Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements	BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of Axalta Coating Systems Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Axalta," the "Company," "we," "our" and "us") at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , and their cash flows for the nine months then ended. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and combined financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axalta and its subsidiaries, and entities in which a controlling interest is maintained. Certain of our joint ventures are accounted for on a one-month lag basis, the effect of which is not material. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The Acquisition The acquisition ("Acquisition") by Axalta and certain of its indirect subsidiaries of all the capital stock, other equity interests and assets of certain entities which, together with their subsidiaries, comprised the DuPont Performance Coatings business ("DPC"), formerly owned by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company ("DuPont"), closed on February 1, 2013. The Carlyle Offerings In November 2014, we priced our initial public offering ("IPO") in which certain selling shareholders affiliated with The Carlyle Group L.P. ("Carlyle") sold 57,500,000 common shares at a price of $19.50 per share. Subsequent to the IPO, Carlyle completed six secondary offerings for an aggregate of 170.3 million common shares from April 2015 through August 2016 with offering prices ranging from $27.93 to $29.75 ("Carlyle Offerings"). We did no t receive any proceeds from the sale of common shares in any of the Carlyle Offerings. Effective with the August 2016 Carlyle offering, Carlyle no longer has any beneficial interest in Axalta's common shares, other than de minimis amounts held or owned in the ordinary course of business purchased subsequent to the Acquisition.

Recent Accounting Guidance

Recent Accounting Guidance	9 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Guidance	RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, "Stock Compensation", which provides various areas of simplification surrounding the accounting for stock-based compensation. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted prior to this date. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases", which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from all leases (both finance and operating) on the balance sheet. In addition to this main provision, this standard included a number of additional changes to lease accounting. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted prior to this date. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes", which requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We intend to early adopt this standard on December 31, 2016. The impacts to the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets would have resulted in corresponding net reclassifications from current assets and liabilities to non-current assets and liabilities at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $59.2 million and $62.9 million , respectively. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", which sets forth the guidance that an entity should use related to revenue recognition. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date," which delayed the effective date of the new revenue accounting standard to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and the interim periods within those fiscal years. Companies will be allowed to early adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. Early adoption is not permitted prior to this date. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," which provides clarification around identifying performance obligations and the treatment of different licensing contracts. Additional standards related to revenue from contracts with customers have been issued during 2016 to provide narrow scope improvements and clarification. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. We have determined that all other recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or do not apply to our operations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets	GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we completed three business acquisitions. These include a refinish business based in Southeast Asia, a light-vehicle business specializing in interior coatings based in North America and fifty-one percent of a controlling interest in an industrial business specializing in coil and spray coatings (together, the "2016 Acquisitions" or combined with immaterial acquisitions completed during 2015, the "2016 and 2015 Acquisitions"). Under the terms of the fifty-one percent acquisition, we are committed to purchase the remaining non-controlling interest of the entity in two equal installments in 2018 and 2019. The fair value of the non-controlling interest was $51.3 million as of the acquisition date. The 2016 Acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations and the overall impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements were not considered material, either individually or in the aggregate, as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The total fair value of net assets acquired, including minority interests, was $156.6 million and aggregate net sales for the 2016 Acquisitions on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $21.4 million . In addition to the goodwill associated with our minority interests from the 2016 Acquisitions, the fair value associated with definite-lived intangibles assets was $96.8 million , comprised of $17.7 million in technology, $9.3 million of trademarks, $69.3 million of customer relationships and $0.5 million of non-compete agreements. At September 30, 2016, we have not finalized the purchase accounting related to the 2016 Acquisitions and these amounts represent preliminary values. We expect to finalize our purchase accounting during the respective measurement periods which will be no later than one year following the closing dates. Goodwill The following table shows changes in the carrying amount of goodwill from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016 by reportable segment: Performance Coatings Transportation Coatings Total December 31, 2015 $ 866.1 $ 62.1 $ 928.2 Goodwill from acquisitions 59.2 15.5 74.7 Foreign currency translation 12.1 0.9 13.0 September 30, 2016 $ 937.4 $ 78.5 $ 1,015.9 Identifiable Intangible Assets The following table summarizes the gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization of identifiable intangible assets by major class: September 30, 2016 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Book Value Weighted average amortization periods (years) Technology $ 435.2 $ (149.6 ) $ 285.6 10.2 Trademarks - indefinite-lived 287.3 — 287.3 Indefinite Trademarks - definite-lived 55.5 (11.0 ) 44.5 14.8 Customer relationships 752.2 (130.5 ) 621.7 18.9 Non-compete agreements 2.4 (1.6 ) 0.8 4.6 Total $ 1,532.6 $ (292.7 ) $ 1,239.9 December 31, 2015 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Book Value Weighted average amortization periods (years) Technology $ 413.0 $ (117.2 ) $ 295.8 10.0 Trademarks—indefinite-lived 284.4 — 284.4 Indefinite Trademarks—definite-lived 45.2 (8.5 ) 36.7 14.7 Customer relationships 676.1 (102.1 ) 574.0 19.3 Non-compete agreements 1.9 (1.2 ) 0.7 4.6 Total $ 1,420.6 $ (229.0 ) $ 1,191.6 The estimated amortization expense related to the fair value of acquired intangible assets for the remainder of 2016 and each of the succeeding five years is: Remainder of 2016 $ 21.6 2017 $ 86.1 2018 $ 86.1 2019 $ 86.0 2020 $ 86.0 2021 $ 85.9

