Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Business Benchmark Electronics, Inc. (the Company) is a Texas corporation that provides innovative product design, engineering services, technology solutions and advanced manufacturing services. From initial product concept to volume production, including direct order fulfillment and aftermarket services, the Company has been providing integrated services and solutions to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) since 1979. The Company serves the following industries: aerospace and defense (A&D), medical technologies, complex industrials, semi-cap, next-generation telecommunications and high-end computing. The Company has manufacturing operations located in the United States and Mexico (the Americas), Asia and Europe. (b) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and include the financial statements of Benchmark Electronics, Inc. and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents of $ 154.4 million and $ 265.4 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, consisted primarily of money-market funds and time deposits with an initial term of less than three months. Restricted cash represents cash received from customers to settle invoices sold under accounts receivable purchase agreements that is contractually required to be set aside until the cash is remitted to the purchaser. (d) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for amounts not expected to be collected. In estimating the allowance, management considers a specific customer’s financial condition, payment history, and various information or disclosures by the customer or other publicly available information. Accounts receivable are charged against the allowance after all reasonable efforts to collect the full amount (including litigation, where appropriate) have been exhausted. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $ 8.6 million, $ 1.7 million and $ 1.7 million in charges for a provision to accounts receivable, net of recoveries. (e) Inventories Inventories include material, labor and overhead and are stated at the lower of cost (principally first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. (f) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets – 5 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements, 2 to 15 years for machinery and equipment, 2 to 12 years for furniture and fixtures and 2 to 8 years for vehicles. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the remainder of the lease term. (g) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead assessed for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets, including those acquired in a business combination, with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. (h) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately disclosed and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be disclosed separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter, and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may be impaired. Circumstances that may lead to the impairment of goodwill include unforeseen decreases in future performance or industry demand or the restructuring of our operations as a result of a change in our business strategy. A qualitative assessment is allowed to determine if goodwill is potentially impaired. Based on this qualitative assessment, if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, then it performs a two-step goodwill impairment test, otherwise no further analysis is required. In connection with its annual qualitative goodwill impairment assessments as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 , the Company concluded that goodwill was not impaired. (i) Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding stock equivalents. Stock equivalents include common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and other equity instruments and are computed using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of a share, the amount of compensation cost, if any, for future service that the Company has not yet recognized are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Year Ended December 31, (in thousands, except per share data) 2019 2018 2017 Net income (loss) $ 23,425 $ 22,817 $ ( 31,901) Denominator for basic earnings per share – weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period 38,338 46,332 49,680 Incremental common shares attributable to exercise of dilutive options 90 104 — Incremental common shares attributable to outstanding restricted stock units 335 219 — Denominator for diluted earnings per share 38,763 46,655 49,680 Basic earnings (loss) per share $ 0.61 $ 0.49 $ ( 0.64) Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 0.60 $ 0.49 $ ( 0.64) Potentially dilutive securities totaling less than 0.1 million and 0.1 million common shares in 2019 and 2018, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities totaling 0.6 million common shares in 2017 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would have decreased the loss per share. (j) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue as the customer takes control of the manufactured products built to customer specifications. Under the majority of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with customers, the customer controls all of the work-in-progress as products are being built. Revenues under these contracts are recognized over time based on the cost-to-cost method. Under other manufacturing contracts, the customer does not take control of the product until it is completed. Under these contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of product to the customer, which is generally when the goods are shipped. Revenue from design, development and engineering services is recognized over time as the services are performed. The Company’s performance obligations generally have an expected duration of one year or less. The Company applies the practical expedients and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less or any significant financing components in the contracts. The Company recognizes the incremental costs, if any, of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred since the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year less. (k) Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The Company has considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. (l) Stock-Based Compensation All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options (which have not been awarded since 