Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Background - Knowles Corporation (NYSE:KN) is a market leader and global provider of advanced micro-acoustic, audio processing, and precision device solutions, serving the mobile consumer electronics, communications, medtech, defense, electric vehicle, and industrial markets. The Company uses its leading position in micro-electro-mechanical systems ("MEMS") microphones and strong capabilities in audio processing technologies to optimize audio systems and improve the user experience in mobile, ear, and Internet of Things ("IoT") applications. Knowles is also a leader in acoustic components, high-end capacitors, and mmWave radio frequency ("RF") solutions for a diverse set of markets. The Company's focus on the customer, combined with its unique technology, proprietary manufacturing techniques, rigorous testing, and global scale, enable the Company to deliver innovative solutions that optimize the user experience. References to "Knowles," "the Company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Knowles Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. On February 24, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of the Company's common stock. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors, and will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws in either the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number, and share price of shares repurchased will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, and applicable legal requirements. Any shares repurchased will be held as treasury stock. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 1,078,363 shares of common stock for a total of $16.2 million. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company temporarily suspended share repurchases, but resumed the share repurchase program in the fourth quarter of 2020. On December 20, 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the MEMS Microphone Application-specific integrated circuit Design Business (“ASIC Design Business”). See Note 3. Acquisitions for additional information related to the transaction. On January 3, 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of DITF Interconnect Technology, Inc. ("DITF"), a thin film components manufacturer. See Note 3. Acquisitions for additional information related to the transaction. On January 19, 2018, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Compex Corporation ("Compex"), a capacitors manufacturer. See Note 3. Acquisitions for additional information related to the transaction. On November 28, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its high-end oscillators business ("Timing Device Business"). On July 7, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its speaker and receiver product line (“Speaker and Receiver Product Line”). In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, the results of operations and related assets and liabilities for the Timing Device Business and Speaker and Receiver Product Line have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2. Disposed and Discontinued Operations for additional information related to the transactions. Financial Statement Presentation - The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. These estimates may be adjusted due to changes in future economic, industry, or customer financial conditions, as well as changes in technology or demand. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, inventory reserves, restructuring reserves, warranty reserves, pension and post-retirement plans, stock-based compensation, useful lives for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, uncertain income tax positions, changes in tax laws, and contingencies. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates, including considerations for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the macroeconomic environment. The situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be complex and rapidly evolving. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic or fully ascertain its impact on the Company’s future results and market capitalization, which could adversely impact estimates such as the recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets and the realizability of deferred tax assets. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not believe such differences would materially affect the financial statements in any individual year. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period that they are determined. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and temporary cash investments with original maturities less than three months. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – The Company maintains allowances for estimated losses as a result of customers' inability to make required payments. Management evaluates the aging of the accounts receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends, relevant forecasts, and the time outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision. Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. The value of inventory may decline as a result of surplus inventory, price reductions, or technological obsolescence. It is the Company’s policy to carry reserves against the carrying value of inventory when items have no future demand (obsolete inventory) and additionally, where inventory items on hand have demand, yet have insufficient forecasted activity to consume the entire stock within a reasonable period. It is the Company’s policy to carry reserves against the carrying value of such at-risk inventory items after considering the nature of the risk and any mitigating factors. Property, Plant, and Equipment - Property, plant, and equipment includes the historic cost of land, buildings, equipment, and significant improvements to existing plant and equipment or, in the case of acquisitions, a fair market value appraisal of such assets completed at the time of acquisition. Property, plant, and equipment also includes the cost of purchased software. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the respective accounts, and the gain or loss realized on disposition is reflected in earnings. The Company historically depreciates its assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: buildings and improvements 5 to 31.5 years; machinery and equipment 1.5 to 7 years; furniture and fixtures 2 to 5 years; vehicles 3 to 5 years; and software 3 to 5 years. Leases - The Company adopted ASC 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019 under the prospective transition method that did not require comparative period financial statements to be adjusted. Periods prior to January 1, 2019 have been presented in accordance with prior guidance (ASC 840). The Company elected the transition package of practical expedients for leases that commenced before the adoption date, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward historical lease classifications. Finance leases were not impacted by the adoption of ASC 842 as finance lease liabilities and right-of-use assets were recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for periods prior to January 1, 2019 under ASC 840. The standard did not materially impact the Consolidated Statements of Earnings or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company includes options to extend or terminate a lease within the lease term when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease while right-of-use assets represent a right to use an underlying asset during the lease term. Right-of-use assets include prepaid fixed lease payments and exclude lease incentives. As the Company's leases do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on information available at the lease commencement date. Fixed lease expense for operating leases and right-of-use asset amortization for finance leases are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments, such as payments based on an index rate or usage, are expensed as incurred and excluded from lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. The Company combines lease components and nonlease components such as maintenance into a single lease component, which results in the capitalization of all fixed payments within lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Derivative Instruments - The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposures to various risks, including interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes and does not have a material portfolio of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes must be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at inception of the contract. The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives is recorded as a component of other comprehensive earnings and subsequently recognized in net earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - Goodwill represents the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and certain other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives (primarily trademarks) are not amortized. Instead, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if there are events or circumstances indicating the carrying value of individual reporting units or assets may exceed their respective fair values on a more likely than not basis. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of each year on October 1. Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level. The Company has three reporting units. The goodwill balances associated with the Mobile Consumer Electronics ("MCE"), Hearing Health Technologies ("HHT"), and Capacitors reporting units were $741.0 million, $137.8 million, and $31.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. The impairment assessment compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model that includes the Company’s market participant assumptions, forecasted future cash flows based on historical performance and future estimated results, determinations of appropriate discount rates, and other assumptions which are considered reasonable and inherent in the discounted cash flow analysis. Significant assumptions used in the assessment include forecasted revenue and terminal growth rates, profit margins, income taxes, and the Company's weighted average cost of capital. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from estimated amounts. The fair value of all of the Company’s reporting units exceeded the carrying values by at least 25%, resulting in no goodwill impairment charges. Potential circumstances that could have a negative effect on the fair value of our reporting units include, but are not limited to, lower than forecasted growth rates or profit margins and changes in the weighted average cost of capital. A reduction in the estimated fair value of the reporting units could trigger an impairment in the future. The Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets. In testing its indefinite-lived trademarks for impairment, the Company uses a relief from royalty method to calculate and compare the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying value. This method estimates the fair value of trademarks by calculating the present value of royalty income that could hypothetically be earned by licensing the trademark to a third party. Any excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. No impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles was indicated for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, or 2018. See Note 7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for additional information on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Other Intangible and Long-Lived Assets - Other intangible assets with determinable lives consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, patents, and trademarks and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, typically ranging from 5 to 10 years. The Company relies on patents and proprietary technology, and seeks patent protection for products and production methods. The Company capitalizes external legal costs incurred in the defense of its patents when it believes that a significant, discernible increase in value will result from the defense and a successful outcome of the legal action is probable. These costs are amortized over the remaining estimated useful life of the patent, which is typically 7 to 10 years. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit and/or the successful outcome of legal action related to patent defense involves considerable management judgment and a different outcome could result in material write-offs of the carrying value of these assets. The Company capitalized no legal costs related to the defense of its patents during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Long-lived assets and intangible assets with determinable lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an indicator of impairment exists for any grouping of assets, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows is produced and compared to its carrying value. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value as determined by an estimate of discounted future cash flows. The Company recorded impairment charges of $7.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no impairments recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. See Note 4. Impairments for additional details. Other Assets and Deferred Charges - Other assets and deferred charges at December 31, 2020 includes $2.5 million of investments in mutual funds carried at fair value based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The Company classifies these investments within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Gains and losses related to the investments are recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a component of Other expense, net. Other assets and deferred charges also include non-current deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Foreign Currency - Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Revenue and expense items are translated using weighted-average yearly exchange rates. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Assets and liabilities of an entity that are denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are re-measured into the functional currency using end of period exchange rates or historical rates where applicable to certain balances. Gains and losses related to these re-measurements are recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a component of Other expense, net. Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated through the manufacture and sale of a broad range of specialized products and components. For product and component sales, each good sold to a customer typically represents a distinct performance obligation. The Company’s performance obligation to provide goods to a customer is typically satisfied at a point in time upon completion of the shipping process as indicated by the terms of the contract, at which point control is transferred to the customer and revenue is recognized. The Company has no significant arrangements with multiple performance obligations. Remaining performance obligations consist of the aggregate amount of the total transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially satisfied. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, our total remaining performance obligations were immaterial. The Company recognizes sales-based royalty revenue under third-party license agreements as the related sales are made by licensees. The terms of a contract or historical business practice can give rise to variable consideration, including customer discounts, rebates, and returns. The Company estimates variable consideration using either the expected value or most likely amount method. We include amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur in a subsequent reporting period. Our estimates of variable consideration are based on all reasonably available information (historical, current, and forecasted). Rebates are recognized over the contract period based on expected revenue levels. Sales discounts and rebates totaled $4.2 million, $4.7 million, and $8.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Returns and allowances totaled $5.4 million, $6.6 million, and $7.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related good transfers to the customer as fulfillment activities rather than evaluating such activities as performance obligations. As a result, all shipping and handling costs related to contracts with customers are recognized in the Cost of goods sold line on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Additionally, the Company applies the practical expedient allowing incremental costs of obtaining a contract to be expensed as incurred if the amortization period of the resulting asset would have been less than one year. These costs primarily consist of sales commissions and the Company has no such significant costs exceeding the one year limit for applying the practical expedient. Receivables, net from contracts with customers were $123.8 million and $152.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See Note 18. Segment Information for disclosures regarding the disaggregation of revenues. Stock-Based Compensation – The principal awards issued under the stock-based compensation plans include stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance share units ("PSUs"). The cost for such awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is expected to ultimately vest is generally recognized as expense on a straight-line basis, generally over the explicit service period and is included in Cost of goods sold, Research and development expenses, and Selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, depending on the functional area of the underlying employees. The cost related to PSUs is recognized based on the expected attainment of performance targets. Changes in estimates that impact the number of shares expected to vest are recognized prospectively through cumulative adjustments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted to employees. The fair value of each RSU granted is equal to the share price at the date of the grant. The fair value of each PSU is determined using a binomial model simulation. At the time of grant, the Company estimates forfeitures, based on historical experience, in order to estimate the portion of the award that will ultimately vest. See Note 14. Equity Incentive Program for additional information related to the Company’s stock-based compensation. Income Taxes - The Company records a provision for income taxes for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company offsets and presents deferred tax liabilities and assets, as well as any related valuation allowance, as a single non-current amount on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a jurisdictional basis. The Company's policy is to release income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive loss in the period the underlying item expires. The Company establishes valuation allowances for its deferred tax assets if, based on all available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such assessments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. The assessment of the need for a valuation allowance requires considerable judgment on the part of management with respect to the benefits that could be realized from future taxable income, as well as other positive and negative factors. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it believes that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Adjustments are made to these reserves when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material impact on the Company's financial condition and operating results. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any reserves that are believed to be appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. bill commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform Act") was enacted, which significantly changed U.S. tax law. Since enactment of the Tax Reform Act, the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury Department have issued and are expected to issue further interpretive guidance that impacts taxpayers. The Company will continue to evaluate such guidance as it is issued and will recognize any resulting impact in the period the related regulations are enacted. Research and Development Costs – Research and development costs, including qualifying engineering costs, are expensed when incurred. Non-cash Investing Activities - Purchases of property, plant, and equipment included in accounts payable at December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 were $2.0 million, $4.7 million, and $7.1 million, respectively. These non-cash amounts are not reflected as outflows to Additions to property, plant, and equipment within investing activities of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the respective periods. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06 to simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The standard eliminates certain accounting models that separated embedded conversion features from host contracts for convertible instruments, requiring bifurcation only if the convertible feature qualifies as a derivative under ASC 815 or for convertible instruments issued at a substantial premium. In addition, the guidance requires the if-converted method of calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments, which eliminates the use of the treasury stock method for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares. The standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The standard can be adopted on a modified retrospective basis to transactions outstanding as of the adoption date or on a fully retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company plans to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective method on January 1, 2022. The Company does not expect the standard to impact the Consolidated Financial Statements as all currently outstanding convertible instruments will mature prior to the expected adoption date. See Note 12. Borrowings for detail on the Company's outstanding convertible instruments. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and prospective application of the guidance is required. The Company elected to early adopt the standard in the fourth quarter of 2020, which did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Business Acquisition, Integration, Restructuring and Other Related Costs | ASIC Design Business On December 20, 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the ASIC Design Business from ams AG for $57.9 million. The acquired business, which does not generate revenues, includes intellectual property and an assembled workforce. The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition in the Audio segment. Included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings is a loss before income taxes of $0.1 million from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2019. The table below represents the final allocation of the purchase price to net assets acquired as of December 20, 2019: (in millions) Property, plant, and equipment $ 0.6 Developed technology 33.3 In-process research and development 3.7 Non-competition agreement 1.6 Goodwill 18.8 Assumed current liabilities (0.1) Total purchase price $ 57.9 Intangible Assets The fair values for developed technology and in-process research and development ("IPR&D") were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. This method reflects the present value of expected future cash flows less charges representing the contribution of other assets to those cash flows. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of developed technology and IPR&D include expected future cost savings, technology obsolescence rates, discount rates, and expected costs to complete IPR&D. Discount rates of 13.0% and 14.0% were applied to the expected future cash flows to reflect the risk related to developed technology and IPR&D, respectively. Developed technologies will be amortized over an estimated useful life of 6 years based on the technology cycle and cash flows over the forecast period. IPR&D is initially classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and assessed for impairment thereafter. Upon completion of the underlying project, IPR&D is reclassified as a definite-lived intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life. The IPR&D project is expected to be complete in 2021. The excess of the total purchase price over the total fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to synergies and the assembled workforce. All of the goodwill resulting from this acquisition is tax deductible. Goodwill has been allocated to the Audio segment, which is the segment expected to benefit from the acquisition. The Company believes the fair values assigned to intangible assets are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates that approximate the amounts a market participant would pay for these intangible assets as of the acquisition date. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Unaudited Pro-forma Summary The following unaudited pro-forma summary presents consolidated financial information as if the ASIC Design Business had been acquired on January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro-forma financial information is based on historical results of operations and financial positions of the Company and the ASIC Design Business. The pro-forma results include estimated amortization of definite-lived intangible assets and exclude cost savings and transaction costs. The unaudited pro-forma financial information does not necessarily represent the results that would have occurred had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018. In addition, the unaudited pro-forma information should not be deemed to be indicative of future results.

