Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned and controlled entities. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The majority of our retail operations define a fiscal year (“Fiscal Year”) as the 52-week period or 53-week period ended on the Saturday nearest December 31st of each year and define fiscal quarters (“Fiscal Quarter”) as the four interim 13-week periods following the end of the previous Fiscal Year, except in the case of a 53-week Fiscal Year when the fourth Fiscal Quarter is extended to 14 weeks. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company combine the Fiscal Quarters of our retail operations with the calendar quarters of our wholesale operations. The Company has determined the differences between the retail operation’s Fiscal Year and Fiscal Quarters and the calendar year and calendar quarters to be insignificant. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. Our business is subject to substantial seasonal variations as our retail segment has historically realized a significant portion of its net sales, cash flows and net income in the fourth quarter of each year, principally due to its Halloween season sales in October and, to a lesser extent, other year-end holiday sales. We expect that this general pattern will continue. Our results of operations may also be affected by industry factors that may be specific to a particular period such as movement in and the general level of raw material costs. For further information see the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2018. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”. The pronouncement amends the existing hedge accounting model in order to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in their financial statements. The update is effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2019. Although the Company continues to evaluate this pronouncement, it does not believe that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash”. The pronouncement requires companies to show changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the pronouncement, which requires retrospective application, during the first quarter of 2018. The impact of such adoption was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 15 for further discussion. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The pronouncement clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the pronouncement during the first quarter of 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. The ASU requires that companies recognize on their balance sheets assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by the companies’ leases. The update is effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2019. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The update impacts the accounting for equity investments and the recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. The Company adopted the pronouncement during the first quarter of 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The pronouncement contains a five-step model which replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard was effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2018. The pronouncement can be applied retrospectively to prior reporting periods or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company decided to adopt the pronouncement using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, on January 1, 2018, the Company adjusted its accounting for certain discounts which are tied to the timing of payments by customers of its wholesale business and the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment which reduced retained earnings by $46. Additionally, as of such date, the Company modified its accounting for certain metallic balloon sales of its wholesale segment and started to defer the recognition of revenue on such sales, and the related costs, until the balloons have been filled with helium. As a result, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment which increased retained earnings by $8. Finally, as of such date, the Company adjusted its accounting for certain discounts on wholesale sales of seasonal product and the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment which reduced retained earnings by $40. See Note 14 for further discussion of the adoption of the pronouncement and the Company’s revenue recognition policy. |

Inventories | Note 3 – Inventories Inventories consisted of the following: March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Finished goods $ 576,244 $ 562,809 Raw materials 31,504 30,346 Work in process 12,955 10,911 $ 620,703 $ 604,066 Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company principally determines the cost of inventory using the weighted average method. The Company estimates retail inventory shrinkage for the period between physical inventory dates on a store-by-store basis. Inventory shrinkage estimates can be affected by changes in merchandise mix and changes in actual shortage trends. The shrinkage rate from the most recent physical inventory, in combination with historical experience, is the basis for estimating shrinkage. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Note 4 – Income Taxes On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“the Act”) was signed into law. The Act significantly changed U.S. tax law, including lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, and implementing a one-time “deemed repatriation” tax on unremitted earnings accumulated in non-U.S. jurisdictions since 1986 (the “Transition Tax”). Due to the complexities of accounting for the Act, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 118 which allows entities to include a provisional estimate of the impact of the Act in its financial statements. Therefore, based on currently available information, during the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a provisional estimate of the impact of the Act, which included an income tax benefit of $90,965 related to the remeasurement of its domestic net deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets due to the lower U.S. corporate tax rate. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a net income tax expense of $1,132 as its provisional estimate of the Transition Tax related to the deemed repatriation of unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company did not adjust these estimates during the first quarter of 2018. While these amounts represent the Company’s best estimates of the impacts of the reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate and the deemed repatriation Transition Tax, the final impacts of the Act may differ from the Company’s estimates due to, among other things, changes in the Company’s interpretations and assumptions, additional guidance to be issued by the IRS, and actions the Company may take. As provided in SAB 118, any adjustments to these provisional amounts will be recorded as they are identified during the measurement period, which ends no later than December 22, 2018. Additionally, the Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to current tax on “global intangible low-taxed income” (“GILTI”) of its controlled foreign corporations. GILTI is based on the excess of the aggregate of a U.S. shareholder’s pro rata share of net income of its controlled foreign corporations over a specified return. Given the complexity of the GILTI provisions, the Company is still evaluating the effects of the provisions and has not yet determined its accounting policy. Therefore, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company has included an estimate of the tax on GILTI as a period cost in its full-year estimated effective income tax rate and it has not accounted for any tax on GILTI in its deferred balances. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018, 37.7%, is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to discrete items related to stock option exercises and state tax rate changes. |

Segment Information | Note 7 – Segment Information Industry Segments The Company has two identifiable business segments. The Wholesale segment designs, manufactures, sources and distributes party goods, including paper and plastic tableware, metallic and latex balloons, Halloween and other costumes, accessories, novelties, gifts and stationery throughout the world. The Retail segment operates specialty retail party supply stores in the United States and Canada, principally under the names Party City and Halloween City, and it operates e-commerce websites, principally through the domain name Partycity.com. The Retail segment also franchises both individual stores and franchise areas throughout the United States, Mexico and Puerto Rico, principally under the name Party City.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies The Company is a party to certain claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe these proceedings will result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on its financial condition or future results of operations. On April 5, 2016, a derivative complaint was filed in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, naming certain directors and executives as defendants, and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and costs, and corporate governance reforms, for alleged injury to the Company in connection with public filings related to the Company’s April 2015 IPO, compensation paid to executives, and the termination of the management agreement disclosed in the initial public offering-related public filings. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against this action. The Company is unable, at this time, to determine whether the outcome of the litigation would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments The Company is directly and indirectly 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, when deemed appropriate, uses derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed through the use of derivative financial instruments are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. Interest Rate Risk Management As part of the Company’s risk management strategy, the Company periodically uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability of cash flows on floating rate debt obligations. Accordingly, interest rate swap agreements are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the related gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in equity and recognized in interest expense over the same period in which the related interest payments being hedged are recognized in income. The Company did not utilize interest rate swap agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the three months ended March 31, 2017. Foreign Exchange Risk Management A portion of the Company’s cash flows are derived from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. In order to reduce the uncertainty of foreign exchange rate movements on transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including the British Pound Sterling, the Canadian Dollar, the Euro, the Malaysian Ringgit, the Australian Dollar, and the Mexican Peso, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts with major international financial institutions. These forward contracts, which typically mature within one year, are designed to hedge anticipated foreign currency transactions, primarily inventory purchases and sales. For contracts that qualify for hedge accounting, the terms of the foreign exchange contracts are such that cash flows from the contracts should be highly effective in offsetting the expected cash flows from the underlying forecasted transactions. The foreign currency exchange contracts are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had foreign currency exchange contracts that qualified for hedge accounting. No components of these agreements were excluded in the measurement of hedge effectiveness. As these hedges are 100% effective, there is no current impact on earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. The Company anticipates that substantially all unrealized gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these foreign currency exchange contracts will be reclassified into earnings by June 2019.