2015), are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The total compensation cost recognized for stock-based awards was $ 10.2 million, $ 10.1 million and $ 7.8 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for stock-based awards was $ 2.4 million, $ 2.4 million and $ 2.8 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Awards of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units are valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. For performance-based restricted stock units, compensation expense is based on the probability that the performance goals will be achieved, which is monitored by management throughout the requisite service period. When it becomes probable, based on the Company’s expectation of performance during the measurement period, that more or less than the previous estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to stock-based compensation expense is recognized as a change in accounting estimate. As of December 31, 2019, the unrecognized compensation cost and remaining weighted-average amortization period related to stock-based awards were as follows: Performance- based Restricted Restricted Stock Stock (in thousands) Units Units (1) Unrecognized compensation cost $ 17,621 $ 2,834 Remaining weighted-average amortization period 2.5 years 1 years (1) The total cash received as a result of stock option exercises in 2019, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $ 1.6 million, $ 3.6 million and $ 11.2 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized as a result of stock option exercises and the vesting of other share-based awards during 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $ 2.3 million, $ 2.5 million and $ 5.0 million, respectively. For 2019, 2018 and 2017, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $ 0.7 million, $ 2.3 million and $ 7.7 million, respectively. The Company awarded performance-based restricted stock units to employees during 2019, 2018 and 2017. The number of performance-based restricted stock units that will ultimately be earned will not be determined until the end of the corresponding performance periods, and may vary from as low as zero to as high as 2.5 times the target number depending on the level of achievement of certain performance goals. The level of achievement of these goals is based upon the financial results of the Company for the last full calendar year within the performance period. The performance goals consist of certain levels of achievement using the following financial metrics: revenue, operating income margin, and return on invested capital. If the performance goals are not met based on the Company’s financial results, the applicable performance-based restricted stock units will not vest and will be forfeited. Shares subject to forfeited performance-based restricted stock units will be available for issuance under the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2019 Plan). (m) Use of Estimates Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, income taxes, long-lived assets, leases, goodwill, stock-based compensation and contingencies and litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (n) Fair Values of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy of inputs is employed to determine fair value measurements.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are observable prices that are not quoted on active exchanges, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs employed for measuring the fair value of assets or liabilities. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt and financing lease obligations. The Company believes that the carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair value. As of December 31, 2019, all of the Company’s derivative instruments were recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs. See Note 12. (o) Foreign Currency For foreign subsidiaries using the local currency as their functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. The effects of these translation adjustments are reported in other comprehensive income. Exchange losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in other expense and totaled approximately $ 1.7 million, $ 1.0 million and $ 2.1 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These amounts include the amount of gain (loss) recognized in income due to forward currency exchange contracts. (p) Derivative Instruments All derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the variability of foreign currency obligations and interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative arrangements for speculative purposes. Generally, if a derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income to the extent the derivative is effective and recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are recorded in earnings. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the consolidated statements of cash flows. (q) New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019 In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 , ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements . The new standard established a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. The Company adopted this standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019 using the effective date as its date of initial application under the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, financial information for prior periods were not restated. Management elected the package of practical expedients in transition for leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019, which permits the Company to carry forward its original assessment about lease identification, lease classification and initial directs costs. For all new and modified leases after adoption, management elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all of the Company’s leases that qualify , in addition to the practical expedient to not separate lease and nonlease components. Lease assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. Lease assets also include any upfront lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. See Note 8. Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect the implementation of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and will adopt this update effective January 1, 2020. The Company has determined that other recently issued accounting standards will either have no material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or will not apply to its operations.

