other matters subject to estimation and judgment include amounts related to accounts receivable realization, inventory obsolescence, asset impairments, useful lives of fixed and intangible assets and unsettled pricing discussions with customers and suppliers (Note 2 , " Summary of Significant Accounting Policies "); acquisitions (Note 3 , " Acquisitions "); restructuring accruals (Note 4 , " Restructuring "); deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income taxes (Note 7 , " Income Taxes "); pension and other postretirement benefit plan assumptions (Note 8 , " Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans "); accruals related to litigation, warranty and environmental remediation costs (Note 11 , " Commitments and Contingencies "); and self-insurance accruals. Actual results may differ significantly from the Company’s estimates. |
Reclassifications | Certain amounts in prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the year ended December 31, 2017 . |
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans | The Company has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain domestic employees and certain employees in foreign countries, principally Canada. The Company’s salaried pension plans provide benefits based on final average earnings formulas. The Company’s hourly pension plans provide benefits under flat benefit and cash balance formulas. The Company also has contractual arrangements with certain employees which provide for supplemental retirement benefits. In general, the Company’s policy is to fund its pension benefit obligation based on legal requirements, tax and liquidity considerations and local practices. The Company has postretirement benefit plans covering certain domestic and Canadian employees. The Company’s postretirement benefit plans generally provide for the continuation of medical benefits for all eligible employees who complete a specified number of years of service and retire from the Company at age 55 or older. The Company does not fund its postretirement benefit obligation. Rather, payments are made as costs are incurred by covered retirees. The Company uses the corridor approach when amortizing actuarial losses. Under the corridor approach, net unrecognized actuarial losses in excess of 10% of the greater of i) the projected benefit obligation or ii) the fair value of plan assets are amortized over future periods. For plans with little to no active participants, the amortization period is the remaining average life expectancy of the participants. For plans with active participants, the amortization period is the remaining average service period of the active participants. The amortization periods range from 5 to 31 years for the Company's defined benefit pension plans and from 3 to 17 years for the Company's other postretirement benefit plans. |
Comprehensive Income | Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in the Company’s net assets except changes resulting from transactions with stockholders. It differs from net income in that certain items recorded in equity are included in comprehensive income. |
Marketable Equity Securities | s of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , marketable equity securities of $43.8 million and $30.2 million , respectively, for which the Company accounts for under the fair value option, are included in the accompany consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the marketable equity securities are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as a component of other expense, net. The fair value of the marketable equity securities is determined by reference to quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1 input based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy). |
Fair Value Measurements | The carrying values of the Company’s debt instruments vary from their fair values. The fair values were determined by reference to the quoted market prices of these securities (Level 2 input based on the GAAP fair value hierarchy). GAAP provides that fair value is an exit price, defined as a market-based measurement that represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques: Market: This approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Income: This approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based on current market expectations. Cost: This approach is based on the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Further, GAAP prioritizes the inputs and assumptions used in the valuation techniques described above into a three-tier fair value hierarchy as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs, such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly for the asset or liability. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the exit price of the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs may be used if there is little or no market data for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | The Company has considered the recent ASUs issued by the FASB summarized below, which could significantly impact its financial statements: Standards Pending Adoption Description Effective Date Anticipated Impact ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The standard replaces existing revenue recognition guidance and requires additional financial statement disclosures. The provisions of these updates may be applied through either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. January 1, 2018 The Company has drafted its accounting policy with respect to the standard based on a detailed review of its business and contracts. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, it does not currently expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its revenues, results of operations or financial position. As required by the standard, the Company expects to make additional disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company plans to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The Company continues to evaluate the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. ASU 2016-02, Leases The standard requires that a lessee recognize on its balance sheet right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities resulting from leasing transactions, as well as additional financial statement disclosures. Currently, GAAP only requires balance sheet recognition for leases classified as capital leases. The provisions of this update apply to substantially all leased assets, with certain permitted exceptions, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. January 1, 2019 The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update. For additional information on the Company’s operating lease commitments, see Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies." ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost The standard was issued to address the net presentation of the components of net benefit cost. The standard requires that service cost be presented in the same line item as other current employee compensation costs and that the remaining components of net benefit cost be presented in a separate line item outside of any subtotal for income from operations. January 1, 2018 The update will result in the retrospective reclassification of the non-service cost components of net benefit cost from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses to other (income) expense, net. There will be no impact on consolidated net income. In addition to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," discussed in Note 7 , " Income Taxes ," the Company adopted the ASUs summarized below in 2017. The effects of the adoption of the ASUs listed below did not significantly impact the Company's financial statements: Standards Adopted Description Effective Date ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory The standard requires the measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than at the lower of cost or market. January 1, 2017 ASU 2016-05, Effects of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships and ASU 2016-06, Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. The standards provide clarification when there is a change in a counterparty to a derivative hedging instrument and the steps required when assessing the economic characteristics of embedded put or call options. January 1, 2017 ASU 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to Equity Method of Accounting The standard eliminates the requirement to retroactively apply the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. January 1, 2017 ASU 2016-17, Interests Held through Related Parties that Are under Common Control The standard changes the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity in certain instances involving entities under common control. January 1, 2017 The Company has considered the recently issued ASUs summarized below, none of which are expected to significantly impact its financial statements: Standard Description Effective Date ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities The standard requires equity investments and other ownership interests in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value through earnings. A practicability exception exists for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. January 1, 2018 ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments The standard addresses the classification of cash flows related to various transactions, including debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, contingent consideration and proceeds from insurance claims. January 1, 2018 ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory The standard requires the recognition of the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers (other than inventory) when the sales and transfers occur. January 1, 2018 ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash The standard provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business The standard provides a new framework to use when determining if a set of assets and activities is a business. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-05, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets The standard provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses on nonfinancial assets (including land, buildings and intangible assets) to noncustomers. Adoption must coincide with ASU 2014-09. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting The standard provides guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice when accounting for a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities The standard contains changes intended to better portray the economic results of hedging activities, as well as targeted improvements to simplify hedge accounting. The Company has elected to early adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. January 1, 2019 ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments The standard changes the impairment model for most financial instruments to an "expected loss" model. The new model will generally result in earlier recognition of credit losses. January 1, 2020 ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment The standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments and allows a goodwill impairment charge to be based on the amount of a reporting unit's carrying value in excess of its fair value. This eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill or what is known as "Step 2" under the current guidance. January 1, 2020 |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Schedule of Recent Accounting Standards Updates | The Company has considered the recent ASUs issued by the FASB summarized below, which could significantly impact its financial statements: Standards Pending Adoption Description Effective Date Anticipated Impact ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The standard replaces existing revenue recognition guidance and requires additional financial statement disclosures. The provisions of these updates may be applied through either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. January 1, 2018 The Company has drafted its accounting policy with respect to the standard based on a detailed review of its business and contracts. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, it does not currently expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its revenues, results of operations or financial position. As required by the standard, the Company expects to make additional disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company plans to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The Company continues to evaluate the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. ASU 2016-02, Leases The standard requires that a lessee recognize on its balance sheet right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities resulting from leasing transactions, as well as additional financial statement disclosures. Currently, GAAP only requires balance sheet recognition for leases classified as capital leases. The provisions of this update apply to substantially all leased assets, with certain permitted exceptions, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. January 1, 2019 The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update. For additional information on the Company’s operating lease commitments, see Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies." ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost The standard was issued to address the net presentation of the components of net benefit cost. The standard requires that service cost be presented in the same line item as other current employee compensation costs and that the remaining components of net benefit cost be presented in a separate line item outside of any subtotal for income from operations. January 1, 2018 The update will result in the retrospective reclassification of the non-service cost components of net benefit cost from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses to other (income) expense, net. There will be no impact on consolidated net income. In addition to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," discussed in Note 7 , " Income Taxes ," the Company adopted the ASUs summarized below in 2017. The effects of the adoption of the ASUs listed below did not significantly impact the Company's financial statements: Standards Adopted Description Effective Date ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory The standard requires the measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than at the lower of cost or market. January 1, 2017 ASU 2016-05, Effects of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships and ASU 2016-06, Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. The standards provide clarification when there is a change in a counterparty to a derivative hedging instrument and the steps required when assessing the economic characteristics of embedded put or call options. January 1, 2017 ASU 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to Equity Method of Accounting The standard eliminates the requirement to retroactively apply the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. January 1, 2017 ASU 2016-17, Interests Held through Related Parties that Are under Common Control The standard changes the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity in certain instances involving entities under common control. January 1, 2017 The Company has considered the recently issued ASUs summarized below, none of which are expected to significantly impact its financial statements: Standard Description Effective Date ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities The standard requires equity investments and other ownership interests in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value through earnings. A practicability exception exists for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. January 1, 2018 ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments The standard addresses the classification of cash flows related to various transactions, including debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, contingent consideration and proceeds from insurance claims. January 1, 2018 ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory The standard requires the recognition of the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers (other than inventory) when the sales and transfers occur. January 1, 2018 ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash The standard provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business The standard provides a new framework to use when determining if a set of assets and activities is a business. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-05, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets The standard provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses on nonfinancial assets (including land, buildings and intangible assets) to noncustomers. Adoption must coincide with ASU 2014-09. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting The standard provides guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice when accounting for a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities The standard contains changes intended to better portray the economic results of hedging activities, as well as targeted improvements to simplify hedge accounting. The Company has elected to early adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. January 1, 2019 ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments The standard changes the impairment model for most financial instruments to an "expected loss" model. The new model will generally result in earlier recognition of credit losses. January 1, 2020 ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment The standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments and allows a goodwill impairment charge to be based on the amount of a reporting unit's carrying value in excess of its fair value. This eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill or what is known as "Step 2" under the current guidance. January 1, 2020 |