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements The provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. During 2017, the Company acquired a 28% ownership interest in Punchbowl, Inc. (“Punchbowl”), a provider of digital greeting cards and digital invitations. At such time, the Company provided Punchbowl’s other investors with the ability to “put” their interest in Punchbowl to the Company at a future date. The Company is adjusting such put liability to fair value on a recurring basis. The liability represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as it is based on unobservable inputs. During 2017, the Company and Ampology, a subsidiary of Trivergence, reached an agreement to form a new legal entity, Kazzam, LLC (“Kazzam”), for the purpose of designing, developing and launching an online exchange platform for party-related services. As part of Ampology’s compensation for designing, developing and launching the exchange platform, Ampology received a 70% ownership interest in Kazzam. The 70% interest has been recorded as redeemable securities in the mezzanine of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as, in the future, Ampology has the right to cause the Company to purchase the interest. The mezzanine liability is adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis. The liability represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as it is based on unobservable inputs. The following table shows assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2018 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total as of March 31, 2018 Derivative assets $ — $ 80 $ — $ 80 Derivative liabilities — 407 — 407 Kazzam liability — — 3,590 3,590 Punchbowl put liability — — 171 171 The following table shows assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total as of December 31, 2017 Derivative assets $ — $ 95 $ — $ 95 Derivative liabilities — 99 — 99 Kazzam liability — — 3,590 3,590 Punchbowl put liability — — 2,122 2,122 The majority of the Company’s non-financial instruments, which include goodwill, intangible assets, inventories and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets), a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment. If the Company determines that the non-financial instrument is impaired, the Company would be required to write down the non-financial instrument to its fair value. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximated fair value at March 31, 2018 because of the short-term maturities of the instruments and/or their variable rates of interest. The carrying amounts and fair values of borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes as of March 31, 2018 are as follows: March 31, 2018 Carrying Amount Fair Value Term Loan Credit Agreement $ 1,194,526 $ 1,212,732 Senior Notes 345,574 356,500 The fair values of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes represent Level 2 fair value measurements as the debt instruments trade in inactive markets. The carrying amounts for other long-term debt approximated fair value at March 31, 2018 based on the discounted future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity. |

Earnings Per Share | Note 11 – Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares plus the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants as if they were exercised. A reconciliation between basic and diluted income per share is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Net loss attributable to Party City Holdco Inc. $ (1,133 ) $ (4,683 ) Weighted average shares - Basic 96,398,585 119,523,867 Effect of dilutive securities: Warrants — — Stock options — — Weighted average shares - Diluted 96,398,585 119,523,867 Net loss per common share - Basic $ (0.01 ) $ (0.04 ) Net loss per common share - Diluted $ (0.01 ) $ (0.04 ) During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, 4,275,789 stock options and 4,640,205 stock options, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of net income per common share – diluted as they were anti-dilutive. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, 596,000 warrants and 0 warrants, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of net income per common share – diluted as they were anti-dilutive. |

Long-Term Obligations | Note 12 – Long-Term Obligations Long-term obligations at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted of the following: March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Term Loan Credit Agreement $ 1,194,526 $ 1,196,505 Capital lease obligations 3,050 3,276 Senior Notes 345,574 345,368 Total long-term obligations 1,543,150 1,545,149 Less: current portion (12,931 ) (13,059 ) Long-term obligations, excluding current portion $ 1,530,219 $ 1,532,090 Term Loan Credit Agreement During February 2018, the Company amended its Term Loan Credit Agreement. At the time of the amendment, all outstanding term loans were replaced with new term loans for the same principal amount. The applicable margin for ABR borrowings was lowered from 2.00% to 1.75% and the applicable margin for LIBOR borrowings was lowered from 3.00% to 2.75%. Additionally, based on the terms of the amendment, the ABR and LIBOR margins will drop to 1.50% and 2.50%, respectively, if the Company’s Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, as defined by the agreement, falls below 3.2 to 1.0. The amendment provides that the term loans are subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium if voluntarily repaid within six months from the date of the amendment. Otherwise, the term loans may be voluntarily prepaid at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to loans based on the LIBOR rate. As the Term Loan Credit Agreement is a loan syndication, the Company assessed, on a creditor-by-creditor basis, whether the refinancing should be accounted for as an extinguishment for each creditor and the Company wrote-off $186 of existing deferred financing costs, a $102 capitalized original issue discount