The U.S. Tax Reform reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate, effective January 1, 2018. The Company recorded the effects of the changes in the tax rate in the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017. To minimize tax base erosion with a territorial tax system, the U.S. Tax Reform enacted a new global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) provision that requires the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiaries tangible assets. The taxable earnings can be offset by a limited deemed paid foreign tax credit with no carrybacks or carryforwards available. The Company is subject to the GILTI provisions. The Company elected to account for the GILTI as a period cost and include the effect in the period in which it is incurred and not include it as a factor in the determination of deferred taxes. On December 22, 2017, additional guidance was issued on accounting for the tax effects of the U.S. Tax Reform (Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118)). SAB 118 provided a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the U.S. Tax Reform enactment date for companies to complete their accounting. The Company recorded a provisional tax expense of $ 101.6 million for the Transition Tax, and recognized a provisional deferred tax benefit of $ 3.9 million for a total net expense of $ 97.7 million as of December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2018, the Company completed the accounting for the tax effects of U.S. Tax Reform within the period required from the enactment date. The Company recognized during the fourth quarter of 2018 after filing its U.S. income tax return, a discrete tax benefit adjustment of $ 6.4 million for the Transition Tax, and recorded a discrete tax expense adjustment of $ 2.0 million for the finalization of the deferred tax assets and liabilities for a net total adjustment of $ 4.4 million. These adjustments were based on additional analysis of undistributed cumulative foreign earnings, cumulative foreign taxes, changes in interpretations, and additional regulatory guidance that was issued during 2018 by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As a result of the completed accounting for the Transition Tax, the Company determined that its total Transition Tax liability as of December 31, 2019 is currently $ 57.5 million after reduction for U.S. tax carryforward losses, U.S. tax credit carryforwards, and foreign tax credit carrybacks that are allowed to be utilized against the total liability. The Company intends to pay this liability over the remaining seven year payment period as prescribed by the U.S. Tax Reform and regulatory guidance issued by the IRS. $ 51.0 million of the Transition Tax liability is included in other long term liabilities. During 2019 and 2018, the Company repatriated $ 52.1 million and $ 560.6 million, respectively, of foreign earnings to the U.S. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has approximately $ 313.9 million in cumulative undistributed foreign earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. These earnings would not be subject to U.S. income tax, if distributed to the Company. The Company changed its assertion during 2018 on its foreign subsidiaries earnings that are permanently reinvested. A certain amount of earnings from specific foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested, and certain foreign earnings from other specific foreign subsidiaries is considered to be non-permanently reinvested and is available for immediate distribution to the Company. Income taxes have been accrued on the non-permanently reinvested foreign earnings including the 2017 Transition Tax, the U.S. tax on GILTI, and any applicable local withholding taxes. The Company estimates that it has approximately $ 1.7 million of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to any remaining undistributed foreign earnings that have not already been subject to the 2017 Transition Tax, the U.S. tax on GILTI, and any applicable foreign income tax or local withholding taxes on cash distributions. As a result of this change in assertion during 2018, in relation to undistributed earnings prior to December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a net tax expense of $ 21.6 million consisting of tax expense of $ 30.8 million relating to foreign withholding tax from Asia and a net benefit of $ 9.2 million for U.S. foreign tax credits to offset the foreign taxes paid during 2018. In addition, the Company recorded applicable U.S. state income tax expense net of federal benefits related to the cash repatriation. Also during 2018, the Company incurred a net $ 4.4 million benefit associated with finalizing the provisional impact of the U.S. Tax Reform described above as required by SAB 118, and incurred a $ 3.2 million tax expense as a result of GILTI. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented below: December 31, (in thousands) 2019 2018 Deferred tax assets: Carrying value of inventories $ 3,212 $ 2,787 Accrued liabilities and allowances deductible for tax purposes on a cash basis 8,945 6,108 Goodwill 1,976 2,351 Stock-based compensation 2,500 2,347 Operating right-of-use lease liabilities 19,087 — Net operating loss carryforwards 19,493 20,028 Tax credit carryforwards 2,421 1,923 Other 5,148 4,373 62,782 39,917 Less: valuation allowance ( 15,992) ( 13,709) Net deferred tax assets 46,790 26,208 Deferred tax liabilities: Plant and equipment, due to differences in depreciation ( 10,428) ( 7,617) Operating right-of-use lease assets ( 18,826) — Intangible assets, due to differences in amortization ( 16,302) ( 18,593) Foreign withholding tax ( 7,181) ( 9,212) Other ( 2,283) ( 2,631) Gross deferred tax liability ( 55,020) ( 38,053) Net deferred tax liability $ ( 8,230) $ ( 11,845) The net deferred tax liability is classified as follows: Long-term asset $ 5,274 $ 2,478 Long-term liability ( 13,504) ( 14,323) Total $ (8,230) $ (11,845) All deferred taxes are classified as non-current on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. All deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset and presented as a single net noncurrent amount by each tax jurisdiction. The net change in the total valuation allowance for 2019, 2018 and 2017 was a $ 2.3 million decrease, a $ 2.1 million increase and a $ 0.2 million decrease, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $ 16.5 million in U.S. Federal operating loss carryforwards which will expire from 2027 to 2036; state operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 44.5 million which will expire from 2020 to 2031; foreign operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 24.8 million with indefinite carryforward periods; and foreign operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 27.5 million which will expire at varying dates through 2029. The utilization of these net operating loss carryforwards is limited to the future operations of the Company in the tax jurisdictions in which such carryforwards arose. The Company has state tax credit carryforwards of $ 1.9 million which will expire at varying dates through 2026. The Company has been granted certain tax incentives, including tax holidays, for its subsidiaries in China, Malaysia and Thailand that will expire at various dates, unless extended or otherwise renegotiated, through 2018 in China, 2021 in Malaysia and 2028 in Thailand, and are subject to certain conditions with which the Company expects to comply. The net impact of these tax incentives was to lower income tax expense for 2019, 2018, and 2017 by approximately $ 5.0 million (approximately $ 0.13 per diluted share), $ 7.9 million (approximately $ 0.17 per diluted share) and $ 7.2 million (approximately $ 0.15 per diluted share), respectively, as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2019 2018 2017 China $ — $ 1,884 $ 1,398 Malaysia 3,010 3,287 4,295 Thailand 2,025 2,715 1,545 $ 5,035 $ 7,886 $ 7,238 The Company must determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Once it is determined that a position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2019, the total amount of the reserve for uncertain tax benefits including interest and penalties was $ 0.6 million. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows: December 31, (in thousands) 2019 2018 2017 Balance as of January 1 $ 313 $ 708 $ 7,791 Additions related to current year tax positions — 137 220 Additions related to prior year tax positions 200 — 894 Decreases related to prior year tax positions — ( 532) ( 8,197) Balance as of December 31 $ 513 $ 313 $ 708 During 2019, the Company recorded $ 0.2 million of uncertain tax benefits related to prior year tax positions. During 2018, the Company released $ 0.5 million of uncertain tax benefits from an IRS audit related to the Secure Communication Systems, Inc. acquisition. Also during the first quarter of 2018, the IRS indicated that this examination of years 2013 to 2015 was closed. In addition, the IRS also notified the Company that the examination of the Company’s consolidated U.S. income tax return filings for 2014 was also closed with no additional tax costs. During 2017, the Company released $ 0.9 million of uncertain tax benefits related to the liquidation of a foreign subsidiary company. Also during 2017, the Company received a denial of its appeal to the local tax authorities related to an examination for a subsidiary in Thailand for the years 2004 to 2005. Consequently, the Company recorded $ 0.9 million of additional accruals for uncertain tax benefits. The Company decided not to challenge this decision and therefore, the $ 7.3 million reserve for uncertain tax benefits was written off. This decrease in the unrecognized tax benefit reserve did not impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The reserve is classified as a current or long-term liability in the consolidated balance sheet based on the Company’s expectation of when the items will be settled. The Company records interest expense and penalties accrued in relation to uncertain income tax benefits as a component of current income tax expense. The amount of accrued potential interest on unrecognized tax benefits included in the reserve as of December 31, 2019 is $ 0.1 million. The reserve for potential penalties is $ 17.0 thousand. The Company did not record any interest and penalties during 2019. The total amount of interest and penalties included in income tax expense was $ 0.1 million during 2018. The Company did not incur any interest and penalties in 2017. The Company and its subsidiaries in Brazil, China, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Romania, Singapore, Thailand and the United States remain open to examination by the various local taxing authorities, in total or in part, for fiscal years 2011 to 2019. Currently, the Company does not have any ongoing income tax examinations by any jurisdiction. During the course of such income tax examinations, disputes may occur as to matters of fact or law. Also, in most tax jurisdictions, the passage of time without examination will result in the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations thereby precluding examination of the tax period(s) for which such statute of limitation has expired. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for its tax liabilities.

