Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation And Organization	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of Columbia Sportswear Company (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which it maintains a controlling financial interest, the "Company") and in the opinion of management include all normal recurring material adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018 , and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 . The December 31, 2018 financial information was derived from the Company's audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . A significant part of the Company's business is of a seasonal nature; therefore, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for other quarterly periods or for the full year. In accordance with the Disclosure Modernization and Simplification final rule issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and effective for the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, a reconciliation of the changes of shareholders' equity is presented for all periods for which the results of operations are presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company, however, believes that the disclosures contained in this report comply with the requirements of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Columbia Sportswear Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which it maintains a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Some of these more significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, including sales returns and claims from customers, allowance for doubtful accounts, provisions for potential excess, slow-moving and closeout inventories, product warranty, long-lived and intangible assets, goodwill, income taxes, and stock-based compensation.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Except as disclosed below and in Note 8, pertaining to our adoption of new accounting pronouncements, there have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The adoption of this provision did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASC 842") , which increased transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases previously classified as operating leases. The updated guidance, and subsequent clarifications requires disclosures to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted this standard utilizing the modified retrospective approach. The comparative prior period information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company has elected to adopt the package of transition practical expedients and, therefore, has not reassessed (1) whether existing or expired contracts contain a lease, (2) lease classification for existing or expired leases or (3) the accounting for initial direct costs that were previously capitalized. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight for leases existing at adoption date. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $352.7 million, with corresponding lease liabilities of $387.1 million. As a result of adopting the standard, $34.4 million of pre-existing liabilities for deferred rent and various lease incentives were reclassified as a component of the ROU assets. At adoption, the measurement of the lease liabilities utilized the remaining minimum rental payments as defined under the previous accounting standard and the incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Also, the adoption of ASC 842 had no material impact on operating, investing or financing cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 8 for additional disclosure regarding the adoption of the new standard. The following table presents the effect of the adoption of ASC 842 on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2019: January 1, 2019 (in thousands) December 31, 2018 Adjustments due to ASC 842 January 1, 2019 Operating lease right-of-use assets $ — $ 352,679 $ 352,679 Total assets 2,368,721 352,679 2,721,400 Accrued liabilities 275,684 (3,346 ) 272,338 Operating lease liabilities — 57,207 57,207 Current liabilities 572,882 53,861 626,743 Non-current operating lease liabilities — 329,865 329,865 Other long-term liabilities 45,214 (31,047 ) 14,167 Total liabilities 678,408 352,679 1,031,087 Total liabilities and equity 2,368,721 352,679 2,721,400 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which clarifies certain aspects of accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement ("CCA") that is a service contract. Under the ASU, an entity would expense costs incurred in the preliminary-project and post-implementation-operation stages. The entity would also capitalize certain costs incurred during the application-development stage, as well as certain costs related to enhancements. The ASU does not change the accounting for the service component of a CCA. This standard is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this accounting standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under this guidance, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This standard is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted. The impact of the new standard will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of future individual goodwill impairments, if any. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The pronouncement changes the impairment model for most financial assets and will require the use of an " expected loss " model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. Subsequently, the FASB issued an amendment to clarify the implementation dates and items that fall within the scope of this pronouncement. This standard is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company assessed the significance of the misclassifications and concluded that they were not material to any prior periods. As a result, the LAAP segment wholesale and DTC net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018 in the table above have been revised from amounts previously reported to correct the misclassifications. These corrections had no effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Performance Obligations For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , Net sales recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods was not material. Net sales expected to be recognized in any future period related to remaining performance obligations are not material. Contract Balances As of March 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018 , contract liabilities recorded as Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which consisted of obligations associated with our gift card and customer loyalty programs, were not material.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Non-controlling Interest	NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST Prior to January 2, 2019, the Company owned a 60% controlling interest in a joint venture formed with Swire Resources Limited ("Swire") to support the development and operation of the Company's business in China. The accounts of the joint venture were included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Swire's share of net income from the joint venture was included in Net income attributable to non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the non-controlling equity interest in this entity was included in total equity as Non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In September 2018, the Company and Swire entered into an Equity Interest Transfer Agreement ("EITA"), under which the Company committed to buy out the 40% non-controlling interest in the joint venture. On January 2, 2019, the Company closed the buyout. As a result of the buyout, the 2019 condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company do not separately reflect amounts related to the non-controlling interest. See Note 17 for additional information regarding the various terms and conditions and resulting related-party transactions.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share ("EPS") is presented on both a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. A reconciliation of common shares used in the denominator for computing basic and diluted EPS is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands, except per share amounts) 2019 2018 Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, used in computing basic earnings per share 68,290 70,080 Effect of dilutive stock options and restricted stock units 762 763 Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, used in computing diluted earnings per share 69,052 70,843 Earnings per share of common stock attributable to Columbia Sportswear Company: Basic $ 1.09 $ 0.64 Diluted $ 1.07 $ 0.64 Stock options, service-based restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock representing 325,226 and 227,155 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, were outstanding but were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method, or because the shares were subject to performance conditions that had not been met.

