Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Background and Basis of Presentation | Background and Basis of Presentation We are a leading global fertilizer and chemical company. Our 3,000 employees operate world-class manufacturing complexes in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our principal customers are cooperatives, independent fertilizer distributors, traders, wholesalers, farmers and industrial users. Our principal nitrogen fertilizer products are ammonia, granular urea, urea ammonium nitrate solution (UAN) and ammonium nitrate (AN). Our other nitrogen products include diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), urea liquor, nitric acid and aqua ammonia, which are sold primarily to our industrial customers, and compound fertilizer products (NPKs), which are solid granular fertilizer products for which the nutrient content is a combination of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. We serve our customers in North America through our production, storage, transportation and distribution network. We also reach a global customer base with exports from our Donaldsonville, Louisiana, plant, the world’s largest and most flexible nitrogen complex. Additionally, we move product to international destinations from our Verdigris, Oklahoma, facility, our Yazoo City, Mississippi, facility, our Billingham and Ince facilities in the United Kingdom, and from a joint venture ammonia facility in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in which we own a 50 percent interest. All references to “CF Holdings,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to CF Industries Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context makes clear that the reference is only to CF Industries Holdings, Inc. itself and not its subsidiaries. All references to “CF Industries” refer to CF Industries, Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of CF Industries Holdings, Inc. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 , in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, that are necessary for the fair representation of the information for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Operating results for any period presented apply to that period only and are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Standards | 2 . New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted Pronouncements On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease accounting requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations resulting from virtually all leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease) on their balance sheets as right-of-use assets with corresponding lease liabilities. Extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, are required to provide greater insight into the extent of income and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from existing contracts. We elected the optional transition method provided under ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides the option to adopt ASU No. 2016-02 as of the adoption date with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The cumulative effect adjustment we recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 was not material. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASU No. 2016-02, which allows us to carry forward the historical lease determination, lease classification, and assessment of initial direct costs. See Note 13—Leases for additional information. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships in order to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The adoption of this ASU had no effect on our consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Pronouncements |

Revenue from Contract with Customer | 3 . Revenue Recognition We track our revenue by product and by geography. See Note 17—Segment Disclosures for our revenue by reportable segment, which are ammonia, granular urea, UAN, AN and Other. The following table summarizes our revenue by product and by geography (based on destination of our shipment) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018: Ammonia Granular UAN AN Other Total (in millions) Three months ended March 31, 2019 North America $ 160 $ 335 $ 242 $ 46 $ 59 $ 842 Europe and other 27 8 14 81 29 159 Total revenue $ 187 $ 343 $ 256 $ 127 $ 88 $ 1,001 Three months ended March 31, 2018 North America $ 168 $ 264 $ 246 $ 45 $ 59 $ 782 Europe and other 44 — 37 55 39 175 Total revenue $ 212 $ 264 $ 283 $ 100 $ 98 $ 957 As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had $301 million and $149 million , respectively, in customer advances on our consolidated balance sheets. The revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 that was included in our customer advances at the beginning of each respective period amounted to approximately $85 million and $65 million , respectively. We offer cash incentives to certain customers based on the volume of their purchases over a certain period. These incentives do not provide an option to the customer for additional product. The balances of customer incentives accrued at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were not material. We have certain customer contracts with performance obligations where if the customer does not take the required amount of product specified in the contract, then the customer is required to make a payment to us, which may vary based upon the terms and conditions of the applicable contract. As of March 31, 2019 , excluding contracts with original durations of less than one year, and based on the minimum product tonnage to be sold and current market price estimates, our remaining performance obligations under these contracts are approximately $1.3 billion . We expect to recognize approximately 19% of these performance obligations as revenue in the remainder of 2019, approximately 42% as revenue during 2020 and 2021, approximately 26% as revenue during 2022 and 2023, and the remainder thereafter. If these customers do not fulfill their contractual obligations under such contracts, the legally enforceable minimum amount that they would pay to us under these contracts, in the aggregate, is approximately $285 million as of March 31, 2019 . Other than the performance obligations described above, any performance obligations with our customers that were unfulfilled or partially filled at December 31, 2018 will be satisfied in 2019 . |

