Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | ||
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). | ||
Principles of Consolidation | ||
The Consolidated Financial Statements include all wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company participates in two joint ventures, one of which is accounted for using the equity method, the other has been consolidated in accordance with the consolidation accounting guidance. An analysis is performed to determine which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) with a primarily qualitative analysis. The qualitative analysis is based on identifying the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (the “power criterion”) and the obligation to absorb losses from or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (the “losses/benefit criterion”). The party that meets both these criteria is deemed to have a controlling financial interest. The party with the controlling financial interest is considered to be the primary beneficiary and as a result is required to consolidate the VIE. The Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture in Hong Kong, established as Hubbell Asia Limited (“HAL”). The principal objective of HAL is to manage the operations of its wholly-owned manufacturing company in China. Under the accounting guidance, the Company is the primary beneficiary of HAL and as a result consolidates HAL. This determination is based on the fact that HAL’s sole business purpose is to manufacture product exclusively for the Company (the power criterion) and the Company is financially responsible for ensuring HAL maintains a fixed operating margin (the losses/benefit criterion). The consolidation of HAL is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | ||
Use of Estimates | ||
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from the estimates that are used. | ||
Revenue Recognition | ||
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable and collection is probable. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped and title and risk of loss have been transferred. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time of shipment. The Company recognizes less than one percent of total annual consolidated net revenue from post shipment obligations and service contracts, primarily within the Electrical segment. Revenue is recognized under these contracts when the service is completed and all conditions of sale have been met. In addition, within the Electrical segment, certain businesses sell large and complex equipment which requires construction and assembly and occasionally has long lead times. It is customary in these businesses to require a portion of the selling price to be paid in advance of construction. These payments are treated as deferred revenue and are classified in Other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Once the equipment is shipped to the customer and meets the revenue recognition criteria, the deferred revenue is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. | ||
Further, certain of our businesses provide for sales discounts and allowances based on sales volumes, specific programs and customer deductions, as is customary in the electrical products industry. These items primarily relate to sales volume incentives, special pricing allowances, and returned goods. Sales volume incentives represent rebates with specific sales volume targets for specific customers. Certain distributors qualify for price rebates by subsequently reselling the Company’s products into select channels of end users. Following a distributor’s sale of an eligible product, the distributor submits a claim for a price rebate. Customers also have a right to return goods under certain circumstances which are reasonably estimable by affected businesses. Customer returns have historically ranged from 1%-3% of gross sales. These arrangements require us to estimate at the time of sale the amounts that should not be recorded as revenue as these amounts are not expected to be collected from customers. The Company principally relies on historical experience, specific customer agreements and anticipated future trends to estimate these amounts at the time of shipment. | ||
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs | ||
The Company records shipping and handling costs as part of Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Any amounts billed to customers for reimbursement of shipping and handling are included in Net sales in the Consolidated Statement of Income. | ||
Foreign Currency Translation | ||
The assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year, and income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on the translated amounts of foreign currency assets and liabilities are included as translation adjustments in Accumulated other comprehensive loss within Hubbell shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations. | ||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||
The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities to the company of three months or less. | ||
Investments | ||
Investments in debt and equity securities are classified by individual security as available-for-sale, held-to-maturity or trading investments. Our available-for-sale investments, consisting of municipal bonds, are carried on the balance sheet at fair value with current period adjustments to carrying value recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss within Hubbell shareholders’ equity, net of tax. Realized gains and losses are recorded in income in the period of sale. The Company’s trading investments are carried on the balance sheet at fair value and consist primarily of debt and equity mutual funds. Gains and losses associated with these trading investments are reflected in the results of operations. The Company did not have any investments classified as held-to-maturity as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. | ||
Accounts Receivable and Allowances | ||
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an estimated amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The allowance is calculated based upon a combination of historical write-off experience, fixed percentages applied to aging categories and specific identification based upon a review of past due balances and problem accounts. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is determined that internal collection efforts should no longer be pursued. The Company also maintains a reserve for credit memos, cash discounts and product returns which are principally calculated based upon historical experience, specific customer agreements, as well as anticipated future trends. | ||
Inventories | ||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Approximately 74% of total net inventory value is determined utilizing the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory accounting. The cost of foreign inventories and certain domestic inventories is determined utilizing average cost or first-in, first-out (FIFO) methods of inventory accounting. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory are provided based on current assessments about future demand compared to on-hand quantities. | ||
Property, Plant, and Equipment | ||
Property, plant, and equipment values are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair expenditures that do not significantly increase the life of an asset are charged to expense when incurred. Property, plant, and equipment placed in service prior to January 1, 1999 are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, principally using accelerated methods. Assets placed in service subsequent to January 1, 1999 are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, using straight-line methods. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term. Gains and losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are included in Operating income in the Consolidated Statement of Income. | ||
Capitalized Computer Software Costs | ||
Capitalized computer software costs, net of amortization, were $12.7 million and $10.9 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This balance is reflected in Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Capitalized computer software is for internal use and costs primarily consist of purchased materials and services. Software is amortized on a straight-line basis over appropriate periods, generally five years. The Company recorded amortization expense of $4.3 million in both 2014 and 2013, and $3.5 million in 2012 relating to capitalized computer software. | ||
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | ||
Goodwill represents purchase price in excess of fair values of the underlying net assets of acquired companies. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are subject to annual impairment testing using the specific guidance and criteria described in the accounting guidance. The Company performs its goodwill impairment testing as of April 1st of each year, unless circumstances dictate the need for more frequent assessments. The accounting guidance provides entities an option of performing a qualitative assessment before performing a quantitative analysis. If the entity determines, on the basis of certain qualitative factors, that it is more-likely-than-not that the goodwill is not impaired, the entity would not need to proceed to the two step goodwill impairment testing process as prescribed in the guidance. The Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative analysis. Step 1 compares the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to their carrying values. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Step 2 must be completed to quantify the amount of impairment. | ||
Goodwill impairment testing requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. The Company uses internal discounted cash flow estimates to determine fair value. These cash flow estimates are derived from historical experience and future long-term business plans and the application of an appropriate discount rate. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company’s estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units are reasonable when compared to the Company’s market capitalization on the valuation date. | ||
