Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation Organization and Ownership Structure — Atkore International Group Inc. (the "Company", "Atkore" or "AIG") is a leading manufacturer of Electrical Raceway products primarily for the non-residential construction and renovation markets and Mechanical Products & Solutions (" MP&S ") for the construction and industrial markets. Electrical Raceway products form the critical infrastructure that enables the deployment, isolation and protection of a structure's electrical circuitry from the original power source to the final outlet. MP&S frame, support and secure component parts in a broad range of structures, equipment and systems in electrical, industrial and construction applications. Atkore was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 4, 2010. Atkore is the sole stockholder of Atkore International Holdings Inc. ("AIH"), which in turn is the sole stockholder of Atkore International, Inc. ("AII"). Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company's accounting policies and on the same basis as those financial statements included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 22, 2019, and should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities used in operating the Company's business. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of companies acquired or disposed of are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considered necessary to present a fair statement of its results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Fiscal Periods — The Company has a fiscal year that ends on September 30. It is the Company's practice to establish quarterly closings using a 4-5-4 calendar. The Company's fiscal quarters end on the last Friday in December, March and June. Use of Estimates — The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and report the associated amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements A summary of recently adopted accounting guidance is as follows. Adoption dates are on the first day of the fiscal year indicated below, unless otherwise specified. ASU Description of ASU Impact to Atkore Note Adoption Date 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) The Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") requires companies to use a "right of use" lease model that assumes that each lease creates an asset (the lessee's right to use the leased asset) and a liability (the future rent payment obligations), which should be reflected on a lessee's balance sheet to fairly represent the lease transaction and the lessee's related financial obligations with terms of more than 12 months. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2020 using the modified retrospective method. See Note 2, "Leases" for further detail. 2 2020 A summary of accounting guidance not yet adopted is as follows. Effective dates are on the first day of the fiscal year indicated below, unless otherwise specified. ASU Description of ASU Impact to Atkore Effective Date 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) The ASU adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. Under evaluation. 2021 2018-14 Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans The ASU amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Under evaluation. 2021 |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | 2. LEASES On October 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition method. Topic 842 requires the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for operating leases, in addition to the finance lease assets and liabilities previously recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Beginning on October 1, 2019, our condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the revised policies, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical policies. The modified retrospective transition method required the cumulative effect, if any, of initially applying the guidance to be recognized as an adjustment to our accumulated deficit as of our adoption date. As a result of adopting Topic 842, we recognized additional operating lease assets and liabilities of $45,519 and $46,941 as of October 1, 2019. The discount rate primarily used to calculate that adjustment was the Company's incremental borrowing rate as of the adoption date, October 1, 2019, as a rate implicit in most contracts was not readily determinable. The Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $1,053 to accumulated deficit, net of tax, as a result of the adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic 842, which allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification, classification and initial direct costs for leases entered into prior to adoption of Topic 842. Additionally, for leases with a term of 12 months or less, the Company elected the short-term lease exemption, which allowed us to not recognize right-of-use assets ("ROU") or lease liabilities for qualifying leases existing at transition and new leases we may enter into in the future. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company engages in leasing transactions to meet the needs of the business. The Company leases certain warehouses and distribution centers, office space, forklifts, vehicles and other machinery and equipment. The determination to lease, rather than purchase, an asset is primarily contingent upon capital requirements, duration of the forecasted business investment, and asset availability. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and all arrangements deemed to be leases are subject to an assessment to determine the classification between finance and operating leases. The Company's significant assumptions and judgments in determining whether a contract is or contains a lease include establishing whether the supplier has the ability to use other assets to fulfill its service or whether the terms of the agreement enable the Company to control the use of a dedicated property, plant and equipment asset during the contract term. In the majority of the Company's contracts where it must identify whether a lease is present, it is readily determinable that the Company controls the use of the assets and obtains substantially all of the economic benefit during the term of the contract. In those contracts where identification is not readily determinable, the Company has determined that the supplier has either the ability to use another asset to provide the service or the terms of the contract