Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business The Company is a global agricultural company with 145 years of experience delivering value-added products and services to businesses and customers. The Company is a trusted provider of responsibly sourced, independently verified, sustainable, and traceable products and ingredients. Basis of Presentation The Company changed its name from Alliance One International, Inc. to Pyxus International, Inc. on September 12, 2018. The accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company uses the cost or equity method of accounting for its investments in affiliates that are owned 50% or less and are not variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates The Company’s equity method investments and its cost method investments are non-marketable securities. The Company reviews such investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an investment may not be recovered. For example, the Company would test such an investment for impairment if the investee were to lose a significant customer, suffer a large reduction in sales margins, experience a major change in its business environment, or undergo other significant changes in its normal business. In assessing the recoverability of equity or cost method investments, the Company uses discounted cash flow models. If the fair value of an equity investee is determined to be lower than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized. The preparation of discounted future cash flow analysis requires significant management judgment with respect to future operating earnings growth rates and the selection of an appropriate discount rate. The use of different assumptions could increase or decrease estimated future operating cash flows, and the discounted value of those cash flows, and therefore could increase or decrease any impairment charge. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. They also impact the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, revenue recognition, pension and postretirement health care benefits, inventory market values, allowances for doubtful accounts and advances, bank loan guarantees to suppliers and unconsolidated subsidiaries, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets, deferred tax assets and uncertain income tax positions, intrastate tax credits in Brazil and fair value determinations of financial assets and liabilities including derivatives, securitized beneficial interests and counterparty risk. Changes in market and economic conditions, local tax laws, and other related factors are considered each reporting period, and adjustments to the accounts are made based on the Company’s best judgment. Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue from contracts with customers, primarily from the sale of processed tobacco and fees charged for processing and related services to the manufacturers of tobacco products. The Company does not disclose information related to its unsatisfied performance obligations with an expected duration of one year or less. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when the transfer of control of the distinct product or service to the customer occurs. For products, control is transferred and revenue is recognized at a point in time, in accordance with the shipping terms of the contract. For services, control is transferred and revenue is recognized over time using the input method based on a kilogram of packed tobacco. The Company applied a practical expedient to account for shipping and handling costs as costs to fulfill its performance obligations, regardless of when control transfers. A kilogram of processed tobacco (or tobacco processing services resulting in a kilogram of processed tobacco) is the only material and distinct performance obligation for the Company’s tobacco revenue streams therefore; consideration is attributed to the performance of this obligation. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Contract costs primarily include labor, material, shipping and handling, and overhead expenses. Certain subsidiaries are subject to value-added taxes on local sales. These amounts have been included in sales and other operating revenues and cost of goods and services sold. The following disaggregates sales and other operating revenues by major source: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Year Ended March 31, 2019 Leaf - North America: Product revenue $ 97,055 $ 249,980 Processing and other revenues 6,899 35,738 Total sales and other operating revenues 103,954 285,718 Leaf - Other Regions: Product revenue 478,877 1,456,280 Processing and other revenues 2,707 43,559 Total sales and other operating revenues 481,584 1,499,839 Other Products and Services: Total sales and other operating revenues 5,703 16,036 Total sales and other operating revenues $ 591,241 $ 1,801,593 Product revenue is primarily processed tobacco sold to the customer. Processing and other revenues are mainly contracts to process customer-owned green tobacco. During processing, ownership remains with the customers. Other products and services is primarily composed of revenue from the sale of legal cannabis in Canada and e-liquids product revenue. Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer The Company applied a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less. The Company records product and supply contract intangible assets for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year, and if such costs are material. Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of March 31, 2019 were $4,225 and were classified as other intangible assets. See Note 5. "Goodwill and Other Intangibles” for further information. Significant Judgments The Company has identified two main forms of variable consideration in its contracts with customers: warehousing fees for storing customer-controlled tobacco until the customer requests shipment and claims resulting from tobacco that does not meet customer specifications. Warehousing fees are either included in the price of tobacco based on the customers' best estimate of the date they will request shipment or separately charged using a per-day storage rate. When the Company enters into a contract with a customer, the price communicated is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive. Price adjustments for tobacco not meeting customer specifications for shrinkage, improper blend or chemical makeup, etc. are handled through a claims allowance that is assessed quarterly. Since the Company has a large number of customer contracts with similar characteristics, the volume of tobacco sold each year is substantial, and the Company has historical data related to claims, the Company is able to estimate the amount of expected claims using the expected value method. The following summarizes activity in the claims allowance: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Year Ended March 31, 2019 Balance, beginning of period $ 1,410 $ 1,100 Additions 595 2,853 Payments (545 ) (2,493 ) Balance, end of period $ 1,460 $ 1,460 Contract Balances The Company generally records a receivable when revenue is recognized as the timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment from customers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. The Company applied a practical expedient not to adjust the transaction price for the effects of financing components when the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the trade receivables, net balance. The Company determines the allowance based on historical experience and other currently available information. The following summarizes activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts: Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Year Ended March 31, 2019 Balance, beginning of period $ (9,113 ) $ (7,048 ) Additions (4,513 ) (6,657 ) Writes-offs 245 324 Balance, end of period (13,381 ) (13,381 ) Trade receivables 303,478 303,478 Trade receivables, net $ 290,097 $ 290,097 The provision for doubtful accounts is reported in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the statements of consolidated operations. Taxes Collected from Customers Certain subsidiaries are subject to value-added taxes on local sales. These amounts have been included in sales and other operating revenues and cost of goods and services sold and were $23,188 , $26,033 , and $25,631 for the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 , respectively. Shipping and Handling Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods and services sold in the statements of consolidated operations. Other Income The following summarizes the significant components of other income: Years Ending March 31, 2019 2018 2017 Other sales of assets and expenses $ 2,497 $ 3,379 $ 303 Sales of Brazilian intrastate trade tax credits 10,418 11,835 9,356 Receipt of funds held in escrow — 3,235 — Gain on sales of fixed assets 2,080 3,612 1,691 Losses on sale of receivables (6,816 ) (7,679 ) (6,454 ) Gain from insurance claims in Zimbabwe 6,038 — — Total $ 14,217 $ 14,382 $ 4,896 See Note 16. "Contingencies and Other Information" and Note 17. "Sale of Receivables" for further information. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are defined as temporary investments of cash with original maturities of less than 90 days . At March 31, 2019 and 2018 , $1,225 and $1,261 of cash was held on deposit as a compensating balance for short-term borrowings, respectively. At March 31, 2019 and 2018 , $0 and $1,487 cash was restricted for capital investment, respectively. At March 31, 2019 and 2018 , $2,894 and $0 of cash was held in escrow due to various transactions. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company held $1,082 in the Zimbabwe Real Time Gross Settlement (“RTGS”) System. RTGS is a local currency equivalent that as of March 31, 2019 was exchanged 3 :1 with the U.S. Dollar ("USD"). In order to convert these units to USD, the Company must obtain foreign currency resources from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe subject to the monetary and exchange control policy in Zimbabwe. At March 31, 2019 and 2018 , $779 and $2,283 of cash, respectively, was held in the Company's Canadian cannabis businesses. Other Receivables Other receivables consist primarily of value-added tax receivables of $16,083 and $16,025 at March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Other Deferred Charges Other deferred charges are primarily deferred financing costs that are amortized over the life of long-term debt. Sale of Accounts Receivable The Company is currently engaged in two revolving trade accounts receivable securitization arrangements to sell receivables. The Company records the transaction as a sale of receivables, removes such receivables from its consolidated balance sheet and records a receivable for the beneficial interest in such receivables. The losses on the sale of receivables are recognized in other income. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, accounts receivable sold and outstanding were $210,672 and $228,621 . See Note 17. “Sale of Receivables” and Note 18. “Fair Value Measurements” for further information. Inventories Costs in inventory include processed tobacco inventory, unprocessed tobacco inventory, and other inventory. Costs of unprocessed tobacco inventories are determined by the average cost method, which include the cost of green tobacco. Costs of processed tobacco inventories are determined by the average cost method, which include both the cost of unprocessed tobacco, as well as direct and indirect costs that are related to the processing of the product. Costs of other non-tobacco inventory are determined by the first-in, first-out method, which include costs of packing materials, non-tobacco agricultural products, and agricultural supplies including seed, fertilizer, herbicides, and pesticides. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“LCM”). The Company evaluates its inventories for LCM adjustments by country and type of inventory. Processed tobacco and unprocessed tobacco are evaluated separately for LCM purposes. The Company compares the cost of its processed tobacco to market values based on recent sales of similar grades when evaluating those balances for LCM adjustments. The Company also considers whether its processed tobacco is committed to a customer, whereby the expected sales price would be utilized in determining the market value for committed tobacco. The Company also reviews data on market conditions in performing its LCM evaluation for unprocessed tobacco. See Note 2. “Inventories” for further information. Advances to Tobacco Suppliers The Company purchases seeds, fertilizer, pesticides, and other products related to growing tobacco and advances them to suppliers to assist in crop production. These advances are short term, represent prepaid inventory, and are recorded as advances to tobacco suppliers. Upon delivery of tobacco, part of the purchase price to the supplier is paid in cash and part through a reduction of the advance balance. The advances applied to the delivery are reclassified out of advances and into unprocessed inventory. The Company also has noncurrent advances, which generally represent the cost of advances to suppliers for infrastructure, such as curing barns, that are also recovered through the delivery of tobacco to the Company by the suppliers. Not all suppliers are able to settle the entire amount of advances that are due in any given year. In these situations, the Company may allow the suppliers to deliver tobacco over future crop years to recover its advances. Noncurrent advances to tobacco suppliers are recorded in other noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company accounts for its advances to tobacco suppliers using a cost accumulation model, which results in the reporting of its advances at the lower of cost or recoverable amounts exclusive of the mark-up and interest. The mark-up and interest on its advances are recognized upon delivery of tobacco as a decrease in the cost of the current crop. The mark-up and interest capitalized or to be capitalized into inventory for the current crop were $11,341 and $15,483 as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Unrecoverable advances and other costs capitalized, or to be capitalized into the current crop, was $4,895 and $8,239 as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The following table reflects the classification of advances to tobacco suppliers: March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018 Current $ 19,754 $ 30,482 Noncurrent 1,740 5,294 Total $ 21,494 $ 35,776 There were $1,339 and $0 unrecovered amounts expensed directly to cost of goods and services sold in the statements of consolidated operations for abnormal yield adjustments or unrecovered amounts from prior crops for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Normal yield adjustments are capitalized into the cost of the current crop and are expensed as cost of goods and services sold as that crop is sold. Guarantees In certain markets, the Company guarantees bank loans to suppliers to finance their crops. Under longer-term arrangements, the Company may also guarantee financing on suppliers’ construction of curing barns or other tobacco production assets. Guaranteed loans are generally repaid concurrent with the delivery of tobacco to the Company. The Company is obligated to repay any guaranteed loan should the supplier default. If default occurs, the Company has recourse against its various suppliers and their production assets. The Company also guarantees bank loans of certain unconsolidated subsidiaries in Asia and South America. The following table summarizes amounts guaranteed and the fair value of those guarantees: March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018 Amounts guaranteed (not to exceed) $ 143,298 $ 150,900 Amounts outstanding under guarantee 103,846 126,835 Fair value of guarantees 3,714 5,864 Of the guarantees outstanding at March 31, 2019 , all expire within one year . The fair value of guarantees is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and included in crop costs, except for the joint venture in Brazil, which are included in accounts receivable, related parties. See Note 18. "Fair Value Measurements" for further information. In Brazil, certain suppliers obtain government subsidized rural credit financing from local banks that is guaranteed by the Company. The Company withholds amounts owed to suppliers related to the rural credit financing of the supplier upon delivery of tobacco to the Company. The Company remits payments to the local banks on behalf of the guaranteed suppliers. Rural credit financing repayment is due to local banks based on contractual due dates. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, the Company had balances of $18,659 and $14,807 due to local banks on behalf of suppliers included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets. Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired and is allocated to the appropriate reporting unit when acquired. Reporting units may be operating segments as a whole or at one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. The components within the Company’s operating segments are aggregated into ten reporting units due to their similar economic characteristics. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested for impairment annually, on the first day of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company utilized a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In performing the Company’s annual quantitative assessment, the Company utilized the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method of the income approach. The future cash flows of the Company’s reporting units were projected based on estimates of future revenues, gross margins, operating income, excess net working capital, capital expenditures, and other factors. The Company utilized estimated revenue growth rates and cash flow projections. The discount rates utilized in the DCF method was based on a weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC") determined from relevant market comparisons and adjusted for specific reporting unit risks, country risk premiums, and capital structure. A terminal value estimated growth rate was applied to the final year of the projected period and reflected the Company’s estimate of perpetual growth. The Company then calculated a present value of the respective cash flows for each reporting unit to arrive at an estimate of fair value under the income approach. The Company then reconciled the estimated fair value of its reporting units to its total public market capitalization as of the valuation date. An implied control premium was calculated based on the Company’s stock price as of the valuation date and compared to control premiums paid in recent industry transactions for reasonableness. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded. The Company has intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets with definite useful lives. These intangible assets are assessed annually and tested for impairment whenever factors indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Production and supply contracts are amortized based on the expected realization of the benefit over the term of the contracts ranging from three to five years . The trade name, customer relationship, and license intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over eight , eight to twenty years , and ten to twenty years , respectively. The amortization period is the term of the contract or, if no term is specified in the contract, management’s best estimate of the useful life based on past experience. Internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over five years once the software testing is complete. Events and changes in circumstance may either result in a revision in the estimated useful life or impairment of an intangible. See Note 5. “Goodwill and Other Intangibles” for further information. Other Noncurrent Assets As of March 31, 2019 , other noncurrent assets consist primarily of long-term value-added tax (VAT) and intrastate tax receivables of $10,435 , long-term advances to suppliers of $1,740 , long-term escrow deposits of $2,710 , long-term retirement benefit assets of $10,388 , and cash surrender value of life insurance of $5,472 . As of March 31, 2018 , other noncurrent assets consisted primarily of long-term VAT and intrastate tax receivables of $ 5,431 , long-term advances to suppliers of $ 5,294 , long-term escrow deposits of $22,182 , long-term retirement benefit assets of $10,417 , and cash surrender value of life insurance of $ 5,456 . Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment at March 31, 2019 and 2018 , are summarized as follows: 2019 2018 Land $ 32,251 $ 26,474 Buildings 228,580 216,947 Machinery and equipment 177,750 185,679 Total 438,581 429,100 Less accumulated depreciation (162,185 ) (174,819 ) Total property, plant, and equipment, net $ 276,396 $ 254,281 Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Provisions for depreciation are computed on a straight-line basis at annual rates calculated to amortize the cost of depreciable properties over their estimated useful lives. Buildings are depreciated over a range of 20 to 30 years . Machinery and equipment are depreciated over a range of three to ten years . The consolidated financial statements do not include fully depreciated assets. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and changes are made to the estimated useful lives when necessary. Long-lived assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties and may be estimated using a number of techniques, including quoted market prices or valuations, present value techniques based on estimates of cash flows, or multiples of earnings or revenue performance measures. The following summarizes depreciation expense in cost of goods sold and selling, general, and administrative expenses: Years Ending March 31, 2019 2018 2017 Depreciation expense recorded in cost of goods and services sold $ 26,532 $ 26,967 $ 27,730 Depreciation expense recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses 3,157 2,382 2,662 The following summarizes purchases and sales of property, plant, and equipment included in accounts payable and notes receivable: March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018 March 31, 2017 Purchases of property, plant, and equipment included in accounts payable $ 7,095 $ 697 $ 413 Sales of property, plant, and equipment included in notes receivable 1,957 2,218 1,573 Capitalized Interest Interest is capitalized on significant construction in progress using the weighted average interest rate during the capitalization period. Capitalized interest at March 31, 2019 and 2018 is summarized as follows: 2019 2018 Capitalized interest, net at beginning of year $ — $ — Interest capitalized to property, plant, and equipment, net 2,003 — Interest capitalized to investments in unconsolidated affiliates 953 — Capitalized interest depreciated or amortized (27 ) Capitalized interest, net at end of year $ 2,929 $ — Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses forward or option currency contracts to protect against volatility associated with certain non-U.S. dollar denominated forecasted transactions. These contracts are for green tobacco purchases, processing costs, and selling, general and administrative costs. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments are recorded each period according to the determination of the derivative's effectiveness. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized in cost of goods and services sold immediately as incurred. As of March 31, 2019 , the accumulated other comprehensive loss includes $2,614 , net of tax of $695 for unrealized losses related to designated cash flow hedges. The Company recorded losses of $1,899 , $1,818 and $1,161 in its cost of goods and services sold for the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 , respectively. The Company recorded current derivative assets of $186 , $0 and $943 as of March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 , respectively. The Company has elected not to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. See Note 18. “Fair Value Measurements” for further information of fair value methodology. Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The Company’s annual tax rate is based on its income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties. The Company reviews its tax positions quarterly and adjusts the balances as new information becomes available. Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. Such assets arise because of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company evaluates the recoverability of these future tax deductions by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. As these sources of income inherently rely on estimates, the Company uses historical experience and short and long-range business forecasts to provide insight. The Company believes it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred income tax assets may expire as unused and has established a valuation allowance against them. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred income tax assets, the Company believes it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be fully recoverable within the applicable statutory expiration periods. However, deferred tax assets could be reduced in the near term if estimates of taxable income are significantly reduced or available tax planning strategies are no longer viable. See Note 12. “Income Taxes” for further information. Stock-Based Compensation The Company expenses the fair value of grants of various stock-based compensation programs at fair value over the vesting period of the awards. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of exchange traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation methods require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. See Note 11. “Stock-Based Compensation” for further information. New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue Recognition (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU 2014-09 outlines a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2018 for all contracts using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements but did result in additional disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . ASU 2016-15 clarifies the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments to reduce the diversity in practice on how these activities are presented on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2018 using the retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the following changes for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, to the consolidated statement of cash flows: cash collections from beneficial interests of $263,670 and $231,658 was reclassified from operating activities to investing activities and $281,601 and $229,580 obtained as a beneficial interest for transferring trade receivables in a securitization transaction has been added as a non-cash disclosure. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash . ASU 2016-18 clarifies the presentation of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice on how restricted cash is presented on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2018 using the retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the following changes: a reclassification of $3,373 from other current and other long-term assets in total to separately stated line items for restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018; the change in restricted cash of $1,133 and $(389) presented in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows is eliminated as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively; and the inclusion of $2,309 and $2,698 of restricted cash in the calculation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at the end of the period in the consolidated statements of cash flows as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07,

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities	12 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2019
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities The Company holds variable interests in multiple entities that primarily procure or process inventory on behalf of the Company and other parties or are securitization entities. These variable interests relate to equity investments, advances, guarantees made by the Company, and securitized receivables. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the majority of its variable interests in variable interest entities, as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities due to the entities’ management and board of directors structure. As a result, the majority of these variable interest entities are not consolidated. The Company holds a majority voting interest and is the primary beneficiary of its variable interest in Humble Juice Co., LLC, a consolidated entity for which the related intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The following summarizes financial relationships with variable interest entities as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 : March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018 Investment in variable interest entities $ 64,281 $ 64,208 Advances to variable interest entities 3,273 5,895 Guaranteed amounts to variable interest entities (not to exceed) 67,027 65,487 The Company's investment in and advances to variable interest entities are classified as investments in unconsolidated affiliates and accounts receivable, related parties, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's maximum exposure to loss in these variable interest entities is represented by the investments, advances, guarantees, and the deferred purchase price on the sale of securitized receivables that is disclosed in "Note 17. Sale of Receivables" .