We include our share of the net earnings from this equity method investment as an element of earnings from operations because PLNL provides additional production to our operations and is integrated with our other supply chain and sales activities in the ammonia segment. As of March 31, 2019 , the total carrying value of our equity method investment in PLNL was $100 million , $48 million more than our share of PLNL’s book value. The excess is attributable to the purchase accounting impact of our acquisition of the investment in PLNL and reflects the revaluation of property, plant and equipment. The increased basis for property, plant and equipment is being amortized over a remaining period of approximately 14 years . Our equity in earnings of PLNL is different from our ownership interest in income reported by PLNL due to amortization of this basis difference. We have transactions in the normal course of business with PLNL reflecting our obligation to purchase 50% of the ammonia produced by PLNL at current market prices. Our ammonia purchases from PLNL totaled $22 million and $29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The Trinidadian tax authority (the Board of Inland Revenue) has issued PLNL a tax assessment with respect to tax years 2011 and 2012 in the aggregate amount of approximately $12 million , in addition to interest and penalties with respect to tax years 2011 and 2012 in the aggregate amount of approximately $22 million , for alleged underpayment of withholding taxes on distributions made by PLNL to its owners. Since we own a 50% interest in PLNL, our effective share of any assessment that is determined to be a liability of PLNL would be 50% |

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables present assets and liabilities included in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicate the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair value: March 31, 2019 Total Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) (in millions) Cash equivalents $ 598 $ 598 $ — $ — Nonqualified employee benefit trusts 19 19 — — Embedded derivative liability (22 ) — (22 ) — December 31, 2018 Total Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) (in millions) Cash equivalents $ 648 $ 648 $ — $ — Nonqualified employee benefit trusts 19 19 — — Embedded derivative liability (21 ) — (21 ) — Cash Equivalents As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , our cash equivalents consisted primarily of U.S. and Canadian government obligations and money market mutual funds that invest in U.S. government obligations and other investment-grade securities. Nonqualified Employee Benefit Trusts We maintain trusts associated with certain nonqualified supplemental pension plans. The fair values of the trust assets are based on daily quoted prices in an active market, which represents the net asset values of the shares held in the trusts, and are included on our consolidated balance sheets in other assets. Debt securities are accounted for as available-for-sale securities. Changes in the fair value of equity securities in the trust assets are recognized through earnings. Embedded Derivative Liability Under the terms of our strategic venture with CHS Inc. (CHS), if our credit rating as determined by two of three specified credit rating agencies is below certain levels, we are required to make a non-refundable yearly payment of $5 million to CHS. Since our credit ratings were below certain levels in 2016, 2017 and 2018, we made a payment of $5 million to CHS in the fourth quarter of each year. These payments will continue on a yearly basis until the earlier of the date that our credit rating is upgraded to or above certain levels by two of the three specified credit rating agencies or February 1, 2026. This obligation is recognized on our consolidated balance sheets as an embedded derivative. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the embedded derivative liability of $22 million and $21 million , respectively, is included in other current liabilities and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Included in other operating—net in our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is a net loss of $1 million . For the three months ended March 31, 2018, no loss was recognized. The inputs into the fair value measurement include the probability of future upgrades and downgrades of our credit rating based on historical credit rating movements of other public companies and the discount rates to be applied to potential annual payments based on applicable credit spreads of other public companies at different credit rating levels. Based on these inputs, our fair value measurement is classified as Level 2. See Note 14—Noncontrolling Interests for additional information regarding our strategic venture with CHS.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we recorded an income tax benefit of $8 million on pre-tax income of $110 million , or an effective tax rate of (7.3)% , compared to an income tax provision of $17 million on pre-tax income of $105 million , or an effective tax rate of 15.8% , for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , our income tax benefit includes an incentive tax credit from the State of Louisiana of $30 million , net of federal income tax, related to certain capital projects at our Donaldsonville, Louisiana complex. Our effective tax rate is also impacted by earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in CF Industries Nitrogen, LLC (CFN) and in the first quarter of 2018 by earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests in Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNCLP), as our consolidated income tax provision (benefit) does not include a tax provision on the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of (7.3)% , which is based on pre-tax income of $110 million , would be 27.4% exclusive of the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests of $28 million and the incentive tax credit of $30 million . Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of 15.8% , which is based on pre-tax income of $105 million , would be 20.8% exclusive of the earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests of $25 million .

