Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | NOTE 1. _________________ BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, in the opinion of Management, include all adjustments that are necessary for the fair statement of Domtar Corporation’s (“the Company”) financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Results for the first six months of the year may not necessarily be indicative of full year results. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Domtar Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 2018 Consolidated Balance Sheet, presented for comparative purposes in this interim report, was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On January 1, 2019, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02, “ Leases LEASES At inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement contains a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means that the Company has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. For each lease arrangement that has an original lease term of more than 12 months, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The right-of-use asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while the lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The right-of-use asset and the lease liability are initially recorded at the same amount at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the rate implicit in the lease when readily determined or, in most cases, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The right-of-use asset is tested for impairment in accordance with ASC 360 – “ Property, Plant and Equipment The terms of a lease arrangement determine how a lease is classified (operating or finance), the resulting recognition pattern in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the classification in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease expense is represented by the interest on the lease liability determined using the effective interest method and the amortization of the finance lease right-of-use asset calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the identified asset. Finance lease related balances are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Property, plant and equipment, net, Long-term debt due within one year and Long-term debt. Operating lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term by adding interest expense determined using the effective interest method to the amortization of the right-of-use asset. Operating lease related balances are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Operating lease right-of-use assets, Operating lease liabilities due within one year and Operating lease liabilities. Operating lease right-of-use assets are reduced by previously recognized liabilities relating to unfavorable terms of leases acquired as part of a business combination and impairments. For operating lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. |

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | NOTE 2. _________________ RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ACCOUNTING CHANGES IMPLEMENTED LEASES In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases The Company elected to initially apply the new leases standard as of January 1, 2019 with certain available practical expedients which are discussed below. No cumulative-effect adjustments on retained earnings were necessary as of January 1, 2019. The most significant impact of adopting the new standard was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. The accounting for finance leases remains substantially unchanged. In transitioning to the new standard, the Company elected to use the practical expedient package. Accordingly, we did not reassess the following: • Whether existing or expired contracts are, or contained, a lease (including executory contracts). • The lease classification of existing or expired leases previously made by management. • Whether initial direct costs for existing leases would qualify under the new standard. Furthermore, the Company elected to use the hindsight practical expedient in determining the lease term and assessing impairment of the right-of-use assets. For all comparative periods prior to the adoption of the new leases standard, the Company will continue to report operating leases in the consolidated financial statements under ASC 840 “ Leases COMPREHENSIVE INCOME In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “ Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income This guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company has decided not to elect this option, as permitted in the new guidance. FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES IMPLEMENTATION COSTS FOR CLOUD COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “ Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract • Capitalized implementation costs should be presented in the same line item on the balance sheet as amounts prepaid for the hosted CCA service, if any (generally as an “other asset”). • The amortization of capitalized implementation costs should be presented in the same statement of earnings line item as the fees associated with the hosted CCA service. Accordingly, the amortization of capitalized implementation costs should not be included with depreciation or amortization expense related to property, plant, and equipment or intangible assets. • Cash flows related to capitalized implementation costs should be presented as operating activities, consistent with the presentation of cash flows for the fees related to the hosted CCA service. • Entities are required to disclose the nature of the hosting arrangements that are service contracts and significant judgments made when applying the guidance. Additionally, companies are required to provide quantitative disclosures, including amounts capitalized, amortized, and impaired. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. While the Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard, it does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurement | NOTE 3. ________________ DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT HEDGING PROGRAMS The Company is exposed to market risk, such as changes in currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates. To the extent the Company decides to manage the volatility related to these exposures, the Company may enter into various financial derivatives that are accounted for under the derivatives and hedging guidance. These transactions are governed by the Company's hedging policies which provide direction on acceptable hedging activities, including instrument type and acceptable counterparty exposure. Upon inception, the Company formally documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items. At inception and quarterly thereafter, the Company formally assesses whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the cash flow or the fair value of the underlying exposures. The ineffective portion of the qualifying instrument is immediately recognized to earnings. The amount of ineffectiveness recognized was immaterial for all periods presented. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. CREDIT RISK The Company is exposed to credit risk on the accounts receivable from its customers. In order to reduce this risk, the Company reviews new customers’ credit history before granting credit and conducts regular reviews of existing customers’ credit performance. As of June 30, 2019, two of Domtar’s Pulp and Paper segment customers located in the U.S. represented 12% or $78 million, and 12% or $75 million, respectively, of the Company’s receivables (December 31, 2018 – one Pulp and Paper segment customer located in the U.S. represented 10% or $67 million). The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to its financial instruments. The Company attempts to minimize this exposure by entering into contracts with counterparties that are believed to be of high credit quality. Collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk is usually not obtained. The credit standing of counterparties is regularly monitored. INTEREST RATE RISK The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates on its cash and cash equivalents, bank indebtedness, revolving credit facility and securitization, term loan and long-term debt. The Company’s objective in managing exposure to interest rate changes is to minimize the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. The Company may manage this interest rate exposure through the use of derivative instruments such as interest rate swap contracts, whereby it agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. COST RISK Cash flow hedges: The Company is exposed to price volatility for raw materials and energy used in its manufacturing process. The Company manages its exposure to cost risk primarily through the use of supplier contracts. The Company purchases natural gas at the prevailing market price at the time of delivery. To reduce the impact on cash flow and earnings due to pricing volatility, the Company may utilize derivatives to fix the price of forecasted natural gas purchases. The changes in the fair value on qualifying instruments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent effective, and reclassified into Cost of sales in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Current contracts are used to hedge a portion of forecasted purchases over the next 54 months. The following table presents the volumes under derivative financial instruments for natural gas contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2019 to hedge forecasted purchases: Commodity Notional contractual quantity under derivative contracts MMBtu (2) Notional contractual value under derivative contracts (in millions of dollars) Percentage of forecasted purchases under derivative contracts Natural gas 2019 (1) 6,390,000 $ 19 47% 2020 11,165,000 $ 34 40% 2021 9,270,000 $ 27 33% 2022 9,270,000 $ 25 33% 2023 4,210,000 $ 11 15% (1) Represents the remaining six months of 2019 (2) MMBtu: Millions of British thermal units The natural gas derivative contracts were fully effective as of June 30, 2019. There were no amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 resulting from hedge ineffectiveness (three and six months ended June 30, 2018 – nil). FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK Cash flow hedges: The Company has manufacturing operations in the United States, Canada and Europe. As a result, it is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates in Canada and Europe. Moreover, certain assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and are exposed to foreign currency movements. Accordingly, the Company’s earnings are affected by increases or decreases in the value of the Canadian dollar and European currencies. The Company’s European subsidiaries are also exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in a currency other than their Euro functional currency. The Company’s risk management policy allows it to hedge a significant portion of its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for periods up to three years. The Company may use derivative financial instruments (currency options and foreign exchange forward contracts) to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivatives are used to hedge forecasted purchases in Canadian dollars by the Company’s Canadian subsidiary over the next 24 months. Such derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in the fair value on qualifying instruments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent effective, and reclassified into Sales or Cost of sales in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The following table presents the currency values under significant currency positions pursuant to currency derivatives outstanding as of June 30, 2019 to hedge forecasted purchases and sales: Currency exposure hedged Business Segment Year of maturity Notional contractual value Percentage of forecasted net exposures under contracts Average Protection rate Average Obligation rate CAD/USD Pulp and Paper 2019 (1) 350 CAD 78% 1 USD = 1.2913 1 USD = 1.3120 CAD/USD Pulp and Paper 2020 488 CAD 54% 1 USD = 1.2967 1 USD = 1.3109 CAD/USD Pulp and Paper 2021 163 CAD 18% 1 USD = 1.3192 1 USD = 1.3192 (1) Represents the remaining The foreign exchange derivative contracts were fully effective as of June 30, 2019. There were no amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 resulting from hedge ineffectiveness (three and six months ended June 30, 2018 – nil). FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (except Long-term debt, see (b) below) at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, in accordance with the accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value. Fair Value of financial instruments at: June 30, 2019 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) Significant observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) Balance