Income Taxes The components of earnings before income taxes and discontinued operations were: Years Ended December 31, (in millions) 2020 2019 2018 Domestic $ (26.2) $ (48.3) $ (34.1) Foreign 37.5 114.6 95.2 Total earnings before income taxes and discontinued operations $ 11.3 $ 66.3 $ 61.1 Income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 is comprised of the following: Years Ended December 31, (in millions) 2020 2019 2018 Current: U.S. Federal $ 0.7 $ 0.7 $ (25.0) State and local 0.2 0.2 0.1 Foreign 10.3 15.9 11.6 Total current tax expense (benefit) $ 11.2 $ 16.8 $ (13.3) Deferred: U.S. Federal $ (0.4) $ 0.1 $ 7.8 State and local 0.2 (0.1) 0.2 Foreign (2.6) (0.2) 0.8 Total deferred tax (benefit) expense (2.8) (0.2) 8.8 Total income tax expense (benefit) $ 8.4 $ 16.6 $ (4.5) The reconciliation of the U.S. Federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate was as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 U.S. Federal income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State and local taxes, net of Federal income tax benefit 4.2 % 0.2 % 0.4 % Foreign operations tax effect 17.3 % 5.0 % 4.0 % Research and experimentation tax credits (29.5) % (5.0) % (5.0) % Valuation allowance 85.4 % 15.0 % 22.9 % Tax contingencies 0.3 % 1.3 % (4.3) % Tax holiday (37.8) % (24.6) % (24.3) % Foreign taxes 2.8 % 2.1 % 0.9 % Non-deductible and non-taxable interest 1.0 % (2.9) % 1.4 % Stock-based compensation 11.3 % 3.0 % 3.1 % Other, principally non-tax deductible items 1.1 % 0.3 % 3.2 % Transition tax — % — % (28.9) % Global low tax and foreign derived intangible income 12.1 % 10.6 % (1.7) % Foreign currency adjustments (6.1) % — % — % Prior period items (8.8) % (1.0) % (0.1) % Effective income tax rate 74.3 % 25.0 % (7.4) % The Company’s effective tax rate is favorably impacted by two tax holidays granted to us by Malaysia effective through December 31, 2021. These tax holidays are subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions, including investment or sales thresholds, which the Company expects to maintain. The Malaysian tax holidays reduce the anticipated effective rate on qualified income to approximately 6.0% and 7.2% versus the statutory rate of 24.0%, through 2021. If the Company fails to satisfy such conditions, the Company’s effective tax rate may be significantly adversely impacted. The continuing operations benefit of these incentives for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 is estimated to be $3.8 million, $14.6 million, and $13.3 million, respectively. The continuing operations benefit of the tax holidays on a per share basis for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 was $0.04, $0.16, and $0.15, respectively. The components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities included the following: (in millions) December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Deferred tax assets: Accrued compensation, principally post-retirement, and other employee benefits $ 14.1 $ 14.1 Accrued expenses, principally for state income taxes and warranty 8.6 5.7 Accrued interest 7.7 0.8 Net operating loss and other carryforwards 71.6 67.6 Inventories, principally due to reserves for financial reporting purposes and capitalization for tax purposes 6.5 4.1 Convertible note hedges 1.8 3.9 Plant and equipment, principally due to differences in depreciation 13.0 10.2 Total gross deferred tax assets 123.3 106.4 Valuation allowance (98.0) (85.3) Total deferred tax assets $ 25.3 $ 21.1 Deferred tax liabilities: Intangible assets, principally due to different tax and financial reporting bases $ (4.3) $ (3.7) Debt discount on convertible notes (1.4) (2.9) Unremitted earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries (0.9) — Other liabilities (0.8) (1.0) Total gross deferred tax liabilities (7.4) (7.6) Net deferred tax asset $ 17.9 $ 13.5 Classified as follows in the Consolidated Balance Sheets: Other assets and deferred charges (non-current deferred tax assets) $ 19.9 $ 15.7 Deferred income taxes (non-current deferred tax liabilities) (2.0) (2.2) Net deferred tax asset $ 17.9 $ 13.5 The Company recorded valuation allowances of $98.0 million and $85.3 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, against deferred tax assets from continuing operations as the Company believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of the remaining deferred tax assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset is considered realizable, however, it could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present, requiring that additional weight be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth. It is reasonably possible that the Company may have a material adjustment to the valuation allowance for its U.S subsidiary in 2021. At December 31, 2020, the Company had $24.0 million of Federal net operating losses that are available, of which $10.7 million will expire in the next 5 to 10 years, and of which $13.3 million will expire in the next 10 to 20 years. There are $51.6 million of State net operating losses that are available between 2021 and 2036. There are $14.3 million of non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, of which $9.7 million will expire in the next 10 to 20 years and $4.6 million can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has $24.7 million of U.S. federal research and development credits that begin to expire in 2021 and $17.6 million of foreign tax credits that begin to expire in 2027. In addition, the Company has $19.7 million of state credits, of which $2.4 million will expire between 2021 and 2035 if unused, and $17.3 million can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has not provided for U.S. federal income taxes on the historical undistributed earnings of its international subsidiaries because such earnings are currently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions and will continue to be reinvested indefinitely, with the exception of its Malaysian and Luxembourg subsidiaries. Our Malaysian principal subsidiary is our primary source of foreign earnings and cash. Any future decision to distribute cash from this subsidiary to the U.S. should not result in a material amount of U.S. or foreign taxes as the majority of the Company's $1.0 billion historical undistributed earnings have been previously taxed in the U.S. under the Tax Reform Act. Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company records interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded no potential interest benefit or expense. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a potential interest benefit of $0.3 million. There was no accrued interest at December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. There was no recorded potential penalty expense during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded potential penalty expense of $0.1 million. Total accrued penalties at December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 of $0.3 million were included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's tax returns are routinely audited by the tax authorities in the relevant jurisdictions. For tax years before 2017, excluding 2015, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination. For tax years before 2015, the Company’s Malaysian principal subsidiary is no longer subject to examination. Included in the balance of total unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2020 are potential benefits of $1.5 million, which if recognized, would affect the effective rate on earnings from continuing operations. Given the Company's current valuation allowance position, no benefit is expected to result from the reversal of any uncertain tax position associated with the acquired attributes. Unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2018 $ 12.5 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 0.1 Additions for tax positions of prior years 0.3 Reductions for tax positions due to lapsed statutes of limitations (2.5) Settlements (0.3) Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2018 $ 10.1 Additions for tax positions of prior years 2.8 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (0.1) Settlements (0.1) Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2019 $ 12.7 Settlements (2.6) Foreign exchange fluctuations 0.1 Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2020 $ 10.2 |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-based Payment Arrangement, Performance Shares, Outstanding Activity [Table Text Block] | 14. Equity Incentive Program The Company maintains equity compensation plans that provide for the issuance of Knowles stock to directors, executive officers, and other employees. The maximum number of shares available for issuance under the plans is 16.1 million, of which 11.8 million were available for future awards at December 31, 2020. The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense recognized by the Company for the periods presented: Years Ended December 31, (in millions) 2020 2019 2018 Pre-tax stock-based compensation expense Cost of goods sold $ 1.7 $ 1.5 $ 1.6 Research and development expenses 6.2 7.7 7.8 Selling and administrative expenses 9.4 16.0 17.6 Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense 17.3 25.2 27.0 Tax benefit — — — Total stock-based compensation expense, net of tax $ 17.3 $ 25.2 $ 27.0 Compensation expense for stock-based awards is measured based on the fair value of the awards as of the date the stock-based awards are granted and adjusted to the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation costs for stock-based awards are amortized over their service period. Stock Option s and SSARs The fair value of stock options granted by the Company was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the assumptions shown in the table below. 2020 2019 2018 Risk-free interest rate 0.11% to 1.42% 1.55% to 2.44% 2.59% Dividend yield —% —% —% Expected life (years) 4.3 to 4.5 4.5 4.5 Volatility 38.8% to 40.6% 40.0% to 42.9% 41.2% Fair value at date of grant $4.78 to $5.95 $6.22 to $7.45 $4.83 to $6.59 Expected volatilities for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. Prior to the year ended December 31, 2019, the determination of expected volatility was based on a blended peer group volatility for companies in similar industries, stage of life, and with similar market capitalization since there was not sufficient historical volatility data for Knowles common stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of its stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock options. The expected term is the period over which our employees are expected to hold their options. It is based on the simplified method from the SEC’s safe harbor guidelines. The Company does not currently anticipate paying dividends over the expected term. The exercise price per share for the stock options granted by the Company was equal to the closing price of Knowles' stock on the NYSE on the date of the grant. The period during which options granted by the Company were exercisable was fixed by Knowles' Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of grant. Generally, stock options vest one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date and expire 7 years from the grant date. The following table summarizes the Company's SSAR and stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2020. SSARs Stock Options Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) (in millions, except share and per share amounts) Outstanding at December 31, 2019 596,537 $ 22.72 5,377,148 $ 17.51 Granted — — 896,875 16.75 Exercised — — (141,336) 12.73 Forfeited — — (173,680) 16.49 Expired — — (193,104) 20.53 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 596,537 $ 22.72 $ — 1.3 5,765,903 $ 17.44 $ 15.6 3.0 Exercisable at December 31, 2020 596,537 $ 22.72 $ — 1.3 4,245,893 $ 17.86 $ 12.3 2.0 The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the Company's closing stock price on December 31, 2020 and the exercise price of each SSAR and stock option, multiplied by the number of in-the-money awards. There was no unrecognized compensation expense related to SSARs at December 31, 2020. Unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options not yet exercisable at December 31, 2020 was $4.7 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. Other information regarding the exercise of SSARs and stock options is listed below: Years Ended December 31, (in millions) 2020 2019 2018 SSARs Fair value of SSARs that are exercisable $ 1.5 $ 1.5 $ 1.8 Aggregate intrinsic value of SSARs exercised — 0.4 0.1 Stock Options Cash received by Knowles for exercise of stock options 1.8 9.8 0.5 Aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised 0.4 2.7 0.2 RSUs The following table summarizes the Company's RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2020: Share units Weighted-average grant date fair value Unvested at December 31, 2019 2,261,114 $ 15.99 Granted 1,446,233 16.48 Vested (1) (1,058,356) 16.30 Forfeited (739,205) 16.22 Unvested at December 31, 2020 1,909,786 $ 16.14 (1) The number of RSUs vested includes shares that the Company withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements. RSUs generally vest based on the passage of time. RSUs have a three year vesting schedule and vest one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. The fair value of RSUs vested during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $17.3 million. At December 31, 2020, $16.