Summary of Significant Accounti

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	9 Months Ended
	Oct. 03, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A) Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The Middleby Corporation (the "company" or “Middleby”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the company's 2014 Form 10-K. The company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of future full year results for the fiscal year 2015 . In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the company as of October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015 , the results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 and cash flows for the nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 . Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, long lived and intangible assets, warranty reserves, insurance reserves, income tax reserves and post-retirement obligations. Actual results could differ from the company's estimates. B) Non-Cash Share-Based Compensation The company estimates the fair value of market-based stock awards and stock options at the time of grant and recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period of the awards and options. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $4.3 million and $4.9 million for the third quarter periods ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 , respectively. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $11.7 million and $11.6 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 , respectively. During the first quarter ended April 4, 2015, the company issued 100,704 restricted shares under its 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. These amounts are contingent on the attainment of certain performance objectives. The aggregate grant-date fair value of these awards was $10.9 million , based on the closing share price of the company's stock at the date of the grant. C) Income Taxes As of January 3, 2015 , the total amount of liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $12.5 million (of which $12.2 million would impact the effective tax rate if recognized) plus approximately $1.7 million of accrued interest and $3.0 million of penalties. The company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of October 3, 2015 , the company recognized a tax expense of $2.6 million for unrecognized tax benefits related to current year tax exposures. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits associated with state, federal and foreign tax positions may decrease over the next twelve months due to expiration of a statute or completion of an audit. The company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $1.3 million of its currently remaining unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized over the next twelve months as a result of lapses of statutes of limitations. A summary of the tax years that remain subject to examination in the company’s major tax jurisdictions are: United States - federal 2012 – 2014 United States - states 2005 – 2014 Australia 2011 – 2014 Brazil 2010 – 2014 Canada 2009 – 2014 China 2005 – 2014 Czech Republic 2013 – 2014 Denmark 2012 – 2014 France 2011 – 2014 Germany 2012 – 2014 India 2013 – 2014 Ireland 2009 – 2014 Italy 2010 – 2014 Luxembourg 2011 – 2014 Mexico 2010 – 2014 Netherlands 2000 – 2014 Philippines 2012 – 2014 Romania 2005 – 2014 Scotland 2011 – 2014 South Korea 2010 – 2011 Spain 2011 – 2014 Sweden 2008 – 2014 Switzerland 2008 – 2014 Taiwan 2010 – 2012 United Kingdom 2011 – 2014 D) Fair Value Measures ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. The company’s financial liabilities that are measured at fair value and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy are as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Level 1 Fair Value Level 2 Fair Value Level 3 Total As of October 3, 2015 Financial Liabilities: Interest rate swaps $ — $ 1,436 $ — $ 1,436 Contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 12,289 $ 12,289 As of January 3, 2015 Financial Liabilities: Interest rate swaps $ — $ 810 $ — $ 810 Contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 14,558 $ 14,558 The contingent consideration as of October 3, 2015 relates to the earnout provisions recorded in conjunction with the acquisitions of Spooner Vicars, PES, Concordia, Desmon, Goldstein Eswood and Induc. The contingent consideration as of January 3, 2015 relates to the earnout provisions recorded in conjunction with the acquisitions of Stewart, Nieco, Spooner Vicars, Market Forge, PES and Concordia. The earnout provisions associated with these acquisitions are based upon performance measurements related to sales and earnings of the acquired businesses, as defined in the respective purchase agreements. On a quarterly basis the company assesses the projected results for each of the acquired businesses in comparison to the earnout targets and adjusts the liability accordingly. E) Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Cash paid for interest was $11.0 million and $11.1 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 , respectively. Cash payments totaling $64.7 million and $20.2 million were made for income taxes for the nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 , respectively.