Restructuring and Asset Impairm

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges	12 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2019
Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges	Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges The Company continues to focus on efficiency and cost improvements. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 , the restructuring and asset impairment charges were incurred due to the closing of one foreign processing facility in order to process tobacco in the affected area under a third-party processing arrangement going forward and the consolidation of the Company's U.S. green tobacco processing operations into its Wilson, North Carolina facility and the repurposing of its Farmville, North Carolina facility for storage and special projects.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangibles	Goodwill and Other Intangibles As of January 1, 2019, the date of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing for fiscal 2019, the Company allocated $2,795 , $13,669 , $10,698 , and $7,174 of goodwill to the Leaf - North America, Leaf - Africa, Other Products and Services - Cannabis, and Other Products and Services - E-liquids reporting units, respectively. As of January 1, 2019, the qualitative assessment did not indicate impairment on the goodwill allocated to the Other Services and Products reporting units. As of January 1, 2019, the estimated fair value of the Leaf - North America reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Leaf - Africa reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 2.4% . It is reasonably possible that future changes in judgments, assumptions, and estimates utilized in assessing the fair value of the Leaf - Africa reporting unit could cause the Company to recognize impairment charges on a portion of the goodwill balance for the Leaf - Africa reporting unit. For example, a future decline in market conditions or under performance of the reporting unit could negatively impact the estimated future cash flows and valuation assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Leaf - Africa reporting unit and lead to future impairment charges. The carrying value of other intangible assets as of March 31, 2019 represents customer relationships, production and supply contracts, internally developed software, licenses, and trade names. These intangible assets were determined to meet the criterion for recognition apart from goodwill. Amortization expense associated with finite-lived intangible assets was $7,943 , $5,982 , and $4,514 for the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 , respectively, and is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses, except for production and supply contracts which is recorded against the associated revenues.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Short-Term Borrowing Arrangements	Short-Term Borrowing Arrangements Excluding all long-term credit agreements, the Company has typically financed its non-U.S. operations with uncommitted unsecured short-term seasonal lines of credit arrangements with a number of banks. These operating lines are seasonal in nature, normally extending for a term of 180 to 270 days corresponding to the tobacco crop cycle in that location. These facilities are typically uncommitted in that the lenders have the right to cease making loans and demand repayment of loans at any time. These loans are typically renewed at the outset of each tobacco season. At March 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company may borrow up to a total $795,934 and $739,994 , subject to limitations as provided for in agreement governing the ABL facility (as defined below), respectively. The weighted average variable interest rate for the years ending March 31, 2019 and 2018 was 6.6% and 6.1% , respectively. At March 31, 2019 and 2018 , amounts outstanding under the lines were $428,961 and $427,277 , respectively. Unused lines of credit at March 31, 2019 amounted to $356,317 and $10,656 of letters of credit with $5,399 issued but unfunded and at March 31, 2018 , amounted to $300,445 and $12,272 of letters of credit. Certain non-U.S. borrowings of approximately $147,120 and $134,743 have inventories of $63,989 and $101,051 as collateral at March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Long-Term Debt	Long-Term Debt The terms of the First Lien Notes, the Second Lien Notes, and the ABL Facility (each, as defined below), are summarized below: First Lien Notes On October 14, 2016, the Company issued $275,000 in aggregate principal amount of 8.5% senior secured first lien notes due 2021 (the “First Lien Notes”), at an issue price of 99.085% of the face amount thereof. The First Lien Notes, which bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per year, are payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning April 15, 2017, to holders of record at the close of business on the preceding April 1 and October 1, respectively. The First Lien Notes mature on April 15, 2021. The First Lien Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Pyxus’ subsidiaries, Alliance One Specialty Products, LLC, Alliance One International, LLC, and Alliance One North America, LLC (the “Current Guarantors”), and any future material domestic subsidiaries are required to guarantee the First Lien Notes on a senior secured basis. The Current Guarantors and any future guarantors of the First Lien Notes are referred to as the “guarantors.” Pyxus’ and the guarantors’ obligations under the First Lien Notes and any guarantee of the First Lien Notes (and certain related obligations) and under the ABL Facility (as defined below) and any guarantee of the ABL Facility (and certain related obligations and obligations in respect of certain hedging arrangements) are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of Pyxus’ and the guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens (the “Collateral”). Pyxus’ and the guarantors’ obligations under the First Lien Notes and any guarantee of the First Lien Notes (and certain related obligations) have first-priority in the waterfall set forth in a senior lien intercreditor agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the First Lien Notes and the establishment of the ABL Facility (the “Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement”) in respect of the liens on the Collateral that is not ABL Priority Collateral (as defined below), including owned material real property in the United States, capital stock of subsidiaries owned directly by Pyxus or a guarantor (except that, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, only capital stock of only direct foreign subsidiaries that are material are to be pledged and only 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock are to be pledged), existing and after acquired intellectual property rights, equipment, related general intangibles and instruments and certain other related assets of the foregoing and proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the “Notes Priority Collateral”). Pyxus’ and the guarantors’ obligations under the ABL Facility and any guarantee of the ABL Facility (and certain related obligations and obligations in respect of certain hedging arrangements) have second-priority in the waterfall set forth in the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement in respect of the liens on the Notes Priority Collateral. Pyxus’ and the guarantors’ obligations under the First Lien Notes and any guarantee of the First Lien Notes (and certain related obligations) have second-priority in the waterfall set forth in the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement in respect of the liens on the Collateral consisting of accounts receivable, inventories, cash (other than identifiable cash proceeds of the Notes Priority Collateral), deposit accounts, related general intangibles and instruments, certain other related assets of the foregoing and proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the “ABL Priority Collateral”). Pyxus’ and the guarantors’ obligations under the ABL Facility and any guarantee of the ABL Facility (and certain related obligations and obligations in respect of certain hedging arrangements) have first-priority in the waterfall set forth in the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement in respect of the liens on the ABL Priority Collateral. If a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the First Lien Notes) occurs at any time, holders of the First Lien Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the First Lien Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of First Lien Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the First Lien Notes restricts (subject to exceptions and qualifications) the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock, pay dividends and make other restricted payments (including restricted investments), sell assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, enter into transactions with its affiliates, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, create certain dividend and payment restrictions on its restricted subsidiaries, and designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. ABL Facility On October 14, 2016, the Company entered into an ABL credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with certain bank lenders establishing a senior secured revolving asset-based lending facility (the “ABL Facility”) of $60,000 subject to a borrowing base composed of its eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The ABL Facility may be used for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit from time to time up to an initial maximum principal amount of $60,000 , subject to the limitations described below in this paragraph. Under certain conditions, Pyxus may solicit the ABL Facility lenders or other prospective lenders to provide additional revolving loan commitments under the ABL Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000 (less the aggregate principal amount of any notes exceeding $275,000 issued under the First Lien Notes Indenture). The maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility is limited by a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and inventory as follows: • 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus • the lesser of (i) 85% of the appraised net-orderly-liquidation value of eligible inventory or (ii) 65% of eligible inventory valued at the lower of cost (based on a first-in first-out basis) and market value thereof (net of intercompany profits). The borrowing base is subject to a $25,000 deduction and customary reserves, which are to be established by the agent for the ABL Facility lenders in its permitted discretion from time to time. At March 31, 2019 , no borrowings were outstanding under the ABL Facility and $60,000 was available for borrowing. Borrowing is permitted under the ABL Credit Facility only to the extent that, after consideration of the application of the proceeds of the borrowing, the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents would not exceed $180,000 . At March 31, 2019 , the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents significantly exceeded $180,000 . In addition, loans under the ABL Facility shall not be made if after incurrence of such loans there will be more than $180,000 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in the aggregate on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries. The ABL Facility permits both base rate borrowings and LIBOR borrowings. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 250 basis points or 150 basis points above base rate, as applicable, with a fee on unused borrowings initially at an annual rate of 50 basis points until March 31, 2017 and thereafter at annual rates of either 37.5 or 50 basis points based on average quarterly historical utilization under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility matures on January 14, 2021. In addition, customary mandatory prepayments of the loans under the ABL Facility are required upon the occurrence of certain events including, without limitation, certain dispositions of assets outside of the ordinary course of business in respect of certain collateral securing the ABL Facility, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet exceeding $180,000 for a period of seven consecutive business days, and certain casualty and condemnation events. The Company’s obligations under the ABL Facility (and certain related obligations and obligations in respect of certain hedging arrangements) are (a) guaranteed by the Current Guarantors and are required to be guaranteed by each material domestic subsidiary of Pyxus (collectively with the Company, the “Credit Parties”) and (b) secured by the Collateral. The liens and other security interests granted by the Credit Parties on the Collateral for the benefit of the ABL Lenders (and certain related secured parties) are, subject to certain permitted liens, secured by first-priority security interests on a pari passu basis with the security interests securing the First Lien Notes, with respective priorities in a waterfall with respect to portions of the Collateral as set forth in the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement described above. Under the terms of the ABL Facility, if (i) an event of default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility (based on the lesser of the commitments thereunder and the borrowing base) (the “Excess Availability”) falls below the greater of (x) $12,500 and (y) 25% of the lesser of (A) the commitments under the ABL Facility at such time and (B) the borrowing base at such time (such greater amount being the “Cash Dominion Threshold”) for more than three consecutive business days, the Credit Parties will become subject to cash dominion, which will require daily prepayment of loans under the ABL Facility with the cash deposited in certain deposit accounts of the Credit Parties, including concentration accounts, and will restrict the Credit Parties’ ability to transfer cash from their concentration accounts to their disbursement accounts. Such cash dominion period shall end when (i) if arising as a result of a continuing event of default, such event of default ceases to exist, or (ii) if arising as a result of non-compliance with the Excess Availability threshold, Excess Availability shall be equal to or greater than the Cash Dominion Threshold for a period of 30 consecutive days. The ABL Credit Agreement governing the ABL Facility contains a springing covenant requiring that the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio be no less than 1.00 to 1.00 during any period commencing when Excess Availability is less than the greater of (x) $10,000 and (y) 20% of the lesser of (A) the commitments under the ABL Facility at such time and (B) the borrowing base at such time (such greater amount being the “Financial Covenant Threshold”) until such time as Excess Availability has been equal to or greater than the Financial Covenant Threshold for a period of 30 consecutive days. The ABL Credit Agreement governing the ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (subject, in each case, to exceptions and qualifications) and events of defaults, including covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things incur certain guarantees, merge, consolidate or dispose of substantially all of its assets, grant liens on assets, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions or restricted payments, create certain dividend and payment restrictions on subsidiaries, repurchase or redeem capital stock or prepay subordinated or certain other material debt (including the First Lien Notes and the Company’s senior secured second lien notes due 2021), make certain investments, agree to restrictions on the payment of dividends to Pyxus by its subsidiaries, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including equity interests of subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions. The ABL credit agreement restricts the Company from paying any dividends during the term of this facility subject to the satisfaction of specified financial ratios. In addition, the indentures governing the Company's First Lien Notes and its senior secured second lien notes due 2021 contain similar restrictions and also prohibits the payment of dividends and other distributions if the Company fails to satisfy a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges of at least 2.0 to 1.0. At March 31, 2019 , the Company did not satisfy this fixed charge coverage ratio. Senior Secured Second Lien Notes On August 1, 2013, the Company issued $735,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 9.875% senior secured second lien notes due 2021 (the "Second Lien Notes"). The Second Lien Notes were sold at 98% of the face value, for gross proceeds of approximately $720,300 . The Second Lien Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.875% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2014, to holders of record at the close of business on the preceding January 1 and July 1, respectively. The Second Lien Notes will mature on July 15, 2021. The Second Lien Notes are secured by a second priority lien on specified property of Pyxus International, Inc., Alliance One International, LLC, and Alliance One North America, LLC. The indenture governing the Second Lien Notes restricts (subject to exceptions and qualifications) the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock, pay dividends and make other restricted payments (including restricted investments), sell assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, enter into transactions with its affiliates, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, create certain dividend and payment restrictions on its restricted subsidiaries, and designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The Second Lien Notes are guaranteed by Alliance One International, LLC and Alliance One North America, LLC. The indenture governing the Second Lien Notes requires the Company's future material domestic subsidiaries to also guarantee the Second Lien Notes. If a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes) occurs at any time, holders of the Second Lien Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Second Lien Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of Second Lien Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and special interest, excluding, the date of repurchase. In connection with the issuance of the Second Lien Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement that requires the Company to pay additional special interest on the Second Lien Notes, at increasing annual rates up to a maximum of 1.0% per year, if the Company fails to timely comply with its registration obligations thereunder. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, on December 20, 2013, the Company completed a registered exchange offer in which it offered to exchange for the outstanding Second Lien Notes an equal amount of new Second Lien Notes having identical terms in all material respects. During the year ended March 31, 2019 , the Company purchased $27,260 of the Second Lien Notes on the open market. All purchased securities were canceled leaving $635,686 of the Second Lien Notes outstanding at March 31, 2019 . Associated costs paid were $68 and related discounts were $(2,293) resulting in net cash repayment of $25,987 and recorded in repayment of long-term borrowings in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Deferred financing costs and amortization of original issue discount of $472 were accelerated. During the year ended March 31, 2018 , the Company purchased $28,645 of the Second Lien Notes on the open market. All purchased securities were canceled leaving $662,946 of the Second Lien Notes outstanding at March 31, 2018 . Associated costs paid were $72 and related discounts were $(3,730) resulting in net cash repayment of $25,644 and recorded in Repayment of Long-Term Borrowings in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Deferred financing costs and amortization of original issue discount of $684 were accelerated. Covenants Limiting Dividends The ABL Credit Agreement restricts the Company from paying any dividends during the term of the ABL Facility subject to the satisfaction of specified financial ratios. In addition, the indentures governing the First Lien Notes and the Second Lien Notes contain similar restrictions and also prohibit the payment of dividends and other distributions if the Company fails to satisfy a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges of at least 2.0 to 1.0. At March 31, 2019 , the Company did not satisfy this fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company may from time to time not satisfy this ratio and failure to meet this fixed charge coverage ratio does not constitute an event of default. Foreign Seasonal Lines of Credit As of March 31, 2019 , the Company did not have any long-term foreign seasonal lines of credit outstanding. Please refer to Note 7. "Short-Term Borrowing Arrangements" for further information on short-term foreign seasonal lines of credit. Summary of Debt Certain debt agreements contain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions. The Company has considered its short-term liquidity needs, the adequacy of estimated cash flows from operating activities, and other financing sources to meet these needs. The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings from foreign lines of credit, accounts receivable securitization programs, and cash flows from operating activities are sufficient to meet anticipated cash flow needs for operations, capital expenditures, debt service obligations, and other fees payable under other contractual obligations for the foreseeable future.