Leases [Abstract] | |
Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block] | 13 . Leases Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to calculate the present value represents our secured incremental borrowing rate and is calculated based on the treasury yield curve commensurate with the term of each lease, and a spread representative of our secured borrowing costs. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. For operating leases, rental payments, including rent holidays, leasehold incentives, and scheduled rent increases are expensed on a straight-line basis. For finance leases, if any, ROU assets are amortized over the lease term on a straight-line basis and interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method and based on the lease liability at period end. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the depreciable lives of the corresponding fixed assets or the lease term including any applicable renewals. We have made an accounting policy election to not include leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. We have operating leases for certain property and equipment under various noncancelable agreements, the most significant of which are rail car leases and barge tow charters for the distribution of our products. The rail car leases currently have minimum terms ranging from one to eleven years and the barge tow charter commitments range from one to seven years. Our rail car leases and barge tow charters commonly contain provisions for automatic annual renewal that can extend the lease term unless canceled by either party. We also have operating leases for terminal and warehouse storage for our distribution system, some of which contain minimum throughput requirements. The storage agreements contain minimum terms generally ranging from one to three years and commonly contain provisions for automatic annual renewal thereafter unless canceled by either party. The renewal provisions for our rail car leases, barge tow charters and terminal and warehouse storage agreements are not reasonably certain to be exercised. For all rail car leases, barge tow charters, and terminal and warehouse storage agreements, we have made an accounting policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components, such as operating costs and maintenance, due to the unavailability of sufficient data. As a result, the non-lease components are included in the ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet. The components of lease costs were as follows: Three months ended (in millions) Operating lease cost $ 23 Short-term lease cost 7 Total lease cost $ 30 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Three months ended (in millions) Operating cash flows - cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities $ 20 ROU assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations 16 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows: Three months ended (in millions) Operating lease ROU assets $ 285 Current operating lease liabilities $ 85 Operating lease liabilities 203 Total operating lease liabilities $ 288 Three months ended Operating leases Weighted average remaining lease term 5 years Weighted average discount rate (1) 4.9 % _______________________________________________________________________________ (1) Upon adoption of the new lease standard, discount rates used for existing leases were established at January 1, 2019.

As previously disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the previous lease accounting standard, the future minimum lease payments for operating leases having initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2018 were as follows: Operating lease payments (in millions) 2019 $ 93 2020 80 2021 59 2022 41 2023 28 Thereafter 62 Total lease payments $ 363 |

We own the remaining membership interests. Under the terms of CFN’s limited liability company agreement, each member’s interest will reflect, over time, the impact of the profitability of CFN and any member contributions made to, and distributions received from, CFN. For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities and earnings of the strategic venture are consolidated into our financial statements. CHS’ interest in the strategic venture is recorded in noncontrolling interests in our consolidated financial statements. CHS also receives deliveries pursuant to a supply agreement under which CHS has the right to purchase annually from CFN up to approximately 1.1 million tons of granular urea and 580,000 tons of UAN at market prices. As a result of its equity interest in CFN, CHS is entitled to semi-annual cash distributions from CFN. We are also entitled to semi-annual cash distributions from CFN. The amounts of distributions from CFN to us and CHS are based generally on the profitability of CFN and determined based on the volume of granular urea and UAN sold by CFN to us and CHS pursuant to supply agreements, less a formula driven amount based primarily on the cost of natural gas used to produce the granular urea and UAN, and adjusted for the allocation of items such as operational efficiencies and overhead amounts. Additionally, under the terms of the strategic venture, we recognized an embedded derivative related to our credit rating. See Note 9—Fair Value Measurements for additional information. Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNCLP) On February 7, 2018, we announced that, in accordance with the terms of TNCLP’s First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, the TNCLP Agreement of Limited Partnership), Terra Nitrogen GP Inc. (TNGP), the sole general partner of TNCLP and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CF Holdings, elected to exercise its right to purchase all of the 4,612,562 publicly traded common units of TNCLP (the TNCLP Public Units). On April 2, 2018, TNGP completed its purchase of the TNCLP Public Units (the Purchase) for an aggregate cash purchase price of $388 million , at which time we recognized a reduction in paid-in capital of $62 million ; a deferred tax liability of $5 million ; and the removal of the TNCLP noncontrolling interests of $331 million . Upon completion of the Purchase, CF Holdings owned, through its subsidiaries, 100 percent of the general and limited partnership interests of TNCLP. Prior to April 2, 2018, TNCLP was a master limited partnership that owned a nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing facility in Verdigris, Oklahoma. We owned approximately 75.3% of TNCLP through general and limited partnership interests and outside investors owned the remaining approximately 24.7% of the limited partnership. For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities and earnings of the partnership were consolidated into our financial statements. The outside investors’ limited partnership interests in TNCLP were recorded in noncontrolling interests in our consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interest represented the noncontrolling unitholders’ interest (prior to the Purchase) in the earnings and equity of TNCLP. Affiliates of CF Industries were required to purchase all of TNCLP’s fertilizer products at market prices as defined in the Amendment to the General and Administrative Services and Product Offtake Agreement, dated September 28, 2010. |

Contingencies | Contingencies Litigation West Fertilizer Co. On April 17, 2013, there was a fire and explosion at the West Fertilizer Co. fertilizer storage and distribution facility in West, Texas. According to published reports, 15 people were killed and approximately 200 people were injured in the incident, and the fire and explosion damaged or destroyed a number of homes and buildings around the facility. Various subsidiaries of CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (the CF Entities) were named as defendants along with other companies in lawsuits filed in 2013, 2014 and 2015 in the District Court of McLennan County, Texas by the City of West, individual residents of the County and other parties seeking recovery for damages allegedly sustained as a result of the explosion. The cases were consolidated for discovery and pretrial proceedings in the District Court of McLennan County under the caption “In re: West Explosion Cases.” The two-year statute of limitations expired on April 17, 2015. As of that date, over 400 plaintiffs had filed claims, including at least 9 entities, 325 individuals, and 80 insurance companies. Plaintiffs allege various theories of negligence, strict liability, and breach of warranty under Texas law. Although we do not own or operate the facility or directly sell our products to West Fertilizer Co., products that the CF Entities manufactured and sold to others were delivered to the facility and may have been stored at the West facility at the time of the incident. The Court granted in part and denied in part the CF Entities’ Motions for Summary Judgment in August 2015. Over two hundred cases have been resolved pursuant to confidential settlements that have been or we expect will be fully funded by insurance. The remaining cases are in various stages of discovery and pre-trial proceedings. The next group of cases was reset for trial beginning on July 23, 2019. We believe we have strong legal and factual defenses and intend to continue defending the CF Entities vigorously in the pending lawsuits. The Company cannot provide a range of reasonably possible loss due to the lack of damages discovery for many of the remaining claims and the uncertain nature of this litigation, including uncertainties around the potential allocation of responsibility by a jury to other defendants or responsible third parties. The recognition of a potential loss in the future in the West Fertilizer Co. litigation could negatively affect our results in the period of recognition. However, based upon currently available information, including available insurance coverage, we do not believe that this litigation will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Other Litigation From time to time, we are subject to ordinary, routine legal proceedings related to the usual conduct of our business, including proceedings regarding public utility and transportation rates, environmental matters, taxes and permits relating to the operations of our various plants and facilities. Based on the information available as of the date of this filing, we believe that the ultimate outcome of these routine matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Environmental From time to time, we receive notices from governmental agencies or third parties alleging that we are a potentially responsible party at certain cleanup sites under CERCLA or other environmental cleanup laws. In 2011, we received a notice from the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) that alleged that we were a potentially responsible party for the cleanup of a former phosphate mine site we owned in the late 1950s and early 1960s located in Georgetown Canyon, Idaho. The current property owner and a former mining contractor received similar notices for the site. In 2014, we and the current property owner entered into a Consent Order with IDEQ and the U.S. Forest Service to conduct a remedial investigation and feasibility study of the site. In 2015, we and several other parties received a notice that the U.S. Department of the Interior and other trustees intend to undertake a natural resource damage assessment for 17 |

Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements | Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements The following condensed consolidating financial information is presented in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-10, Financial statements of guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities registered or being registered , and relates to (i) the senior notes due 2020, 2023, 2034, 2043 and 2044 (described in Note 12—Financing Agreements and referred to in this report as the Public Senior Notes) issued by CF Industries, Inc. (CF Industries), a 100% owned subsidiary of CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (Parent), and guarantees of the Public Senior Notes by Parent and by CFE, CFS, CF USA and CFIDF (the Subsidiary Guarantors), which are 100% owned subsidiaries of Parent, and (ii) debt securities of CF Industries (Other Debt Securities), and guarantees thereof by Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors, that may be offered and sold from time to time under registration statements that may be filed by Parent, CF Industries and the Subsidiary Guarantors with the SEC. In the event that a subsidiary of Parent, other than CF Industries, becomes a borrower or a guarantor under the Revolving Credit Agreement (or any renewal, replacement or refinancing thereof), such subsidiary would be required to become a guarantor of the Public Senior Notes, provided that such requirement will no longer apply with respect to the Public Senior Notes due 2023, 2034, 2043 and 2044 following the repayment of the Public Senior Notes due 2020 or the subsidiaries of Parent, other than CF Industries, otherwise becoming no longer subject to such a requirement to guarantee the Public Senior Notes due 2020. The Subsidiary Guarantors became guarantors of the Public Senior Notes as a result of this requirement. All of the guarantees of the Public Senior Notes are, and we have assumed for purposes of this presentation of condensed consolidating financial information that the guarantees of any Other Debt Securities would be, full and unconditional (as such term is defined in SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-10(h)) and joint and several. The guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically released with respect to a series of the Public Senior Notes (1) upon the release, discharge or termination of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of the Revolving Credit Agreement (or any renewal, replacement or refinancing thereof), (2) upon legal defeasance with respect to the Public Senior Notes of such series or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture with respect to such series of Public Senior Notes or (3) in the case of the Public Senior Notes due 2023, 2034, 2043 and 2044, upon the discharge, termination or release of, or the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of the Public Senior Notes due 2020, including, without limitation, any such discharge, termination or release as a result of retirement, discharge or legal or covenant defeasance of, or satisfaction and discharge of the supplemental indenture governing, the Public Senior Notes due 2020. For purposes of the presentation of condensed consolidating financial information, the subsidiaries of Parent other than CF Industries and the Subsidiary Guarantors are referred to as the Non-Guarantors. Presented below are condensed consolidating statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income and statements of cash flows for Parent, CF Industries, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantors for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and condensed consolidating balance sheets for Parent, CF Industries, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantors as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . The condensed consolidating financial information presented below is not necessarily indicative of the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income or cash flows of Parent, CF Industries, the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Non-Guarantors on a stand-alone basis. In these condensed consolidating financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are presented under the equity method, in which our investments are recorded at cost and adjusted for our ownership share of a subsidiary’s cumulative results of operations, distributions and other equity changes, and the eliminating entries reflect primarily intercompany transactions such as sales, accounts receivable and accounts payable and the elimination of equity investments and earnings of subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2019 , two of our consolidated entities have made elections to be taxed as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are included in the Non-Guarantors column. Due to the partnership tax treatment, these subsidiaries do not record taxes on their financial statements. The tax provision pertaining to the income of these partnerships, plus applicable deferred tax balances are reflected on the financial statements of the parent company owner that is included in the Subsidiary Guarantors column in the following financial information. Liabilities related to benefit plan obligations are reflected on the legal entity that funds the obligation, while the benefit plan expense is included on the legal entity to which the employee provides services.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Recently Adopted Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Pronouncements On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease accounting requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize the rights and obligations resulting from virtually all leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease) on their balance sheets as right-of-use assets with corresponding lease liabilities. Extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, are required to provide greater insight into the extent of income and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from existing contracts. We elected the optional transition method provided under ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides the option to adopt ASU No. 2016-02 as of the adoption date with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The cumulative effect adjustment we recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 was not material. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASU No. 2016-02, which allows us to carry forward the historical lease determination, lease classification, and assessment of initial direct costs. See Note 13—Leases for additional information. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships in order to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The adoption of this ASU had no effect on our consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Pronouncements |