Major Customers [Text Block]	Note 11—Major Customers The Company’s customers operate in industries that are, to a varying extent, subject to rapid technological change, vigorous competition and short product life cycles. Developments adverse to the electronics industry, the Company’s customers or their products could impact the Company’s overall credit risk. The Company extends credit based on evaluation of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral or other security from its customers and would incur a loss equal to the carrying value of the accounts receivable if its customer failed to perform according to the terms of the credit arrangement. Sales to the ten largest customers represented 38%, 44% and 46% of total sales for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Financial Instruments And Concentration Of Credit Risk [Abstract]
Financial Instruments And Concentration Of Credit Risk [Text Block]	Note 12—Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt and finance lease obligations. The Company believes that the carrying values of these instruments approximate fair value. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s long-term investments and derivative instruments were recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the variability of foreign currency obligations and interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative arrangements for speculative purposes. The forward currency exchange contract in place as of December 31, 2019 has not been designated as accounting hedge and, therefore, changes in fair value are recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $ 144.4 million and $ 150.0 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, to hedge a portion of its interest rate exposure on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Under this interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives variable rate interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR rate and pays fixed rate interest payments. The fixed interest rate for the contract is 2.928%. The effect of this swap is to convert all of the floating rate interest expense to fixed interest rate expense. Based on the terms of the interest rate swap contract and the underlying borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the interest rate contract was determined to be highly effective, and thus qualifies and has been designated as a cash flow hedge. As such, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in other comprehensive income on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $ 155.3 million with a fixed interest rate of 1.4935%. During 2018, the Company terminated this agreement for $ 3.5 million and the gain is being amortized to offset interest expense over the original term of the swap agreement. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was a $ 6.3 million liability as of December 31, 2019 and a $ 3.0 million liability as of December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $ 3.3 million ($ 2.5 million net of tax) on the swaps in other comprehensive income and transferred unrealized gains of $ 1.7 million ($ 1.2 million net of tax) on the swaps to interest expense. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $ 1.5 million ($ 1.1 million net of tax) on the swap in other comprehensive income and transferred unrealized gains of $ 0.3 million ($ 0.2 million net of tax) on the swaps to interest expense. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $ 1.5 million ($ 0.9 million net of tax) on the swap in other comprehensive income. See Note 22. Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments and trade accounts receivable. Management maintains the majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions. One of the most significant credit risks is the ultimate realization of accounts receivable. This risk is mitigated by (i) sales to well established companies, (ii) ongoing credit evaluation of customers, and (iii) frequent contact with customers, thus enabling management to monitor current changes in business operations and to respond accordingly. Management considers these concentrations of credit risks in establishing our allowance for doubtful accounts and believes these allowances are adequate. The Company had one customer whose gross accounts receivable exceeded 10% of total gross accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019. 12.1% of our total gross accounts receivable.

Segment And Geographic Information	Note 15—Segment and Geographic Information The Company currently has manufacturing facilities in the Americas, Asia and Europe to serve its customers. The Company is operated and managed geographically, and management evaluates performance and allocates the Company’s resources on a geographic basis. Intersegment sales are generally recorded at prices that approximate arm’s length transactions. Operating segments’ measure of profitability is based on income from operations. The accounting policies for the reportable operating segments are the same as for the Company taken as a whole. The Company has three reportable operating segments: Americas, Asia, and Europe.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	Note 16 – Revenue The Company’s revenues are generated primarily from the sale of manufactured products built to customer specifications. The Company also generates revenue from design, development and engineering services, in addition to the sale of other inventory. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a manufactured product to a customer. The Company’s contracts with customers are generally short-term in nature. Customers are generally billed when the product is shipped or as services are performed. Under the majority of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with customers, the customer controls all of the work-in-progress as products are being built. Revenues under these contracts are recognized progressively based on the cost-to-cost method. For other manufacturing contracts, the customer does not take control of the product until it is completed. Under these contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the product to the customer. Revenue from design, development and engineering services is recognized over time as the services are performed. The Company assumes no significant obligations after shipment as it typically warrants workmanship only. Therefore, the warranty provisions are generally not significant. If the Company records revenue, but does not issue an invoice, a contract asset is recognized. The contract asset is transferred to accounts receivable when the entitlement to payment becomes unconditional. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales. Disaggregation of revenue In the following tables, revenue is disaggregated by market sector. The tables also include a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the reportable operating segments.