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring	RESTRUCTURING In accordance with the applicable guidance for Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, we accounted for termination benefits and recognized liabilities when it was considered probable that employees were entitled to termination benefits and the amounts could be reasonably estimated. We have incurred costs in connection with involuntary termination benefits associated with our corporate-related initiatives, including our transition to a standalone entity and cost-saving opportunities associated with our Fit For Growth and Axalta Way initiatives. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we incurred restructuring costs of $15.6 million and $21.2 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we recognized a benefit resulting from a change in estimate of $0.7 million and costs of $16.0 million , respectively. These amounts are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The payments associated with these actions are expected to be substantially completed within 12 to 15 months from September 30, 2016 . The following table summarizes the activities related to the restructuring reserves and expenses from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016 : 2016 Activity Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 41.3 Expense Recorded 21.2 Payments Made (19.8 ) Foreign Currency Impacts 0.6 Balance at September 30, 2016 $ 43.3

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Guarantees We directly guarantee various debt obligations with third parties related to the following: equity affiliates, customers, suppliers and other affiliated companies. No amounts were accrued at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . Leases At September 30, 2016 , we have recorded approximately $25.1 million in property, plant and equipment representing our landlord's estimated costs incurred to construct properties under two separate build-to-suit lease arrangements. Both leases commenced construction during 2015 with construction expected to be completed during 2016 and 2017 for the two properties, respectively. The construction related to the build-to-suit leases have estimated total costs of approximately $55.0 million . For accounting purposes, we are deemed the owner of the assets during the construction period and are required to record these costs as construction in progress during the construction period, with an offsetting liability in the same amount recorded to current and long-term borrowings, depending on the expected construction completion dates. These costs do not reflect the Company’s cash obligations, but represent the landlord’s costs to construct the properties, including costs for tenant improvements. Other We are subject to various pending lawsuits and other claims including civil, regulatory, and environmental matters. Certain of these lawsuits and other claims may have an impact on us. These litigation matters may involve indemnification obligations by third parties and/or insurance coverage covering all or part of any potential damage awards against DuPont and/or us. All of the above matters are subject to many uncertainties and, accordingly, we cannot determine the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits at this time. The potential effects, if any, on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Axalta will be recorded in the period in which these matters are probable and estimable, and such effects could be material. In addition to the aforementioned matters, we are party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate resolution of these various proceedings cannot be determined at this time, management does not believe that such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Axalta.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we recognized $10.0 million and $31.6 million , respectively, in stock-based compensation expense which was allocated between costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recognized a tax benefit of $5.3 million and $10.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we recogni ze d $ 7.9 million and $ 22.1 million , respectively, in stock-based compensation expense which was allocated primarily to cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recognized a tax benefit of $2.8 million and $6.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. Included in the $ 22.1 million of stock-based compensation expense recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $8.2 million of stock-based compensation expense attributable to the accelerated vesting of all issued and outstanding stock options issued under the Axalta Coating Systems Bermuda Co., Ltd. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan") as a result of a change in control (the "Change in Control") in April 2015 when Carlyle's interest in Axalta decreased below 50% , which triggered a liquidity event as defined in the 2013 Plan. Compensation cost is recorded net of forfeitures. The forfeiture rate assumption is the estimated annual rate at which unvested awards are expected to be forfeited during the vesting period. Periodically, management will assess whether it is necessary to adjust the estimated rate to reflect changes in actual forfeitures or changes in expectations. At September 30, 2016 , the Company has estimated its annual forfeiture rate at 0% due to its historical trends and expectations of forfeitures. Stock Options The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to estimate fair value of the options as of the date of the grant. The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2016 was $5.68 per share. Principal weighted average assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model were as follows: 2016 Grants Expected Term 6.00 years Volatility 21.63 % Dividend Yield — Discount Rate 1.45 % Options granted under the 2014 Incentive Award Plan (the "2014 Plan) vest ratably over 3 years and have a life of no more than 10 years. For the option grants, the market value of the stock is the closing price of the stock on the date of grant. The expected term assumptions used for the 2016 and 2015 grants were also determined using the simplified method and resulted in an expected term of 6 years . We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, used an expected dividend yield of zero . Volatility for outstanding options is based upon an industry peer group since the Company was either privately-held at the date of grant or had a limited history as a public company. The discount rate was derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The exercise price and market value per share amounts were as of the date the stock options were granted. A summary of stock option award activity as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , is presented below: Awards/Units (millions) Weighted- Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value (millions) Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (years) Outstanding at January 1, 2016 11.0 $ 12.19 Granted 1.1 $ 23.27 Exercised (1.7 ) $ 8.09 Forfeited / cancelled (0.4 ) $ 9.48 Outstanding at September 30, 2016 10.0 $ 14.16 Vested and expected to vest at September 30, 2016 10.0 $ 14.16 $ 146.0 7.42 Exercisable at September 30, 2016 8.1 $ 11.17 $ 140.5 7.04 Cash received by the Company upon exercise of options for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $21.3 million , inclusive of tax benefits of $7.5 million . The future tax benefit related to exercises during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $10.2 million .