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. PSUs The Company grants PSUs to senior management. In each case, the awards will cliff vest three years following the grant date. For the awards granted in February 2018 and 2017, the number of PSUs that may be earned and vest is based on the Company's revenues and stock price performance over a three year performance period. For the awards granted in February 2019, the number of PSUs that may be earned and vest is based on the Company's revenues and total shareholder return relative to the S&P Semiconductor Select Industry Index over a three year performance period. For the awards granted in February 2020, the number of PSUs that may be earned and vest is based on total shareholder return relative to the S&P Semiconductor Select Industry Index over a three year performance period. PSUs will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock. Depending on the Company's overall performance relative to the applicable performance metrics, the size of the PSU awards are subject to adjustment, up or down, resulting in awards at the end of the performance period that can range from 0% to 225% of the initial grant value. In February 2020, the awards granted in February 2017 were converted from 176,154 PSUs to 88,959 shares of stock based on achievement of performance metrics. The Company will ratably recognize the expense over the applicable service period for each grant of PSUs and adjust the expense as appropriate. The fair value of the PSUs is determined by using a Monte Carlo simulation. The following table summarizes the Company's PSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2020: Share units Weighted-average grant date fair value Unvested at December 31, 2019 844,789 $ 15.90 Granted 322,178 16.14 Vested (1) (184,405) 15.24 Forfeited (61,589) 17.05 Unvested at December 31, 2020 920,973 $ 16.04 (1) The number of PSUs vested includes shares that the Company withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements. The fair value of PSUs vested during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $2.8 million. At December 31, 2020, $3.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to PSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | 15. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The majority of these claims and proceedings relate to commercial, warranty, employment, and intellectual property matters. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal proceeding or claim cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including management’s assessment of the merits of the particular claim, the Company believes that, apart from the action set forth below, the disposition of these legal proceedings or claims, individually or in the aggregate, after taking into account recorded accruals and the availability and limits of insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on its cash flow, results of operations, or financial condition. As previously disclosed, the Company is party to a representative action filed in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County under the Private Attorneys General Act, Consuelo Andrade, individually and on behalf of other similarly situated vs. Novacap LLC et al. (Case No. 20STCV21805). The complaint was filed on June 5, 2020 and, as amended, alleges that the Company incorrectly calculated overtime rate of pay, incorrectly paid overtime, and provided inaccurate wage statements, to certain non-exempt employees at the Company’s Valencia, California manufacturing facility in violation of California law. The action seeks penalties, attorneys' fees, and other relief. The Company intends to defend these claims vigorously. The parties intend to participate in voluntary mediation in February 2021. While the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit, based on its current assessment of the facts underlying the complaint, the Company does not believe this matter will have a material adverse effect on its future financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company owns many patents and other intellectual property pertaining to its products, technology, and manufacturing processes. Some of the Company's patents have been and may continue to be infringed upon or challenged by others. In appropriate cases, the Company has taken and will take steps to protect and defend its patents and other intellectual property, including through the use of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions around the world. Such steps have resulted in and may continue to result in retaliatory legal proceedings, including litigation or other legal proceedings in various jurisdictions and forums around the world alleging infringement by the Company of patents owned by others. The costs of investigations and legal proceedings relating to the enforcement and defense of the Company’s intellectual property may be substantial. Additionally, in multi-forum disputes, the Company may incur adverse judgments with regard to certain claims in certain jurisdictions and forums while still contesting other related claims against the same opposing party in other jurisdictions and forums. Intellectual Property Infringement Claims The Company may, on a limited customer specific basis, provide contractual indemnities for certain losses that arise out of claims that its products infringe on the intellectual property of others. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, the Company has not made significant payments under such indemnity arrangements. The Company’s legal accruals associated with these indemnity arrangements were not significant at December 31, 2020 and 2019. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Employee Benefit Plans | 16. Employee Benefit Plans Knowles sponsors its own defined contribution plan. The Company's expense relating to the defined contribution plan was $6.2 million, $7.2 million, and $6.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Knowles sponsors four defined benefit pension plans to certain non-U.S. employees. The two plans in the U.K. and the plan in Taiwan are closed to new participants; however, all active participants in these plans continue to accrue benefits. The plan in the Philippines, which is open to new participants, was not included for the year ended December 31, 2018. These plans are considered direct obligations of the Company and have been recorded within the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not have any other post-retirement employee benefit plans other than the plans mentioned above and the non-qualified supplemental retirement plan discussed below. Non-U.S. Defined Benefit Pension Plans Obligations and Funded Status The following tables summarize the balance sheet impact, including the benefit obligations, assets, and funded status associated with the Company's four defined benefit plans for non-U.S. participants at December 31, 2020 and 2019. December 31, (in millions) 2020 2019 Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 64.1 $ 53.7 Service cost 0.3 0.3 Interest cost 1.2 1.5 Benefits paid (1.7) (2.0) Actuarial loss (1) 8.3 7.7 Settlements and curtailments (0.2) — Currency translation and other 2.5 2.9 Benefit obligation at end of year 74.5 64.1 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year 58.2 47.8 Actual return on plan assets 5.8 6.5 Company contributions 1.5 3.4 Benefits paid (1.7) (2.0) Settlements and curtailments (0.2) — Currency translation and other 2.1 2.5 Fair value of plan assets at end of year 65.7 58.2 Funded status $ (8.8) $ (5.9) Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of: Other assets and deferred charges $ — $ 0.8 Other liabilities (8.8) (6.7) Funded status $ (8.8) $ (5.9) Accumulated other comprehensive loss: Net actuarial losses $ 25.6 $ 21.2 Prior service cost 1.1 1.2 Deferred taxes (4.8) (3.8) Total accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax 21.9 18.6 Accumulated benefit obligation $ 73.3 $ 62.9 (1) The net actuarial losses during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 primarily related to decreases in the discount rates for the U.K. plans. Pension plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets consisted of the following at December 31, 2020 and 2019: December 31, (in millions) 2020 2019 Projected benefit obligation $ 74.5 $ 39.6 Fair value of plan assets 65.7 32.9 Pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets consisted of the following at December 31, 2020 and 2019: December 31, (in millions) 2020 2019 Accumulated benefit obligation $ 43.0 $ 37.1 Fair value of plan assets 34.8 31.0 Net Periodic Benefit Cost (Income) Components of the net periodic benefit cost (income) were as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in millions) 2020 2019 2018 Service cost $ 0.3 $ 0.3 $ 0.4 Interest cost 1.2 1.5 1.3 Expected return on plan assets (2.4) (2.4) (2.8) Amortization of prior service cost 0.1 0.1 — Amortization of recognized actuarial loss 0.5 0.4 0.5 Other (1) — 0.1 1.3 Total net periodic benefit cost (income) $ (0.3) $ — $ 0.7 (1) The Company recorded an adjustment related to pre-spin-off pension obligations during the year ended December 31, 2018. The components of net periodic benefit cost (income) other than service cost are presented in the Other expense, net line on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The service cost component is presented within the Cost of goods sold, Research and development expenses, and Selling and administrative expenses lines on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings based on the nature of services performed by the related employees. Assumptions The Company determines actuarial assumptions on an annual basis. The actuarial assumptions used for the Company’s four defined benefit plans for non-U.S. participants will vary depending on the applicable country and as such, the tables below include these assumptions by country, as well as in total. The assumptions used in determining the benefit obligations were as follows: December 31, 2020 2019 Discount rate Philippines 4.00 % 5.00 % Taiwan 0.25 % 0.75 % United Kingdom 1.28 % 2.00 % Weighted-average 1.27 % 1.97 % Average wage increase Philippines 4.00 % 5.00 % Taiwan 4.00 % 4.00 % United Kingdom 4.20 % 4.25 % Weighted-average 4.18 % 4.24 % The assumptions used in determining the net periodic benefit cost (income) were as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Discount rate Philippines 5.00 % 8.25 % — Taiwan 0.75 % 1.25 % 1.25 % United Kingdom 2.00 % 2.80 % 2.44 % Weighted-average 1.97 % 2.78 % 2.40 % Average wage increase Philippines 5.00 % 6.00 % — Taiwan 4.00 % 4.25 % 4.00 % United Kingdom 4.25 % 4.40 % 4.50 % Weighted-average 4.24 % 4.41 % 4.46 % Expected return on plan assets Taiwan 3.75 % 2.00 % 1.50 % United Kingdom 4.35 % 4.82 % 5.75 % Weighted-average 4.33 % 4.72 % 5.64 % The Company’s discount rate assumption is determined by developing a yield curve based on high quality corporate bonds with maturities matching the plans’ expected benefit payment streams. The plans’ expected cash flows are then discounted by the resulting year-by-year spot rates. Plan Assets The primary financial objective of the plans is to secure participant retirement benefits. Accordingly, the key objective in the plans’ financial management is to promote stability and, to the extent appropriate, growth in the funded status. Related and supporting financial objectives are established in conjunction with a review of current and projected plan financial requirements. As it relates to the funded defined benefit pension plans, the Company’s funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of applicable local non-U.S. laws. The Company is responsible for overseeing the management of the investments of the plans’ assets and otherwise ensuring that the plans’ investment programs are in compliance with applicable local law, other relevant legislation, and related plan documents. Where relevant, the Company has retained professional investment managers to manage the plans’ assets and implement the investment process. The investment managers, in implementing their investment processes, have the authority and responsibility to select appropriate investments in the asset classes specified by the terms of their applicable prospectus or investment manager agreements with the plans. The assets of the plans are invested to achieve an appropriate return for the plans consistent with a prudent level of risk. The asset return objective is to achieve, as a minimum over time, the passively managed return earned by market index funds, weighted in the proportions outlined by the asset class exposures identified in the plans’ strategic allocation. The expected return on assets assumption used for pension expense is developed through analysis of historical market returns, statistical analysis, current market conditions, and the past experience of plan asset investments. Fair Value Measurements The fair values of plan assets by asset category within the ASC 820 hierarchy were as follows at December 31, 2020 and 2019: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fair Value Asset category: Fixed income investments $ 3.4 $ 24.9 $ — $ 28.3 $ 2.4 $ 21.9 $ — $ 24.3 Common stock funds — 18.9 — 18.9 — 17.7 — 17.7 Real estate funds — 5.0 — 5.0 — 4.0 — 4.0 Cash and equivalents 0.3 — — 0.3 0.4 0.8 — 1.2 Other 7.9 5.3 — 13.2 6.7 4.3 — 11.0 Total $ 11.6 $ 54.1 $ — $ 65.7 $ 9.5 $ 48.7 $ — $ 58.2 See Note 11. Hedging Transactions and Derivative Instruments for additional information on the fair value hierarchy. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 assets during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Fixed income investments include government and municipal securities and corporate bonds, which are valued based on yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. Common stock funds consist of mutual funds and collective trusts. Mutual funds are valued by obtaining quoted prices from nationally recognized securities exchanges. Collective trusts are valued using Net Asset Value (the "NAV") as of the last business day of the year. The NAV is based on the underlying value of the assets owned by the fund minus its liabilities and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The value of the underlying assets is based on quoted prices in active markets. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. Future Estimates Benefit Payments Estimated future benefit payments to retirees, which reflect expected future service, are as follows: (in millions) 2021 $ 2.0 2022 1.9 2023 1.8 2024 2.1 2025 2.6 2026-2030 13.6 Contributions Generally, annual contributions are made at such times and in such amounts as required by law and agreed with the trustees of the non-U.S. defined benefit plans. The Company estimates it will pay $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 related to contributions to these plans. This amount may vary based on updated funding agreements with the Trustees of these plans. Non-qualified Supplemental Retirement Plan Knowles provides to certain management employees, through non-qualified plans, supplemental retirement benefits in excess of qualified plan limits imposed by federal tax law. Effective December 31, 2013, the Company's participants no longer accrue benefits.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting | Background - Knowles Corporation (NYSE:KN) is a market leader and global provider of advanced micro-acoustic, audio processing, and precision device solutions, serving the mobile consumer electronics, communications, medtech, defense, electric vehicle, and industrial markets. The Company uses its leading position in micro-electro-mechanical systems ("MEMS") microphones and strong capabilities in audio processing technologies to optimize audio systems and improve the user experience in mobile, ear, and Internet of Things ("IoT") applications. Knowles is also a leader in acoustic components, high-end capacitors, and mmWave radio frequency ("RF") solutions for a diverse set of markets. The Company's focus on the customer, combined with its unique technology, proprietary manufacturing techniques, rigorous testing, and global scale, enable the Company to deliver innovative solutions that optimize the user experience. References to "Knowles," "the Company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Knowles Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. On February 24, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100 million of the Company's common stock. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors, and will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws in either the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The actual timing, number, and share price of shares repurchased will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, and applicable legal requirements. Any shares repurchased will be held as treasury stock. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 1,078,363 shares of common stock for a total of $16.2 million. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company temporarily suspended share repurchases, but resumed the share repurchase program in the fourth quarter of 2020. On December 20, 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the MEMS Microphone Application-specific integrated circuit Design Business (“ASIC Design Business”). See Note 3. Acquisitions for additional information related to the transaction. On January 3, 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of DITF Interconnect Technology, Inc. ("DITF"), a thin film components manufacturer. See Note 3. Acquisitions for additional information related to the transaction. On January 19, 2018, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Compex Corporation ("Compex"), a capacitors manufacturer. See Note 3. Acquisitions for additional information related to the transaction. On November 28, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its high-end oscillators business ("Timing Device Business"). On July 7, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its speaker and receiver product line (“Speaker and Receiver Product Line”). In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, the results of operations and related assets and liabilities for the Timing Device Business and Speaker and Receiver Product Line have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2. Disposed and Discontinued Operations for additional information related to the transactions. Financial Statement Presentation - The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. These estimates may be adjusted due to changes in future economic, industry, or customer financial conditions, as well as changes in technology or demand. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, inventory reserves, restructuring reserves, warranty reserves, pension and post-retirement plans, stock-based compensation, useful lives for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, uncertain income tax positions, changes in tax laws, and contingencies. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates, including considerations for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the macroeconomic environment. The situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be complex and rapidly evolving. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic or fully ascertain its impact on the Company’s future results and market capitalization, which could adversely impact estimates such as the recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets and the realizability of deferred tax assets. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not believe such differences would materially affect the financial statements in any individual year. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period that they are determined. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and temporary cash investments with original maturities less than three months. |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – The Company maintains allowances for estimated losses as a result of customers' inability to make required payments. Management evaluates the aging of the accounts receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends, relevant forecasts, and the time outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision. |
Inventories | Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. The value of inventory may decline as a result of surplus inventory, price reductions, or technological obsolescence. It is the Company’s policy to carry reserves against the carrying value of inventory when items have no future demand (obsolete inventory) and additionally, where inventory items on hand have demand, yet have insufficient forecasted activity to consume the entire stock within a reasonable period. It is the Company’s policy to carry reserves against the carrying value of such at-risk inventory items after considering the nature of the risk and any mitigating factors. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant, and Equipment - Property, plant, and equipment includes the historic cost of land, buildings, equipment, and significant improvements to existing plant and equipment or, in the case of acquisitions, a fair market value appraisal of such assets completed at the time of acquisition. Property, plant, and equipment also includes the cost of purchased software. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the respective accounts, and the gain or loss realized on disposition is reflected in earnings. The Company historically depreciates its assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: buildings and improvements 5 to 31.5 years; machinery and equipment 1.5 to 7 years; furniture and fixtures 2 to 5 years; vehicles 3 to 5 years; and software 3 to 5 years. |
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block] | Leases - The Company adopted ASC 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019 under the prospective transition method that did not require comparative period financial statements to be adjusted. Periods prior to January 1, 2019 have been presented in accordance with prior guidance (ASC 840). The Company elected the transition package of practical expedients for leases that commenced before the adoption date, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward historical lease classifications. Finance leases were not impacted by the adoption of ASC 842 as finance lease liabilities and right-of-use assets were recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for periods prior to January 1, 2019 under ASC 840. The standard did not materially impact the Consolidated Statements of Earnings or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company includes options to extend or terminate a lease within the lease term when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease while right-of-use assets represent a right to use an underlying asset during the lease term. Right-of-use assets include prepaid fixed lease payments and exclude lease incentives. As the Company's leases do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on information available at the lease commencement date. |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments - The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposures to various risks, including interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes and does not have a material portfolio of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes must be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at inception of the contract. The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives is recorded as a component of other comprehensive earnings and subsequently recognized in net earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - Goodwill represents the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and certain other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives (primarily trademarks) are not amortized. Instead, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if there are events or circumstances indicating the carrying value of individual reporting units or assets may exceed their respective fair values on a more likely than not basis. The Company performs its annual impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of each year on October 1. Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level. The Company has three reporting units. The goodwill balances associated with the Mobile Consumer Electronics ("MCE"), Hearing Health Technologies ("HHT"), and Capacitors reporting units were $741.0 million, $137.8 million, and $31.