As of April 1, 2014, the impairment testing resulted in implied fair values for each reporting unit that exceeded the reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill. The Company did not have any reporting units at risk of failing Step 1 of the impairment test as the excess of the estimated fair value over carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value) ranged from approximately 100% to approximately 400% for the respective reporting units. Additionally, the Company did not have any reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The Company has not recorded any goodwill impairments since the initial adoption of the accounting guidance in 2002. | ||
The Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of patents, tradenames and customer relationships. Intangible assets with definite lives are being amortized over periods generally ranging from 5-30 years. These definite lived intangibles are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the asset. The Company did not record any impairments related to its definite lived intangible assets in 2014, 2013 or 2012. The Company also has some tradenames that are considered to be indefinite-lived intangible assets. These indefinite-lived are not amortized and are tested for impairment annually, unless circumstances dictate the need for more frequent assessment. | ||
The accounting guidance related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment provides entities an option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If the entity determines, on the basis of certain qualitative factors, that it is more-likely-than-not that the asset is not impaired, the entity would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset. The Company performed the qualitative assessment, which resulted in no impairment in 2014, 2013 or 2012 . | ||
Other Long-Lived Assets | ||
The Company reviews depreciable long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. If such a change in circumstances occurs, the related estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition is compared to the carrying amount. If the sum of the expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded. The impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of impaired assets is determined using expected cash flow estimates, quoted market prices when available and appraisals as appropriate. The Company did not record any material impairment charges in 2014, 2013 or 2012. | ||
Accrued Insurance | ||
The Company retains a significant portion of the risks associated with workers’ compensation, medical, automobile and general liability insurance. The Company estimates self-insurance liabilities using a number of factors, including historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. The accrued liabilities associated with these programs are based on the Company’s estimate of the ultimate costs to settle known claims as well as claims incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. The Company periodically reviews the assumptions with a third party actuary to determine the adequacy of these self-insurance reserves. | ||
Income Taxes | ||
The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. The IRS and other tax authorities routinely review the Company’s tax returns. These audits can involve complex issues which may require an extended period of time to resolve. The Company makes adequate provisions for best estimates of exposures on previously filed tax returns. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities by applying the currently enacted statutory tax rates in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes. The effect of a change in statutory tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Additionally, deferred tax assets are required to be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company uses factors to assess the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets such as the forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. | ||
In addition, the accounting guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For any amount of benefit to be recognized, it must be determined that it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The amount of benefit to be recognized is based on the Company’s assertion of the most likely outcome resulting from an examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. Companies are required to reflect only those tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to be sustained. See also Note 12 — Income Taxes. | ||
Research and Development | ||
Research and development expenditures represent costs to discover and/or apply new knowledge in developing a new product, process, or in bringing about a significant improvement to an existing product or process. Research and development expenses are recorded as a component of Cost of goods sold. Expenses for research and development were approximately 2% of Cost of goods sold for each of the years 2014, 2013 or 2012. | ||
Retirement Benefits | ||
The Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans for some of its U.S. and foreign employees. The accounting guidance for retirement benefits requires the Company to recognize the funded status of its defined benefit pension and postretirement plans as an asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations that have not yet been included in net periodic benefit cost as of the end of the year are recognized as components of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, within Hubbell shareholders’ equity. The Company’s policy is to fund pension costs within the ranges prescribed by applicable regulations. In addition to providing defined benefit pension benefits, the Company provides health care and life insurance benefits for some of its active and retired employees. The Company’s policy is to fund these benefits through insurance premiums or as actual expenditures are made. See also Note 10 — Retirement Benefits. | ||
Earnings Per Share | ||
The earnings per share accounting guidance requires use of the two-class method in determining earnings per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Restricted stock granted by the Company is considered a participating security since it contains a non-forfeitable right to dividends. Basic earnings per share is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Earnings per diluted share is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding of common stock plus the incremental shares outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options, stock appreciation rights and performance shares. See also Note 18 — Earnings Per Share. | ||
Stock-Based Compensation | ||
The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of all stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over their respective requisite service periods (generally equal to an award’s vesting period), except for certain restricted stock awards granted in 2013 with a performance condition, which are expensed using the graded vesting attribution method. A stock-based award is considered vested for expense attribution purposes when the retention of the award is no longer contingent on providing subsequent service. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation cost immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible individuals or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if less than the stated vesting period. The expense is recorded in Cost of goods sold and S&A expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income based on the recipients’ respective functions within the organization. | ||
The Company records deferred tax assets for awards that will result in deductions on its tax returns, based upon the amount of compensation cost recognized and the statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which it will receive a deduction. Differences between the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and the actual tax deduction reported in the Company’s tax return are recorded to Additional paid-in capital to the extent that previously recognized credits to paid-in capital are still available. See also Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation. | ||
Derivatives | ||
In order to limit financial risk in the management of its assets, liabilities and debt, the Company may use derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency hedges, commodity hedges, interest rate hedges and interest rate swaps. All derivative financial instruments are matched with an existing Company asset, liability or proposed transaction. The Company does not speculate or use leverage when trading a derivative product. Market value gains or losses on the derivative financial instrument are recognized in income when the effects of the related price changes of the underlying asset or liability are recognized in income. See Note 14 – Fair Value Measurement for more information regarding our derivative instruments. | ||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ||
In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance to eliminate the concept of extraordinary items as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 2015 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. | ||
In November 2014, the FASB issued new guidance to clarify how current GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. | ||
In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance requiring an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and if those conditions exist, the required disclosures. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. | ||
In June 2014, the FASB issued new guidance to resolve diverse accounting treatment for share based awards in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. | ||
In May 2014, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance that supersedes the existing revenue recognition guidance and most industry-specific guidance applicable to revenue recognition. According to the new guidance an entity will apply a principles-based five step model to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and early application is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements. | ||
In April 2014, the FASB issued new guidance changing the criteria for determining which disposals of components of an entity can be presented as discontinued operations and modifying the related disclosure requirements. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of assets as held for sale after the effective date and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. | ||
In July 2013, the FASB amended its guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry-forward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists. This amendment was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2014 and did not have a material impact on its financial statements. |