and $58 of capitalized call premium. The write-offs were recorded in other expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. The remaining deferred financing costs, original issue discount and capitalized call premium will continue to be amortized over the life of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, using the effective interest method. Additionally, in conjunction with the amendment, the Company incurred $856 of banker and legal fees, $800 of which were recorded in other expense. The rest of the costs are being amortized over the life of the debt. The write-offs of the deferred financing costs, original issuance discount and call premium were included in amortization of deferred financing costs and original issuance discount in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Note 14 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The pronouncement contains a five-step model which replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance. The Company adopted the standard during the first quarter of 2018 via a modified retrospective approach and recognized the cumulative effect of the adoption as an adjustment to January 1, 2018 retained earnings. Revenue Transactions—Retail Revenue from retail store operations is recognized at the point of sale as control of the product is transferred to the customer at such time. Retail e-commerce sales are recognized when the consumer receives the product as control transfers upon delivery. Due to its extensive history operating as the largest party goods retailer in North America, the Company has sufficient history with which to estimate future retail sales returns and it uses the expected value method to estimate such activity. The transaction price for the overwhelming majority of the Company’s retail sales is based on either: 1) the item’s stated price or 2) the stated price adjusted for the impact of a coupon which can only be applied to such transaction. To the extent that the Company charges customers for freight costs on e-commerce sales, the Company records such amounts in revenue. The Company has chosen the pronouncement’s policy election which allows it to exclude all sales taxes and value-added taxes from revenue. Under the terms of its agreements with its franchisees, the Company provides both: 1) brand value (via significant advertising spend) and 2) support with respect to planograms, in exchange for a royalty fee that ranges from 4% to 6% of the franchisees’ sales. The Company records the royalty fees at the time that the franchisees’ sales are recorded. Additionally, although the Company anticipates that future franchise store openings will be limited, when a franchisee opens a new store, the Company receives and records a one-time fee which is earned by the Company for its assistance with site selection and development of the new location. Both the sales-based royalty fee and the one-time fee are recorded in royalties and franchise fees in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Revenue Transactions—Wholesale For most of the Company’s wholesale sales, control transfers upon the Company’s shipment of the product as: 1) legal title transfers on such date and 2) the Company has a present right to payment at such time. Wholesale sales returns are not significant as the Company generally only accepts the return of goods that were shipped to the customer in error or that were damaged when received by the customer. Additionally, due to its extensive history operating as a leading party goods wholesaler, the Company has sufficient history with which to estimate future sales returns and it uses the expected value method to estimate such activity. In most cases, the determination of the transaction price is straight-forward as it is fixed based on the contract and/or purchase order. However, a limited number of customers receive volume-based rebates. Additionally, certain customers receive small discounts for early payment (generally 1% of the transaction price). Based on the business’ long history as a leading party goods wholesaler, the Company has sufficient history with which to estimate variable consideration for such volume-based rebates and early payment discounts. To the extent that the Company charges customers for freight costs, the Company records such amounts in revenue. The Company has chosen the pronouncement’s policy election which allows it to exclude all sales taxes and value-added taxes from revenue. The majority of the sales for the Company’s wholesale business are due within 30 to 120 days from the transfer of control of the product and substantially all of the sales are collected within a year from such transfer. For all transactions for which the Company expects to collect the transaction price within a year from the transfer of control, the Company applies one of the pronouncement’s practical expedients and does not adjust the consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. Judgments Although most of the Company’s revenue transactions consist of fixed transaction prices and the transfer of control at either the point of sale (for retail) or when the product is shipped (for wholesale), certain transactions involve a limited number of judgments. For transactions for which control transfers to the customer when the freight carrier delivers the product to the customer, the Company estimates the date of such receipt based on historical shipping times. Additionally, the Company utilizes historical data to estimate sales returns, volume-based rebates and discounts for early payments by customers. Due to its extensive history operating as a leading party goods retailer and wholesaler, the Company has sufficient history with which to estimate such amounts. Other Revenue Topics During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, impairment losses recognized on receivables and contract assets arising from the Company’s contracts with customers were $350 and $230, respectively. As a significant portion of the Company’s revenue is either: 1) part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less or 2) related to sales-based royalties promised in exchange for licenses of intellectual property, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemptions in paragraphs ASC 606-10-50-14 through ASC 606-10-50-14A. Additionally, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient which allows companies to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized would have been one year or less. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table summarizes revenue from contracts with customers for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017: Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Retail Net Sales: Party City Stores $ 330,845 $ 305,014 Global E-commerce 32,731 34,255 Halloween City Stores — — Total Retail Net Sales $ 363,576 $ 339,269 Royalties and Franchise Fees 2,716 3,036 Total Retail Revenue $ 366,292 $ 342,305 Wholesale Net Sales: Domestic $ 79,559 $ 84,341 International 61,973 50,353 Total Wholesale Net Sales $ 141,532 $ 134,694 Total Consolidated Revenue $ 507,824 $ 476,999 Financial Statement Impact of Adopting the Pronouncement All of the Company’s revenue is recognized from contracts with customers and, therefore, is subject to the pronouncement. The Company adopted the pronouncement using a modified retrospective approach and applied the guidance to all contracts as of January 1, 2018. On such date, the Company reduced its retained earnings by $78, reduced its accounts receivable by $141, increased its inventory by $11, reduced its accrued expenses by $26, increased its deferred tax asset by $28 and increased its income taxes payable by $2. The cumulative adjustment principally related to certain discounts within the Company’s wholesale business. Additionally, the adoption of the pronouncement impacted the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as it increased pre-tax income by $13. |

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Note 15 – Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash”. The pronouncement requires companies to show changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in their statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the pronouncement, which requires retrospective application, during the first quarter of 2018. As a result, the Company’s statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 has been adjusted to include $155 of restricted cash at December 31, 2016 and $145 of restricted cash at March 31, 2017. The restricted cash, which principally relates to funds that are required to be spent on advertising, is included in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Therefore, in the Company’s adjusted consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017, the change in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” has been adjusted from a cash inflow of $565 to a cash inflow of $555. The Company’s March 31, 2018 consolidated balance sheet included $54,831 of cash and cash equivalents and $149 of restricted cash and the Company’s December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet included $54,291 of cash and cash equivalents and $117 of restricted cash. Restricted cash is recorded in “prepaid expenses and other current assets”. |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”. The pronouncement amends the existing hedge accounting model in order to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in their financial statements. The update is effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2019. Although the Company continues to evaluate this pronouncement, it does not believe that it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash”. The pronouncement requires companies to show changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the pronouncement, which requires retrospective application, during the first quarter of 2018. The impact of such adoption was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 15 for further discussion. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The pronouncement clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the pronouncement during the first quarter of 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. The ASU requires that companies recognize on their balance sheets assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by the companies’ leases. The update is effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2019. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The update impacts the accounting for equity investments and the recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. The Company adopted the pronouncement during the first quarter of 2018 and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The pronouncement contains a five-step model which replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard was effective for the Company during the first quarter of 2018. The pronouncement can be applied retrospectively to prior reporting periods or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company decided to adopt the pronouncement using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, on January 1, 2018, the Company adjusted its accounting for certain discounts which are tied to the timing of payments by customers of its wholesale business and the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment which reduced retained earnings by $46. Additionally, as of such date, the Company modified its accounting for certain metallic balloon sales of its wholesale segment and started to defer the recognition of revenue on such sales, and the related costs, until the balloons have been filled with helium. As a result, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment which increased retained earnings by $8. Finally, as of such date, the Company adjusted its accounting for certain discounts on wholesale sales of seasonal product and the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment which reduced retained earnings by $40. See Note 14 for further discussion of the adoption of the pronouncement and the Company’s revenue recognition policy. |