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. The impairment assessment compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model that includes the Company’s market participant assumptions, forecasted future cash flows based on historical performance and future estimated results, determinations of appropriate discount rates, and other assumptions which are considered reasonable and inherent in the discounted cash flow analysis. Significant assumptions used in the assessment include forecasted revenue and terminal growth rates, profit margins, income taxes, and the Company's weighted average cost of capital. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from estimated amounts. The fair value of all of the Company’s reporting units exceeded the carrying values by at least 25%, resulting in no goodwill impairment charges. Potential circumstances that could have a negative effect on the fair value of our reporting units include, but are not limited to, lower than forecasted growth rates or profit margins and changes in the weighted average cost of capital. A reduction in the estimated fair value of the reporting units could trigger an impairment in the future. The Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets. In testing its indefinite-lived trademarks for impairment, the Company uses a relief from royalty method to calculate and compare the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying value. This method estimates the fair value of trademarks by calculating the present value of royalty income that could hypothetically be earned by licensing the trademark to a third party. Any excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. No impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles was indicated for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, or 2018. See Note 7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for additional information on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Other Intangible and Long-Lived Assets - Other intangible assets with determinable lives consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, patents, and trademarks and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, typically ranging from 5 to 10 years. The Company relies on patents and proprietary technology, and seeks patent protection for products and production methods. The Company capitalizes external legal costs incurred in the defense of its patents when it believes that a significant, discernible increase in value will result from the defense and a successful outcome of the legal action is probable. These costs are amortized over the remaining estimated useful life of the patent, which is typically 7 to 10 years. The Company’s assessment of future economic benefit and/or the successful outcome of legal action related to patent defense involves considerable management judgment and a different outcome could result in material write-offs of the carrying value of these assets. The Company capitalized no legal costs related to the defense of its patents during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-lived assets and intangible assets with determinable lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an indicator of impairment exists for any grouping of assets, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows is produced and compared to its carrying value. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value as determined by an estimate of discounted future cash flows. The Company recorded impairment charges of $7.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no impairments recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. See Note 4. Impairments for additional details. |
Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency - Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Revenue and expense items are translated using weighted-average yearly exchange rates. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Assets and liabilities of an entity that are denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are re-measured into the functional currency using end of period exchange rates or historical rates where applicable to certain balances. Gains and losses related to these re-measurements are recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a component of Other expense, net. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated through the manufacture and sale of a broad range of specialized products and components. For product and component sales, each good sold to a customer typically represents a distinct performance obligation. The Company’s performance obligation to provide goods to a customer is typically satisfied at a point in time upon completion of the shipping process as indicated by the terms of the contract, at which point control is transferred to the customer and revenue is recognized. The Company has no significant arrangements with multiple performance obligations. Remaining performance obligations consist of the aggregate amount of the total transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially satisfied. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, our total remaining performance obligations were immaterial. The Company recognizes sales-based royalty revenue under third-party license agreements as the related sales are made by licensees. The terms of a contract or historical business practice can give rise to variable consideration, including customer discounts, rebates, and returns. The Company estimates variable consideration using either the expected value or most likely amount method. We include amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur in a subsequent reporting period. Our estimates of variable consideration are based on all reasonably available information (historical, current, and forecasted). Rebates are recognized over the contract period based on expected revenue levels. Sales discounts and rebates totaled $4.2 million, $4.7 million, and $8.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Returns and allowances totaled $5.4 million, $6.6 million, and $7.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related good transfers to the customer as fulfillment activities rather than evaluating such activities as performance obligations. As a result, all shipping and handling costs related to contracts with customers are recognized in the Cost of goods sold line on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Additionally, the Company applies the practical expedient allowing incremental costs of obtaining a contract to be expensed as incurred if the amortization period of the resulting asset would have been less than one year. These costs primarily consist of sales commissions and the Company has no such significant costs exceeding the one year limit for applying the practical expedient. Receivables, net from contracts with customers were $123.8 million and $152.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See Note 18. Segment Information for disclosures regarding the disaggregation of revenues. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation – The principal awards issued under the stock-based compensation plans include stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance share units ("PSUs"). The cost for such awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is expected to ultimately vest is generally recognized as expense on a straight-line basis, generally over the explicit service period and is included in Cost of goods sold, Research and development expenses, and Selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, depending on the functional area of the underlying employees. The cost related to PSUs is recognized based on the expected attainment of performance targets. Changes in estimates that impact the number of shares expected to vest are recognized prospectively through cumulative adjustments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted to employees. The fair value of each RSU granted is equal to the share price at the date of the grant. The fair value of each PSU is determined using a binomial model simulation. At the time of grant, the Company estimates forfeitures, based on historical experience, in order to estimate the portion of the award that will ultimately vest. See Note 14. Equity Incentive Program for additional information related to the Company’s stock-based compensation. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes - The Company records a provision for income taxes for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The Company offsets and presents deferred tax liabilities and assets, as well as any related valuation allowance, as a single non-current amount on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a jurisdictional basis. The Company's policy is to release income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive loss in the period the underlying item expires. The Company establishes valuation allowances for its deferred tax assets if, based on all available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such assessments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. The assessment of the need for a valuation allowance requires considerable judgment on the part of management with respect to the benefits that could be realized from future taxable income, as well as other positive and negative factors. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it believes that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Adjustments are made to these reserves when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material impact on the Company's financial condition and operating results. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any reserves that are believed to be appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. bill commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform Act") was enacted, which significantly changed U.S. tax law. Since enactment of the Tax Reform Act, the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury Department have issued and are expected to issue further interpretive guidance that impacts taxpayers. The Company will continue to evaluate such guidance as it is issued and will recognize any resulting impact in the period the related regulations are enacted. |
Research and development expense | Research and Development Costs – Research and development costs, including qualifying engineering costs, are expensed when incurred. |
Deferred Charges, Policy | Other Assets and Deferred Charges - Other assets and deferred charges at December 31, 2020 includes $2.5 million of investments in mutual funds carried at fair value based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The Company classifies these investments within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Gains and losses related to the investments are recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a component of Other expense, net. Other assets and deferred charges also include non-current deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block] | Leases - The Company adopted ASC 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019 under the prospective transition method that did not require comparative period financial statements to be adjusted. Periods prior to January 1, 2019 have been presented in accordance with prior guidance (ASC 840). The Company elected the transition package of practical expedients for leases that commenced before the adoption date, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward historical lease classifications. Finance leases were not impacted by the adoption of ASC 842 as finance lease liabilities and right-of-use assets were recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for periods prior to January 1, 2019 under ASC 840. The standard did not materially impact the Consolidated Statements of Earnings or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company includes options to extend or terminate a lease within the lease term when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease while right-of-use assets represent a right to use an underlying asset during the lease term. Right-of-use assets include prepaid fixed lease payments and exclude lease incentives. As the Company's leases do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of fixed lease payments based on information available at the lease commencement date. |

