Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Note 1. Basis of Presentation Standard Motor Products, Inc. and subsidiaries (referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of replacement parts for motor vehicles in the automotive aftermarket industry with a complementary focus on heavy duty, industrial equipment and the original equipment service market. The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and all domestic and international companies in which we have more than a 50% equity ownership. Our investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for on the equity method, as we do not have a controlling financial interest but have the ability to exercise significant influence. All significant inter-company items have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year. Reclassification Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The preparation of consolidated annual and quarterly financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We have made a number of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. We can give no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Some of the more significant estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts, realizability of inventory, goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, product liability, other postretirement benefits, asbestos, environmental and litigation matters, the valuation of deferred tax assets and sales return allowances. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Standard not yet adopted as of September 30, 2017 Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is January 1, 2018, To date, we have performed an assessment of the potential impacts of the pronouncement including a review of contracts with our significant customers. Based upon our initial assessment and contract review, we have not found a significant difference between the recognition of revenue under current accounting standards and ASU 2014-09 and, as such, do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, we continue to evaluate the impact of this pronouncement on the recognition of revenue related to the return of cores from customers used in our manufacturing processes for air conditioning compressors, diesel injectors, diesel pumps, and turbo chargers. Adoption of the new standard may impact the timing of the recording of returned cores into inventory. Based upon our preliminary assessment of the impact on the recording of cores, we do not anticipate a material change in our net income. In addition, we continue to evaluate the disaggregation of revenues disclosures required under the new standard with consideration given to a revenue disaggregation by major product group, geographic area and major sales channels. We anticipate using the modified retrospective method of adoption. We will be continuously assessing the new standard, the impact on our systems and processes, and the method of adoption through January 1, 2018, the date of implementation. The following table provides a brief description of the additional recent accounting pronouncements that could have an impact on our financial statements: Standard Description Date of adoption Effects on the financial statements or other significant matters Standards that are not yet adopted as of September 30, 2017 ASU 2016-02, Leases This standard outlines the need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). For income statement purposes, the FASB retained the dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or financing. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern. January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted The new standard must be adopted utilizing a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain expedients. The new standard will require that we recognize all of our leases, including our current operating leases, on the balance sheet. To date, we have taken an inventory of all of our operating leases, which consist primarily of real estate and auto leases, and are currently evaluating the appropriate discount rates to use in calculating the right to use asset. We will be continuously assessing the impact of the new standard and the impact on our systems and processes through January 1, 2019, our planned date of adoption. ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows This standard is intended to reduce diversity in practice and to provide guidance as to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted The new standard requires application using a retrospective transition method. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. ASU Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment This standard is intended to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted The new standard should be applied prospectively. We will consider the new standard when performing our annual impairment test and evaluate when we will adopt the new standard. ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost This standard requires employers that present operating income in their consolidated statement of operations to include only the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in operating expenses (together with other employee compensation costs). The other components of net benefit cost, including amortization of prior service cost/credit, and settlement and curtailment effects, are to be included in other non-operating income (expense). The new standard requires retrospective reclassification of the effects of the new standard on the statement of operations. January 1, 2018, with early adopted permitted The new standard will require that we retrospectively reclassify all components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost, other than the service cost component, in our statement of operations from selling, general and administrated expenses, as presently reported, to other non-operating income (expense). Standard Description Date of adoption Effects on the financial statements or other significant matters Standards that were adopted ASU Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes This standard requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The new guidance requires entities to offset all deferred tax assets and liabilities (and valuation allowances) for each tax-paying jurisdiction within each tax-paying component. The net deferred tax must be presented as a single noncurrent amount. January 1, 2017 The adoption of the new standard resulted in the reclassification of deferred tax assets previously reported as current deferred tax assets to noncurrent deferred tax assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We adopted the new standard retrospectively, and as such, all prior period current deferred tax assets in our consolidated balance sheets have also been reclassified to noncurrent deferred tax assets for comparative purposes. ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory This standard changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value for entities that measure inventory using first-in, first-out or average cost. In addition, this standard eliminates the requirement for these entities to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximate normal profit margin when measuring inventory. January 1, 2017 The prospective adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting This standard requires (1) that the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) be recorded through the tax provision (benefit) in the income statement rather than in equity as permitted under prior guidance under certain circumstances; (2) that all tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows, a change from the requirement to present windfall tax benefits as an inflow from financing activities and an outflow from operating activities; and (3) that when computing diluted earnings per share, the effect of “windfall” tax benefits be excluded from the hypothetical proceeds used to calculate the repurchase of shares under the treasury stock method. January 1, 2017 We adopted the new standard prospectively. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and based upon the current price of our common stock, we do not expect that the adoption of the new standard will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Business Acquisitions and Investments [Abstract]
Business Acquisitions and Investments	Note 3. Business Acquisitions and Investments 2016 Business Acquisitions In May 2016, we acquired the North American automotive ignition wire business of General Cable Corporation for approximately $67.5 million. The acquisition was paid for in cash funded by our revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase, as agent. The acquisition includes the purchase of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of General Cable Corporation’s (and certain of its affiliates) automotive ignition wire business in North America as well as 100% of the equity interests of a General Cable subsidiary in Nogales, Mexico. The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values (in thousands): Purchase Price $ 67,451 Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Receivables $ 3,130 Inventory 12,567 Other current and noncurrent assets (1) 334 Property, plant and equipment, net 2,660 Intangible assets 42,440 Goodwill 12,746 Current liabilities (6,426 ) Net assets acquired $ 67,451 (1) Other current and noncurrent assets includes $0.2 million of cash acquired. Intangible assets acquired of $42.4 million consists of customer relationships of $39.4 million that will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 15 years; a non-compete agreement of $2.2 million that will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 5 years; and a supply agreement of $0.8 million that will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 1 year. Goodwill of $12.7 million was allocated to the Engine Management Segment and is deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill reflects relationships, business specific knowledge and the replacement cost of an assembled workforce associated with personal reputations, as well as the value of anticipated synergies. Incremental net sales from the acquisition included in our consolidated statements of operations were $38.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Sale of Receivables [Abstract]
Sale of Receivables	Note 5. Sale of Receivables From time to time, we sell undivided interests in certain of our receivables to financial institutions. We enter these agreements at our discretion when we determine that the cost of factoring is less than the cost of servicing our receivables with existing debt. Under the terms of the agreements, we retain no rights or interest, have no obligations with respect to the sold receivables, and do not service the receivables after the sale. As such, these transactions are being accounted for as a sale. Pursuant to these agreements, we sold $210.6 million and $614.6 million of receivables during the three months and nine months ended September 30 ,

The line of credit under the agreement also allows for a $10 million line of credit to Canada as part of the $250 million available for borrowing. Direct borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% based on our borrowing availability, or floating at the alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% based on our borrowing availability, at our option. The credit agreement is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and secured by certain of our assets. Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory and certain fixed assets, and those of certain of our subsidiaries. Availability under the credit agreement is based on a formula of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory, eligible equipment and eligible fixed assets. After taking into account outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement, there was an additional $170.2 million available for us to borrow pursuant to the formula at September 30, 2017 December At September 30, 2017, the weighted average interest rate on our credit agreement was 2.5%, which consisted of $73 million in direct borrowings. At December At any time that our borrowing availability is less than the greater of either (a) $25 million, or 10% of the commitments if fixed assets are not included in the borrowing base, or (b) $31.25 million, or 12.5% of the commitments if fixed assets are included in the borrowing base, the terms of the credit agreement provide for, among other provisions, a financial covenant requiring us, on a consolidated basis, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:1 at the end of each fiscal quarter (rolling four quarters). As of September 30, Deferred Financing Costs We had deferred financing costs of $1 million and $1.