Segment Reporting, Measurement Disclosures [Abstract]
Segment Information	SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has aggregated its operating segments into four reportable geographic segments: (1) the United States, (2) LAAP, (3) EMEA, and (4) Canada, which are reflective of the Company's internal organization, management and oversight structure. Each geographic segment operates predominantly in one industry: the design, development, marketing and distribution of outdoor and active lifestyle apparel, footwear, accessories, and equipment. Intersegment net sales and intersegment profits, which are recorded at a negotiated mark-up and eliminated in consolidation, are not material. Unallocated corporate expenses consist of expenses incurred by centrally-managed departments, including global information systems, finance, human resources and legal, executive compensation, unallocated benefit program expense, and other miscellaneous costs. The geographic distribution of the Company's Net sales and Income from operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are summarized in the following table for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 . Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2019 2018 Net sales to unrelated entities: United States $ 412,224 $ 362,844 LAAP 132,859 131,569 EMEA 71,348 71,775 Canada 38,177 41,120 $ 654,608 $ 607,308 Segment income from operations: United States $ 95,723 $ 75,830 LAAP 26,750 24,118 EMEA 9,186 6,648 Canada 6,011 6,242 Total segment income from operations 137,670 112,838 Unallocated corporate expenses (49,712 ) (53,517 ) Interest income, net 3,400 2,296 Other non-operating income (expense) 446 (268 ) Income before income taxes $ 91,804 $ 61,349 During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company revised its methodology for allocating certain expenses to its reportable segments to better reflect how management reviews financial information and makes operating decisions. As a result, prior year balances for segment income from operations for each reportable segment, and unallocated corporate expenses in the table above have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company determined that it had incorrectly allocated certain amounts of operating income to its United States segment, resulting in the overstatement of both total segment income from operations and unallocated corporate expenses by $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company assessed the significance of the misclassifications and concluded that they were not material to any prior periods. As a result, the United States and total segment income from operations as well as unallocated corporate expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 in the table above have been revised from amounts previously reported to correct the misclassifications. These corrections had no effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Concentrations No single customer accounted for 10% or more of Accounts receivable, net of allowance as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 . The Company had one customer that accounted for 11.6% of Accounts receivable, net of allowance as of December 31, 2018 . No single customer accounted for 10% or more of Net sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018 , or for the year ended December 31, 2018 .