Amounts were also directly impacted by impairment charges on our non-operational real estate investment (discussed further at Note 20). These exchange losses were slightly offset by gains resulting from the remeasurement of intercompany transactions denominated in currencies different from the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. Expense related to debt extinguishment and refinancing related costs includes redemption premiums on our 2021 Dollar Senior Notes and 2021 Euro Senior Notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as well as the unamortized (or pro-rata unamortized) deferred financing costs and original issue discounts associated with the debt extinguishments. See Note 14 for further information. Other miscellaneous expense (income), net included a gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 resulting from the acquisition of an additional 25% interest in an equity method investee for a purchase price of $4.3 million . As a result of the acquisition, we obtained a controlling interest and recognized a gain of $5.4 million on the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest as of the acquisition date.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES Our effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 2015 Effective Tax Rate 32.5 % 45.2 % The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to less pre-tax impairment charges in Venezuela which were not tax-deductible. This resulted in a 10.0% increase in the effective tax rate in 2015 compared to 2.9% in 2016. This decrease was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of pre-tax losses on debt extinguishment and other financing-related costs incurred in connection with the refinancing activities and voluntary prepayments (see discussion at Note 14), as we do not expect to realize a tax benefit for a portion of these losses. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate due to various items that impacted the effective rate both favorably and unfavorably. We recorded favorable adjustments for earnings in jurisdictions where the statutory rate is lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate and currency exchange losses, which were partially offset by the unfavorable impact of pre-tax losses attributable to jurisdictions where a tax benefit is not expected to be realized, non-deductible expenses and interest and a pre-tax impairment charge in Venezuela that was non-deductible.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share	NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income (loss) per common share excludes the dilutive impact of potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share includes the effect of potential dilution from the exercise of outstanding stock options, restricted shares and performance shares. Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded in the weighted average number of common shares used for the calculation of net income per share in periods of net loss because the effect of such securities would be anti-dilutive. A reconciliation of our basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (In millions, except per share data) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Net income (loss) to common shareholders $ (10.7 ) $ 35.1 $ 67.5 $ 55.1 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 238.5 235.9 237.8 232.7 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 238.5 240.9 242.4 239.1 Net income (loss) per Common Share: Basic net income (loss) per share $ (0.04 ) $ 0.15 $ 0.28 $ 0.24 Diluted net income (loss) per share $ (0.04 ) $ 0.15 $ 0.28 $ 0.23 The number of anti-dilutive shares that have been excluded in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were 13.0 million and 1.4 million , respectively.