Details of Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Held and Used by Asset | The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company vacated its leased facility in Mountain View, California during the third quarter of 2020, resulting in its classification as a separate asset group. This facility was previously used by the Intelligent Audio product line, which is included within the Audio segment. Based on an assessment of market conditions, in particular the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that the carrying amount of the related operating lease right-of-use asset was not recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows, which included estimated sublease proceeds. The fair value of the operating lease right-of-use asset was determined by an estimate of discounted future cash flows that included estimated sublease proceeds and the determination of an appropriate discount rate based on market participant assumptions. The fair value measurements of operating lease right-of-use assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Based on the excess of the carrying amount of the operating lease right-of-use asset over its fair value, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $5.4 million within Impairment charges in Operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no impairments recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Leases not yet Commenced - As of December 31, 2020, the Company has an operating lease for a research and development facility in Santa Clara, California that has not yet commenced with total fixed lease payments of approximately $5 million. The lease is expected to commence in fiscal 2021 with a lease term of approximately five years. The Company plans to sublet a significant portion of the facility due to the restructuring of the Intelligent Audio product line. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company determined a loss was probable and reasonably estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies, based on its plans and the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on market conditions. The estimated loss was determined by comparing the estimated carrying amount of the operating lease right-of-use asset to be recognized for the sublet portion of the facility upon lease commencement to an estimate of discounted future cash flows that included estimated sublease proceeds and the determination of an appropriate discount rate based on market participant assumptions. These measurements are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. The Company recorded an estimated loss of $2.2 million within Impairment charges in Operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2020. The corresponding estimated liability, which will reduce the operating lease right-of-use asset upon lease commencement, is recorded in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020. If actual results differ from estimated amounts, additional impairment charges may be recorded in the future. |

Restructuring and Related Activities Restructuring and related activities are designed to better align the Company's operations with current market conditions through targeted facility consolidations, headcount reductions, and other measures to further optimize operations. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company restructured its Intelligent Audio product line, which is included within the Audio segment. These actions resulted in a reduction in workforce and the refocusing of certain research and development activities. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $8.3 million related to these actions, including $5.4 million in severance pay and benefits, $1.7 million in fixed asset write-off costs, and $1.2 million in contract termination costs. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $4.0 million for severance pay and benefits primarily to rationalize the remaining Audio segment workforce as a direct result of the lower demand the Company experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Schedule of Cash Flow Hedging Instruments, Statements of Financial Performance | 11. Hedging Transactions and Derivative Instruments The Company is affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company’s financial performance and are referred to as "market risks." The Company uses derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks, which are primarily foreign currency risk and interest rate risk related to ongoing business operations. Cash Flow Hedging The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets, liabilities, or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or market interest rates. These derivatives, which are designated cash flow hedges, are carried at fair value. The changes in their fair values are recorded to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) ("AOCI") and reclassified in current earnings when the hedge contract matures or becomes ineffective. To manage its exposure to foreign currency exchange rates, the Company has entered into currency deliverable forward contracts. These derivative instruments allow the Company to hedge portions of its forecasted intercompany sales, which are expected to occur within the next twelve months and are denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company maintains a foreign currency cash flow hedging program primarily to reduce the risk that the net U.S. dollar cash inflows from non-U.S. dollar sales and non-U.S. dollar net cash outflows from procurement activities will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the notional value of the derivatives related to currency forward contracts, principally the Chinese yuan, Malaysian ringgit, and Philippine peso, was $69.0 million and $61.1 million, respectively. The Company presents the impact of foreign exchange contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges within the Cost of goods sold line on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, which is the same line used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. To manage its exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates, the Company entered into an interest rate swap on November 12, 2014 to convert variable interest rate payments into a fixed rate on a notional amount of $100.0 million of debt for monthly interest payments that began in January 2016. The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge with re-measurement gains and losses recorded through AOCI. In December 2017, the Company entered into a partial termination of the interest rate swap and reduced the notional amount to $50.0 million. The interest rate swap ended in July 2018. Economic (Non-Designated) Hedging In addition to derivative instruments that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also uses certain derivatives as economic hedges of foreign currency risk. Although these derivatives were not designated and/or did not qualify for hedge accounting, they are effectively economic hedges. The changes in fair value of these economic hedges are immediately recognized in earnings. The Company uses foreign currency economic hedges to offset the earnings impact that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have on certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. The Company does not enter into these hedges for speculative reasons. These derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in fair value immediately recognized in earnings within Other expense, net. In addition, these derivative instruments minimize the impact of exchange rate movements on the Company’s balance sheet, as the gains or losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses from the reduction of the hedged assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the notional value of the derivatives related to economic hedging was $77.1 million and $41.8 million, respectively. The notional amounts of the derivative financial instruments do not necessarily represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a direct measure of our exposure to the financial risks described above. The amounts exchanged are calculated by reference to the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or other financial indices. The Company does not view the fair values of its derivatives in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair values or cash flows of the underlying hedged transactions or other exposures. Virtually all of our derivatives are straightforward over-the-counter instruments with liquid markets. Fair Value Measurements All derivatives are carried at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company determines the fair values of its derivatives based on standard valuation models or observable market inputs such as quoted market prices, foreign currency exchange rates, or interest rates; therefore, the Company classifies the derivatives within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair values of derivative instruments held by the Company are as follows (in millions): Derivative Assets (Liabilities) Hedge Type Contract Type Balance Sheet Line December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Cash flow hedges Foreign exchange contracts Prepaid and other current assets $ 2.1 $ 0.9 Cash flow hedges Foreign exchange contracts Other accrued expenses — (0.2) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Economic hedges Foreign exchange contracts Prepaid and other current assets 0.4 0.5 Economic hedges Foreign exchange contracts Other accrued expenses — (0.1) The pre-tax amount of unrealized gain (loss) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on derivatives designated as hedging instruments is as follows (in millions): Years Ended December 31, Hedge Type Contract Type 2020 2019 2018 Cash flow hedges Foreign exchange contracts $ 2.6 $ 0.2 $ (2.5) Cash flow hedges Interest rate contracts — — 0.1 The table above excludes tax expense of $0.6 million and a tax benefit of $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2018, respectively.

Schedule of Long-term Debt Instruments | Borrowings (net of debt issuance costs, debt discount, and amortization) consist of the following: (in millions) December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 3.25% convertible senior notes $ 165.1 $ 156.8 Revolving credit facility — — Total 165.1 156.8 Less current maturities 165.1 — Total long-term debt $ — $ 156.8 Total debt principal payments over the next five years are as follows: (in millions) 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Debt principal payments $ 172.5 $ — $ — $ — $ — |
Convertible Debt | 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due November 1, 2021 In May 2016, the Company issued $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% convertible senior notes due November 1, 2021 (the "Notes"), unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted pursuant to their terms. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 each year and commenced on November 1, 2016. The Notes are governed by an Indenture (the "Indenture") between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association as trustee. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's election. The Company’s current intent is to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash at maturity. The initial conversion rate is 54.2741 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The initial conversion price is $18.4250 per share of common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), the Company may be required, in certain circumstances, to increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 1, 2021, the Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: = during any calendar quarter and only during such calendar quarters, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; = during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or = upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after August 1, 2021 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances. A s of December 31, 2020, no event has occurred that would permit the conversion of the Notes. The Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations. In accounting for the issuance of the Notes, the Company separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Notes as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. In accounting for the transaction costs related to the Notes issuance, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component, totaling $5.0 million, are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes, and issuance costs attributable to the equity component, totaling $1.3 million, were netted with the equity component in stockholders' equity. The Notes consist of the following: (in millions) December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Liability component: Principal $ 172.5 $ 172.5 Less debt issuance costs and debt discount, net of amortization (7.4) (15.7) Total 165.1 156.8 Less current maturities (1) 165.1 — Long-term portion $ — $ 156.8 Equity component (2) $ 29.9 $ 29.9 (1) There are no required principal payments due until maturity in November 2021. (2) Recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within additional paid-in capital, inclusive of the $1.3 million of issuance costs in equity. The total estimated fair value of the Notes at December 31, 2020 was $196.5 million. The fair value was determined based