Financial Instruments And Risk

Derivative Instruments and Hedges, Assets [Abstract]
Financial Instruments And Risk Management	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT In the normal course of business, the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows are routinely subject to a variety of risks. These risks include risks associated with financial markets, primarily currency exchange rate risk and, to a lesser extent, interest rate risk and equity market risk. The Company regularly assesses these risks and has established policies and business practices designed to mitigate them. The Company does not engage in speculative trading in any financial market. The Company actively manages the risk of changes in functional currency equivalent cash flows resulting from anticipated non-functional currency denominated purchases and sales. Subsidiaries that use European euros, Canadian dollars, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, or Korean won as their functional currency are primarily exposed to changes in functional currency equivalent cash flows from anticipated U.S. dollar inventory purchases. Subsidiaries that use U.S. dollars and euros as their functional currency also have non-functional currency denominated sales for which the Company hedges the Canadian dollar and Great British pound. The Company manages these risks by using currency forward contracts formally designated and effective as cash flow hedges. Hedge effectiveness is generally determined by evaluating the ability of a hedging instrument's cumulative change in fair value to offset the cumulative change in the present value of expected cash flows on the underlying exposures. For forward contracts, forward points are excluded from the determination of hedge effectiveness and are included in current period Cost of sales for hedges of anticipated U.S. dollar inventory purchases and in Net sales for hedges of anticipated non-functional currency denominated sales on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. In each accounting period, any difference between the change in fair value of the forward points and the amount recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis is recognized in Other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Hedge ineffectiveness was not material during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 . The Company also uses currency forward contracts not formally designated as hedges to manage the consolidated currency exchange rate risk associated with the remeasurement of non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities by subsidiaries that use U.S. dollars, euros, Canadian dollars, yen, won, or renminbi as their functional currency. Non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, payables, deferred income taxes, and intercompany loans. The gains and losses generated on these currency forward contracts not formally designated as hedges are expected to be largely offset in Other non-operating expense, net by the gains and losses generated from the remeasurement of the non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The following table presents the gross notional amount of outstanding derivative instruments: (in thousands) March 31, December 31, March 31, Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: Currency forward contracts $ 399,068 $ 399,348 $ 584,107 Derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges: Currency forward contracts 208,941 379,701 234,579 At March 31, 2019 , $10.6 million of deferred net gains on both outstanding and matured derivatives recorded in Other comprehensive loss are expected to be reclassified to Net income during the next twelve months as a result of underlying hedged transactions also being recorded in Net sales or Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to Net sales or Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income are dependent on U.S. dollar exchange rates in effect against the euro, renminbi, Canadian dollar, and yen when outstanding derivative contracts mature. At March 31, 2019 , the Company's derivative contracts had a remaining maturity of less than four years. The maximum net exposure to any single counterparty, which is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain of all contracts with that counterparty, was less than $7.0 million at March 31, 2019 . All of the Company's derivative counterparties have credit ratings that are at least investment grade or higher. The Company is a party to master netting arrangements that contain features that allow counterparties to net settle amounts arising from multiple separate derivative transactions or net settle amounts arising from multiple separate derivative transactions or net settle in the case of certain triggering events such as a bankruptcy or major default of one of the counterparties to the transaction. The Company has not pledged assets or posted collateral as a requirement for entering into or maintaining derivative positions. The following table presents the balance sheet classification and fair value of derivative instruments: (in thousands) Balance Sheet Classification March 31, December 31, March 31, Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: Derivative instruments in asset positions: Currency forward contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 14,366 $ 11,818 $ 998 Currency forward contracts Other non-current assets 10,014 9,922 2,492 Derivative instruments in liability positions: Currency forward contracts Accrued liabilities 149 47 11,017 Currency forward contracts Other long-term liabilities — 1 7,294 Derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges: Derivative instruments in asset positions: Currency forward contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets 971 1,797 1,121 Derivative instruments in liability positions: Currency forward contracts Accrued liabilities 349 970 355 The following table presents the statement of operations effect and classification of derivative instruments: Statement of Operations Classification Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2019 2018 Currency Forward and Option Contracts: Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges: Gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax — $ 3,268 $ (5,232 ) Gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to income for the effective portion Net sales 35 5 Gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss to income for the effective portion Cost of sales 1,196 (2,206 ) Gain (loss) recognized in income for amount excluded from effectiveness testing and for the ineffective portion Net sales (5 ) 6 Gain recognized in income for amount excluded from effectiveness testing and for the ineffective portion Cost of sales 1,449 1,925 Derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges: Gain (loss) recognized in income Other non-operating expense 563 (602 )