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock–Based Compensation The Company expenses the fair value of grants of various stock-based compensation programs over the vesting period of the awards. Awards granted are recognized as compensation expense based on the grant date estimated fair value. The following summarizes certain data for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans: Year Ended March 31, 2019 2018 2017 Compensation expense for all stock based compensation plans $ 1,544 $ 1,189 $ 1,712 Fair value of stock options vested — 275 315 The Company’s shareholders approved the 2016 Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on August 12, 2016, which is the successor to the 2007 Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) as amended on August 11, 2011 and August 6, 2009. The 2016 Plan is an omnibus plan that provides the flexibility to grant a variety of equity awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock units, performance awards, and incentive awards to officers, directors, and employees of the Company. As of March 31, 2019 , a maximum of 1,109 shares may be issued under the 2016 Plan, inclusive of 900 shares from the 2016 Plan and 209 shares carried forward from the 2007 Plan. The 2016 Plan requires that the shares available for grant be reduced by twice the number of shares issued for any awards other than options or stock appreciation rights. This has resulted in decreasing the shares available to grant by 140 shares. As of March 31, 2019 , 323 equity share awards have been granted, 183 equity share award have been cancelled, and 40 shares vested under the 2016 Plan, leaving 436 shares available for future awards under the 2016 Plan, inclusive of 620 shares from the 2016 Plan and 209 shares carried forward from the 2007 Plan. Total equity awards outstanding are 667 shares, inclusive of 427 share awards granted and outstanding under the previous 2007 plan and 240 share awards granted under the 2016 Plan. Shares issued are new shares which have been authorized and designated for award under the plans. Individual types of awards are discussed in greater detail below. Stock Option Awards Stock options allow for the purchase of common stock at a price determined at the time the option is granted. Stock options generally vest ratably over five years and generally expire after ten years . The fair value of these options is determined at grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model and includes estimates of forfeiture based on historical experience. The fair value is then recognized as compensation expense ratably over the vesting term of the options. No stock options were granted during the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 . The following summarizes the Company's option activity: Options Shares Weighted Weighted Aggregate Outstanding at March 31, 2016 470 $ 60.70 Forfeited (4 ) 66.73 Expired (8 ) 39.40 Outstanding at March 31, 2017 458 61.00 Expired (31 ) 74.80 Outstanding at March 31, 2018 427 60.00 Expired — — Outstanding at March 31, 2019 427 60.00 2.58 $ — Vested and expected to vest at March 31, 2019 — — — $ — Exercisable at March 31, 2019 427 60.00 2.58 $ — Intrinsic values represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, which is the difference between the Company’s closing stock price and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options. The expense related to stock option awards for the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 was $0 , $13 , and $277 , respectively. There were no options exercised in the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 . The following summarizes the movement in unvested options from March 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019 : Shares Weighted Average Aggregate Unvested at March 31, 2018 — $ — $ — Vested — — — Unvested at March 31, 2019 — $ — $ — Restricted Stock Restricted stock is common stock that is both nontransferable and forfeitable unless certain conditions are satisfied. The fair value of restricted shares is determined on grant date and is amortized over the vesting period. Restricted Stock Shares Weighted Average Restricted at March 31, 2016 — $ — Granted 28 16.74 Vested (28 ) 16.74 Restricted at March 31, 2017 — — Granted 28 26.05 Vested (28 ) 26.05 Restricted at March 31, 2018 — — Granted 32 17.48 Vested (32 ) 17.48 Restricted at March 31, 2019 — — Expense recognized due to the vesting of restricted stock awards was $563 , $441 , and $469 for the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 , respectively. Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock units differ from restricted stock in that zero shares are issued until restrictions lapse. Certain restricted stock units vest ratably over a three -year period and others vest 50% in the first year and 25% in each of the second and third years. The fair value of the restricted stock units is determined on the grant date and is amortized over the vesting period. Restricted Stock Units Shares Weighted Average Outstanding at March 31, 2016 89 $ 21.28 Granted 64 17.19 Vested (48 ) 25.43 Forfeited (1 ) 22.41 Outstanding at March 31, 2017 104 16.84 Granted 58 11.75 Vested (45 ) 17.61 Forfeited (1 ) 17.99 Outstanding at March 31, 2018 116 14.01 Granted 68 15.94 Vested (56 ) 14.35 Forfeited (4 ) 14.84 Outstanding at March 31, 2019 124 14.90 As of March 31, 2019 , there was $1,221 of remaining unamortized deferred compensation associated with these restricted stock units that will be expensed over the remaining service periods. Expense recognized due to the vesting of these awards was $982 , $682 and $805 during the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 , respectively. Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units Performance-based restricted stock units may vest at the end of either a two - or three -year performance period but the level of the awards to be earned at the end of the performance period is contingent upon attainment of specific business performance goals. If certain minimum performance levels are not attained, no compensation will be earned. The awards are variable in that compensation could range from 0% to 200% of the plan’s target contingent on the performance level attained. The table below includes the maximum number of restricted stock units that may be earned under the plan. Performance-Based Shares Weighted Average Outstanding as of March 31, 2016 52 $ 17.33 Granted 56 17.76 Forfeited (23 ) 26.81 Outstanding as of March 31, 2017 85 15.06 Granted 57 11.75 Forfeited — — Outstanding as of March 31, 2018 142 13.71 Granted 61 16.00 Forfeited (87 ) 14.05 Outstanding as of March 31, 2019 116 14.63 As of March 31, 2019 , the Company anticipates that no performance-based restricted stock units will vest resulting in no expense over the remaining service periods. There was $0 expense recognized for the years ending March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 . Cash-Settled Awards Cash-settled awards differ from the Company's other awards in that no shares will be issued and the cumulative compensation expense is recognized as a liability rather than equity. Under both of the current cash-settled awards, the fair value of the award is equal to the period-end closing price of one share. The liability recognized will be the product of the fair value multiplied ratably by the expired vesting term. The expense related to these awards is derived by adjusting the value of the liability. As a result, the expense will be variable as the value of the liability will increase or decrease subject to the period-end closing price. Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Units Cash-settled restricted stock units vest ratably over the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of award. Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Units Shares Weighted Average Outstanding as of March 31, 2017 13 $ 27.01 Vested (13 ) 27.05 Forfeited — — Outstanding as of March 31, 2018 — — Vested — — Forfeited — — Outstanding as of March 31, 2019 — — Expense recognized due to the vesting of these awards was $0 , $54 and $161 during the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 , respectively. Cash-Settled Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units Cash-settled performance-based restricted stock units vest at the end of a three -year performance period but the level of the award to vest is subject to similar performance criteria as the performance-based restricted stock units described above. The awards are also variable in that they range from 0% to 200% of the plan’s target contingent on the performance level attained. As of March 31, 2019 , there are no performance-based restricted stock units outstanding. Expense recognized due to the expected vesting of these awards was $0 during the year ended March 31, 2019. There was $0 expense recognized for the year ending March 31, 2019.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes As of March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 , the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $11,663 , $8,342 , and $15,196 , respectively, of which $9,578 would impact the Company’s March 31, 2019 effective tax rate if recognized. The following table presents the changes to unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 : 2019 2018 2017 Balance at April 1 $ 8,342 $ 15,196 $ 16,675 Increase for current year tax positions 447 482 275 Increase (reductions) for prior year tax positions 7,048 (7,296 ) (1,764 ) Impact of changes in exchange rates (227 ) (40 ) 10 Reduction for settlements (3,947 ) — — Balance at March 31 $ 11,663 $ 8,342 $ 15,196 The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , the Company accrued (reduced) interest, penalties and related exchange losses pertaining to unrecognized tax benefits of $(1,096) and $ 791 , respectively. As of March 31, 2019 , accrued interest and penalties totaled $1,175 and $883 , respectively. During the year ending March 31, 2019 , the Company reduced its accrued interest and penalties by $97 related to the expiration of statute of limitations. As of March 31, 2018 , accrued interest and penalties totaled $1,936 and $1,218 , respectively. During the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 , the Company’s total liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including the related interest and penalties, and associated exchange losses, increased from $11,496 to $13,721 . The change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits relates to additional reserves recorded in the U.S. of $2,553 , expiration of statute of limitations of approximately $174 and decreases related to prior period positions of approximately $155 . Of the change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, unrecognized tax benefits of $2,055 and $447 were recorded as a reduction of the foreign tax credit and the U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward, respectively. The U.S. federal foreign tax credit carryforward was reduced for certain positions reflected in the computation of the transition tax as filed on the U.S. tax return in the fourth quarter. U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward was reduced to reflect the impacts of certain tax accounting methods on GILTI. To the extent that they represent an underpayment of taxes, the Company expects to continue accruing interest expenses related to the remaining unrecognized tax benefits. Additionally, the Company is subject to fluctuations in the unrecognized tax liability due to currency exchange rate movements. It is reasonably possible that the Company