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Deferred financing costs are related to our revolving credit facility. Deferred financing costs as of September 30, 2017 are being amortized in the amounts of $0.1 million for the remainder of 2017, $0.3 million in 2018, $0.3 million in 2019 and $0.3 million in 2020.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation Plans	Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation Plans We account for our stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation Restricted and Performance Stock Grants As part of the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, we currently grant shares of restricted stock to eligible employees and our independent directors and performance-based stock to eligible employees. Selected executives and other key personnel are granted performance awards whose vesting is contingent upon meeting various performance measures with a retention feature. Performance-based shares are subject to a three-year measuring period and the achievement of performance targets and, depending upon the achievement of such performance targets, they may become vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant. Each period we evaluate the probability of achieving the applicable targets, and we adjust our accrual accordingly. Restricted shares granted to employees become fully vested upon the third anniversary of the date of grant; and for selected key executives, certain additional restricted share grants vest 25% upon the attainment of age 60, 25% upon the attainment of age 63 and become fully vested upon the attainment of age 65. Restricted shares granted to directors become fully vested upon the first anniversary of the date of grant. Commencing with the 2015 grants, restricted and performance shares issued to certain key executives and directors are subject to a one or two year holding period upon the lapse of the three year vesting period. Forfeitures on restricted stock grants are estimated at 5% for employees and 0% for executives and directors, respectively, based on our evaluation of historical and expected future turnover. Our restricted and performance-based share activity was as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017: Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Balance at December 31, 2016 822,848 $ 30.46 Granted 8,450 42.83 Vested (36,577 ) 24.16 Forfeited (5,925 ) 36.41 Balance at September 30, 2017 788,796 $ 30.84 We recorded compensation expense related to restricted shares and performance-based shares of $5.1 million ($3.2 million, net of tax) and $3.7 million ($2.3 million, net of tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The unamortized compensation expense related to our restricted and performance-based shares was $11.1 million at September 30, 2017, and is expected to be recognized as they vest over a weighted average period of 4.9 years and 0.6 years for employees and directors, respectively.

Employee Benefits

Employee Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Benefits	Note 11. Employee Benefits We provided, and continue to provide, certain medical and dental care benefits to eligible retired U.S. and Canadian employees. Under the U.S. plan, for non-union employees, a Health Reimbursement Account (“HRA”) was established beginning January 1, 2009 for each qualified U.S. retiree. Annually, and through the year ended December 31, 2016, a fixed amount was credited into the HRA to cover both medical and dental costs for all current and future eligible retirees. Under the Canadian plan, retiree medical and dental benefits were funded using insurance contracts. Premiums under the insurance contracts were funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. The postretirement medical plans to substantially all eligible U.S. and Canadian employees terminated on December 31, 2016. For U.S. plan participants, balances in the HRA accounts at December 31, 2016 will remain available for use until December 31, 2018. Any remaining balance at December 31, 2018 will be forfeited. Postretirement medical and dental benefits to eligible employees will continue to be provided to the 24 former union employees in the U.S. The components of net periodic benefit cost for our postretirement benefit plans for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Postretirement benefits 2017 2016 2017 2016 Service cost $ — $ — $ — $ — Interest cost 2 4 6 10 Amortization of prior service cost — (14 ) — (41 ) Actuarial net loss (165 ) 194 (496 ) 584 Net periodic benefit cost (credit) $ (163 ) $ 184 $ (490 ) $ 553 We maintain a defined contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for key employees. Under the plan, these employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation and, in addition, we may at our discretion make contributions to the plan on behalf of the employees. In March 2017, we made company contributions to the plan of $0.3 million related to calendar year 2016. We also have an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust for employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. In connection therewith, we maintain an employee benefits trust to which we contribute shares of treasury stock. We are authorized to instruct the trustees to distribute such shares toward the satisfaction of our future obligations under the plan. The shares held in trust are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share until they are committed to be released. The trustees will vote the shares in accordance with their fiduciary duties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we contributed to the trust an additional 43,300 shares from our treasury and released 43,300 shares from the trust leaving 200 shares remaining in the trust as of September 30, 2017.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 12. Fair Value Measurements The carrying value of our financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, deferred compensation, and short term borrowings approximate their fair value. In each instance, fair value is determined after considering Level 1 inputs under the three-level fair value hierarchy. For fair value purposes, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those investments. The fair value of the assets held by the deferred compensation plan are based on the quoted market prices of the underlying funds which are held in registered investment companies. The carrying value of our revolving credit facilities, classified as short term borrowings, equals fair market value because the interest rate reflects current market rates.