("Dutch B B.V."), as "Dutch Borrower", and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Axalta Coating Systems U.S. Holdings Inc. ("Axalta US Holdings"), as "US Borrower", executed the second amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the "Second Amendment"). The Second Amendment (i) converted all of the outstanding Dollar Term Loans ( $2,282.8 million ) into a new class of term loans (the "New Dollar Term Loans"), and (ii) converted all of the outstanding Euro Term Loans (€ 397.0 million ) into a new class of term loans (the "New Euro Term Loans" and, together with the New Dollar Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein), the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities"). The New Dollar Term Loans are subject to a floor of 1.00% , plus an applicable rate after the Second Amendment Effective Date. The applicable rate for such New Dollar Term Loans is 3.00% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the "Credit Agreement") and 2.00% per annum for Base Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement. The applicable rate for both Eurocurrency Rate Loans as well as Base Rate Loans is subject to a further 25 basis point reduction if the Total Net Leverage Ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is less than or equal to 4.50 :1.00. The New Euro Term Loans are also subject to a floor of 1.00% , plus an applicable rate after the Amendment Effective Date. The applicable rate for such New Euro Term Loans is 3.25% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans. New Euro Term Loans may not be Base Rate Loans. The applicable rate is subject to a further 25 basis point reduction if the Total Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 4.50 :1.00. During the third quarter of 2014, our Total Net Leverage Ratio was and has continued to be less than 4.50 :1.00. Consequently, the applicable rates were changed to 2.75% for the New Dollar Term Loans and 3.00% for the New Euro Term Loans through September 30, 2016 . Interest is payable quarterly on both the New Dollar Term Loan and the New Euro Term Loan. Prior to the Second Amendment, interest on the Dollar Term Loan was subject to a floor of 1.25% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans plus an applicable rate of 3.50% . For Base Rate Loans, the interest was subject to a floor of the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.50% , the Prime Lending Rate, an Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, or 2.25% plus an applicable rate of 2.50% . Interest on the Euro Term Loan, a Eurocurrency Loan, was subject to a floor of 1.25% plus an applicable rate of 4.00% . Any indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part, in minimum amounts, subject to the make-whole provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement. Such indebtedness is subject to mandatory prepayments amounting to the proceeds of asset sales over $25.0 million annually, proceeds from certain debt issuances not otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement and 50% (subject to a step-down to 25.0% or 0% if the First Lien Leverage Ratio falls below 4.25 :1.00 or 3.50 :1.00, respectively) of Excess Cash Flow. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all assets of Axalta Coating Systems Dutch A B. V. ("Dutch A B.V.") and the guarantors. The New Dollar Term Loan and New Euro Term Loan mature on February 1, 2020. Principal is paid quarterly on both the New Dollar Term Loan and the New Euro Term Loan based on 1% per annum of the original principal amount with the unpaid balance due at maturity. We are subject to customary negative covenants in addition to the First Lien Leverage Ratio financial covenant. Further, the Senior Secured Credit Facility, among other things, includes customary restrictions (subject to certain exceptions) on the Company’s ability to incur certain indebtedness, grant certain liens, make certain investments, declare or pay certain dividends, or repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2016 , the Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Revolving Credit Facility On August 1, 2016 (the "Third Amendment Effective Date"), Dutch B B.V. and Axalta US Holdings executed the third amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the "Third Amendment"). The Third Amendment impacted the Revolving Credit Facility by (i) extending the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility to five years from the Amendment Effective Date, or August 1, 2021, provided that such date will be accelerated to the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the term loans borrowed under the Credit Agreement if the maturity of such term loans precedes the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) decreasing the applicable interest margins, and (iii) amending the financial covenant applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility to be applicable only when greater than 30% (previously 25% ) of the Revolving Credit Facility (including letters of credit not cash collateralized to at least 103% ) is outstanding at the end of the fiscal quarter. If such conditions are met, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio at the end of the quarter is required to be greater than 5.50 :1.00. At September 30, 2016, the financial covenant is not applicable as there were no borrowings. Under the Third Amendment, interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a floor of 0.00% for Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable rate of 2.75% (previously 3.50% ) subject to an additional step-down to 2.50% or 2.25% , if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) falls below 3.00 :1.00 or 2.50 :1.00, respectively. For Base Rate Loans, the interest is subject to a floor of the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.50% , the Prime Lending Rate or an Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate plus 1% , plus an applicable rate of 1.75% (previously 2.50% ), subject to an additional step-down to 1.50% or 1.25% , if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio falls below 3.00 :1.00 and 2.50 :1.00, respectively. Under circumstances described in the Credit Agreement, we may increase available revolving or term facility borrowings by up to $400.0 million plus an additional amount subject to the Company not exceeding a maximum first lien leverage ratio described in the Credit Agreement. In connection with the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement discussed above, we recorded a pre-tax loss on extinguishment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $2.3 million . There have been no borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility since the issuance of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $21.5 million and $24.9 million , respectively, which reduced the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $378.5 million and $375.1 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Significant Transactions In April and September of 2016, we voluntarily prepaid $100.0 million and €200.0 million in principal of the outstanding New Dollar Term Loan and New Euro Term Loan, respectively. As a result, we recorded pre-tax losses on extinguishment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $4.3 million and $6.6 million , respectively, consisting of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discounts. Significant Terms of the 2021 Senior Notes On February 1, 2013, Axalta Coating Systems Dutch Holding B B.V, as the “Dutch Issuer”, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Axalta Coating Systems LLC, as the “U.S. Issuer” (collectively the "Issuers") issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the "2021 Dollar Senior Notes") and related guarantees thereof. Additionally, the Issuers issued €250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior secured notes due 2021 (the "2021 Euro Senior Notes" and, together with the Dollar Senior Notes, the "2021 Senior Notes") and related guarantees thereof. The Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by Dutch A B.V. and certain of the Issuers’ subsidiaries. The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict the ability of the Issuers and their subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt, make certain payments including payment of dividends or repurchase equity interest of the Issuers, make loans or acquisitions or capital contributions and certain investments, incur certain liens, sell assets, merge or consolidate or liquidate other entities, and enter into transactions with affiliates. Issuance of New Senior Notes and Redemption of 2021 Senior Notes On August 16, 2016, the U.S. Issuer, issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Unsecured Notes (the “2024 Dollar Senior Notes”) and €335.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Unsecured Notes (the “2024 Euro Senior Notes”), each due August 2024 (collectively the “2024 Senior Notes” and with the 2025 Euro Senior Notes, the “New Senior Notes”, each of which is described in detail below), for the primary purpose of redeeming the 2021 Dollar Senior Notes (the “August Refinancing”). Consistent with the terms of the 2021 Dollar Senior Notes, we extinguished the principal at a redemption price equal to 105.531% . In connection with the August Refinancing, we recorded a $56.9 million pre-tax loss on extinguishment and other financing-related costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