Notes To Financial Statements [Abstract]
Litigation Matters	Litigation Matters From time to time, the company is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to products, suppliers, employees, customers and competitors. The company maintains insurance to partially cover product liability, workers compensation, property and casualty, and general liability matters. The company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of accrual required, if any, for these contingencies is made after assessment of each matter and the related insurance coverage. The required accrual may change in the future due to new developments or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters. The company does not believe that any pending litigation will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Stan

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	9 Months Ended
	Oct. 03, 2015
Notes To Financial Statements [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”. This update changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and requires expanded disclosures. Under ASU No. 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. This update is effective for annual and corresponding interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. This update amends the current guidance on revenue recognition related to contracts with customers. Under ASU No. 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015 the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard to be effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017 for public companies and December 15, 2018 for private companies. Companies may elect to adopt the standard at the original effective date for public entities, that is, for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, but not earlier. The guidance can be applied using one of two retrospective application methods. The company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new standard on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. This update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update is effective for annual and corresponding interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The company is evaluating the impact the application of this ASU will have, if any, on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items". This update eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from the current guidance. This update is effective for annual and corresponding interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted provided the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Retrospective application is encouraged for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The company is evaluating the impact the application of this ASU will have, if any, on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs", which requires debt issuance costs to be recorded as a direct reduction of the debt liability on the balance sheet rather than as an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. The company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-04, "Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer's Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets". This ASU is intended to provide a practical expedient for the measurement date of defined benefit plan assets and obligations. The practical expedient allows employers with fiscal year-end dates that do not fall on a calendar month-end (e.g., companies with a 52/53-week fiscal year) to measure pension and post-retirement benefit plan assets and obligations as of the calendar month-end date closest to the fiscal year-end. The FASB also provided a similar practical expedient for interim remeasurements for significant events. This ASU requires perspective application and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The company is evaluating the impact the application of this ASU will have, if any, on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”, which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Notes To Financial Statements [Abstract]
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are composed of material, labor and overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs for inventories at two of the company's manufacturing facilities have been determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. These inventories under the LIFO method amounted to $35.0 million at October 3, 2015 and $30.2 million at January 3, 2015 and represented approximately 9.4% and 11.8% of the total inventory at each respective period. The amount of LIFO reserve at October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015 was not material. Costs for all other inventory have been determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. The company estimates reserves for inventory obsolescence and shrinkage based on its judgment of future realization. Inventories at October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015 are as follows: Oct 3, 2015 Jan 3, 2015 (in thousands) Raw materials and parts $ 148,272 $ 126,121 Work-in-process 37,724 17,828 Finished goods 187,850 111,827 $ 373,846 $ 255,776

Warranty Costs	Warranty Costs In the normal course of business the company issues product warranties for specific product lines and provides for the estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recorded. The estimate of warranty cost is based on contract terms and historical warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, actual claims costs may differ from amounts provided. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties are made as changes in the obligations become reasonably estimable. A rollforward of the warranty reserve is as follows: Nine Months Ended Oct 3, 2015 (in thousands) Balance as of January 3, 2015 $ 28,786 Warranty reserve related to acquisitions 4,398 Warranty expense 33,217 Warranty claims (29,964 ) Balance as of October 3, 2015 $ 36,437