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies Asbestos In 1986, we acquired a brake business, which we subsequently sold in March 1998 and which is accounted for as a discontinued operation. When we originally acquired this brake business, we assumed future liabilities relating to any alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products manufactured by the seller of the acquired brake business. In accordance with the related purchase agreement, we agreed to assume the liabilities for all new claims filed on or after September 2001. Our ultimate exposure will depend upon the number of claims filed against us on or after September 2001 and the amounts paid for indemnity and defense thereof. At September 30, 2017, approximately 1,500 cases were outstanding for which we may be responsible for any related liabilities. Since inception in September 2001 through September 30, 2017, the amounts paid for settled claims are approximately $23.5 million. In evaluating our potential asbestos-related liability, we have considered various factors including, among other things, an actuarial study of the asbestos related liabilities performed by an independent actuarial firm, our settlement amounts and whether there are any co-defendants, the jurisdiction in which lawsuits are filed, and the status and results of settlement discussions. As is our accounting policy, we consider the advice of actuarial consultants with experience in assessing asbestos-related liabilities to estimate our potential claim liability. The methodology used to project asbestos-related liabilities and costs in our actuarial study considered: (1) historical data available from publicly available studies; (2) an analysis of our recent claims history to estimate likely filing rates into the future; (3) an analysis of our currently pending claims; and (4) an analysis of our settlements to date in order to develop average settlement values. The most recent actuarial study was performed as of August 31, 2017. The updated study has estimated an undiscounted liability for settlement payments, excluding legal costs and any potential recovery from insurance carriers, ranging from $35.2 million to $54 million for the period through 2060. The change from the prior year study was a $4.2 million increase for the low end of the range and a $6.3 million increase for the high end of the range. The increase in the estimated undiscounted liability from the prior year study at both the low end and high end of the range reflects our actual experience over the prior twelve months, our historical data and certain assumptions with respect to events that may occur in the future. Based on the information contained in the actuarial study and all other available information considered by us, we have concluded that no amount within the range of settlement payments was more likely than any other and, therefore, in assessing our asbestos liability we compare the low end of the range to our recorded liability to determine if an adjustment is required. Based upon the results of the August 31, 2017 actuarial study, in September 2017 we increased our asbestos liability to $35.2 million, the low end of the range, and recorded an incremental pre-tax provision of $6 million in earnings (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of operations. Future legal costs, which are expensed as incurred and reported in earnings (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of operations, are estimated, according to the updated study, to range from $44.3 million to $79.6 million for the period through 2060. We plan to perform an annual actuarial evaluation during the third quarter of each year for the foreseeable future. Given the uncertainties associated with projecting such matters into the future and other factors outside our control, we can give no assurance that additional provisions will not be required. We will continue to monitor the circumstances surrounding these potential liabilities in determining whether additional provisions may be necessary. At the present time, however, we do not believe that any additional provisions would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or consolidated financial position. Other Litigation We are currently involved in various other legal claims and legal proceedings (some of which may involve substantial amounts), including claims related to commercial disputes, product liability, employment, and environmental. Although these legal claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, based on our understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, we believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our . We may at any time determine that settling any of these matters is in our best interests, which settlement may include substantial payments. Warranties We generally warrant our products against certain manufacturing and other defects. These product warranties are provided for specific periods of time of the product depending on the nature of the product. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, we have accrued $24.8 million and $28.5 million, respectively, for estimated product warranty claims included in accrued customer returns. The accrued product warranty costs are based primarily on historical experience of actual warranty claims. The following table provides the changes in our product warranties (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Balance, beginning of period $ 24,528 $ 26,946 $ 24,072 $ 23,395 Liabilities accrued for current year sales 25,023 30,479 76,446 78,478 Settlements of warranty claims (24,713 ) (28,921 ) (75,680 ) (73,369 ) Balance, end of period $ 24,838 $ 28,504 $ 24,838 $ 28,504

