Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Overview	Overview Basis of Presentation Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Cooper Standard”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (“CSA U.S.”), is a leading manufacturer of sealing, fuel and brake delivery, and fluid transfer systems. The Company’s products are primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks that are manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through its subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2019 and in prior periods, the Company also operated an anti-vibration systems product line. On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the divestiture of its anti-vibration systems product line. See Note 4. “Divestiture.” The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and 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 (the “ 2018 Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. Correction of Errors During the third quarter of 2019, the Company identified errors related to the timing of recording pricing matters with customers in the Asia Pacific region. These errors primarily related to periods prior to fiscal year 2019 and resulted in an out-of-period adjustment that decreased sales by $8,498 , net income by $6,220 and diluted EPS by $0.36 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and increased accrued liabilities and other liabilities as of September 30, 2019 by $6,220 , net of tax impact. In addition, an immaterial amount related to these matters was recorded during the third quarter of 2019 that related to the first and second quarters of 2019. Management evaluated the effect of the adjustments on the Company’s financial statements under the provision of ASC 250: Accounting Changes and Error Corrections , Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99: Materiality and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108: Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases , and all related amendments using the modified retrospective method whereby the cumulative effect of adopting the standard was recognized in equity at the date of initial application. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases (except for short-term leases). The Company made a policy election for all asset classes to exclude the balance sheet recognition of leases with a lease term, at lease commencement, of 12 months or less and no purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised. The standard also requires additional disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease transactions. The new standard resulted in a material increase in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet beginning in 2019 and had no impact on its condensed consolidated income statement or to cash provided by (used in) operating, financing or investing activities on its condensed consolidated cash flow statements. The difference between the lease assets and lease liabilities was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	Divestiture In the third quarter of 2018, management approved a plan to sell the anti-vibration systems (“AVS”) product line within its North America, Europe and Asia Pacific segments. The business and its associated assets and liabilities met the criteria for presentation as held for sale as of September 1, 2018, and depreciation of long-lived assets ceased. The divestiture did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation. On November 2, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with an unaffiliated company to divest the AVS product line. On April 1, 2019, the Company completed its sale of the AVS product line to Continental AG. The total sale price of the transaction was $265,500 , subject to certain adjustments. Cash proceeds received in the second quarter were $243,362 after adjusting for certain liabilities assumed by the purchaser. The net cash proceeds after taxes, post-closing adjustments and transaction-related expenses and fees are expected to be approximately $215,000 to $220,000 . The Company recognized a gain on the divestiture of $188,180 , subject to post-closing adjustments. Adjustments to the gain recorded in the third quarter of 2019 relate primarily to working capital adjustments. In addition, at closing, the Company and Continental AG entered into certain ancillary agreements providing for the transition of the AVS product line. The major classes of assets and liabilities held for sale were as follows: December 31, 2018 Accounts receivable, net $ 35,498 Tooling receivable 3,797 Inventories 13,774 Prepaid expenses 1,759 Other current assets 1,197 Property, plant and equipment, net 31,148 Goodwill 13,500 Other assets 3,225 Total assets held for sale $ 103,898 Accounts payable $ 38,065 Payroll liabilities 6,826 Accrued liabilities 1,000 Pension benefits 15,894 Postretirement benefits other than pensions 9,281 Other liabilities 129 Total liabilities related to assets held for sale $ 71,195

The Company accrues for pricing concessions by reducing revenue as products are shipped or delivered. The accruals are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and management’s best judgment. The Company also generally has ongoing adjustments to customer pricing arrangements based on the content and cost of its products. Such pricing accruals are adjusted as they are settled with customers. Customer returns are usually related to quality or shipment issues and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company generally does not recognize significant return obligations due to their infrequent nature. Contract Balances The Company’s contract assets consist of unbilled amounts associated with variable pricing arrangements in its Asia Pacific region. Once pricing is finalized, contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable. As a result, the timing of revenue recognition and billings, as well as changes in foreign exchange rates, will impact contract assets on an ongoing basis. Contract assets were not materially impacted by any other factors during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 . The Company’s contract liabilities consist of advance payments received and due from customers. Net contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following: September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Change Contract assets $ 409 $ 14,757 $ (14,348 ) Contract liabilities (238 ) (143 ) (95 ) Net contract assets $ 171 $ 14,614 $ (14,443 ) Other