Terms of the company’s senior credit agreement provide for $1.0 billion of availability under a revolving credit line. As of October 3, 2015 , the company had $716.5 million of borrowings outstanding under this facility. The company also had $6.9 million in outstanding letters of credit as of October 3, 2015 , which reduces the borrowing availability under the revolving credit line. Remaining borrowing availability under this facility was $276.6 million at October 3, 2015 . At October 3, 2015 , borrowings under the senior secured credit facility were assessed at an interest rate of 1.25% above LIBOR for long-term borrowings or at the higher of the Prime rate and the Federal Funds Rate. At October 3, 2015 the average interest rate on the senior debt amounted to 1.43% . The interest rates on borrowings under the senior secured credit facility may be adjusted quarterly based on the company’s indebtedness ratio on a rolling four-quarter basis. Additionally, a commitment fee based upon the indebtedness ratio is charged on the unused portion of the revolving credit line. This variable commitment fee amounted to 0.23% as of October 3, 2015 . In August 2006, the company completed its acquisition of Houno A/S in Denmark. This acquisition was funded in part with locally established debt facilities with borrowings in Danish Krone. These facilities included a revolving credit facility and term loan. At October 3, 2015 , these facilities amounted to $3.7 million in U.S. dollars, including $2.7 million outstanding under a revolving credit facility and $1.0 million under a term loan. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility is assessed at 1.25% above Euro LIBOR, which amounted to 1.55% on October 3, 2015 . At October 3, 2015 , the interest rate assessed on the term loan was 4.55% . The term loan matures in 2022 . In April 2008, the company completed its acquisition of Giga Grandi Cucine S.r.l in Italy. This acquisition was funded in part with locally established debt facilities with borrowings denominated in Euro. At October 3, 2015 , these facilities amounted to $1.0 million in U.S. dollars. The interest rate on the credit facilities is variable based on the three-month Euro LIBOR. At October 3, 2015 , the average interest rate on these facilities was approximately 2.83% . The facilities are secured by outstanding accounts receivable collectible within six months. In October 2013, the company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Celfrost Innovations Pvt. Ltd. in India. At the time of the acquisition a local credit facility, denominated in Indian Rupee, was established to fund local working capital needs. At October 3, 2015 , the facility amounted to $2.5 million in U.S. dollars. At October 3, 2015 , borrowings under the facility were assessed at an interest rate at 1.25% above the Reserve Bank of India's base rate for long-term borrowings. At October 3, 2015 , the average interest rate on this facility was approximately 10.25% . In March 2014, Cozzini do Brazil LTDA entered into a local credit facility, denominated in Brazilian Real, to fund local working capital needs. At October 3, 2015 , the facility amounted to $2.4 million in U.S. dollars and was assessed an interest rate of 1.50% above the Brazilian central bank CDI Rate. At October 3, 2015 , the interest rate assessed on this facility was 12.58% . This local credit facility matures on March 28, 2016. In January 2015, the company completed its acquisition of Desmon Food Service Equipment Company in Italy. This acquisition was funded in part with locally established debt facilities with borrowings denominated in Euro. At October 3, 2015 , these facilities amounted to $0.1 million in U.S. dollars, including $0.1 million outstanding on a local working capital loan and less than $0.1 million outstanding under a term loan. The interest rate on the working capital loan was 1.63% and the interest rate on the term loan was 0.50% . Both the working capital loan and the term loan mature on December 31, 2016. In September 2015, the company completed its acquisition of AGA Rangemaster Group plc in the United Kingdom. At the time of acquisition, local credit facilities with borrowings, denominated in Euro and USD, were established to fund local working capital needs. At October 3, 2015 , these facilities amounted to $28.2 million in U.S. Dollars, including $27.6 million outstanding on local working capital loans and $0.6 million outstanding under the term loan. At October 3, 2015 , the average interest rate was approximately 1.98% on the working capital loans and 0.76% on the term loan. The company’s debt is reflected on the balance sheet at cost. Based on current market conditions, the company believes its interest rate margins on its existing debt are consistent with current market conditions and therefore the carrying value of debt approximates fair value. However, as the interest rate margin is based upon numerous factors, including but not limited to the credit rating of the borrower, the duration of the loan, the structure and restrictions under the debt agreement, current lending policies