on the closing trading price of the Notes as of the last trading day of 2020. The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the Notes: Years Ended December 31, (in millions) 2020 2019 2018 3.25% coupon $ 5.6 $ 5.6 $ 5.6 Amortization of debt issuance costs 0.9 0.9 0.9 Amortization of debt discount 7.4 6.8 6.3 Total $ 13.9 $ 13.3 $ 12.8 Note Hedges To minimize the impact of potential economic dilution upon conversion of the Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions (the “Note Hedges”) with respect to its common stock. In the second quarter of 2016, the Company paid an aggregate amount of $44.5 million for the Note Hedges. The Note Hedges will expire upon maturity of the Notes. The Note Hedges are intended to offset the potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market value per share of the Company's common stock, as measured under the Note Hedges, is greater than the strike price of the Note Hedges, which initially corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Notes. The Note Hedges are separate transactions entered into by the Company, and are not part of the Notes or the Warrants, and have been accounted for as part of additional paid-in capital. Holders of the Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Note Hedges. Warrants In addition to the Note Hedges, in the second quarter of 2016, the Company entered into warrant transactions, whereby the Company sold warrants to acquire shares of the Company's common stock at a strike price of $21.1050 per share (the “Warrants”). The Company received aggregate proceeds of $39.1 million from the sale of the Warrants. If the market price per share of the Company's common stock for the reporting period, as measured under the Warrants, exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, the Warrants could have a dilutive effect on the Company's common stock, unless the Company elects, subject to certain conditions, to settle the Warrants in cash. The Warrants are separate transactions entered into by the Company, and are not part of the Notes or the Note Hedges, and have been accounted for as part of additional paid-in capital. Holders of the Notes and Note Hedges do not have any rights with respect to the Warrants. |
Schedule of Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilities | Revolving Credit Facility There were no revolving credit facility borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. On September 4, 2020, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement (the "New Credit Agreement"). The New Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") with borrowings in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $400.0 million. Up to $100.0 million of the New Credit Facility will be available in Euro, Pounds Sterling, and other currencies requested by the Company and agreed to by each Lender and up to $50.0 million of the New Credit Facility will be made available in the form of letters of credit denominated in currencies approved by the issuing banks. The New Credit Agreement serves as refinancing of indebtedness and terminates the Company's Revolving Credit Facility Agreement dated as of October 11, 2017 ("Prior Credit Facility"). The Prior Credit Facility consisted of a $400.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. At any time during the term of the New Credit Facility, the Company will be permitted to increase the commitments under the New Credit Facility or to establish one or more incremental term loan facilities under the New Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200.0 million for all such incremental facilities. Commitments under the New Credit Facility will terminate, and loans outstanding thereunder will mature, on January 2, 2024; provided, that if all the Notes have not been repaid, refinanced, and/or converted to common stock of the Company by August 2, 2021 (the "Springing Maturity Test Date"), then the commitments under the New Credit Facility will terminate, and the loans outstanding thereunder will mature, on such earlier date unless, from and after the Springing Maturity Test Date and for so long as the Notes have not been repaid, refinanced, and/or converted to common stock of the Company, the Company does not maintain liquidity (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) for any period of three consecutive business days of $150.0 million or more. The New Credit Agreement includes requirements, to be tested quarterly, that the Company maintains (i) a minimum ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.25 to 1.0, (the "Interest Coverage Ratio"), (ii) a maximum ratio of Consolidated total indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA of 3.75 to 1.0 (the "Total Leverage Ratio"), and (iii) a maximum ratio of senior secured indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA of 3.25 to 1.0 (the "Senior Secured Leverage Ratio"). For these ratios, Consolidated EBITDA and consolidated interest expense are calculated using the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters in a manner defined in the New Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with these covenants and it expects to remain in compliance with all of its debt covenants over the next twelve months. The interest rates under the New Credit Facility will be, at the Borrowers' option (1) LIBOR (or, in the case of borrowings under the New Credit Facility denominated in Euro, EURIBOR) plus the rates per annum determined from time to time based on the total leverage ratio of the Company as of the end of and for the most recent period of four fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered (the "Applicable Margin"); or (2) in the case of borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars, alternate base rate ("ABR") (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin for LIBOR could range from 1.50% to 2.50% while the Applicable Margin for ABR could range from 0.50% to 1.50%. The interest rate under the New Credit Facility is variable based on LIBOR at the time of the borrowing and the Applicable Margin. In addition, a commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the New Credit Facility at a rate of 0.225% to 0.375%. |

Schedule of Unrecognized Tax Benefits Roll Forward | Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company records interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded no potential interest benefit or expense. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a potential interest benefit of $0.3 million. There was no accrued interest at December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. There was no recorded potential penalty expense during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Stock Option s and SSARs The fair value of stock options granted by the Company was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the assumptions shown in the table below. 2020 2019 2018 Risk-free interest rate 0.11% to 1.42% 1.55% to 2.44% 2.59% Dividend yield —% —% —% Expected life (years) 4.3 to 4.5 4.5 4.5 Volatility 38.8% to 40.6% 40.0% to 42.9% 41.2% Fair value at date of grant $4.78 to $5.95 $6.22 to $7.45 $4.83 to $6.59 Expected volatilities for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. Prior to the year ended December 31, 2019, the determination of expected volatility was based on a blended peer group volatility for companies in similar industries, stage of life, and with similar market capitalization since there was not sufficient historical volatility data for Knowles common stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of its stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock options. The expected term is the period over which our employees are expected to hold their options. It is based on the simplified method from the SEC’s safe harbor guidelines. The Company does not currently anticipate paying dividends over the expected term. The exercise price per share for the stock options granted by the Company was equal to the closing price of Knowles' stock on the NYSE on the date of the grant. The period during which options granted by the Company were exercisable was fixed by Knowles' Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of grant. Generally, stock options vest one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date and expire 7 years from the grant date. The following table summarizes the Company's SSAR and stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2020. SSARs Stock Options Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) (in millions, except share and per share amounts) Outstanding at December 31, 2019 596,537 $ 22.72 5,377,148 $ 17.51 Granted — — 896,875 16.75 Exercised — — (141,336) 12.73 Forfeited — — (173,680) 16.49 Expired — — (193,104) 20.53 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 596,537 $ 22.72 $ — 1.3 5,765,903 $ 17.44 $ 15.6 3.0 Exercisable at December 31, 2020 596,537 $ 22.72 $ — 1.3 4,245,893 $ 17.86 $ 12.3 2.0 The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the Company's closing stock price on December 31, 2020 and the exercise price of each SSAR and stock option, multiplied by the number of in-the-money awards. There was no unrecognized compensation expense related to SSARs at December 31, 2020. Unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options not yet exercisable at December 31, 2020 was $4.7 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. Other information regarding the exercise of SSARs and stock options is listed below: Years Ended December 31, (in millions) 2020 2019 2018 SSARs Fair value of SSARs that are exercisable $ 1.5 $ 1.5 $ 1.8 Aggregate intrinsic value of SSARs exercised — 0.4 0.1 Stock Options Cash received by Knowles for exercise of stock options 1.8 9.8 0.5 Aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised 0.4 2.7 0.2 RSUs The following table summarizes the Company's RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2020: Share units Weighted-average grant date fair value Unvested at December 31, 2019 2,261,114 $ 15.99 Granted 1,446,233 16.48 Vested (1) (1,058,356) 16.30 Forfeited (739,205) 16.22 Unvested at December 31, 2020 1,909,786 $ 16.14 (1) The number of RSUs vested includes shares that the Company withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements. RSUs generally vest based on the passage of time. RSUs have a three year vesting schedule and vest one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. The fair value of RSUs vested during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $17.3 million. At December 31, 2020, $16.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. PSUs The Company grants PSUs to senior management. In each case, the awards will cliff vest three years following the grant date. For the awards granted in February 2018 and 2017, the number of PSUs that may be earned and vest is based on the Company's revenues and stock price performance over a three year performance period. For the awards granted in February 2019, the number of PSUs that may be earned and vest is based on the Company's revenues and total shareholder return relative to the S&P Semiconductor Select Industry Index over a three year performance period. For the awards granted in February 2020, the number of PSUs that may be earned and vest is based on total shareholder return relative to the S&P Semiconductor Select Industry Index over a three year performance period. PSUs will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock. Depending on the Company's overall performance relative to the applicable performance metrics, the size of the PSU awards are subject to adjustment, up or down, resulting in awards at the end of the performance period that can range from 0% to 225% of the initial grant value. In February 2020, the awards granted in February 2017 were converted from 176,154 PSUs to 88,959 shares of stock based on achievement of performance metrics. The Company will ratably recognize the expense over the applicable service period for each grant of PSUs and adjust the expense as appropriate. The fair value of the PSUs is determined by using a Monte Carlo simulation. The following table summarizes the Company's PSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2020: Share units Weighted-average grant date fair value Unvested at December 31, 2019 844,789 $ 15.90 Granted 322,178 16.14 Vested (1) (184,405) 15.24 Forfeited (61,589) 17.05 Unvested at December 31, 2020 920,973 $ 16.04 (1) The number of PSUs vested includes shares that the Company withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements. The fair value of PSUs vested during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $2.8 million. At December 31, 2020, $3.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to PSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. |