sheet classification $ $ $ $ Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Asset derivatives Currency derivatives 4 — 4 — (a) Prepaid expenses Currency derivatives 2 — 2 — (a) Other assets Total Assets 6 — 6 — Liabilities derivatives Currency derivatives 5 — 5 — (a) Trade and other payables Natural gas swap contracts 7 — 7 — (a) Trade and other payables Currency derivatives 1 — 1 — (a) Other Natural gas swap contracts 6 — 6 — (a) Other liabilities and deferred credits Total Liabilities 19 — 19 — Other Instruments: Stock-based compensation - liability awards 7 7 — — Trade and other payables Stock-based compensation - liability awards 16 16 — — Other liabilities and deferred credits Long-term debt 877 — 877 — (b) Long-term debt The net cumulative loss recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss relating to natural gas contracts is $13 million at June 30, 2019, of which a loss of $7 million will be recognized in Cost of sales upon maturity of the derivatives over the next 12 months at the then prevailing values, which may be different from those at June 30, 2019. The net cumulative gain or loss recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss relating to currency options and forwards hedging forecasted purchases is nil at June 30, 2019. A loss of $1 million will be recognized in Cost of sales or Sales upon maturity of the derivatives over the next 12 months at the then prevailing values, which may be different from those at June 30, 2019. Fair Value of financial instruments at: December 31, 2018 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) Significant observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) Balance sheet classification $ $ $ $ Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Asset derivatives Currency derivatives 1 — 1 — (a) Prepaid expenses Natural gas swap contracts 1 — 1 — (a) Prepaid expenses Total Assets 2 — 2 — Liabilities derivatives Currency derivatives 19 — 19 — (a) Trade and other payables Natural gas swap contracts 2 — 2 — (a) Trade and other payables Currency derivatives 11 — 11 — (a) Other liabilities and deferred credits Natural gas swap contracts 5 — 5 — (a) Other liabilities and deferred credits Total Liabilities 37 — 37 — Other Instruments: Stock-based compensation - liability awards 6 6 — — Trade and other payables Stock-based compensation - liability awards 14 14 — — Other liabilities and deferred credits Long-term debt 858 — 858 — (b) Long-term debt (a) Fair value of the Company’s derivatives are classified under Level 2 (inputs that are observable; directly or indirectly) as it is measured as follows: - For currency derivatives: Fair value is measured using techniques derived from the Black-Scholes pricing model. Interest rates, forward market rates and volatility are used as inputs for such valuation techniques. - For natural gas contracts: Fair value is measured using the discounted difference between contractual rates and quoted market future rates. (b) Fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is measured by comparison to market prices of its debt. The Company’s long-term debt is not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. However, fair value disclosure is required. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt is $825 million and $854 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, bank indebtedness, trade and other payables and income and other taxes approximate their fair values. |

Income Taxes | NOTE 7. _________________ INCOME TAXES For the second quarter of 2019, the Company’s income tax expense was $5 million, consisting of a current income tax expense of $3 million and a deferred income tax expense of $2 million. This compares to an income tax expense of $8 million in the second quarter of 2018, consisting of a current income tax expense of $10 million and a deferred income tax benefit of $2 million. The Company made income tax payments, net of refunds, of $44 million during the second quarter of 2019. The effective tax rate was 22% compared with an effective tax rate of 16% in the second quarter of 2018. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was favorably impacted by an enacted law change in the state of Arkansas, which was mostly offset by the recording of a valuation allowance against certain state tax credit carryforwards. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 was favorably impacted by the enacted law changes in Sweden and several U.S states. For the first six months of 2019, the Company’s income tax expense amounted to $29 million, consisting of a current income tax expense of $30 million and a deferred income tax benefit of $1 million. This compares to an income tax expense of $19 million in the first six months of 2018, consisting of a current income tax expense of $24 million and a deferred income tax benefit of $5 million. The Company made income tax payments, net of refunds, of $50 million during the first six months of 2019. The effective tax rate was 23% compared to an effective tax rate of 16% in the first six months of 2018. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2019 was favorably impacted by the recognition of a $1 million R&D credit in a U.S. state as well as by an enacted law change in the state of Arkansas, which was mostly offset by the recording of a valuation allowance against certain state tax credit carryforwards. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2018 was favorably impacted by the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits due to a statute expiration in a foreign jurisdiction as well as by enacted law changes in Sweden and several U.S states. During the second quarter of 2019, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued final regulations involving certain guidance related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”). The final regulations are effective retroactive to January 1, 2018, and the Company has accounted for the effect of these final regulations in its tax expense for the second quarter of 2019 with no significant impacts. Furthermore, during the quarter, the IRS proposed additional GILTI regulations, which are still pending approval. While the Company is still evaluating the impact, it does not expect those proposed regulations to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |

Shareholders' Equity | NOTE 13. _________________ SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY On February 19, 2019, and May 8, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.435 and $0.455 per share, respectively, to be paid to holders of the Company’s common stock. Dividends of $28 million each were paid on April 15, 2019 and July 16, 2019, respectively, to shareholders of record on April 2, 2019 and July 2, 2019, respectively. On August 6, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.455 per share to be paid to holders of the Company’s common stock. This dividend is to be paid on October 15, 2019, to shareholders of record on October 2, 2019. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program (the “Program”) of up to $1.3 billion. Under the Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time, shares of its outstanding common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of stock repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the market conditions as well as corporate and regulatory considerations. The Program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the Program. The Program has no set expiration date. The Company repurchases its common stock in part to reduce the dilutive effects of stock options and awards, and to improve shareholders’ returns. The Company makes open market purchases of its common stock using general corporate funds. Additionally, the Company may enter into structured stock repurchase agreements with large financial institutions using general corporate funds in order to lower the average cost to acquire shares. The agreements would require the Company to make up-front payments to the counterparty financial institutions, which would result in either the receipt of stock at the beginning of the term of the agreements followed by a share adjustment at the maturity of the agreements, or the receipt of either stock or cash at the maturity of the agreements, depending upon the price of the stock. During the first six months of 2019, the Company repurchased 194,407 shares at an average price of $42.26 for a total cost of $8 million. During the first six months of 2018, there were no shares repurchased under the Program. Since the inception of the Program, the Company has repurchased 25,048,234 shares at an average price of $39.35 for a total cost of $986 million. All shares repurchased are recorded as Treasury stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the par value method at $0.01 per share. |

Commitments and Contingencies | NOTE 14. _________________ COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations enacted by federal, provincial, state and local authorities. The Company may also incur substantial costs in relation to enforcement actions (including orders requiring corrective measures, installation of pollution control equipment or other remedial actions) as a result of violations of, or liabilities under, environmental laws and regulations applicable to its past and present properties. The Company’s ongoing efforts to identify potential environmental concerns that may be associated with such properties may result in additional environmental costs and liabilities which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In connection with contamination of a site bordering Burrard Inlet in North Vancouver, on February 16, 2010, the government of British Columbia issued a Remediation Order to Seaspan International Ltd. and the Company, in order to define and implement an action plan to address soil, sediment and groundwater issues. Construction began in January 2017 and was completed in the first quarter of 2019. The Company previously recorded an environmental reserve to address its estimated exposure. The possible cost in excess of the reserve is not considered to be material for this matter. A former owner of the Company’s Dryden, Ontario manufacturing site (the "Dryden Property") operated a chlor-alkali plant during the 1960s and 1970s, during which time, mercury and other pollutants were used and discharged into the natural environment. In conjunction with the sale and redevelopment of the Dryden Property, the Province of Ontario (the “Province”) provided a broad indemnity (the "Indemnity") in 1985 to the then purchaser of the Dryden Property and its successors and assigns with respect to the discharge of any pollutant, including mercury, by the historical operators of the Dryden Property. This Indemnity was subsequently assigned to the Company in connection with its 2007 purchase of the Dryden Property. As the current owner of the Dryden Property, Domtar is actively engaged with the Province with respect to the management of the historical contamination. The Province has challenged whether certain owners of the Dryden Property prior to Domtar can benefit from the Indemnity in relation to the historic contamination. The Province was unsuccessful in the lower courts and has appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, whose decision is pending. The Province may also challenge whether Domtar has the benefit of the Indemnity. Should it be determined that Domtar does not have the benefit of the Indemnity, Domtar may be exposed to future costs that could have a material financial impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The following table reflects changes in the reserve for environmental remediation and asset retirement obligations: June 30, 2019 $ Balance at beginning of year 37 Additions and other changes 1 Environmental spending (4 ) Effect of foreign currency exchange rate change 1 Balance at end of period 35 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) and/or various state agencies have notified the Company that it may be a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, commonly known as “Superfund”, and similar state laws with respect to other hazardous waste sites as to which no proceedings have been instituted against the Company. The Company continues to take remedial action under its Care and Control Program at its former wood preserving sites, and at a number of operating sites, due to possible soil, sediment or groundwater contamination. Climate change regulation Various national and local laws and regulations relating to climate change have been established or are emerging in jurisdictions where the Company currently has, or may have in the future, manufacturing facilities or investments. On July 8, 2019, the EPA published a final rule to repeal the Clean Power Plan and replace it with the “Affordable Clean Energy” (“ACE”) rule. Unlike the Clean Power Plan, which would have required significant changes across the entire power sector, ACE only requires