All of the goodwill associated with the FCA acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. | ||||
All of these business acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill relates to a number of factors built into the purchase price, including the future earnings and cash flow potential of the businesses as well as the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies they bring to the Company’s existing operations. | ||||
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition related to these transactions (in millions): | ||||
Tangible assets acquired | $ | 71.3 | ||

The Company has funded and unfunded non-contributory U.S. and foreign defined benefit pension plans. Benefits under these plans are generally provided based on either years of service and final average pay or a specified dollar amount per year of service. The U.S. defined benefit pension plan has been closed to new participants since 2004, while the Canadian and UK defined benefit pension plans have been closed to new entrants since 2006 and 2007, respectively. These U.S., Canadian and UK employees are eligible instead for defined contribution plans. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company also has a number of health care and life insurance benefit plans covering eligible employees who reached retirement age while working for the Company. These benefits have been discontinued for substantially all future retirees. The Company anticipates future cost-sharing changes for its discontinued plans that are consistent with past practices. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for all of its plans. There were no amendments made in 2014 or 2013 to the defined benefit pension plans which had a significant impact on the total pension benefit obligation.

The Company also maintains six defined contribution pension plans. The total cost of these plans was $12.9 million in 2014, $11.2 million in 2013 and $10.5 million in 2012, excluding the employer match for the 401(k) plan. This cost is not included in the above net periodic benefit cost for the defined benefit pension plans. | ||||||||||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company participated in three multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover its union represented employees. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 one of the three multiemployer defined benefit pension plans in which the Company participates is considered to be less than 65 percent funded. The Company’s total contributions to these plans were $0.8 million in 2014, $0.9 million in 2013 and $0.7 million in 2012. These contributions represent more than five percent of the total contributions made to each of these plans during the past three years. After assessing future required contributions and/or the potential liabilities associated with withdrawing from these plans, the Company has concluded that none of these plans are significant. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Assumptions | ||||||||||||||||||||
The following assumptions were used to determine the projected benefit obligations at the measurement date and the net periodic benefit cost for the year: | ||||||||||||||||||||

Rate of compensation increase | 3.18 | % | 3.11 | % | 3.53 | % | 4.5 | % | 3 | % | 3.5 | % | ||||||||
At the end of each year, the Company determines the appropriate expected return on assets for each plan based upon its strategic asset allocation (see discussion below). In making this determination, the Company utilizes expected returns for each asset class based upon current market conditions and expected risk premiums for each asset class. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company also determines the discount rate to be used to calculate the present value of pension plan liabilities at the end of each year. The discount rate for the Company’s U.S. and Canadian pension plans is determined by matching the expected cash flows associated with its benefit obligations to a yield curve based on high quality, fixed income debt instruments with maturities that closely match the expected funding period of its pension liabilities. This yield curve is derived using a bond matching approach which incorporates a selection of bonds that align with the Company’s projected benefit obligations. As of December 31, 2014, the Company used a discount rate of 4.3% for its U.S. pension plans compared to a discount rate of 5.1% used in 2013. For its Canadian pension plan, the Company used a discount rate of 3.95% as of December 31, 2014 compared to the 4.75% discount rate used in 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||
For its UK pension plan the discount rate was derived using a yield curve fitted to the yields on AA bonds in the Barclays Capital Sterling Aggregate Corporate Index and uses sample plan cash flow data as a proxy to plan specific liability cash flows. The derived discount rate is the single discount rate equivalent to discounting these liability cash flows at the term-dependent spot rate of AA corporate bonds. This methodology resulted in a December 31, 2014 discount rate for the UK pension plan of 3.7% as compared to a discount rate of 4.6% used in 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||
In 2014 we changed the mortality table used to calculate the present value of our pension plan liabilities from RP-2000 to the RP-2000 with generational projection using Scale BB-2D. This mortality table was chosen after considering alternative tables including the RP-2014 projected with Scale MP-2014. We chose the RP-2000 with Scale BB-2D because it resulted in the closest match to the plans’ actual experience over the period 2009-2013. This change resulted in an approximately $40 million increase in the projected benefit obligation of our U.S. defined benefit pension plans upon remeasurement at December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The rate of compensation increase assumption reflects the Company’s actual experience and best estimate of future increases. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The assumed health care cost trend rates used to determine the projected postretirement benefit obligation are as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||

At the end of each year, the Company estimates the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets based on the strategic asset allocation for its plans. In making this determination, the Company utilizes expected rates of return for each asset class based upon current market conditions and expected risk premiums for each asset class. The Company has written investment policies and asset allocation guidelines for its domestic and foreign pension plans. In establishing these policies, the Company has considered that its various pension plans are a major retirement vehicle for most plan participants and has acted to discharge its fiduciary responsibilities with regard to the plans solely in the interest of such participants and their beneficiaries. The goal underlying the establishment of the investment policies is to provide that pension assets shall be invested in a prudent manner and so that, together with the expected contributions to the plans, the funds will be sufficient to meet the obligations of the plans as they become due. To achieve this result, the Company conducts a periodic strategic asset allocation study to form a basis for the allocation of pension assets between various asset categories. Specific policy benchmark percentages are assigned to each asset category with minimum and maximum ranges established for each. The assets are then tactically managed within these ranges. Equity securities include investments in large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap companies located inside and outside the United States. Fixed income securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, mortgage-backed securities and US Treasuries. Derivative investments include futures contracts used by the plan to adjust the level of its investments within an asset allocation category. All futures contracts are 100% supported by cash or cash equivalent investments. At no time may derivatives be utilized to leverage the asset portfolio. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Equity securities include Company common stock in the amounts of $37.6 million (5.2% of total domestic plan assets) and $35.0 million (5.3% of total domestic plan assets) at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||

In November 2010, the Company completed a public debt offering for $300 million of long-term, senior, unsecured notes maturing in November 2022 and bearing interest at a fixed rate of 3.625%. Prior to the issuance of the 2022 Notes, the Company entered into a forward interest rate lock which resulted in a $1.6 million loss. This amount was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax and is being amortized over the life of the 2022 Notes. | ||||||||
In May 2008, the Company completed a public offering of $300 million long-term senior, unsecured notes maturing in May 2018. The 2018 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.95%. Prior to the issuance of the 2018 Notes, the Company entered into a forward interest rate lock which resulted in a $1.2 million gain. This amount was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and is being amortized over the life of the notes. | ||||||||
The 2018 Notes and the 2022 Notes are both fixed rate indebtedness, are callable at any time with a make whole premium and are only subject to accelerated payment prior to maturity in the event of a default under the indenture governing the 2018 Notes and 2022 Notes, as modified by the supplemental indentures creating such series, or upon a change in control event as defined in such indenture. The Company was in compliance with all of its covenants as of December 31, 2014. | ||||||||
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $1.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of short-term debt outstanding. During 2013, the Company entered into an credit agreement for a 5.0 million Brazilian reais line of credit to support its Brazilian operations. This line of credit expires in October 2016; however, an undrawn balance is subject to an annual review by the lender. This line is not subject to annual commitment fees. At December 31, 2014, 3.0 million Brazilian reais (equivalent to $1.1 million) was outstanding. There were no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2013 under this line of credit. Short-term debt is also comprised of outstanding borrowings under existing lines of credit used to support its operations in China. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 there were 1.7 million and 2.1 million Chinese renminbi, respectively, (equivalent to $0.3 million) of borrowings outstanding under this line of credit. | ||||||||
Other information related to short-term debt at December 31, is summarized below: | ||||||||

As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s $500 million revolving credit facility had not been drawn against. The credit facility, which serves as a backup to our commercial paper program, was scheduled to expire in October 2016. In March 2013, the facility was amended to extend the maturity date to March 2018. The interest rate applicable to borrowing under the credit agreement is generally either the prime rate or a surcharge over LIBOR. The single financial covenant in the $500 million credit facility, which the Company is in compliance with, requires that total debt not exceed 55% of total capitalization. Annual commitment fees to support availability under the credit facility are not material. | ||||||||
The Company also maintains other lines of credit that are primarily used to support the issuance of letters of credit. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary from country to country, depending on local market conditions. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 these lines totaled $54.6 million and $60.4 million, respectively, of which $27.1 million and $22.9 million was utilized to support letters of credit and the remaining amount was unused. The annual commitment fees associated with these lines of credit are not material. | ||||||||
Interest and fees paid related to total indebtedness was $29.4 million, $29.7 million and $29.8 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. |