In addition, on September 27, 2016, the Dutch Issuer issued €450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Euro Senior Unsecured Notes due January 2025 (the “2025 Euro Senior Notes”) for the primary purpose of redeeming the 2021 Euro Senior Notes and the prepayment of the New Euro Term Loan (the “September Refinancing”). Consistent with the original terms of the 2021 Euro Senior Notes, we extinguished the principal at a redemption price equal to 104.313% . In connection with the September Refinancing, we recorded an $18.4 million pre-tax loss on extinguishment and other financing-related costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The pre-tax loss was comprised of the redemption premium of $12.1 million , write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs attributable to the 2021 Euro Senior Notes of $5.6 million and other fees directly associated with the transaction of $0.7 million . The New Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Axalta Coating Systems Dutch Holdings B B.V., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Parent Guarantor”).

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS We selectively use derivative instruments to reduce market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The use of derivatives is intended for hedging purposes only and we do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. A description of each type of derivative used to manage risk is included in the following paragraphs. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we entered into five interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $1,173.0 million to hedge interest rate exposures related to variable rate borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The interest rate swaps are in place until September 29, 2017 . The interest rate swaps qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges. The following table presents the location and fair values using Level 2 inputs of derivative instruments that qualify and have been designated as cash flow hedges included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet: September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Prepaid and other assets: Interest rate swaps $ — $ 0.4 Total assets $ — $ 0.4 Other accrued liabilities: Interest rate swaps $ 2.8 $ — Other liabilities: Interest rate swaps $ — $ 1.8 Total liabilities $ 2.8 $ 1.8 We periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce market risk and hedge our balance sheet exposures and cash flows for subsidiaries with exposures denominated in currencies different from the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. These contracts have not been designated as hedges and all gains and losses are marked to market through other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The following table presents the location and fair values using Level 2 inputs of derivative instruments that have not been designated as hedges included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet: September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Prepaid and other assets: Foreign currency contracts $ 0.3 $ 0.3 Total assets $ 0.3 $ 0.3 Other accrued liabilities: Foreign currency contracts $ 0.3 $ — Total liabilities: $ 0.3 $ — For derivative instruments that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The following tables set forth the locations and amounts recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 for these cash flow hedges.

We paid a premium of $3.1 million for the interest rate cap. The interest rate cap was not designated as a hedge and the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in current period earnings and are included in interest expense. Fair value gains and losses of derivative contracts, as determined using Level 2 inputs, that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in income as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments under ASC 815 Location of (Gain) Loss Recognized in Income on Derivatives 2016 2015 2016 2015 Foreign currency forward contracts Other expense, net $ 0.4 $ (4.4 ) $ 4.4 $ (6.3 ) Interest rate cap Interest expense, net — 0.1 — — $ 0.4 $ (4.3 ) $ 4.4 $ (6.3 )