Restructuring Charges [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges	Note 19—Restructuring Charges The Company has undertaken initiatives to restructure its business operations to improve utilization and realize cost savings. These initiatives have included changing the number and location of production facilities, largely to align capacity and infrastructure with current and anticipated customer demand. This alignment includes transferring programs from higher cost geographies to lower cost geographies. The process of restructuring entails moving production between facilities, reducing staff levels, realigning our business processes, reorganizing our management and other activities. The Company recognized restructuring charges during 2019, 2018 and 2017 primarily related to the closure of facilities in the Americas, capacity reduction and reductions in workforce in certain facilities across various regions. The following table summarizes the 2019 activity in the accrued restructuring balances related to the various restructuring activities initiated prior to December 31, 2019: Balance as of Foreign Balance as of December 31, Restructuring Cash Non-Cash Exchange December 31, (in thousands) 2018 Charges Payment Activity Adjustments 2019 2019 Restructuring: Severance $ — $ 6,449 $ ( 2,493) $ — $ — $ 3,956 Other exit costs — 1,597 ( 653) ( 944) — — — 8,046 ( 3,146) ( 944) — 3,956 2018 Restructuring: Severance 282 — ( 282) — — — Other exit costs 918 461 ( 1,379) — — — 1,200 461 ( 1,661) — — — 2017 Restructuring: Severance — — — — — — Other exit costs 135 — ( 124) — ( 11) — 135 — ( 124) — ( 11) — Total $ 1,335 $ 8,507 $ ( 4,931) $ ( 944) $ ( 11) $ 3,956 The components of the restructuring charges initiated during 2019 were as follows: (in thousands) Americas Asia Europe Total Severance costs $ 4,499 $ 1,950 $ — $ 6,449 Other exit costs 1,561 36 — 1,597 $ 6,060 $ 1,986 $ — $ 8,046 During 2019, the Company recognized $ 6.4 million of employee termination costs associated with the involuntary terminations (both executed and planned) of 468 employees in connection with reductions in workforce worldwide. The identified involuntary employee terminations by reportable geographic region amounted to approximately 386, 81 and 1 for the Americas, Asia and Europe, respectively.

Ransomware incident
Ransomware Incident	Note 20—Ransomware Incident During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019, some of the Company’s systems were affected by a ransomware incident that encrypted information on its systems and disrupted customer and employee access to its applications and services. The Company immediately took steps to isolate the impact and implemented measures to prevent additional systems from being affected, including taking its network offline as a precaution. In connection with this incident, third party consultants and forensic experts were engaged to assist with the restoration and remediation of the Company’s systems and, with the assistance of law enforcement, to investigate the incident. The Company has found no evidence that customer or employee data was exfiltrated from its network. The Company restored connectivity and resumed operations quickly following the ransomware incident. However, fourth quarter 2019 operations were adversely affected by the inefficiencies caused by taking the network offline for a period of time. As a result, the Company’s fourth quarter 2019 revenue was also adversely affected as the Company was unable to fulfill a portion of customer demand during the quarter. We do have insurance coverage, including cyber insurance, and are working diligently with our insurance carriers on claims to recover costs incurred. We expect that the insurance recovery process will be ongoing throughout 2020. In 2019, ransomware incident related costs incurred totaled $ 7.7 million, net of estimated insurance recoveries of $ 5.0 million. These costs were primarily comprised of certain employee related expenses and various third party consulting services including forensic experts, legal counsel and other IT professional expenses. We expect to incur additional costs related to the ransomware event in 2020, but these are not expected to be significant. Further insurance recoveries will be recorded when considered probable for recovery.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business	Benchmark Electronics, Inc. (the Company) is a Texas corporation that provides innovative product design, engineering services, technology solutions and advanced manufacturing services. From initial product concept to volume production, including direct order fulfillment and aftermarket services, the Company has been providing integrated services and solutions to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) since 1979. The Company serves the following industries: aerospace and defense (A&D), medical technologies, complex industrials, semi-cap, next-generation telecommunications and high-end computing. The Company has manufacturing operations located in the United States and Mexico (the Americas), Asia and Europe.
Principles of Consolidation	(b) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and include the financial statements of Benchmark Electronics, Inc. and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents of $ 154.4 million and $ 265.4 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, consisted primarily of money-market funds and time deposits with an initial term of less than three months. Restricted cash represents cash received from customers to settle invoices sold under accounts receivable purchase agreements that is contractually required to be set aside until the cash is remitted to the purchaser.
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts	(d) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for amounts not expected to be collected. In estimating the allowance, management considers a specific customer’s financial condition, payment history, and various information or disclosures by the customer or other publicly available information. Accounts receivable are charged against the allowance after all reasonable efforts to collect the full amount (including litigation, where appropriate) have been exhausted. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $ 8.6 million, $ 1.7 million and $ 1.7 million in charges for a provision to accounts receivable, net of recoveries.
Inventories	(e) Inventories Inventories include material, labor and overhead and are stated at the lower of cost (principally first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.
Property, Plant And Equipment	(f) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets – 5 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements, 2 to 15 years for machinery and equipment, 2 to 12 years for furniture and fixtures and 2 to 8 years for vehicles. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the remainder of the lease term.
Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets	(g) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead assessed for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets, including those acquired in a business combination, with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values.
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And Goodwill	(h) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately disclosed and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be disclosed separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter, and whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may be impaired. Circumstances that may lead to the impairment of goodwill include unforeseen decreases in future performance or industry demand or the restructuring of our operations as a result of a change in our business strategy. A qualitative assessment is allowed to determine if goodwill is potentially impaired. Based on this qualitative assessment, if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, then it performs a two-step goodwill impairment test, otherwise no further analysis is required. In connection with its annual qualitative goodwill impairment assessments as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 , the Company concluded that goodwill was not impaired.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	(i) Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding stock equivalents. Stock equivalents include common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and other equity instruments and are computed using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of a share, the amount of compensation cost, if any, for future service that the Company has not yet recognized are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Year Ended December 31, (in thousands, except per share data) 2019 2018 2017 Net income (loss) $ 23,425 $ 22,817 $ ( 31,901) Denominator for basic earnings per share – weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period 38,338 46,332 49,680 Incremental common shares attributable to exercise of dilutive options 90 104 — Incremental common shares attributable to outstanding restricted stock units 335 219 — Denominator for diluted earnings per share 38,763 46,655 49,680 Basic earnings (loss) per share $ 0.61 $ 0.49 $ ( 0.64) Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 0.60 $ 0.49 $ ( 0.64) Potentially dilutive securities totaling less than 0.1 million and 0.1 million common shares in 2019 and 2018, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities totaling 0.6 million common shares in 2017 were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would have decreased the loss per share.
Revenue Recognition	(j) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue as the customer takes control of the manufactured products built to customer specifications. Under the majority of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with customers, the customer controls all of the work-in-progress as products are being built. Revenues under these contracts are recognized over time based on the cost-to-cost method. Under other manufacturing contracts, the customer does not take control of the product until it is completed. Under these contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of product to the customer, which is generally when the goods are shipped. Revenue from design, development and engineering services is recognized over time as the services are performed. The Company’s performance obligations generally have an expected duration of one year or less. The Company applies the practical expedients and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less or any significant financing components in the contracts. The Company recognizes the incremental costs, if any, of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred since the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year less.
Income Taxes	(k) Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The Company has considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance.