Fair Value Measures	FAIR VALUE MEASURES Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 — observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active liquid markets; Level 2 — inputs, other than the quoted market prices in active markets, that are observable, either directly or indirectly; or observable market prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions; and Level 3 — unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, that require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS As described in Note 4, prior to January 2, 2019, the Company owned a 60% controlling interest in a joint venture formed with Swire, which is a related party. The joint venture arrangement involved Transition Services Agreements ("TSAs") with Swire, under which Swire provided administrative and information technology services to the joint venture. The fees incurred for these services by the joint venture were immaterial during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The Company did not incur service fees for the three months ended March 31, 2019. In addition, the joint venture paid Swire sourcing fees related to the purchase of certain inventory. These sourcing fees were capitalized into Inventories and charged to Cost of sales as the inventories were sold. Net payables to Swire for services fees, interest expense, and miscellaneous expenses were included in Accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These net payables were immaterial as of March 31, 2019 , December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2018 . In addition to the transactions described above, Swire is also a third-party distributor of the Company's brands in certain regions outside of mainland China and purchases products from the Company under the Company's third-party distributor terms and pricing. The China joint venture declared a cash dividend of RMB 341.3 million (approximately US$ 53.3 million ) in June 2018 to stockholders of record as of June 14, 2018 and paid the dividend in the third quarter of 2018. The dividend paid to Swire was RMB 136.5 million (approximately US $21.3 million at the date of declaration, which equated to approximately US $20.0 million on the date of payment). The dividend paid to the Company of $ 32.0 million was eliminated in consolidation. In addition, in September 2018, the Company and Swire entered into an EITA, under which the Company committed to buy out the 40% non-controlling interest in the joint venture. The buyout was subject to various terms and conditions. As part of the buyout arrangement, in September 2018 the Company placed $14.0 million in an escrow account as a portion of the funds needed to complete the buyout in early 2019. The escrow amount was shown as Restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2018. On January 2, 2019, the buyout transaction closed. Pursuant to the terms of the buyout arrangement, the escrow balance of $14.0 million was paid to Swire. As of March 31, 2019, a remaining obligation of $3.9 million , based on the final outcome of certain accounting estimates associated with the China joint venture as of December 31, 2018, was included in Accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As a result of the buyout, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company will not separately reflect amounts related to the non-controlling interest. On April 24, 2019, the Company remitted the final payment of $3.9 million to Swire.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases of Lessee Disclosure [Text Block]	The Company leases, among other things, retail space, office space, warehouse facilities, storage space, vehicles, and equipment. Generally, the base lease terms are between 5 and 10 years. Certain lease agreements contain scheduled rent escalation clauses and others include rental payments adjusted periodically depending on an index or rate. Certain retail space lease agreements provide for additional rents based on a percentage of annual sales in excess of stipulated minimums ("percentage rent"). Certain lease agreements require the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other costs, collectively referred to as operating costs, in addition to base rent. Certain lease agreements also contain lease incentives, such as tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 10 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company's sole discretion. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The Company recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments include how the Company determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) the lease term and (3) lease payments. ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor's estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor's deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. Because the Company does not generally borrow on a collateralized basis, it uses quoted interest rates obtained from financial institutions as an input to derive an appropriate incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for the amount of the lease payments, the lease term and the effect on that rate of designating specific collateral with a value equal to the unpaid lease payments for that lease. The Company's lease contracts may include options to extend the lease following the initial term or terminate the lease prior to the end of the initial term. In most instances, at the commencement of the leases, the Company has determined that it is not reasonably certain to exercise either of these options; accordingly, these options are generally not considered in determining the initial lease term. At the renewal of an expiring lease, the Company reassesses options in the contract that it is reasonably certain to exercise in its measurement of lease term. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of ASC 842, the Company has elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Therefore, for those leases, the lease payments used to measure the lease liability include all of the fixed consideration in the contract. Variable lease payments associated with the Company's leases are recognized upon occurrence of the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed. Variable lease payments are presented as operating expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