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a total of $30.6 million of Federal, State (net of Federal benefit) and foreign (fully valued) tax credit carryforwards, available to offset future income taxes. As of December 31, 2014, $9.1 million of the tax credits may be carried forward indefinitely while the remaining $21.5 million will begin to expire at various times in 2015 through 2030. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had recorded tax benefits totaling $45.8 million for Federal, State and foreign net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”). As of December 31, 2014, $17.7 million of NOLs may be carried forward indefinitely while the remaining $28.1 million will begin to expire at various times in 2022 through 2031. The tax benefit related to a portion of these NOLs has been adjusted to reflect an “ownership change” pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, which imposes an annual limitation on the utilization of pre-acquisition operating losses. The Company has recorded a net valuation allowance of $34.3 million for the portion of the foreign tax and state tax credit carryforwards and foreign NOLs that the Company anticipates will expire prior to utilization. | ||||||||||

Cash payments of income taxes were $125.4 million, $127.2 million and $113.2 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. | ||||||||||
The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. The IRS and other tax authorities routinely audit the Company’s tax returns. These audits can involve complex issues which may require an extended period of time to resolve. During 2014 the IRS completed an exam of the Company’s 2010 - 2012 Federal income tax returns. The Company is currently not under Federal exam for any open tax year. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state, local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2007. | ||||||||||
The following tax years, by major jurisdiction, are still subject to examination by taxing authorities: | ||||||||||

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions): | ||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||
Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year | $ | 14.8 | $ | 13.5 | $ | 27.6 | ||||
Additions based on tax positions relating to the current year | 2.9 | 2.2 | 1.8 | |||||||
Reductions based on expiration of statute of limitations | (1.2 | ) | (1.5 | ) | (9.6 | ) | ||||
Additions to tax positions relating to previous years | 9.5 | 2.1 | 0.8 | |||||||
Settlements | (4.4 | ) | (1.5 | ) | (7.1 | ) | ||||
TOTAL UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS | $ | 21.6 | $ | 14.8 | $ | 13.5 | ||||
Included in the balance at December 31, 2014 are $17.8 million of tax positions which, if in the future are determined to be recognizable, would affect the annual effective income tax rate. Additionally, there are $0.5 million of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty as to the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the applicable taxing authority to an earlier period. The increase in the unrecognized tax positions related to prior years is primarily due to certain acquisitions, which the Company expects to recover any pre acquisition taxes from the sellers, and certain foreign jurisdiction tax issues. It is reasonably possible that in the next twelve months, because of changes in facts and circumstances, the unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease. The Company estimates a possible decrease of up to $1.9 million within the next twelve months due to the possible settlements of state exposures. The Company has classified the amount of unrecognized tax positions that are expected to settle within the next twelve months as a current liability. | ||||||||||
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with the underpayment of income taxes within Provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company recognized expense (benefit), before federal tax impact, related to interest and penalties of approximately $1.7 million in 2014, $(0.2) million in 2013 and $(0.5) million 2012. The Company had $2.9 million and $1.2 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. | ||||||||||
The consolidated effective income tax rate varied from the United States federal statutory income tax rate for the years ended December 31, as follows: | ||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||
Federal statutory income tax rate | 35 | % | 35 | % | 35 | % | ||||
State income taxes, net of federal benefit | 2 | 2.1 | 1.8 | |||||||
Foreign income taxes | (2.1 | ) | (3.6 | ) | (3.4 | ) | ||||
Other, net | (2.3 | ) | (3.1 | ) | (1.8 | ) | ||||
CONSOLIDATED EFFECTIVE INCOME TAX RATE | 32.6 | % | 30.4 | % | 31.6 | % | ||||
The foreign income tax benefit shown is primarily due to lower statutory rates in foreign jurisdictions compared to the Federal statutory rate. |

Concentrations of Credit Risk: Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of trade receivables, cash equivalents and investments. The Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business to its customers. Due to the diversity of its product lines, the Company has an extensive customer base including electrical distributors and wholesalers, electric utilities, equipment manufacturers, electrical contractors, telecommunication companies and retail and hardware outlets. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total sales in any year during the three years ended December 31, 2014. However, the Company’s top ten customers account for approximately one-third of its net sales. As part of its ongoing procedures, the Company monitors the credit worthiness of its customers. Bad debt write-offs have historically been minimal. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and limits the amount of exposure in any one institution. | ||
Fair Value: The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, bank borrowings, accounts payable and accruals approximate their fair values given the immediate or short-term nature of these items.

Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement | |||||||||||||
Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The FASB fair value measurement guidance established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three broad levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: | ||||||||||||||
Level 1 - | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |||||||||||||
Level 2 - | Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly | |||||||||||||
Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring a company to develop its own assumptions | |||||||||||||
The following tables show, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions): | ||||||||||||||

(a) | Money market funds are included in Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. | |||||||||||||
The 2013 table above has been revised due to a misstatement in the assignment of $38.6 million of available-for-sale investments that were reported in Level 1. The Company evaluated the materiality of this misstatement and concluded it was not material to the prior period financial statements. | ||||||||||||||
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the Level 2 fair values were as follows: | ||||||||||||||
Forward exchange contracts – The fair value of forward exchange contracts were based on quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date. | ||||||||||||||
Municipal bonds – The fair value of available-for-sale investments in municipal bonds is based on observable market-based inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. | ||||||||||||||
During 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities in or out of Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities that fell within the Level 3 hierarchy. | ||||||||||||||
Investments | ||||||||||||||
At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $43.0 million and $38.6 million, respectively, of municipal bonds classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company also had $8.9 million and $7.3 million of trading securities at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These investments are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses associated with available-for-sale securities are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, while unrealized gains and losses associated with trading securities are reflected in the results of operations. | ||||||||||||||
Deferred compensation plan | ||||||||||||||
The Company offers certain employees the opportunity to participate in non-qualified deferred compensation plans. A participant’s deferrals are invested in a variety of participant-directed debt and equity mutual funds that are classified as trading securities. During 2014 and 2013, the Company purchased $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of trading securities related to these deferred compensation plans. As a result of participant distributions, the Company sold $0.2 million of these trading securities in 2014. There were no distributions or sales in 2013. The unrealized gains and losses associated with these trading securities are directly offset by the changes in the fair value of the underlying deferred compensation plan obligation. | ||||||||||||||
Derivatives | ||||||||||||||
In order to limit financial risk in the management of its assets, liabilities and debt, the Company may use derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency hedges, commodity hedges, interest rate hedges and interest rate swaps. All derivative financial instruments are matched with an existing Company asset, liability or proposed transaction. Market value gains or losses on the derivative financial instrument are recognized in income when the effects of the related price changes of the underlying asset or liability are recognized in income. | ||||||||||||||
The fair values of derivative instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows (in millions): | ||||||||||||||
Asset/(Liability) Derivatives | ||||||||||||||