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Standard not yet adopted as of September 30, 2017 Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is January 1, 2018, To date, we have performed an assessment of the potential impacts of the pronouncement including a review of contracts with our significant customers. Based upon our initial assessment and contract review, we have not found a significant difference between the recognition of revenue under current accounting standards and ASU 2014-09 and, as such, do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, we continue to evaluate the impact of this pronouncement on the recognition of revenue related to the return of cores from customers used in our manufacturing processes for air conditioning compressors, diesel injectors, diesel pumps, and turbo chargers. Adoption of the new standard may impact the timing of the recording of returned cores into inventory. Based upon our preliminary assessment of the impact on the recording of cores, we do not anticipate a material change in our net income. In addition, we continue to evaluate the disaggregation of revenues disclosures required under the new standard with consideration given to a revenue disaggregation by major product group, geographic area and major sales channels. We anticipate using the modified retrospective method of adoption. We will be continuously assessing the new standard, the impact on our systems and processes, and the method of adoption through January 1, 2018, the date of implementation. The following table provides a brief description of the additional recent accounting pronouncements that could have an impact on our financial statements: Standard Description Date of adoption Effects on the financial statements or other significant matters Standards that are not yet adopted as of September 30, 2017 ASU 2016-02, Leases This standard outlines the need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). For income statement purposes, the FASB retained the dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or financing. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern. January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted The new standard must be adopted utilizing a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain expedients. The new standard will require that we recognize all of our leases, including our current operating leases, on the balance sheet. To date, we have taken an inventory of all of our operating leases, which consist primarily of real estate and auto leases, and are currently evaluating the appropriate discount rates to use in calculating the right to use asset. We will be continuously assessing the impact of the new standard and the impact on our systems and processes through January 1, 2019, our planned date of adoption. ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows This standard is intended to reduce diversity in practice and to provide guidance as to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted The new standard requires application using a retrospective transition method. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. ASU Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment This standard is intended to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted The new standard should be applied prospectively. We will consider the new standard when performing our annual impairment test and evaluate when we will adopt the new standard. ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost This standard requires employers that present operating income in their consolidated statement of operations to include only the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in operating expenses (together with other employee compensation costs). The other components of net benefit cost, including amortization of prior service cost/credit, and settlement and curtailment effects, are to be included in other non-operating income (expense). The new standard requires retrospective reclassification of the effects of the new standard on the statement of operations. January 1, 2018, with early adopted permitted The new standard will require that we retrospectively reclassify all components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost, other than the service cost component, in our statement of operations from selling, general and administrated expenses, as presently reported, to other non-operating income (expense). Standard Description Date of adoption Effects on the financial statements or other significant matters Standards that were adopted ASU Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes This standard requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The new guidance requires entities to offset all deferred tax assets and liabilities (and valuation allowances) for each tax-paying jurisdiction within each tax-paying component. The net deferred tax must be presented as a single noncurrent amount. January 1, 2017 The adoption of the new standard resulted in the reclassification of deferred tax assets previously reported as current deferred tax assets to noncurrent deferred tax assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We adopted the new standard retrospectively, and as such, all prior period current deferred tax assets in our consolidated balance sheets have also been reclassified to noncurrent deferred tax assets for comparative purposes. ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory This standard changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value for entities that measure inventory using first-in, first-out or average cost. In addition, this standard eliminates the requirement for these entities to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximate normal profit margin when measuring inventory. January 1, 2017 The prospective adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting This standard requires (1) that the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement (or expiration) be recorded through the tax provision (benefit) in the income statement rather than in equity as permitted under prior guidance under certain circumstances; (2) that all tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows, a change from the requirement to present windfall tax benefits as an inflow from financing activities and an outflow from operating activities; and (3) that when computing diluted earnings per share, the effect of “windfall” tax benefits be excluded from the hypothetical proceeds used to calculate the repurchase of shares under the treasury stock method. January 1, 2017 We adopted the new standard prospectively. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and based upon the current price of our common stock, we do not expect that the adoption of the new standard will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.