of the counterparty, and the company’s relationships with its lenders, there is no readily available market data to ascertain the current market rate for an equivalent debt instrument. As a result, the current interest rate margin is based upon the company’s best estimate based upon discussions with its lenders. The company estimated the fair value of its loans by calculating the upfront cash payment a market participant would require to assume the company’s obligations. The upfront cash payment is the amount that a market participant would be able to lend at October 3, 2015 to achieve sufficient cash inflows to cover the cash outflows under the company’s senior revolving credit facility assuming the facility was outstanding in its entirety until maturity. Since the company maintains its borrowings under a revolving credit facility and there is no predetermined borrowing or repayment schedule, for purposes of this calculation the company calculated the fair value of its obligations assuming the current amount of debt at the end of the period was outstanding until the maturity of the company’s senior revolving credit facility in August 2017. Although borrowings could be materially greater or less than the current amount of borrowings outstanding at the end of the period, it is not practical to estimate the amounts that may be outstanding during future periods. The carrying value and estimated aggregate fair value, a level 2 measurement, based primarily on market prices, of debt is as follows (in thousands): Oct 3, 2015 Jan 3, 2015 Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Total debt $ 754,899 $ 754,899 $ 598,167 $ 598,167 The company believes that its current capital resources, including cash and cash equivalents, cash expected to be generated from operations, funds available from its current lenders and access to the credit and capital markets will be sufficient to finance its operations, debt service obligations, capital expenditures, product development and expenditures for the foreseeable future. The company has historically entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix the interest rate on a portion of its outstanding debt. The agreements swap one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. As of October 3, 2015 , the company had the following interest rate swaps in effect: Fixed Notional Interest Effective Maturity Amount Rate Date Date $25,000,000 2.520% 2/23/2011 2/23/2016 $15,000,000 1.185% 9/12/2011 9/12/2016 $15,000,000 0.458% 2/11/2013 10/11/2015 $25,000,000 0.635% 2/11/2013 8/11/2016 $25,000,000 0.789% 2/11/2013 3/11/2017 $25,000,000 0.803% 2/11/2013 5/11/2017 $35,000,000 0.880% 2/11/2013 7/11/2017 $10,000,000 1.480% 9/11/2013 7/11/2017 $15,000,000 0.920% 3/11/2014 7/11/2017 $25,000,000 0.950% 3/11/2014 7/11/2017 The terms of the senior secured credit facility limit the ability of the company and its subsidiaries to, with certain exceptions: incur indebtedness; grant liens; engage in certain mergers, consolidations, acquisitions and dispositions; make restricted payments; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and require, among other things, a maximum ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA of 3.5 and a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the senior secured credit facility) of 1.25 . The senior secured credit facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Middleby Marshall, the company and the company's domestic subsidiaries and is unconditionally guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, the company and certain of the company's direct and indirect material domestic subsidiaries. The senior secured credit facility contains certain customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to make required payments; bankruptcy and other insolvency events; the failure to perform certain covenants; the material breach of a representation or warranty; non-payment of certain other indebtedness; the entry of undischarged judgments against the company or any subsidiary for the payment of material uninsured amounts; the invalidity of the company guarantee or any subsidiary guaranty; and a change of control of the company. The credit agreement also provides that if a material adverse change in the company’s business operations or conditions occurs, the lender could declare an event of default. Under terms of the agreement, a material adverse effect is defined as (a) a material adverse change in, or a material adverse effect upon, the operations, business properties, condition (financial and otherwise) or prospects of the company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole; (b) a material impairment of the ability of the company to perform under the loan agreements and to avoid any event of default; or (c) a material adverse effect upon the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability against the company of any loan document. A material adverse effect is determined on a subjective basis by the company's creditors. At October 3, 2015 , the company was in compliance with all covenants pursuant to its borrowing agreements.