will settle positions currently accrued for $3,009 in the next twelve months. In addition, it is reasonably possible that the Company's unrecognized tax benefits may decrease in the next twelve months by $485 due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, but the Company must acknowledge circumstances can change due to unexpected developments in the law. In certain jurisdictions, tax authorities have challenged positions that the Company has taken that resulted in recognizing benefits that are material to its financial statements. The Company believes it is more likely than not that it will prevail in these situations and accordingly have not recorded liabilities for these positions. The Company expects the challenged positions to be settled at a time greater than twelve months from its balance sheet date. The Company and its subsidiaries file a U.S. federal consolidated income tax return as well as returns in several U.S. states and a number of foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company’s earliest open tax year for U.S. federal income tax purposes was its fiscal year ended March 31, 2016; open tax years in state and foreign jurisdictions generally range from three to six years. In applicable jurisdictions, the Company’s tax attributes from prior periods remain subject to adjustment Income Tax Provision The components of income (loss) before income taxes, equity in net income of investee companies, and minority interests consisted of the following: Years Ended March 31, 2019 2018 2017 U.S. $ (86,315 ) $ (86,087 ) $ (87,963 ) Non-U.S. 43,398 69,958 48,321 Total $ (42,917 ) $ (16,129 ) $ (39,642 ) The details of the amount shown for income taxes in the statements of consolidated operations and comprehensive income (loss) follow: Years Ended March 31, 2019 2018 2017 Current Federal $ 2,018 $ 8,247 $ (926 ) State — — — Non-U.S. 22,741 22,972 23,974 $ 24,759 $ 31,219 $ 23,048 Deferred Federal $ 6,129 $ (98,785 ) $ — State — — — Non-U.S. 6,952 8,802 432 $ 13,081 $ (89,983 ) $ 432 Total $ 37,840 $ (58,764 ) $ 23,480 The reasons for the difference between income tax expense based on income before income taxes, equity in net income of investee companies, and minority interests and the amount computed by applying the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to such income are as follows: Years Ended March 31, 2019 2018 2017 Tax expense (benefit) at U.S. statutory rate $ (9,013 ) $ (5,098 ) $ (13,875 ) Effect of non-U.S. income taxes 462 (2,137 ) (6,410 ) Tax on future remittances (1,038 ) (22,735 ) 3,736 Foreign tax credits (173 ) 1,328 — Change in valuation allowance 17,622 (106,804 ) 13,748 Increase (decrease) in reserves for uncertain tax positions 5,304 (5,871 ) 264 Change in tax rates (66 ) 66,935 (308 ) Exchange effects and currency translation 12,904 8,282 6,046 Permanent items (677 ) (78 ) 4,270 Write-down of state tax loss carryovers — — 6,430 Write-up/(write-down) of income tax payable (1,163 ) 109 52 Write-down of withholding tax recoverable — — 8,990 Deductible dividends (3,046 ) (3,338 ) (968 ) Withholding tax expense 2,577 1,868 1,572 Benefit of other tax credits (377 ) (3,176 ) (1,152 ) Nondeductible interest 1,624 1,052 1,085 Transition tax after foreign tax credits 1,827 10,899 — U.S. taxes on non-U.S. earnings 11,073 — — Actual tax expense (benefit) $ 37,840 $ (58,764 ) $ 23,480 The deferred tax liabilities (assets) are comprised of the following: March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018 Deferred tax assets: Reserves and accruals $ (20,539 ) $ (18,074 ) Tax credits (3,159 ) (5,146 ) Tax loss carryforwards (88,924 ) (101,884 ) Derivative transactions (1,580 ) (1,038 ) Postretirement and other benefits (15,465 ) (15,766 ) Unrealized exchange loss (7,793 ) (4,923 ) Non-deductible interest carryforward (13,607 ) — Other (1,531 ) (3,906 ) Gross deferred tax assets (152,598 ) (150,737 ) Valuation allowance 36,524 19,742 Total deferred tax assets $ (116,074 ) $ (130,995 ) Deferred tax liabilities: Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries $ 5,516 $ 6,654 Intangible assets 13,936 14,766 Fixed assets 6,984 7,992 Total deferred tax liabilities $ 26,436 $ 29,412 Net deferred tax asset $ (89,638 ) $ (101,583 ) The following presents the breakdown between deferred tax (assets) liabilities: March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018 Noncurrent asset $ (116,451 ) $ (130,520 ) Noncurrent liability 26,813 28,937 Net deferred tax asset $ (89,638 ) $ (101,583 ) During the year ended March 31, 2019 , the net deferred tax asset balance increased by $1,252 for certain adjustments not included in the deferred tax expense (benefit), primarily for deferred tax assets related to pension accruals recorded in equity as part of other comprehensive income (loss), currency translation adjustments, and other items not included in the deferred tax expense (benefit). For the year ended March 31, 2019 , the valuation allowance increased by $16,782 , primarily due to the limitation on deductible interest under U.S. IRC section 163j, which totaled $13,032 . The valuation allowance is inclusive of $156 related to adjustments booked to other comprehensive income and $687 due to currency translation adjustments. The valuation allowance is based on the Company's assessment that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets, primarily foreign tax credits and deferred interest expense, will not be realized in the foreseeable future. This is principally due to the impact of the Company's current and foreseeable capital structure on U.S. federal taxable income. At March 31, 2019 , the Company has U.S federal tax loss carryovers of $356,017 , non-U.S. tax loss carryovers of $30,405 , and U.S. state tax loss carryovers of $689,450 . The U.S. federal tax loss carryovers will expire in 2031 and thereafter. Of the non-U.S. tax loss carryovers, $16,540 will expire within the next five years , $7,613 will expire in later years, and $6,253 can be carried forward indefinitely. Of the U.S. state tax loss carryovers, $1,495 will expire within the next five years , $661,883 will expire in later years, and $26,072 can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company is recognizing a tax benefit related to tax losses generated in the current year of $826 to be utilized in foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company has foreign tax credit carryovers in the U.S. of $4,632 , of which $2,663 will expire within the next five years . These amounts reflect gross net operating losses ("NOLs") and foreign tax credits for tax return basis which are different from financial statement attributes, primarily due to the reduction of the financial statement NOLs and foreign tax credits under the FASB's guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company had Canadian investment tax credit carryforwards of approximately $295 that will expire beyond five years. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate timeframe and of the appropriate character. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets, net of applicable valuation allowances, will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced or increased if estimates of future taxable income change during the carryover period. A provision of $5,516 has been made for U.S. and foreign taxes that may result from future remittances of foreign earnings of $40,579 . No provision has been made for U.S. or foreign taxes that may result from future remittances of approximately $486,678 at March 31, 2019 and $389,568 at March 31, 2018 of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because management expects that such earnings will be reinvested overseas indefinitely. Due to the one-time transition tax on foreign earnings required by the 2017 Tax Act and FY2019 earnings being subject to GILTI inclusion, any additional taxes due with respect to such earnings or the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of the Company’s foreign investments would generally be limited to foreign withholding taxes if the Company’s indefinite reinvestment assertion changes. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on these unremitted earnings is not practicable. Enactment of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law. The Tax Act resulted in significant revisions to the U.S. Federal corporate income tax law by, among other things, reducing the corporate income tax rate beginning after January 1, 2018 to 21% , implementing a modified territorial tax system that includes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries and limiting the tax deductions for interest expense. In response, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 which allows issuers to recognize provisional estimates of the impact of the Tax Act in their financial statements, or, in circumstances where estimates cannot be made, to disclose and recognize at a later date. The reasonable estimate is subject to adjustment during a "measurement period", not to exceed one year from date of enactment, until the accounting is complete. The Company completed its accounting related to the enactment of the Tax Act as of December 31, 2018. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded adjustments to the provisional tax expense initially recorded in the December 31, 2017 financial statements upon adoption of the Tax Act. An adjustment of $1,827

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Benefits	Employee Benefits Retirement Benefits The Company has multiple benefit plans. The Company has a defined benefit plan that provides retirement benefits for substantially all U.S. salaried personnel based on years of service rendered, age, and compensation. The Company also maintains various other Excess Benefit and Supplemental Plans that provide additional benefits to (1) certain individuals whose compensation and the resulting benefits that would have actually been paid are limited by regulations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and (2) certain individuals in key positions. In addition, a Supplemental Retirement Account Plan ("SRAP"), a defined contribution program, is maintained. The Company's policy is to contribute amounts to the plans sufficient to meet or exceed funding requirements of local governmental rules and regulations. Additional non-U.S. plans sponsored by certain subsidiaries cover substantially all of the full-time employees located in Germany, Turkey and the United Kingdom. During the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2017, the Company's activity of cash payments triggered settlement accounting. The settlement accounting resulted in settlement losses for the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2017 of $1,131 and $1,454 , respectively, recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") and a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2017, respectively. In addition, as a result of payments made to employees due to involuntary dismissal in a foreign subsidiary in the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2017, special termination benefits of $28 and $14 , respectively, were recorded in SG&A and the benefit obligation.