give the supplier the rights to operate the asset at its discretion during the term of the contract, in which case the arrangement would not constitute a lease. Right-of-use assets and lease obligations are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date. The Company’s lease agreements have terms that include both lease and non-lease components. Lease component fees are included in the present value of future minimum lease payments. Conversely, non-lease components are not subject to capitalization and are expensed as incurred. Per Topic 842, the contractual interest rate is used to calculate the present value of the future minimum lease payments. However, the majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company's significant assumption and judgments in determining the discount rate include determining the incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the lease, the economic environment of the lease and the effect of collateralization. The valuation of the ROU asset also includes lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date and initial direct costs incurred to secure the lease and is reduced for lease incentives. The lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the options. The Company has certain leasing agreements, related to leased vehicles available to our sales personnel, that contain guaranteed residual value terms, which are not expected to be triggered. The Company’s leasing portfolio does not contain any material restrictive covenants.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | 3. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS The Company’s revenue arrangements primarily consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods which is satisfied at a point in time when title, risks and rewards of ownership, and subsequently control have transferred to the customer. This generally occurs when the product is shipped to the customer, with an immaterial amount of transactions in which control transfers upon delivery. The Company primarily offers assurance-type standard warranties that do not represent separate performance obligations. The Company has certain arrangements that require it to estimate at the time of sale the amounts of variable consideration that should not be recorded as revenue as certain amounts are not expected to be collected from customers, as well as an estimate of the value of products to be returned. The Company principally relies on historical experience, specific customer agreements, and anticipated future trends to estimate these amounts at the time of sale and to reduce the transaction price. These arrangements include sales discounts and allowances, volume rebates, and returned goods. The Company records amounts billed to customers for reimbursement of shipping and handling costs within revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of goods sold. Sales taxes and other usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue. The Company does not evaluate whether the selling price includes a financing interest component for contracts that are less than a year. The Company also expenses costs incurred to obtain a contract, primarily sales commissions, as all obligations will be settled in less than one year. The Company typically receives payment 30 to 60 days from the point it has satisfied the related performance obligation. See Note 18, ''Segment Information'' for revenue disaggregated by geography and product categories. |

Acquisitions | 4. ACQUISITIONS From time to time, the Company enters into strategic acquisitions in an effort to better service existing customers and to attain new customers. On August 21, 2019, Atkore Plastic Pipe Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired the assets of Rocky Mountain Pipe ("Cor-Tek"), a manufacturer of PVC conduit for electrical applications, and considered a leading innovator in cellular core extrusion technology for a purchase price of $14,835 . In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of $7,384 within other income, net during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 in the Statement of Operations. The Company believes that it was able to acquire the net assets of Cor-Tek for less than fair value as a result of Cor-Tek’s financial difficulties. On August 12, 2019, Unistrut Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired Flytec Systems Ltd. and its parent holding company, Modern Associates Ltd., (collectively "Flytec"), a manufacturer of metal surface trunking, including IP4X, perimeter systems, pedestal boxes, as well as underfloor installations and industrial floor trunking. The purchase price was immaterial to the Company. On June 3, 2019, AFC Cable Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired the assets of United Structural Products, LLC. ("U.S. Tray"), a manufacturer of welded aluminum and engineered-to-order cable trays for a purchase price of $25,507 , net of cash received. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized $7,295 of goodwill, $14,800 of identifiable intangible assets and $3,412 of working capital and other net other tangible assets. On October 1, 2018, Allied Luxembourg S.a.r.l, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Vergokan International NV ("Vergokan") for a purchase price of $57,899 , net of cash received. Vergokan is a leading manufacturer of cable tray and cable ladder systems, underfloor installations and industrial floor trunking that serves industrial, power and energy, commercial and infrastructure sectors in more than 45 countries. This transaction provides Atkore with an expanded presence in Western Europe and strengthens the Company's electrical portfolio of cable management products within the Electrical Raceway segment. All the above acquisitions were funded with cash on hand. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the acquired companies from the acquisition date. Due to the immaterial nature of these acquisitions, both individually, and in the aggregate, the Company did not include the full year pro forma results of operations for the acquisition year or previous years. The purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values. The following table summarizes the Level 3 fair values assigned to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date for fiscal 2019 : (in thousands) Vergokan Other Total Fair value of consideration transferred: Cash consideration $ 58,728 $ 41,641 $ 100,369 Other liability consideration — 1,400 $ 1,400 Total consideration transferred 58,728 43,041 101,769 Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash 829 1,541 2,370 Accounts receivable 8,761 8,217 16,978 Inventories 11,434 7,494 18,928 Intangible assets 12,621 16,400 29,021 Fixed assets 32,490 19,298 51,788 Accounts payable (18,716 ) (7,608 ) (26,324 ) Gain on purchase of business — (7,384 ) (7,384 ) Other 1,680 (3,412 ) (1,732 ) Net assets acquired 49,099 34,546 83,645 Excess purchase price attributed to goodwill acquired $ 9,629 $ 8,495 $ 18,124 The following table summarizes the fair value of intangible assets as of the acquisition date: Vergokan Other ($ in thousands) Fair Value Weighted Average Useful Life (Years) Fair Value Weighted Average Useful Life (Years) Customer relationships $ 10,535 12.0 $ 15,400 10.0 Other 2,086 9.0 1,000 9.0 Total intangible assets $ 12,621 $ 16,400 The purchase price allocation, intangible asset values and related estimates of useful lives for all 2019 acquisitions have been finalized as of December 27, 2019 . |

Income Taxes | 8. INCOME TAXES For the three months ended December 27, 2019 and December 28, 2018 , the Company's effective tax rate attributable to income before income taxes was 17.4% and 23.2% , respectively. For the three months ended December 27, 2019 and December 28, 2018 , the Company's income tax expense was $7,340 and $8,154 respectively. The decrease in the current period effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in the excess tax benefit associated with stock compensation . A valuation allowance has been recorded against certain net operating losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is determined to be more likely than not that these assets will not be fully realized in the foreseeable future. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon whether the Company can generate future taxable income in the appropriate character and jurisdiction to utilize the assets. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods. The Company recognizes the benefits of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns in the provision for income taxes only for those positions that we have determined are more likely than not to be realized upon examination. We record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. For the three months ended December 27, 2019 there was no change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits. For the three months ended December 27, 2019 , the Company made no additional provision for U.S. or non-U.S. income taxes for unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to basis differences in investments in subsidiaries, as the investments are essentially permanent in duration. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | 9. EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per common share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities as if all of the net earnings for the period had been distributed. The Company's participating securities consist of share-based payment awards that contain a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends and therefore are considered to participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders. Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing the net earnings allocable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings allocated to common stock by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Three months ended (in thousands, except per share data) December 27, 2019 December 28, 2018 Numerator: Net income $ 34,790 $ 26,949 Less: Undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities 857 653 Net income available to common shareholders $ 33,933 $ 26,296 Denominator: Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 47,126 46,995 Effect of dilutive securities: Non-participating employee stock options (1) 873 1,288 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 47,999 48,283 Basic earnings per share $ 0.72 $ 0.56 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.71 $ 0.54 (1) Stock options to purchase approximately 0.1 million and 0.6 million shares of common stock were outstanding during the three months ended December 27, 2019 and December 28, 2018, respectively, but were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the impact of these options would have been anti-dilutive. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company uses forward currency contracts to hedge the effects of foreign exchange relating to certain of the Company’s intercompany balances denominated in a foreign currency. These derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges by the Company and the terms of these instruments range at inception from six months to five years . Short-term forward currency contracts are recorded in either other current assets or other current liabilities and long-term forward currency contracts are recorded in either other long-term assets or other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value gains and losses are included in other income, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations . See Note 7, ''Other Income, net'' for further detail. The total notional amounts of undesignated forward currency contracts were £ 45.0 million and £ 45.0 million as of December 27, 2019 and September 30, 2019 , respectively. Cash flows associated with derivative financial instruments are recognized in the operating section of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows . The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value: December 27, 2019 September 30, 2019 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Cash equivalents $ 111,422 $ — $ — $ 72,132 $ — $ — Forward currency contracts — 297 — — 3,420 — The Company's remaining financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable whose carrying value approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows: December 27, 2019 September 30, 2019 (in thousands) Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value First Lien Term Loan Facility due December 22, 2023 $ 852,120 $ 854,677 $ 852,120 $ 853,543 In determining the approximate fair value of its long-term debt, the Company used the trading values among financial institutions, and these values fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the ABL Credit Facility approximates fair value due to it being a market-linked variable rate debt. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has obligations related to commitments to purchase certain goods. As of December 27, 2019 , such obligations were $211,046 for the rest of fiscal year 2020 and $976 for fiscal year 2021 and beyond. These amounts represent open purchase orders for materials used in production. Legal Contingencies — The Company is a defendant in a number of pending legal proceedings, some of which were inherited from its former parent, Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco"), including certain product liability claims. Several lawsuits have been filed against the Company and the Company has also received other claim demand letters alleging that the Company's anti-microbial coated steel sprinkler pipe, which the Company has not manufactured or sold for several years, is incompatible with chlorinated polyvinyl chloride and caused stress cracking in such pipe manufactured by third parties when installed together in the same sprinkler system, which the Company refers to collectively as the "Special Products Claims." After an analysis of claims experience, the Company reserved its best estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable losses related to these matters. The Company's total product liability reserves for Special Products Claims and other product liability matters were $2,577 and $2,424 as of December 27, 2019 and September 30, 2019 , respectively. As of December 27, 2019 , the Company believes that the range of reasonably possible losses for Special Products Claims and other product liabilities is between $1,000 and $8,000 . During fiscal 2019, Tyco and the Company agreed with a plaintiff to settle one Special Products Claim that was to go to trial. The Company agreed to fund the total settlement in exchange for Tyco's agreement to cap the Company's Special Products Claim deductible at $12,000 , as opposed to the $13,000 cap negotiated within the original indemnity agreement. In conjunction with the payment of that settlement, Tyco and the Company examined the Company's total Special Products Claim payments and agreed that with that settlement payment and payment of a few other legal fee invoices, all of which have now been paid, the Company had met its $12,000 deductible obligation related to these Special Products Claims. Tyco, now Johnson Controls, Inc. ("JCI"), has a contractual obligation to indemnify the Company in respect of all remaining and future claims of incompatibility between the Company's antimicrobial coated steel sprinkler pipe and CPVC pipe used in the same sprinkler system. Tyco has defended and indemnified the Company on Special Products Claims as required. At this time, the Company does not expect the outcome of the Special Products Claims proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, and the Company believes that its reserves are adequate for all remaining contingencies for Special Products Claims. In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time, the Company is subject to a number of disputes, administrative proceedings and other claims arising out of the ordinary conduct of the Company's business. These matters generally relate to disputes arising out of the use or installation of the Company's products, product liability litigation, contract disputes, patent infringement accusations, employment matters, personal injury claims and similar matters. On the basis of information currently available to the Company, it does not believe that existing proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is unpredictable, and the Company could incur judgments or enter into settlements for current or future claims that could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |

Guarantees | 17. GUARANTEES The Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $9,501 supporting workers' compensation and general liability insurance policies as of December 27, 2019 . The Company also had surety bonds primarily related to performance guarantees on supply agreements and construction contracts, and payment of duties and taxes totaling $18,498 as of December 27, 2019 . In disposing of assets or businesses, the Company often provides representations, warranties and indemnities to cover various risks including unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. The Company does not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, the Company has no reason to believe that these uncertainties would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for product performance and contract completion. In the opinion of management, such obligations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | 18. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has two operating segments, which are also its reportable segments. The Company's operating segments are organized based upon primary market channels and, in most instances, the end use of products. Through its Electrical Raceway segment, the Company manufactures products that deploy, isolate and protect a structure's electrical circuitry from the original power source to the final outlet. These products, which include electrical conduit, armored cable, cable trays, mounting systems and fittings, are critical components of the electrical infrastructure for maintenance, repair and remodel markets. The vast majority of the Company's Electrical Raceway net sales are made to electrical distributors, who then serve electrical contractors and the Company considers both to be customers. Through the MP&S segment, the Company provides products and services that frame, support and secure component parts in a broad range of structures, equipment and systems in electrical, industrial and construction applications. The Company's principal products in this segment are metal framing products and in-line galvanized mechanical tube. Through its metal framing business, the Company designs, manufactures and installs metal strut and fittings used to assemble mounting structures that support heavy equipment and electrical content in buildings and other structures. Both segments use Adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of profit and loss. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted to exclude unallocated expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, certain legal matters, transaction costs and other items, such as inventory reserves and adjustments, release of indemnified uncertain tax positions, and the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses. Intersegment transactions primarily consist of product sales at designated transfer prices on an arm's-length basis. Gross profit earned and reported within the segment is eliminated in the Company's consolidated results. Certain manufacturing and distribution expenses are allocated between the segments on a pro rata basis due to the shared nature of activities. Recorded amounts represent a proportional amount of the quantity of product produced for each segment. Certain assets, such as machinery and equipment and facilities, are not allocated to each segment despite serving both segments. These shared assets are reported within the MP&S segment. We allocate certain corporate operating expenses that directly benefit our operating segments, such as insurance and information technology, on a basis that reasonably approximates an estimate of the use of these services.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company's accounting policies and on the same basis as those financial statements included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 22, 2019, and should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities used in operating the Company's business. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of companies acquired or disposed of are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considered necessary to present a fair statement of its results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. |
Fiscal Periods | Fiscal Periods — The Company has a fiscal year that ends on September 30. It is the Company's practice to establish quarterly closings using a 4-5-4 calendar. The Company's fiscal quarters end on the last Friday in December, March and June. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates — The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and report the associated amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements A summary of recently adopted accounting guidance is as follows. Adoption dates are on the first day of the fiscal year indicated below, unless otherwise specified. ASU Description of ASU Impact to Atkore Note Adoption Date 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) The Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") requires companies to use a "right of use" lease model that assumes that each lease creates an asset (the lessee's right to use the leased asset) and a liability (the future rent payment obligations), which should be reflected on a lessee's balance sheet to fairly represent the lease transaction and the lessee's related financial obligations with terms of more than 12 months. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2020 using the modified retrospective method. See Note 2, "Leases" for further detail. 2 2020 A summary of accounting guidance not yet adopted is as follows. Effective dates are on the first day of the fiscal year indicated below, unless otherwise specified. ASU Description of ASU Impact to Atkore Effective Date 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) The ASU adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. Under evaluation. 2021 2018-14 Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans The ASU amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Under evaluation. 2021 |
Leases | The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic 842, which allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions about lease identification, classification and initial direct costs for leases entered into prior to adoption of Topic 842. Additionally, for leases with a term of 12 months or less, the Company elected the short-term lease exemption, which allowed us to not recognize right-of-use assets ("ROU") or lease liabilities for qualifying leases existing at transition and new leases we may enter into in the future. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company engages in leasing transactions to meet the needs of the business. The Company leases certain warehouses and distribution centers, office space, forklifts, vehicles and other machinery and equipment. The determination to lease, rather than purchase, an asset is primarily contingent upon capital requirements, duration of the forecasted business investment, and asset availability. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and all arrangements deemed to be leases are subject to an assessment to determine the classification between finance and operating leases. The Company's significant assumptions and judgments in determining whether a contract is or contains a lease include establishing whether the supplier has the ability to use other assets to fulfill its service or whether the terms of the agreement enable the Company to control the use of a dedicated property, plant and equipment asset during the contract term. In the majority of the Company's contracts where it must identify whether a lease is present, it is readily determinable that the Company controls the use of the assets and obtains substantially all of the economic benefit during the term of the contract. In those contracts where identification is not readily determinable, the Company has determined that the supplier has either the ability to use another asset to provide the service or the terms of the contract give the supplier the rights to operate the asset at its discretion during the term of the contract, in which case the arrangement would not constitute a lease. Right-of-use assets and lease obligations are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date. The Company’s lease agreements have terms that include both lease and non-lease components. Lease component fees are included in the present value of future minimum lease payments. Conversely, non-lease components are not subject to capitalization and are expensed as incurred. Per Topic 842, the contractual interest rate is used to calculate the present value of the future minimum lease payments. However, the majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company's significant assumption and judgments in determining the discount rate include determining the incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s incremental borrowing rates are based on the term of the lease, the economic environment of the lease and the effect of collateralization. The valuation of the ROU asset also includes lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date and initial direct costs incurred to secure the lease and is reduced for lease incentives. The lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the options. |