Leases [Abstract]
Leases of Lessee Disclosure [Text Block]	Leases On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases , and all related amendments using the modified retrospective method. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 . Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net, debt payable within one year, and long-term debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease right-of-use assets are recognized at commencement date based upon the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s lease terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based upon information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company applies the portfolio approach for the incremental borrowing rate on its leases based upon similar lease terms and payments. The lease right-of-use asset also includes lease payments made in advance of lease commencement and excludes lease incentives. Operating lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. For real estate leases, these components are accounted for separately, while for equipment leases commencing on or after January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Variable lease expense includes payments based upon changes in a rate or index, such as consumer price indexes, as well as usage of the leased asset. Short-term lease expense includes leases with terms, at lease commencement, of 12 months or less and no purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company primarily has operating and finance leases for certain manufacturing facilities, corporate offices and certain equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 15 years, some of which may include one or more options to extend the leases for up to five years for each renewal. The components of lease expense were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Operating lease expense: $ 8,362 $ 25,027 Short-term lease expense 796 2,607 Variable lease expense 517 1,051 Finance lease expense: Amortization of right-of-use assets 614 1,629 Interest on lease liabilities 400 1,307 Total lease expense $ 10,689 $ 31,621 Other information related to leases was as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Supplemental Cash Flows Information Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows for operating leases $ 25,671 Operating cash flows for finance leases 1,186 Financing cash flows for finance leases 735 Non-cash right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations: Operating leases 4,955 Finance leases 9,476 Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (in years) Operating leases 5.5 Finance leases 11.7 Weighted Average Discount Rate Operating leases 4.7 % Finance leases 9.7 % Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of September 30, 2019 were as follows: Year Operating Leases Finance Leases Remainder of 2019 $ 7,683 $ 696 2020 25,098 2,870 2021 17,388 2,679 2022 13,406 2,518 2023 11,282 2,294 Thereafter 25,913 21,056 Total future minimum lease payments 100,770 32,113 Less imputed interest (12,664 ) (13,196 ) Total $ 88,106 $ 18,917 Amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 Operating lease right-of-use assets, net $ 87,849 $ — Debt payable within one year — 2,050 Current operating lease liabilities 24,004 — Long-term debt — 16,867 Long-term operating lease liabilities 64,102 — As of September 30, 2019 , assets recorded under finance leases, net of accumulated depreciation were $20,089 .

The Senior Notes mature on November 15, 2026 . Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on May 15 and November 15 of each year. Debt issuance costs related to the Senior Notes are amortized into interest expense over the term of the Senior Notes. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company had $5,065 and $5,601 of unamortized debt issuance costs, respectively, related to the Senior Notes, which are presented as direct deductions from the principal balance in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Term Loan Facility Also in November 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to its senior term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”), which provides for loans in an aggregate principal amount of $340,000 . Subject to certain conditions, the Term Loan Facility, without the consent of the then-existing lenders (but subject to the receipt of commitments), may be expanded (or a new term loan or revolving facility added) by an amount that will not cause the consolidated secured net debt ratio to exceed 2.25 to 1.00 plus $400,000 plus any voluntary prepayments , including the ABL Facility (as defined below) to the extent commitments are reduced, not funded from proceeds of long-term indebtedness.

Subsequently, on March 6, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Term Loan Facility to further modify the interest rate. In accordance with this amendment, borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) with respect to Eurodollar rate loans, the greater of the applicable Eurodollar rate and 0.75% plus 2.0% per annum, or (2) with respect to base rate loans, the base rate, (which is the highest of the then current federal funds rate plus 0.5%, the prime rate most recently announced by the administrative agent under the term loan, and the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%) plus 1.0% per annum . As a result of Amendment No. 3, the Company recognized a loss on refinancing and extinguishment of debt of $770 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 , which was due to the partial write off of new and unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments	Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements 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. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. The Company also considers the risk of non-performance in the estimation of fair value and includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair value of derivative instruments. In certain instances where market data is not available, the Company uses management judgment to develop assumptions that are used to determine fair value. Fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows: September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Input Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets $ 157 $ 277 Level 2 Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities (95 ) (925 ) Level 2 Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For further information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis see Note 3. “Acquisitions” and Note 9. “Property, Plant and Equipment.” Items Not Carried at Fair Value Fair values of the Company’s Senior Notes and Term Loan Facility were as follows: September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Aggregate fair value $ 680,684 $ 684,687 Aggregate carrying value (1) 730,650 733,200 (1) Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount. Fair values were based on quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into derivative instruments primarily to hedge portions of its forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows and designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in order to qualify for hedge accounting. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the cash flow hedges. The Company also formally assesses whether a cash flow hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and reclassified into earnings when the underlying hedged transaction is realized. The realized gains and losses are recorded on the same line as the hedged transaction in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties on its derivative financial instruments. The Company mitigates this credit risk exposure by entering into agreements directly with major financial institutions with high credit standards that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Cash Flow Hedges Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts - The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flow arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include various European currencies, the Canadian Dollar, and the Mexican Peso. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the notional amount of these contracts was $39,890 and $154,237 , respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to June 2020 . Interest rate swaps - The Company has historically used interest rate swap contracts to manage cash flow variability associated with its variable rate Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swap contract, which fixes the interest payments of variable rate debt instruments, is used to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. As of September 30, 2019 , there were no interest rate swap contracts outstanding. Pretax amounts related to the Company’s cash flow hedges that were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) were as follows: Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Forward foreign exchange contracts $ (1,367 ) $ 2,253 $ 2,443 $ 3,413 Interest rate swaps — — — 443 Total $ (1,367 ) $ 2,253 $ 2,443 $ 3,856 Pretax amounts related to the Company’s cash flow hedges that were reclassified from AOCI were as follows: Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Income Three Months Ended September 30, Classification 2019 2018 Forward foreign exchange contracts Cost of products sold $ 614 $ 370 Interest rate swaps Interest expense, net of interest income — 31 Total $ 614 $ 401 Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Income Nine Months Ended September 30, Classification 2019 2018 Forward foreign exchange contracts Cost of products sold $ 1,766 $ 1,000 Interest rate swaps Interest expense, net of interest income — (162 ) Total $ 1,766 $ 838