Those estimates are based on a combination of factors including the current market interest rates and valuation levels, consensus earnings expectations and historical long-term risk premiums. To determine the aggregate return for the pension trust, the projected return of each individual asset class is then weighted according to the allocation to that investment area in the trust’s long-term asset allocation policy. A March 31 measurement date is used for the pension, postretirement, other postemployment, and employee savings plans. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was determined based upon historical investment performance, current asset allocation, and estimates of future investment performance by asset class. The following assumptions were used to determine the benefit obligations disclosed for the pension plans at March 31, 2019 and 2018 : U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans March 31, March 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Discount rate 3.79% 3.91% 2.50% 2.75% Rate of increase in future compensation Not applicable Not applicable 5.99% 6.04% Net gain (loss) and prior service credits (costs) for the combined U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans expected to be amortized from accumulated comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost during fiscal 2020 is $(960) and $(907) , respectively. Plan Assets The Company’s asset allocations and the percentage of the fair value of plan assets at March 31, 2019 and 2018 by asset category are as follows: Target Allocations U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans March 31, 2019 March 31, March 31, (percentages) 2019 2018 2019 2018 Asset category: Cash and cash equivalents — % 1.4 % 4.6 % 1.2 % 1.3 % Equity securities 36.0 % 35.2 % 33.9 % 14.4 % 36.4 % Debt securities 24.0 % 23.4 % 22.5 % 46.6 % 24.8 % Real estate and other investments 40.0 % 40.0 % 39.0 % 37.8 % 37.5 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % The Company's investment objectives are to generate consistent total investment return to pay anticipated plan benefits, while minimizing long-term costs and portfolio volatility. Financial objectives underlying this policy include maintaining plan contributions at a reasonable level relative to benefits provided and assuring that unfunded obligations do not grow to a level that would adversely affect the Company's financial health. Manager and composite portfolio performance is measured against investment objectives and objective benchmarks, including but not limited to: Citibank 90 Day Treasury Bill, Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Govt/Credit, Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate, Russell 1000 Value, Russell 1000 Growth, Russell 2500 Value, Russell 2500 Growth, MSCI EAFE, HFR Absolute Return, HFR Equity Hedge, and others. The Portfolio Objective is to exceed the actuarial return on assets assumption. Management and the Plan's Consultant regularly review portfolio allocations and periodically rebalance the portfolio to the targeted allocations according to the guidelines set forth in the Company's investment policy. Equity securities do not include the Company's common stock. The Company's diversification and risk control processes serve to minimize the concentration and experience of risk. There are no significant concentrations of risk, in terms of sector, industry, geography or individual company or companies.

The following table summarizes the plan assets recognized and measured at fair value using the net asset value and the inputs used to determine the fair value: March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018 Fair Value Unfunded Commitments Redemption Frequency Redemption Notice Period Fair Value Unfunded Commitments Redemption Frequency Redemption Notice Period Diversified funds $ 8 None Self-Liquidating None $ 8 None Self-Liquidating None Real estate and other 5,482 None Quarterly 60 Days 5,700 None Quarterly 60 Days The fair value hierarchy is described in Note 18. "Fair Value Measurements” . Plan assets are recognized and measured at fair value in accordance with the accounting standards regarding fair value measurements. The following are general descriptions of asset categories, as well as the valuation methodologies and inputs used to determine the fair value of each major category of plan assets. Cash and cash equivalents include short-term investment funds, primarily in diversified portfolios of investment grade money market instruments that are valued using quoted market prices or other valuation methods, and classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities are investments in common stock of domestic and international corporations in a variety of industry sectors, and are valued primarily using quoted market prices and generally classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Fixed income securities include U.S. Treasuries and agencies, debt obligations of foreign governments and debt obligations in corporations of domestic and foreign issuers. The fair value of fixed income securities are based on observable prices for identical or comparable assets, adjusted using benchmark curves, sector grouping, matrix pricing, broker/dealer quotes and issuer spreads, and are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in equity and fixed income mutual funds are publicly traded and valued primarily using quoted market prices and generally classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in commingled funds used in certain non-U.S. pension plans are not publicly traded, but the underlying assets held in these funds are traded in active markets and the prices for these assets are readily observable. Holdings in these commingled funds are generally classified as Level 2 investments. Real estate investments include those in private limited partnerships that invest in various commercial and residential real estate projects both domestically and internationally as well as publicly traded REIT securities. The fair values of private real estate assets are typically determined by using income and/or cost approaches or comparable sales approach, taking into consideration discount and capitalization rates, financial conditions, local market conditions and the status of the capital markets, and thus are generally classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Publicly traded REIT securities are valued primarily using quoted market prices and are generally classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Diversified investments include those in limited partnerships that invest in companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange and mutual funds with an absolute return strategy. Limited partnership investment strategies in non-publicly traded companies include leveraged buyouts, venture capital, distressed investments and investments in natural resources. These investments are valued using inputs such as trading multiples of comparable public securities, merger and acquisition activity and pricing data from the most recent equity financing taking into consideration illiquidity, and thus are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Mutual fund investments with absolute return strategies are publicly traded and valued using quoted market prices and are generally classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Cash Flows Contributions The Company expects to contribute $4,085 to its U.S. benefits plans and $2,549 to its non-U.S. benefit plans in fiscal 2020 . Estimated Future Benefit Payments The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid: Pension Benefits Other Benefits U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans March 31, 2019 March 31, 2019 March 31, 2019 March 31, 2019 2020 $ 8,872 $ 3,431 $ 335 $ 153 2021 6,436 3,193 336 158 2022 6,251 2,908 290 163 2023 6,070 3,113 290 168 2024 6,030 3,036 288 174 Years 2024-2028 27,935 17,422 1,399 953 The Company sponsors 401(k) savings plans for most of its salaried employees located in the United States. The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the Pension Equity Plan were replaced by the SRAP during 2008. The Company also maintains defined contribution plans at various foreign locations. The Company’s contributions to the defined contribution plans were $4,939 , $4,627 , and $4,843 the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 . Postretirement Health and Life Insurance Benefits The Company provides certain health and life insurance benefits to retired U.S. employees (and their eligible dependents) who meet specified age and service requirements. The plan excludes new employees after September 2005 and caps the Company’s annual cost commitment to postretirement benefits for retirees. The Company retains the right, subject to existing agreements, to modify or eliminate these postretirement health and life insurance benefits in the future. The Company provides certain health and life insurance benefits to retired Brazilian directors and certain retirees located in Europe including their eligible dependents who meet specified requirements. The following assumptions were used to determine non-U.S. Plan postretirement benefit obligations at March 31 : 2019 2018 Discount rate 7.98 % 8.66 % Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year 7.33 % 8.00 % Ultimate trend rate 7.33 % 8.00 % A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would not have a significant effect on the amounts reported for health care plans. For the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , the annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits is not applicable as the Company’s annual cost commitment to the benefits is capped and not adjusted for future medical inflation. Additional retiree medical benefits are provided to certain U.S. individuals in accordance with their employment contracts. For the year ended March 31, 2019 the additional cost related to these contracts was $34 . Prior service credits of $708 and unrecognized net actuarial losses of $438 are expected to be amortized from accumulated comprehensive income into postretirement healthcare benefits net periodic benefit cost for the combined U.S. and non-U.S. postretirement benefits during fiscal 2020. A reconciliation of benefit obligations, plan assets, and funded status of the plans is as follows: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Total March 31, March 31, March 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 2019 2018 Change in benefit obligation Benefit obligation, beginning $ 4,372 $ 4,361 $ 2,112 $ 2,085 $ 6,484 $ 6,446 Service cost 7 7 7 7 14 14 Interest cost 154 141 151 190 305 331 Effect of currency translation — — (291 ) (92 ) (291 ) (92 ) Actuarial losses 225 219 413 48 638 267 Benefits paid (313 ) (356 ) (114 ) (126 ) (427 ) (482 ) Benefit obligation, ending $ 4,445 $ 4,372 $ 2,278 $ 2,112 $ 6,723 $ 6,484 Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets, beginning $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Employer contributions 313 356 114 126 427 482 Benefits paid (313 ) (356 ) (114 ) (126 ) (427 ) (482 ) Fair value of plan assets, ending $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Net amount recognized $ (4,445 ) $ (4,372 ) $ (2,278 ) $ (2,112 ) $ (6,723 ) $ (6,484 ) U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Total March 31, March 31, March 31, 2019 2018 2019 2018 2019 2018 Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet consist of: Accrued current benefit liability recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ (335 ) $ (377 ) $ (153 ) $ (139 ) $ (488 ) $ (516 ) Accrued non-current benefit liability recorded in Pension, postretirement, and other long-term liabilities (4,110 ) (3,995 ) (2,125 ) (1,973 ) (6,235 ) (5,968 ) Net amount recognized $ (4,445 ) $ (4,372 ) $ (2,278 ) $ (2,112 ) $ (6,723 ) $ (6,484 ) There are no plan assets for 2019 or 2018 . Net periodic benefit costs included the following components: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans March 31, March 31, 2019 2018 2017 2019 2018 2017 Service cost $ 7 $ 7 $ 8 $ 7 $ 7 $ 4 Interest cost 154 141 132 151 190 148 Prior service credit (699 ) (698 ) (698 ) (10 ) (11 ) (11 ) Actuarial losses (gains) 402 418 413 31 40 3 Net periodic benefit costs (income) $ (136 ) $ (132 ) $ (145 ) $ 179 $ 226 $ 144 The Company continues to evaluate ways to better manage these benefits and control their costs. Any changes in the plan or revisions to assumptions that affect the amount of expected future benefits may have a significant effect on the amount of the reported obligation and annual expense. The Company expects to contribute $488 to its combined U.S. and non-U.S. postretirement benefit plans in fiscal 2020 . Employees in operations located in certain other foreign operations are covered by various postretirement benefit arrangements. For these foreign plans, the cost of benefits charged to income was not material in the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 .