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	SEGMENTS The Company identifies an operating segment as a component: (i) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) that has available discrete financial information. We have two operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Performance Coatings and Transportation Coatings. The CODM reviews financial information at the operating segment level to allocate resources and to assess the operating results and financial performance for each operating segment. Our CODM is identified as the Chief Executive Officer because he has final authority over performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. Our segments are based on the type and concentration of customers served, service requirements, methods of distribution and major product lines. Through our Performance Coatings segment, we provide high-quality liquid and powder coatings solutions to a fragmented and local customer base. We are one of only a few suppliers with the technology to provide precise color matching and highly durable coatings systems. The end-markets within this segment are refinish and industrial. Through our Transportation Coatings segment, we provide advanced coating technologies to OEMs of light and commercial vehicles. These increasingly global customers require a high level of technical support coupled with cost-effective, environmentally responsible coatings systems that can be applied with a high degree of precision, consistency and speed. The end-markets within this segment are light vehicle and commercial vehicle. Our business serves four end-markets globally as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Performance Coatings Refinish $ 434.5 $ 426.9 $ 1,262.0 $ 1,280.2 Industrial 184.8 173.7 532.4 516.4 Total Net sales Performance Coatings 619.3 600.6 1,794.4 1,796.6 Transportation Coatings Light Vehicle 321.1 303.7 994.9 984.1 Commercial Vehicle 83.0 96.0 254.8 302.9 Total Net sales Transportation Coatings 404.1 399.7 1,249.7 1,287.0 Total Net sales $ 1,023.4 $ 1,000.3 $ 3,044.1 $ 3,083.6 Asset information is not reviewed or included with our internal management reporting.

(2) The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and select other items impacting operating results. These other items impacting operating results are items that management has concluded are (1) non-cash items included within net income, (2) items the Company does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (3) non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items that the Company believes are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts, and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company’s core operating performance, which represents EBITDA adjusted for the select items referred to above. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income before income taxes follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Income (loss) before income taxes $ (10.1 ) $ 54.2 $ 105.5 $ 107.3 Interest expense, net 42.9 50.8 140.8 150.0 Depreciation and amortization 81.2 75.4 235.8 225.5 EBITDA 114.0 180.4 482.1 482.8 Debt extinguishment and refinancing related costs (a) 81.9 — 84.2 — Foreign exchange remeasurement losses (b) 4.5 23.7 30.0 90.2 Long-term employee benefit plan adjustments (c) 0.8 (0.5 ) 2.1 (0.1 ) Termination benefits and other employee related costs (d) 16.3 0.8 25.2 19.3 Consulting and advisory fees (e) 2.7 7.2 8.3 17.1 Offering and transactional costs (f) 3.0 1.4 4.4 (2.3 ) Stock-based compensation (g) 10.0 7.9 31.6 22.1 Other adjustments (h) 1.5 (3.7 ) 5.2 (0.9 ) Dividends in respect of noncontrolling interest (i) (1.5 ) (0.3 ) (3.0 ) (4.4 ) Asset impairment (j) — — 10.5 30.6 Adjusted EBITDA $ 233.2 $ 216.9 $ 680.6 $ 654.4 (a) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we prepaid outstanding principal on our term loans, resulting in non-cash pre-tax losses on extinguishment of $4.3 million and $6.6 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we amended the terms of the Credit Agreement, resulting in a non-cash pre-tax loss on extinguishment of $2.3 million . In connection with the refinancings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax loss on extinguishment of $18.6 million and incurred call premiums and other fees of $56.7 million . We do not consider these items to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (b) Eliminates foreign exchange losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, net of the impacts of our foreign currency instruments used to hedge our balance sheet exposures. Exchange effects attributable to the remeasurement of our Venezuelan subsidiary represented losses of $1.2 million and $23.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and gains of $0.6 million and losses of $52.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. (c) Eliminates the non-cash non-service cost components of long-term employee benefit costs (discussed further at Note 6). (d) Represents expenses primarily related to employee termination benefits including our initiative to improve the overall cost structure within the European region as well as costs associated with our Axalta Way initiatives, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (e) Represents fees paid to consultants for professional services primarily related to our Axalta Way initiatives, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (f) Represents costs associated with the offerings of our common shares by Carlyle, acquisition-related costs, including a $5.4 million gain recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 resulting from the remeasurement of our previously held interest in an equity method investee upon the acquisition of a controlling interest, and costs associated with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration associated with our acquisitions, all of which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (g) Represents non-cash costs associated with stock-based compensation, including $8.2 million of expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 attributable to the accelerated vesting of all issued and outstanding stock options issued under the 2013 Plan as a result of the Change in Control. (h) Represents costs for certain non-operational or non-cash (gains) and losses unrelated to our core business and which we do not consider indicative of ongoing operations, including equity investee dividends, indemnity losses (gains) associated with the Acquisition, losses (gains) on sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment, losses (gains) on the remaining foreign currency derivative instruments and non-cash fair value inventory adjustments associated with our business combinations. (i) Represents the payment of dividends to our joint venture partners by our consolidated entities that are not wholly owned, which are reflected to show the cash operating performance of these entities on Axalta's financial statements. (j) As a result of currency devaluations in Venezuela, we recorded non-cash impairment charges relating to a real estate investment of $10.5 million and $30.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively (discussed further at Note 20). We do not consider these impairments to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Venezuela