Notes To Financial Statements [Abstract]
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify as a hedge must be adjusted to fair value in earnings. If a derivative does qualify as a hedge under ASC 815, changes in the fair value will either be offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments or recognized in other accumulated comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a hedge's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. Foreign Exchange : The company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts with terms of less than one year to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The company’s primary hedging activities are to mitigate its exposure to changes in exchange rates on intercompany and third party trade receivables and payables. The company does not currently enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. In managing its foreign currency exposures, the company identifies and aggregates naturally occurring offsetting positions and then hedges residual balance sheet exposures. The following table summarizes the forward and option contracts outstanding at October 3, 2015 . The fair value of the forward and option contracts was a gain of $0.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2015 .

The agreements swap one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. The company has designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. As of October 3, 2015 , the fair value of these instruments was a liability of $1.4 million . The change in fair value of these swap agreements in the first nine months of 2015 was a loss of $0.4 million , net of taxes.

The company reviews the credit profile of the financial institutions and assesses its creditworthiness prior to entering into the interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements typically contain provisions that allow the counterparty to require early settlement in the event that the company becomes insolvent or is unable to maintain compliance with its covenants under its existing debt agreements.

Plan participants will receive or continue to receive payments for benefits earned on or prior to April 30, 2002 upon reaching retirement age. The employees participating in the defined benefit plan were enrolled in a newly established 401K savings plan on July 1, 2002, further described below. The company maintains a non-contributory defined benefit plan for its employees at the Smithville, Tennessee facility, which was acquired as part of the Star acquisition. Benefits are determined based upon retirement age and years of service with the company.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	A) Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The Middleby Corporation (the "company" or “Middleby”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the company's 2014 Form 10-K. The company’s interim results are not necessarily indicative of future full year results for the fiscal year 2015 . In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the company as of October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015 , the results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 and cash flows for the nine months ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 .
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, long lived and intangible assets, warranty reserves, insurance reserves, income tax reserves and post-retirement obligations. Actual results could differ from the company's estimates.
Non-Cash Share-Based Compensation	B) Non-Cash Share-Based Compensation The company estimates the fair value of market-based stock awards and stock options at the time of grant and recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period of the awards and options. Non-cash share-based compensation expense was $4.3 million and $4.9 million for the third quarter periods ended October 3, 2015 and September 27, 2014 , respectively.
Income Tax Contingencies	C) Income Taxes As of January 3, 2015 , the total amount of liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $12.5 million (of which $12.2 million would impact the effective tax rate if recognized) plus approximately $1.7 million of accrued interest and $3.0 million of penalties. The company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of October 3, 2015 , the company recognized a tax expense of $2.6 million for unrecognized tax benefits related to current year tax exposures. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits associated with state, federal and foreign tax positions may decrease over the next twelve months due to expiration of a statute or completion of an audit. The company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $1.3 million of its currently remaining unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized over the next twelve months as a result of lapses of statutes of limitations. A summary of the tax years that remain subject to examination in the company’s major tax jurisdictions are: United States - federal 2012 – 2014 United States - states 2005 – 2014 Australia 2011 – 2014 Brazil 2010 – 2014 Canada 2009 – 2014 China 2005 – 2014 Czech Republic 2013 – 2014 Denmark 2012 – 2014 France 2011 – 2014 Germany 2012 – 2014 India 2013 – 2014 Ireland 2009 – 2014 Italy 2010 – 2014 Luxembourg 2011 – 2014 Mexico 2010 – 2014 Netherlands 2000 – 2014 Philippines 2012 – 2014 Romania 2005 – 2014 Scotland 2011 – 2014 South Korea 2010 – 2011 Spain 2011 – 2014 Sweden 2008 – 2014 Switzerland 2008 – 2014 Taiwan 2010 – 2012 United Kingdom 2011 – 2014
Fair Value Measures	D) Fair Value Measures ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following levels: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. The company’s financial liabilities that are measured at fair value and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy are as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Level 1 Fair Value Level 2 Fair Value Level 3 Total As of October 3, 2015 Financial Liabilities: Interest rate swaps $ — $ 1,436 $ — $ 1,436 Contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 12,289 $ 12,289 As of January 3, 2015 Financial Liabilities: Interest rate swaps $ — $ 810 $ — $ 810 Contingent consideration $ — $ — $ 14,558 $ 14,558