Forward exchange contracts | ||||||||||||||
In 2014 and 2013, the Company entered into a series of forward exchange contracts to purchase U.S. dollars in order to hedge its exposure to fluctuating rates of exchange on anticipated inventory purchases by one of its Canadian subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had 18 individual forward exchange contracts for a notional $1.0 million each, which have various expiration dates through December 2015. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with the accounting guidance for derivatives. | ||||||||||||||
Interest rate locks | ||||||||||||||
Prior to the issuance of long-term notes in 2010 and 2008, the Company entered into forward interest rate locks to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in treasury rates. The 2010 interest rate lock resulted in a $1.6 million loss while the 2008 interest rate lock resulted in a $1.2 million gain. These amounts were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and are being amortized over the life of the respective notes. The amortization associated with these interest rate locks is reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The amortization reclassification for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was not material. As of both December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 there was $0.4 million of net unamortized losses reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. | ||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the results of cash flow hedging relationships for years ended December 31, (in millions): | ||||||||||||||

There was no material hedge ineffectiveness with respect to the forward exchange cash flow hedges during 2014, 2013 and 2012. | ||||||||||||||
Long-term Debt | ||||||||||||||
The total carrying value of long-term debt as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $597.6 million and $597.2 million, respectively, net of unamortized discount. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the estimated fair value of the long-term debt was $645.1 million and $631.0 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices. The Company’s long-term debt falls within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |

Legal and Environmental | ||
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. These proceedings include claims for damages arising out of use of the Company’s products, intellectual property, workers’ compensation and environmental matters. The Company is self-insured up to specified limits for certain types of claims, including product liability and workers’ compensation, and is fully self-insured for certain other types of claims, including environmental and intellectual property matters. The Company recognizes a liability for any contingency that in management’s judgment is probable of occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. We continually reassess the likelihood of adverse judgments and outcomes in these matters, as well as estimated ranges of possible losses based upon an analysis of each matter which includes consideration of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. | ||
In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company settled litigation involving Powerweb Energy, Inc. (“Powerweb”). The lawsuit had alleged claims arising from the Company’s development and sale of wiHUBB wireless lighting technology. The Company believes that it had meritorious defenses against the claims and had vigorously defended itself in the matter. During the third quarter of 2014 the parties engaged in settlement discussions and the Company increased the accrual by $4.0 million based on those discussions. In view of several considerations including the inherent uncertainty of litigation, and the expense of a trial, the Company settled the litigation. The settlement payment made by the Company did not exceed the amounts previously reserved for the litigation. | ||
The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations which may require that it investigate and remediate the effects of potential contamination associated with past and present operations as well as those acquired through business combinations. Environmental liabilities are recorded when remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The Company continues to monitor these environmental matters and revalues its liabilities as necessary. Total environmental liabilities were $13.9 million and $12.3 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | ||
The Company accounts for conditional asset retirement and environmental obligations in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The accounting guidance defines “conditional asset retirement obligation” as a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the Company. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Asset retirement obligations were not material as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. | ||
Leases | ||
Total rental expense under operating leases was $24.7 million in 2014, $23.2 million in 2013 and $21.9 million in 2012. The minimum annual rentals on non-cancelable, long-term, operating leases in effect at December 31, 2014 are expected to approximate $13.3 million in 2015, $10.4 million in 2016, $6.8 million in 2017, $5.3 million in 2018, $3.5 million in 2019 and $13.4 million thereafter. The Company’s leases primarily consist of operating leases for buildings or equipment. The terms for building leases typically range from 5-25 years with 5-10 year renewal periods. |

For accounting purposes, the Company treats repurchased shares as constructively retired when acquired and accordingly charges the purchase price against Common stock par value, Additional paid-in capital and Retained earnings to the extent required. Shares may be repurchased through the Company’s stock repurchase program, acquired by the Company from employees under the Hubbell Incorporated Stock Option Plan for Key Employees (the “Option Plan”) or surrendered to the Company by employees in settlement of their minimum tax liability on vesting of restricted shares and performance shares under the Hubbell Incorporated 2005 Incentive Award Plan as amended and restated, (the “Award Plan”). Class A Common shares have twenty votes per share, while Class B Common shares have one vote per share. In addition, the Company has 5.9 million authorized shares of preferred stock; no preferred shares are outstanding. | |||||||
In 2014 the Company identified a misstatement related to the accounting for repurchases of Class A Common Stock prior to 2012. The repurchase price in excess of par value was applied to Additional paid-in capital, however, a portion of the repurchase price should have been applied to Retained earnings. As a result, the Company increased Additional paid-in capital by $192 million and decreased Retained earnings for the periods presented herein. The misstatement had no impact on total shareholders' equity. The Company evaluated the materiality of this misstatement and concluded that it was not material to all prior periods. | |||||||
The Company has an amended and restated Rights Agreement under which holders of Class A Common Stock have Class A Rights and holders of Class B Common Stock have Class B Rights (collectively, “Rights”). These Rights become exercisable after a specified period of time only if a person or group of affiliated persons acquires beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Company or announces or commences a tender or exchange offer that would result in the offeror acquiring beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Company. Each Class A Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), without par value, at a price of $175.00 per one one-thousandth of a share. Similarly, each Class B Right entitles the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), without par value, at a price of $175.00 per one one-thousandth of a share. The Rights may be redeemed by the Company for one cent per Right prior to the day a person or group of affiliated persons acquires 20 percent or more of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Company. The Rights will expire in December 31, 2018 (the “Final Expiration Date”), unless the Final Expiration Date is advanced or extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company. | |||||||
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled, when, as and if declared, to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of $10.00 per share but will be entitled to an aggregate dividend of 1,000 times the dividend declared per share of Common Stock. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation payment of $100 per share (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends) but will be entitled to an aggregate payment of 1,000 times the payment made per share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, respectively. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will have 20,000 votes and each share of Series B Preferred Stock will have 1,000 votes, voting together with the Common Stock. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation, transfer of assets or earning power or other transaction in which shares of Common Stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of Common Stock. These rights are protected by customary antidilution provisions. | |||||||
Upon the occurrence of certain events or transactions specified in the Rights Agreement, each holder of a Right will have the right to receive, upon exercise, that number of shares of the Company’s common stock or the acquiring company’s shares having a market value equal to twice the exercise price. | |||||||