Foreign Currency [Abstract]
Venezuela	VENEZUELA Venezuela Currency Devaluation As a result of challenging economic conditions, Venezuela’s foreign currency exchange mechanisms have continued to develop which have impacted our Venezuela operations. From December 31, 2014 through June 30, 2015, we used the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (SICAD) rate of 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar. At June 30, 2015, we changed the exchange rate we used to remeasure our Venezuelan bolivars from the SICAD rate to the Marginal Foreign Exchange System (SIMADI) rate of 197.7 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar. We believed it was appropriate to move from using the SICAD rate to using the SIMADI rate based on the culmination of relevant facts and circumstances, including our expectation that future dividend remittances would be made at the SIMADI rate. In March 2016, the Venezuelan government enacted additional changes to its foreign currency exchange regime. The changes resulted in a reduction of its three-tiered exchange rate system to two tiers by eliminating the SICAD rate. The changes also devalued the official DIPRO rate (formerly CENCOEX), to 10.0 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar from 6.3 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar, while also creating a replacement floating supplementary market exchange rate, DICOM, which fully replaced SIMADI. DICOM is intended to provide limited access to a free market rate of exchange. At September 30, 2016, DIPRO remained at 10.0 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar and the exchange rate for DICOM was 657.6 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar. We believe that significant uncertainty still exists regarding the exchange mechanisms in Venezuela, including how any such mechanisms will operate in the future and the availability of U.S. dollars under each mechanism. At September 30, 2016 , we continue to believe that the DICOM rate is the appropriate rate to use in the remeasurement of the monetary assets and liabilities of our Venezuelan subsidiary, which is a U.S. dollar functional entity. Primarily as a result of the devalued Venezuelan bolivar, we recorded currency exchange losses of $1.2 million and $23.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively and exchange gains of $0.6 million and exchange losses of $52.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Included in the losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was a loss of $53.2 million resulting from the devaluation caused by the change in exchange mechanism used at June 30, 2015. Venezuela Financial Results As a result of economic uncertainty and the resulting impact on our operations, we re-evaluated the carrying value of long-lived assets for our Venezuelan subsidiary at December 31, 2015. Based on an analysis of estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of our productive long-lived assets with finite lives, we determined that their carrying values were recoverable. The recoverability analysis was heavily dependent on continued demand and price assumptions of our local operations. Our price assumptions and the associated increases are expected to continue and are intended to allow us to keep pace with the changes in exchange rates and inflation. We believe these price increases are probable given our market share, customer base and historical success of implementing price increases in similar situations in the past. With the exception of intercompany inventory purchases, our operations in Venezuela were and are expected to be entirely self-funded. Due to the ability of our Venezuelan operations to procure raw materials through Axalta subsidiaries, we do not foresee any impact on our Venezuelan subsidiary's ability to operate. We have no current need or intention to repatriate Venezuelan earnings and remain committed to the business for the foreseeable future based on our current expectations. If assumptions regarding our continued demand and ability to successfully implement and sustain price increases differ from actual results, or our ability to control the operations of our Venezuelan subsidiary change as a result of economic uncertainty or political instability, there is a risk that our productive long-lived assets may be impaired. Additionally, if DICOM continues to weaken, this could result in a material unfavorable impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Although through September 30, 2016 , our operations continued to be challenged by further deteriorating macro-economic conditions within the country, we believe that the demand and price assumptions used at December 31, 2015 continue to be reasonable for assessing our operations recoverability. At June 30, 2015, we separately evaluated the carrying value of our non-operating real estate investment as it is not part of our core operational activities. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that the carrying value of the real estate investment of $52.6 million was impaired as a result of the current real estate market prices and movement of our translation rate from 12.0 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar to 197.7 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar. At June 30, 2016, we performed a separate evaluation of the carrying value of our non-operating real estate investment. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that the carrying value of the real estate investment of $21.5 million was impaired as a result of the current real estate market prices and movement of our translation rate from 270.5 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar at March 31, 2016 to 626.0 Venezuelan bolivars to 1.0 U.S. dollar at June 30, 2016. As a result of these evaluations on our real estate investment property we recorded impairments to write down the carrying value of the asset to its fair value at June 30, 2016 and 2015. Impairments of $10.5 million and $30.6 million were recorded within other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The method used to determine fair values of the real estate investment included using Level 2 inputs in the form of observable market quotes from local real estate broker service firms. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our Venezuelan subsidiary had total assets of $142.8 million and $152.9 million , respectively, and total liabilities of $51.8 million and $42.2 million , respectively, which represent less than 3% of our consolidated assets and liabilities at the end of each respective period. Total liabilities include $32.1 million and $25.9 million of intercompany liabilities designated in U.S. dollars at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, total non-monetary assets, net, were $93.5 million and $112.4 million , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , our Venezuelan subsidiary's net sales represented $19.4 million and $48.6 million of our consolidated net sales, respectively, which represented less than 2% for the respective periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, our Venezuelan subsidiary represented $15.7 million and $110.8 million of our consolidated net sales, respectively, which represented less than 5% for the respective periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , our Venezuelan subsidiary represented $11.1 million and $24.3 million of our consolidated income from operations, respectively, which represented less than 10% for the respective periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, our Venezuelan subsidiary represented $0.9 million and $53.5 million of our consolidated income from operations, respectively, which represented less than 15% for the respective periods.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy	Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, "Stock Compensation", which provides various areas of simplification surrounding the accounting for stock-based compensation. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted prior to this date. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases", which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from all leases (both finance and operating) on the balance sheet. In addition to this main provision, this standard included a number of additional changes to lease accounting. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted prior to this date. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes", which requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We intend to early adopt this standard on December 31, 2016. The impacts to the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets would have resulted in corresponding net reclassifications from current assets and liabilities to non-current assets and liabilities at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $59.2 million and $62.9 million , respectively. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)", which sets forth the guidance that an entity should use related to revenue recognition. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date," which delayed the effective date of the new revenue accounting standard to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and the interim periods within those fiscal years. Companies will be allowed to early adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. Early adoption is not permitted prior to this date. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," which provides clarification around identifying performance obligations and the treatment of different licensing contracts. Additional standards related to revenue from contracts with customers have been issued during 2016 to provide narrow scope improvements and clarification. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. We have determined that all other recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or do not apply to our operations.

(2) The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and select other items impacting operating results. These other items impacting operating results are items that management has concluded are (1) non-cash items included within net income, (2) items the Company does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (3) non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items that the Company believes are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts, and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company’s core operating performance, which represents EBITDA adjusted for the select items referred to above. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income before income taxes follows:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we amended the terms of the Credit Agreement, resulting in a non-cash pre-tax loss on extinguishment of $2.3 million . In connection with the refinancings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax loss on extinguishment of $18.6 million and incurred call premiums and other fees of $56.7 million .

(b) Eliminates foreign exchange losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, net of the impacts of our foreign currency instruments used to hedge our balance sheet exposures. Exchange effects attributable to the remeasurement of our Venezuelan subsidiary represented losses of $1.2 million and $23.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and gains of $0.6 million and losses of $52.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. (c) Eliminates the non-cash non-service cost components of long-term employee benefit costs (discussed further at Note 6). (d) Represents expenses primarily related to employee termination benefits including our initiative to improve the overall cost structure within the European region as well as costs associated with our Axalta Way initiatives, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (e) Represents fees paid to consultants for professional services primarily related to our Axalta Way initiatives, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (f) Represents costs associated with the offerings of our common shares by Carlyle, acquisition-related costs, including a $5.4 million gain recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 resulting from the remeasurement of our previously held interest in an equity method investee upon the acquisition of a controlling interest, and costs associated with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration associated with our acquisitions, all of which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance. (g) Represents non-cash costs associated with stock-based compensation, including $8.2 million of expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 attributable to the accelerated vesting of all issued and outstanding stock options issued under the 2013 Plan as a result of the Change in Control. (h) Represents costs for certain non-operational or non-cash (gains) and losses unrelated to our core business and which we do not consider indicative of ongoing operations, including equity investee dividends, indemnity losses (gains) associated with the Acquisition, losses (gains) on sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment, losses (gains) on the remaining foreign currency derivative instruments and non-cash fair value inventory adjustments associated with our business combinations. (i) Represents the payment of dividends to our joint venture partners by our consolidated entities that are not wholly owned, which are reflected to show the cash operating performance of these entities on Axalta's financial statements.

We do not consider these impairments to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