states to develop plans for efficiency improvements at coal-fired electric utility generating units. The rule was immediately challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Regardless of the outcome for the Clean Power Plan and ACE, the Company does not expect to be disproportionately affected compared with other pulp and paper producers located in the states where the Company operates. The province of Quebec has a greenhouse gases (“GHG”) cap-and-trade systems with reduction targets. British Columbia has a carbon tax that applies to the purchase of fossil fuels within the province. The Company does not expect its facilities to be disproportionately affected by these measures compared to the other pulp and paper producers located in these provinces. The Government of Canada has established a federal carbon pricing system in provinces that do not already impose a cost on carbon emissions. The Government of Canada will be imposing its carbon pricing program for regulating GHG emissions in Ontario. This regulatory system took effect in Ontario on January 1, 2019. To reduce GHG emissions and recognize the unique circumstances of the province’s diverse economy, Ontario recently finalized its own GHG Emission Performance Standards regulation. The Ontario Government is in discussions with the Canadian Government to replace the federal program in Ontario with its provincial program. Additional environmental costs may result from this effort which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of operations, the Company becomes involved in various legal actions mostly related to contract disputes, patent infringements, environmental and product warranty claims, and labor issues. While the final outcome with respect to actions outstanding or pending at June 30, 2019, cannot be predicted with certainty, it is management’s opinion that their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. INDEMNIFICATIONS In the normal course of business, the Company offers indemnifications relating to the sale of its businesses and real estate. In general, these indemnifications may relate to claims from past business operations, the failure to abide by covenants and the breach of representations and warranties included in the sales agreements. Typically, such representations and warranties relate to taxation, environmental, product and employee matters. The terms of these indemnification agreements are generally for an unlimited period of time. At June 30, 2019, the Company is unable to estimate the potential maximum liabilities for these types of indemnification guarantees as the amounts are contingent upon the outcome of future events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Accordingly, no provision has been recorded. These indemnifications have not yielded a significant expense in the past. Pension Plans The Company has indemnified and held harmless the trustees of its pension funds, and the respective officers, directors, employees and agents of such trustees, from any and all costs and expenses arising out of the performance of their obligations under the relevant trust agreements, including in respect of their reliance on authorized instructions from the Company or for failing to act in the absence of authorized instructions. These indemnifications survive the termination of such agreements. At June 30, 2019, the Company has not recorded a liability associated with these indemnifications, as it does not expect to make any payments pertaining to these indemnifications. |

Leases | LEASES In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases The Company elected to initially apply the new leases standard as of January 1, 2019 with certain available practical expedients which are discussed below. No cumulative-effect adjustments on retained earnings were necessary as of January 1, 2019. The most significant impact of adopting the new standard was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. The accounting for finance leases remains substantially unchanged. In transitioning to the new standard, the Company elected to use the practical expedient package. Accordingly, we did not reassess the following: • Whether existing or expired contracts are, or contained, a lease (including executory contracts). • The lease classification of existing or expired leases previously made by management. • Whether initial direct costs for existing leases would qualify under the new standard. Furthermore, the Company elected to use the hindsight practical expedient in determining the lease term and assessing impairment of the right-of-use assets. For all comparative periods prior to the adoption of the new leases standard, the Company will continue to report operating leases in the consolidated financial statements under ASC 840 “ Leases |
Comprehensive Income | COMPREHENSIVE INCOME In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “ Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income This guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company has decided not to elect this option, as permitted in the new guidance. |

Implementation Costs for Cloud Computing Arrangements | IMPLEMENTATION COSTS FOR CLOUD COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “ Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract • Capitalized implementation costs should be presented in the same line item on the balance sheet as amounts prepaid for the hosted CCA service, if any (generally as an “other asset”). • The amortization of capitalized implementation costs should be presented in the same statement of earnings line item as the fees associated with the hosted CCA service. Accordingly, the amortization of capitalized implementation costs should not be included with depreciation or amortization expense related to property, plant, and equipment or intangible assets. • Cash flows related to capitalized implementation costs should be presented as operating activities, consistent with the presentation of cash flows for the fees related to the hosted CCA service. • Entities are required to disclose the nature of the hosting arrangements that are service contracts and significant judgments made when applying the guidance. Additionally, companies are required to provide quantitative disclosures, including amounts capitalized, amortized, and impaired. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. While the Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard, it does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |