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had various stock-based awards outstanding which were issued to executives and other key employees. The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of all stock-based awards to employees over their respective requisite service periods (generally equal to an award’s vesting period), net of estimated forfeitures. A stock-based award is considered vested for expense attribution purposes when the employee’s retention of the award is no longer contingent on providing subsequent service. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation cost immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible individuals or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if less than the stated vesting period. | ||||||||||||||
The Company’s long-term incentive program for awarding stock-based compensation uses a combination of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), and performance shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Award Plan. Under the Award Plan, the Company may authorize up to 6.9 million shares of Class B Common Stock in settlement of restricted stock, performance shares, SARs or any-post 2004 grants of stock options. The Company issues new shares for settlement of any stock-based awards. In 2014, the Company granted stock-based awards using a combination of restricted stock, SARs and performance shares. | ||||||||||||||
In 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company recorded $16.4 million, $14.3 million and $15.8 million of stock-based compensation costs, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in 2014 was $7.8 million, $8.3 million during 2013, and $17.6 million during 2012. The net tax windfall recorded as a result of exercise or vesting (depending on the type of award) was $9.2 million, $8.4 million, and $15.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, there was $26.5 million, pretax, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized through 2017. | ||||||||||||||
Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in S&A expense as well as Cost of goods sold. Of the total 2014 expense, $15.7 million was recorded to S&A expense and $0.7 million was recorded to Cost of goods sold. In 2013 and 2012, $13.4 million and $15.1 million, respectively, was recorded to S&A expense and $0.9 million in 2013 and $0.7 million in 2012, was recorded to Cost of goods sold. Stock-based compensation costs capitalized to inventory was $0.2 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012. | ||||||||||||||
Each of the compensation arrangements is discussed below. | ||||||||||||||
Restricted Stock | ||||||||||||||
The Company issues several types of restricted stock awards all of which are considered outstanding at the time of grant, as the award holders are entitled to dividends and voting rights. Unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities in computing earnings per share. Restricted stock granted is not transferable and is subject to forfeiture in the event of the recipient’s termination of employment prior to vesting | ||||||||||||||
Restricted stock Issued to Employees - Service Condition | ||||||||||||||
Service-based restricted stock awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The restricted stock vests in one-third increments annually for three years on each anniversary of the date of grant. The restricted stock fair values are measured using the average between the high and low trading prices of the Company’s Class B Common Stock on the most recent trading day immediately preceding the grant date (“measurement date”). | ||||||||||||||
Restricted stock Issued to Employees - Market Condition | ||||||||||||||
Certain restricted stock awards issued in 2014 will vest subject to the achievement of a market-based condition. The awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period which starts on the date of the grant and ends upon the completion of the performance period. Expense is recognized irrespective of the market condition being achieved. | ||||||||||||||
The market-based condition associated with the awards is the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) compared to the TSR generated by the companies that comprise the S&P Capital Goods 900 Index and is measured over a three year performance period beginning on January 1, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2017. The awards will vest contingent on achievement of the market condition, service through the requisite service period or to the date an employee becomes retirement-eligible, and approval by the Company's Compensation Committee. If the market-based condition is achieved, the awards will vest at 100% of the restricted stock awards granted. If the market-based condition is not achieved the awards will not vest. The fair value of these awards was determined based upon a lattice model. | ||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of these awards issued in 2014: | ||||||||||||||
Stock Price on Measurement Date | Dividend Yield | Expected Volatility | Risk Free Interest Rate | Expected Term | Weighted Avg. Grant Date Fair Value | |||||||||
2014 | $ | 106.44 | 2.1 | % | 22.7 | % | 1 | % | 3 Years | $ | 95.96 | |||
Restricted stock Issued to Employees - Performance Condition | ||||||||||||||
Certain restricted stock issued in 2013 will vest subject to the achievement of an annual performance-based condition. The awards vest in one-third increments for each of the years ending December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, contingent upon meeting the annual performance condition, and approval by the Company’s Compensation Committee. These awards are expensed on a graded basis over the requisite service period. The probability of vesting is reassessed each reporting period and compensation cost is adjusted accordingly. The fair value of the award is measured based upon the average between the high and low trading prices of the Company’s Class B Common Stock on the measurement date. | ||||||||||||||
The performance condition for the year ending December 31, 2014 was met and 8,586 shares vested and were approved by the Compensation Committee in February 2015. The fair value of the shares at vesting was $1.0 million. | ||||||||||||||
Restricted Stock Issued to Non-employee Directors | ||||||||||||||
In 2014, 2013, and 2012, each non-employee director received a grant of Class B Common Stock. These grants were made on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders and vested or will vest at the following year’s annual meeting of shareholders, upon a change of control or termination of service by reason of death.

The aggregated intrinsic value of SARs exercised during 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $19.4 million, $16.4 million and $32.5 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
The fair value of each SAR award was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. | ||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the SARs granted during the years 2014, 2013, and 2012: | ||||||||||||||
Expected Dividend Yield | Expected Volatility | Risk Free Interest Rate | Expected Term | Weighted Avg. Grant Date Fair Value of 1 SAR | ||||||||||
2014 | 2 | % | 21.8 | % | 1.6 | % | 5.3 Years | $ | 18.42 | |||||

2012 | 2 | % | 29.4 | % | 0.7 | % | 5.5 Years | $ | 18.13 | |||||
The expected dividend yield was calculated by dividing the Company’s expected annual dividend by the average stock price for the past three months. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock for a period consistent with the expected term. The expected term of SARs granted was based upon historical exercise behavior of stock options and SARs. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the award. | ||||||||||||||
Performance Shares | ||||||||||||||
Performance shares represent the right to receive a share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock after a three year period subject to the achievement of certain market or performance conditions established by the Company’s Compensation Committee. Partial vesting in these awards may occur after separation from the Company for retirement eligible employees. Shares are not vested until approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee. | ||||||||||||||
Performance Shares - Market Condition | ||||||||||||||
In December 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company granted 28,871, 30,730 and 38,656, respectively, of performance shares that will vest subject to a market condition and service during the performance period. The market condition associated with the awards is the Company's TSR compared to the TSR generated by the companies of a reference index over a three year performance period. Performance at target will result in vesting and issuance of the number of performance shares granted, equal to 100% payout. Performance below or above target can result in issuance in the range of 0%-200% of the number of shares granted. Expense is recognized irrespective of the market condition being achieved. | ||||||||||||||
In February 2014, the Company paid out 58,754 shares related to its December 2010 performance award grant. The performance period associated with this award was from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013 and was based upon the Company’s total TSR compared to the TSR generated by the other companies that comprise the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index. The February 2014 payout was based upon achieving 200% of the market-based criteria. The fair value of the December 2010 performance awards at vesting was $7.0 million. | ||||||||||||||
In February 2015, 38,589 shares related to the December 2011 performance award vested. The performance period associated with this award was from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014 and was based upon the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR generated by the other companies that comprise the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index. The number of shares vested in February 2015 was based upon achieving 128% of the market condition and the fair value of the awards at vesting was $4.4 million. | ||||||||||||||
The fair value of the performance share awards with a market condition for the fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 was determined based upon a lattice model. | ||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the related assumptions used to determine the fair values of the performance share awards granted during the years 2014, 2013, and 2012: | ||||||||||||||
Stock Price on Measurement Date | Dividend Yield | Expected Volatility | Risk Free Interest Rate | Expected Term | Weighted Avg. Grant Date Fair Value | |||||||||
2014 | $ | 106.44 | 2.1 | % | 22.7 | % | 1 | % | 3 Years | $ | 117.55 | |||
2013 | $ | 107.87 | 1.9 | % | 33.8 | % | 0.6 | % | 3 Years | $ | 130.33 | |||
2012 | $ | 83.73 | 2 | % | 27.3 | % | 0.4 | % | 3 Years | $ | 100.77 | |||
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock over a three year period. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for the expected term of the award. | ||||||||||||||
Performance Shares - Performance Condition | ||||||||||||||
In December 2014, the Company also granted 28,871 performance share awards that are subject to a performance condition and service requirement during the three year performance period. The performance condition associated with the awards is based on the Company's net sales growth compared to the net sales growth of the companies of a reference index, further adjusted by the Company achieving a target net income margin, each measured over the same three year performance period. Performance at target will result in vesting and issuance of the number of performance shares granted, equal to 100% payout. Performance below or above target can result in issuance in the range of 0%-250% of the number of shares granted. | ||||||||||||||
The fair value of the award is measured based upon the average between the high and low trading prices of the Company's Class B Common Stock on the measurement date and the Company expenses these awards on a straight-line basis. The weighted average fair value per share was $106.44 for the awards granted in 2014. The probability of vesting is reassessed each reporting period and compensation cost is adjusted accordingly. | ||||||||||||||
Stock Option Awards | ||||||||||||||
Prior to 2005, the Company granted options to officers and other key employees to purchase the Company’s Class B Common Stock. All options granted had an exercise price equal to the average between the high and low trading prices of the Company’s Class B Common Stock on the measurement date. These option awards expire ten years after grant date. Exercises of existing stock option grants are expected to be settled in the Company’s Class B Common Stock as authorized in the Option Plan. The last stock options granted by the Company were in 2004 and there are no remaining options outstanding as of December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||

Guarantees | Guarantees | |||
The Company records a liability equal to the fair value of guarantees in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with the accounting guidance for guarantees. When it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues for costs associated with guarantees. The most likely costs to be incurred are accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts and, where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. | ||||
As of December 31, 2014, the fair value and maximum potential payment related to the Company’s guarantees were not material. | ||||
The Company offers product warranties which cover defects on most of its products. These warranties primarily apply to products that are properly installed, maintained and used for their intended purpose. The Company accrues estimated | ||||
warranty costs at the time of sale. Estimated warranty expenses, recorded in cost of goods sold, are based upon historical information such as past experience, product failure rates, or the estimated number of units to be repaired or replaced. Adjustments are made to the product warranty accrual as claims are incurred, additional information becomes known or as historical experience indicates. | ||||

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation |
The Consolidated Financial Statements include all wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company participates in two joint ventures, one of which is accounted for using the equity method, the other has been consolidated in accordance with the consolidation accounting guidance. An analysis is performed to determine which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) with a primarily qualitative analysis. The qualitative analysis is based on identifying the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (the “power criterion”) and the obligation to absorb losses from or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (the “losses/benefit criterion”). The party that meets both these criteria is deemed to have a controlling financial interest. The party with the controlling financial interest is considered to be the primary beneficiary and as a result is required to consolidate the VIE. The Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture in Hong Kong, established as Hubbell Asia Limited (“HAL”). The principal objective of HAL is to manage the operations of its wholly-owned manufacturing company in China. Under the accounting guidance, the Company is the primary beneficiary of HAL and as a result consolidates HAL. This determination is based on the fact that HAL’s sole business purpose is to manufacture product exclusively for the Company (the power criterion) and the Company is financially responsible for ensuring HAL maintains a fixed operating margin (the losses/benefit criterion). The consolidation of HAL is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from the estimates that are used. | |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable and collection is probable. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped and title and risk of loss have been transferred. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at the time of shipment. The Company recognizes less than one percent of total annual consolidated net revenue from post shipment obligations and service contracts, primarily within the Electrical segment. Revenue is recognized under these contracts when the service is completed and all conditions of sale have been met. In addition, within the Electrical segment, certain businesses sell large and complex equipment which requires construction and assembly and occasionally has long lead times. It is customary in these businesses to require a portion of the selling price to be paid in advance of construction. These payments are treated as deferred revenue and are classified in Other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Once the equipment is shipped to the customer and meets the revenue recognition criteria, the deferred revenue is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. | |
Further, certain of our businesses provide for sales discounts and allowances based on sales volumes, specific programs and customer deductions, as is customary in the electrical products industry. These items primarily relate to sales volume incentives, special pricing allowances, and returned goods. Sales volume incentives represent rebates with specific sales volume targets for specific customers. Certain distributors qualify for price rebates by subsequently reselling the Company’s products into select channels of end users. Following a distributor’s sale of an eligible product, the distributor submits a claim for a price rebate. Customers also have a right to return goods under certain circumstances which are reasonably estimable by affected businesses. Customer returns have historically ranged from 1%-3% of gross sales. These arrangements require us to estimate at the time of sale the amounts that should not be recorded as revenue as these amounts are not expected to be collected from customers. The Company principally relies on historical experience, specific customer agreements and anticipated future trends to estimate these amounts at the time of shipment. | |
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs | Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs |
The Company records shipping and handling costs as part of Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Any amounts billed to customers for reimbursement of shipping and handling are included in Net sales in the Consolidated Statement of Income. | |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation |
The assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year, and income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on the translated amounts of foreign currency assets and liabilities are included as translation adjustments in Accumulated other comprehensive loss within Hubbell shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities to the company of three months or less. | |
Investments | Investments |
Investments in debt and equity securities are classified by individual security as available-for-sale, held-to-maturity or trading investments. Our available-for-sale investments, consisting of municipal bonds, are carried on the balance sheet at fair value with current period adjustments to carrying value recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss within Hubbell shareholders’ equity, net of tax. Realized gains and losses are recorded in income in the period of sale. The Company’s trading investments are carried on the balance sheet at fair value and consist primarily of debt and equity mutual funds. Gains and losses associated with these trading investments are reflected in the results of operations. The Company did not have any investments classified as held-to-maturity as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. | |
Accounts Receivable and Allowances | Accounts Receivable and Allowances |
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an estimated amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The allowance is calculated based upon a combination of historical write-off experience, fixed percentages applied to aging categories and specific identification based upon a review of past due balances and problem accounts. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is determined that internal collection efforts should no longer be pursued. The Company also maintains a reserve for credit memos, cash discounts and product returns which are principally calculated based upon historical experience, specific customer agreements, as well as anticipated future trends. | |
Inventories | Inventories |
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Approximately 74% of total net inventory value is determined utilizing the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of inventory accounting. The cost of foreign inventories and certain domestic inventories is determined utilizing average cost or first-in, first-out (FIFO) methods of inventory accounting. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory are provided based on current assessments about future demand compared to on-hand quantities. | |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant, and Equipment |
Property, plant, and equipment values are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair expenditures that do not significantly increase the life of an asset are charged to expense when incurred. Property, plant, and equipment placed in service prior to January 1, 1999 are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, principally using accelerated methods. Assets placed in service subsequent to January 1, 1999 are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, using straight-line methods. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term. Gains and losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are included in Operating income in the Consolidated Statement of Income. | |
Capitalized Computer Software Costs | Capitalized Computer Software Costs |
Capitalized computer software costs, net of amortization, were $12.7 million and $10.9 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This balance is reflected in Other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Capitalized computer software is for internal use and costs primarily consist of purchased materials and services. Software is amortized on a straight-line basis over appropriate periods, generally five years. The Company recorded amortization expense of $4.3 million in both 2014 and 2013, and $3.5 million in 2012 relating to capitalized computer software. | |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets |
Goodwill represents purchase price in excess of fair values of the underlying net assets of acquired companies. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are subject to annual impairment testing using the specific guidance and criteria described in the accounting guidance. The Company performs its goodwill impairment testing as of April 1st of each year, unless circumstances dictate the need for more frequent assessments. The accounting guidance provides entities an option of performing a qualitative assessment before performing a quantitative analysis. If the entity determines, on the basis of certain qualitative factors, that it is more-likely-than-not that the goodwill is not impaired, the entity would not need to proceed to the two step goodwill impairment testing process as prescribed in the guidance. The Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceeded directly to the quantitative analysis. Step 1 compares the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to their carrying values. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Step 2 must be completed to quantify the amount of impairment. | |
Goodwill impairment testing requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. The Company uses internal discounted cash flow estimates to determine fair value. These cash flow estimates are derived from historical experience and future long-term business plans and the application of an appropriate discount rate. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. The Company’s estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units are reasonable when compared to the Company’s market capitalization on the valuation date. | |
As of April 1, 2014, the impairment testing resulted in implied fair values for each reporting unit that exceeded the reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill. The Company did not have any reporting units at risk of failing Step 1 of the impairment test as the excess of the estimated fair value over carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value) ranged from approximately 100% to approximately 400% for the respective reporting units. Additionally, the Company did not have any reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The Company has not recorded any goodwill impairments since the initial adoption of the accounting guidance in 2002. | |
The Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of patents, tradenames and customer relationships. Intangible assets with definite lives are being amortized over periods generally ranging from 5-30 years. These definite lived intangibles are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows used in determining the fair value of the asset. The Company did not record any impairments related to its definite lived intangible assets in 2014, 2013 or 2012. The Company also has some tradenames that are considered to be indefinite-lived intangible assets. These indefinite-lived are not amortized and are tested for impairment annually, unless circumstances dictate the need for more frequent assessment. | |
The accounting guidance related to testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment provides entities an option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If the entity determines, on the basis of certain qualitative factors, that it is more-likely-than-not that the asset is not impaired, the entity would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset. The Company performed the qualitative assessment, which resulted in no impairment in 2014, 2013 or 2012 . | |
Other Long-Lived Assets | Other Long-Lived Assets |
The Company reviews depreciable long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. If such a change in circumstances occurs, the related estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition is compared to the carrying amount. If the sum of the expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded. The impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of impaired assets is determined using expected cash flow estimates, quoted market prices when available and appraisals as appropriate. The Company did not record any material impairment charges in 2014, 2013 or 2012. | |
Accrued Insurance | Accrued Insurance |
The Company retains a significant portion of the risks associated with workers’ compensation, medical, automobile and general liability insurance. The Company estimates self-insurance liabilities using a number of factors, including historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. The accrued liabilities associated with these programs are based on the Company’s estimate of the ultimate costs to settle known claims as well as claims incurred but not reported as of the balance sheet date. The Company periodically reviews the assumptions with a third party actuary to determine the adequacy of these self-insurance reserves. | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. The IRS and other tax authorities routinely review the Company’s tax returns. These audits can involve complex issues which may require an extended period of time to resolve. The Company makes adequate provisions for best estimates of exposures on previously filed tax returns. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities by applying the currently enacted statutory tax rates in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes. The effect of a change in statutory tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Additionally, deferred tax assets are required to be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company uses factors to assess the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets such as the forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. | |
In addition, the accounting guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For any amount of benefit to be recognized, it must be determined that it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The amount of benefit to be recognized is based on the Company’s assertion of the most likely outcome resulting from an examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. Companies are required to reflect only those tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to be sustained. See also Note 12 — Income Taxes. | |
Research and Development | Research and Development |
Research and development expenditures represent costs to discover and/or apply new knowledge in developing a new product, process, or in bringing about a significant improvement to an existing product or process. Research and development expenses are recorded as a component of Cost of goods sold. Expenses for research and development were approximately 2% of Cost of goods sold for each of the years 2014, 2013 or 2012. | |
Retirement Benefits | Retirement Benefits |
The Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans for some of its U.S. and foreign employees. The accounting guidance for retirement benefits requires the Company to recognize the funded status of its defined benefit pension and postretirement plans as an asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations that have not yet been included in net periodic benefit cost as of the end of the year are recognized as components of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, within Hubbell shareholders’ equity. The Company’s policy is to fund pension costs within the ranges prescribed by applicable regulations. In addition to providing defined benefit pension benefits, the Company provides health care and life insurance benefits for some of its active and retired employees. The Company’s policy is to fund these benefits through insurance premiums or as actual expenditures are made. See also Note 10 — Retirement Benefits. | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share |
The earnings per share accounting guidance requires use of the two-class method in determining earnings per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Restricted stock granted by the Company is considered a participating security since it contains a non-forfeitable right to dividends. Basic earnings per share is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Earnings per diluted share is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding of common stock plus the incremental shares outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options, stock appreciation rights and performance shares. See also Note 18 — Earnings Per Share. | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of all stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over their respective requisite service periods (generally equal to an award’s vesting period), except for certain restricted stock awards granted in 2013 with a performance condition, which are expensed using the graded vesting attribution method. A stock-based award is considered vested for expense attribution purposes when the retention of the award is no longer contingent on providing subsequent service. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation cost immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible individuals or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if less than the stated vesting period. The expense is recorded in Cost of goods sold and S&A expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income based on the recipients’ respective functions within the organization. | |
The Company records deferred tax assets for awards that will result in deductions on its tax returns, based upon the amount of compensation cost recognized and the statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which it will receive a deduction. Differences between the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and the actual tax deduction reported in the Company’s tax return are recorded to Additional paid-in capital to the extent that previously recognized credits to paid-in capital are still available. See also Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation. | |
Derivatives | Derivatives |
In order to limit financial risk in the management of its assets, liabilities and debt, the Company may use derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency hedges, commodity hedges, interest rate hedges and interest rate swaps. All derivative financial instruments are matched with an existing Company asset, liability or proposed transaction. The Company does not speculate or use leverage when trading a derivative product. Market value gains or losses on the derivative financial instrument are recognized in income when the effects of the related price changes of the underlying asset or liability are recognized in income. See Note 14 – Fair Value Measurement for more information regarding our derivative instruments. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance to eliminate the concept of extraordinary items as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 2015 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. | |
In November 2014, the FASB issued new guidance to clarify how current GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. | |
In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance requiring an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and if those conditions exist, the required disclosures. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. | |
In June 2014, the FASB issued new guidance to resolve diverse accounting treatment for share based awards in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance that supersedes the existing revenue recognition guidance and most industry-specific guidance applicable to revenue recognition. According to the new guidance an entity will apply a principles-based five step model to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and early application is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements. | |
In April 2014, the FASB issued new guidance changing the criteria for determining which disposals of components of an entity can be presented as discontinued operations and modifying the related disclosure requirements. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of assets as held for sale after the effective date and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements. | |
In July 2013, the FASB amended its guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry-forward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists. This amendment was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2014 and did not have a material impact on its financial statements. |