Stock-Based Compensation	(l) Stock-Based Compensation All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options (which have not been awarded since 2015), are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The total compensation cost recognized for stock-based awards was $ 10.2 million, $ 10.1 million and $ 7.8 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for stock-based awards was $ 2.4 million, $ 2.4 million and $ 2.8 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Awards of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units are valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. For performance-based restricted stock units, compensation expense is based on the probability that the performance goals will be achieved, which is monitored by management throughout the requisite service period. When it becomes probable, based on the Company’s expectation of performance during the measurement period, that more or less than the previous estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to stock-based compensation expense is recognized as a change in accounting estimate. As of December 31, 2019, the unrecognized compensation cost and remaining weighted-average amortization period related to stock-based awards were as follows: Performance- based Restricted Restricted Stock Stock (in thousands) Units Units (1) Unrecognized compensation cost $ 17,621 $ 2,834 Remaining weighted-average amortization period 2.5 years 1 years (1) The total cash received as a result of stock option exercises in 2019, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $ 1.6 million, $ 3.6 million and $ 11.2 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized as a result of stock option exercises and the vesting of other share-based awards during 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $ 2.3 million, $ 2.5 million and $ 5.0 million, respectively. For 2019, 2018 and 2017, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $ 0.7 million, $ 2.3 million and $ 7.7 million, respectively. The Company awarded performance-based restricted stock units to employees during 2019, 2018 and 2017. The number of performance-based restricted stock units that will ultimately be earned will not be determined until the end of the corresponding performance periods, and may vary from as low as zero to as high as 2.5 times the target number depending on the level of achievement of certain performance goals. The level of achievement of these goals is based upon the financial results of the Company for the last full calendar year within the performance period. The performance goals consist of certain levels of achievement using the following financial metrics: revenue, operating income margin, and return on invested capital. If the performance goals are not met based on the Company’s financial results, the applicable performance-based restricted stock units will not vest and will be forfeited. Shares subject to forfeited performance-based restricted stock units will be available for issuance under the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2019 Plan).
Use Of Estimates	(m) Use of Estimates Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, income taxes, long-lived assets, leases, goodwill, stock-based compensation and contingencies and litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Values Of Financial Instruments	(n) Fair Values of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy of inputs is employed to determine fair value measurements.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are observable prices that are not quoted on active exchanges, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs employed for measuring the fair value of assets or liabilities. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt and financing lease obligations. The Company believes that the carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair value. As of December 31, 2019, all of the Company’s derivative instruments were recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs. See Note 12.
Foreign Currency	(o) Foreign Currency For foreign subsidiaries using the local currency as their functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. The effects of these translation adjustments are reported in other comprehensive income. Exchange losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in other expense and totaled approximately $ 1.7 million, $ 1.0 million and $ 2.1 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These amounts include the amount of gain (loss) recognized in income due to forward currency exchange contracts.
Derivative Instruments	(p) Derivative Instruments All derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the variability of foreign currency obligations and interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative arrangements for speculative purposes. Generally, if a derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income to the extent the derivative is effective and recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are recorded in earnings. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Leases	(q) New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019 In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 , ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements . The new standard established a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. The Company adopted this standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019 using the effective date as its date of initial application under the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, financial information for prior periods were not restated. Management elected the package of practical expedients in transition for leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019, which permits the Company to carry forward its original assessment about lease identification, lease classification and initial directs costs. For all new and modified leases after adoption, management elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all of the Company’s leases that qualify , in addition to the practical expedient to not separate lease and nonlease components. Lease assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. Our incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment. Lease assets also include any upfront lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. See Note 8.
Separation of Lease and Nonlease Components	For all new and modified leases after adoption, management elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all of the Company’s leases that qualify , in addition to the practical expedient to not separate lease and nonlease components.
Short Term Leases	For all new and modified leases after adoption, management elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all of the Company’s leases that qualify
New Accounting Pronouncements	Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect the implementation of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and will adopt this update effective January 1, 2020. The Company has determined that other recently issued accounting standards will either have no material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or will not apply to its operations.

Concentration Risk [Line Items]
Concentration Risk Customer Accounts Receivable	One of the most significant credit risks is the ultimate realization of accounts receivable. This risk is mitigated by (i) sales to well established companies, (ii) ongoing credit evaluation of customers, and (iii) frequent contact with customers, thus enabling management to monitor current changes in business operations and to respond accordingly. Management considers these concentrations of credit risks in establishing our allowance for doubtful accounts and believes these allowances are adequate. The Company had one customer whose gross accounts receivable exceeded 10% of total gross accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019.