Receivables [Abstract]
Accounts Receivable Factoring	Accounts Receivable Factoring As a part of its working capital management, the Company sells certain receivables through a single third-party financial institution in a pan-European program (the “Factor”). The amount sold varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow needs of the Company. These are permitted transactions under the Company’s credit agreements governing the ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes. Costs incurred on the sale of receivables are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The sale of receivables under this contract is considered an off-balance sheet arrangement to the Company and is accounted for as a true sale and is excluded from accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts outstanding under receivable transfer agreements entered into by various locations as of the period end were as follows: September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Off-balance sheet arrangements $ 86,270 $ 100,409 Accounts receivable factored and related costs throughout the period were as follows: Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Accounts receivable factored $ 108,957 $ 149,136 $ 376,944 $ 518,808 Costs 218 348 691 1,065 The Company continues to service sold receivables and acts as collection agent for the Factor.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company determines its effective tax rate each quarter based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company records the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. Income tax expense (benefit), income (loss) before income taxes and the corresponding effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Income tax expense (benefit) $ (574 ) $ (1,190 ) $ 45,996 $ 19,831 Income (loss) before income taxes (16,172 ) 31,474 171,532 153,113 Effective tax rate 4 % (4 )% 27 % 13 % The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was higher primarily due to the geographic mix of increased pre-tax earnings as a result of the sale of the AVS product line recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Additionally, benefits recorded from adjustments to provisional amounts recorded as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act resulted in a lower effective tax rate in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 varies from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions to the extent not offset by other categories of income, tax credits, the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, and other permanent items. Further, 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 valuation allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is periodically involved in claims, litigation and various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for claims, litigation and various legal matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters. In addition, the Company conducts and monitors environmental investigations and remedial actions at certain locations. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation and remediation was approximately $4,703 and $4,668

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of Presentation Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Cooper Standard”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (“CSA U.S.”), is a leading manufacturer of sealing, fuel and brake delivery, and fluid transfer systems. The Company’s products are primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks that are manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through its subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2019 and in prior periods, the Company also operated an anti-vibration systems product line. On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the divestiture of its anti-vibration systems product line. See Note 4. “Divestiture.” The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and 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 (the “ 2018 Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases , and all related amendments using the modified retrospective method whereby the cumulative effect of adopting the standard was recognized in equity at the date of initial application. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases (except for short-term leases). The Company made a policy election for all asset classes to exclude the balance sheet recognition of leases with a lease term, at lease commencement, of 12 months or less and no purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised. The standard also requires additional disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease transactions. The new standard resulted in a material increase in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet beginning in 2019 and had no impact on its condensed consolidated income statement or to cash provided by (used in) operating, financing or investing activities on its condensed consolidated cash flow statements. The difference between the lease assets and lease liabilities was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative effects of the changes made to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 were as follows: Balance as of December 31, 2018 Adjustments due to adoption of ASC 842 Balance as of January 1, 2019 Prepaid expenses $ 36,878 $ (2,704 ) $ 34,174 Assets held for sale 103,898 9,559 113,457 Operating lease right-of-use assets, net — 102,268 102,268 Accrued liabilities 98,907 (336 ) 98,571 Current operating lease liabilities — 27,229 27,229 Liabilities held for sale 71,195 9,561 80,756 Long-term operating lease liabilities — 75,276 75,276 Retained earnings 576,025 (2,607 ) 573,418 The Company elected the package of practical expedients on existing leases as of the effective date which permits the Company to carry forward lease classification and not reassess existing contracts in order to determine if the contracts contain a lease. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient to not reassess whether any expired or existing land easements contain leases. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company considered the recently issued accounting pronouncement summarized as follows, which is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements: Standard Description Effective Date ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Amends guidance on the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