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information The Company's operations are managed and reported in ten operating segments that are organized by product category and geographic area and aggregated into three reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Leaf - North America, Leaf - Other Regions, and Other Products and Services. In reviewing operations, the Company concluded that the economic characteristics of Leaf - North America operations were dissimilar from the other Leaf geographic operating segments in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America, which have been consolidated into one reportable segment, "Leaf - Other Regions". The five other operating segments are aggregated into the "Other Products and Services" reportable segment as they do not meet the quantitative thresholds to be individually reportable. These segment groupings are consistent with information used by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. The types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows: • Leaf - North America ships tobacco to manufacturers of cigarettes and other consumer tobacco products around the world. Leaf - North America is more concentrated on processing and other activities compared to the rest of the world. • Leaf - Other Regions ships tobacco to manufacturers of cigarettes and other consumer tobacco products around the world. Leaf - Other Regions sells a small amount of processed but un-threshed flue-cured and burley tobacco in loose-leaf and bundle form to certain customers. • Other Products and Services primarily consists of cannabis and e-liquid products. Cannabis was legalized for adult use in Canada on October 17, 2018. The Company's cannabis products are sold primarily to municipally-owned retailers in the provinces of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia in the Canadian market. E-liquids products are sold through retailers and directly to consumers via e-commerce platforms and other distribution channels. The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon information included in management reports. Corporate general expenses are allocated to the segments based upon segment selling, general, and administrative expenses. Other than those described previously, the accounting policies of each segment are the same and are described in Note 1. "Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" .

Foreign Currency Translation [Abstract]
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements of foreign entities included in the consolidated financial statements have been translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, for which the local currency is the functional currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from translation of financial statements are reflected as a separate component of other comprehensive income. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, for which the U.S. dollar is the functional currency and which have certain transactions denominated in a local currency, are remeasured into U.S. dollars. The remeasurement of local currencies into U.S. dollars creates remeasurement adjustments that are included in net income. Exchange (gains) losses in the years ended March 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 were $(2,383) , $5,396 , and $(11,816) , respectively, and are included in the respective statements of income in cost of sales and income taxes.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies and Other Information	Contingencies and Other Information Non-Income Tax The government in the Brazilian State of Parana (“Parana”) issued a tax assessment on October 26, 2007 with respect to local intrastate trade tax credits that result primarily from tobacco transferred between states within Brazil. The assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $3,380 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at March 31, 2019 is $11,759 . On March 18, 2014, the government in Brazilian State of Santa Catarina also issued a tax assessment with respect to local intrastate trade tax credits that result primarily from tobacco transferred between states within Brazil. The assessment for intrastate trade tax credits taken is $2,924 and the total assessment including penalties and interest at March 31, 2019 is $7,685 . The Company believes it has properly complied with Brazilian law and will contest any assessment through the judicial process. Should the Company lose in the judicial process, the loss of the intrastate trade tax credits would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company. The Company also has local intrastate trade tax credits in the Brazil State of Rio Grande do Sul and the State of Santa Catarina. These jurisdictions permit the sale or transfer of excess credits to third parties, however approval must be obtained from the tax authorities. The Company has agreements with the state governments regarding the amounts and timing of credits that can be sold. The tax credits have a carrying value of $8,332 . The intrastate trade tax credits are monitored for impairment in future periods based on market conditions and the Company’s ability to use or sell the tax credits. In 1969, the Brazilian government created a tax credit program that allowed companies to earn IPI tax credits (“IPI credits”) based on the value of their exports. The government began to phase out this program in 1979, which resulted in numerous lawsuits between taxpayers and the Brazilian government. The Company has a long legal history with respect to credits it earned while the IPI credit program was in effect. In 2001, the Company won a claim related to certain IPI credits it earned between 1983 and 1990. The Brazilian government appealed this decision and numerous rulings and appeals were rendered on behalf of both the government and the Company from 2001 through 2013. Because of this favorable ruling, the Company began to use these earned IPI credits to offset federal taxes in 2004 and 2005, until it received a Judicial Order to suspend the IPI offsetting in 2005. The value of the federal taxes offset in 2004 and 2005 was $24,142 and the Company established a reserve on these credits at the time of offsetting as they were not yet realizable due to the legal uncertainty that existed. Specifically, the Company extinguished other federal tax liabilities using IPI credits and recorded a liability in Pension, Postretirement and Other Long-Term Liabilities to reflect that the credits were not realizable at that time due to the prevalent legal uncertainty. On March 7, 2013, the Brazilian Supreme Court rendered a final decision in favor of the Company that recognized the validity of the IPI credits and secured the Company's right to benefit from the IPI credits earned from March 1983 to October 1990. This final decision expressly stated the Company has the right to the IPI credits. The Company estimates the total amount of the IPI credits to be approximately $94,316 at March 31, 2013. Since the March 2013 ruling definitively (without the government's ability to appeal) granted the Company the ownership of the IPI credits generated between 1983 and 1990, the Company believes the amount of IPI credits that were used to offset other federal taxes in 2004 and 2005 are realizable beyond a reasonable doubt. Accordingly, at March 31, 2013, the Company recorded the $24,142 IPI credits it realized in the Statements of Consolidated Operations in Other Income. No further benefit has been recognized pending the outcome of the judicial procedure to ascertain the final amount as those amounts have not yet been realized. In addition to the above-mentioned matter, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in other litigation or legal matters incidental to their business activities, including tax matters. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company is vigorously defending them and does not currently expect that any of them will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial position. However, should one or more of these matters be resolved in a manner adverse to its current expectation, the effect on the Company’s results of operations for a particular fiscal reporting period could be material. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records all known asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) for which the liability can be reasonably estimated. Currently, it has identified an ARO associated with one of its facilities that requires it to restore the land to its initial condition upon vacating the facility. The Company has not recognized a liability under generally accepted accounting principles for this ARO because the fair value of restoring the land at this site cannot be reasonably estimated since the settlement date is unknown at this time. The settlement date is unknown because the land restoration is not required until title is returned to the government, and the Company has no current or future plans to return the title. The Company will recognize a liability in the period in which sufficient information is available to reasonably estimate its fair value.

Disclosure of Securitized or Asset-backed Financing Arrangement Assets and Other Financial Assets Managed Together [Abstract]
Sale of Receivables	Sale of Receivables During the year ended March 31, 2019 , the Company sold trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions under two accounts receivable securitization programs. Under the first program, the Company continuously sells trade receivables to a special purpose entity, which sells 100% of the receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution. This program allows the Company to receive a cash payment and a deferred purchase price receivable for sold receivables. Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the special purpose entity, the receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and upon the sale and transfer of the receivables from the special purpose entity to the unaffiliated financial institutions, effective control of the receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institution, which has all rights, including the right to pledge or sell the receivables. During the year ended March 31, 2019 , the investment limit of this program was decreased from $155,000 to $125,000 trade receivables. For the first program, the Company incurred program costs of $930 and $1,130 during the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 which were included in other income in the statements of consolidated operations. The program requires a minimum level of deferred purchase price to be retained by the Company in connection with the sales. The Company continues to service, administer, and collect the receivables on behalf of the special purpose entity and receives a servicing fee of 0.5% of serviced receivables per annum. As the Company estimates the fee it receives in return for its obligation to service these receivables is at fair value, no servicing assets or liabilities are recognized. Servicing fees recognized were not material and are recorded as a reduction of selling, general, and administrative expenses within the statements of consolidated operations. The agreement for the second securitization program allows the Company to receive a cash payment and a deferred purchase price receivable for sold receivables. The Company offers trade receivables for sale to an unaffiliated financial institution which are then subject to acceptance by the unaffiliated financial institution. Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the unaffiliated financial institution, the receivables are isolated from the Company and its affiliates, and effective control of the receivables is passed to the unaffiliated financial institution, which has all rights, including the right to pledge or sell the receivables. The Company receives no servicing fee from the unaffiliated financial institution and as a result, has established a servicing liability based upon unobservable inputs, primarily discounted cash flow. As of March 31, 2019 , the investment limit under the second program was $125,000 trade receivables. Under the programs, all of the receivables sold for cash are removed from the consolidated balance sheets. A portion of the purchase price for the receivables is paid by the unaffiliated financial institutions in cash and the balance is a deferred purchase price receivable, which is paid as payments on the receivables are collected from account debtors. The net cash proceeds received by the Company in cash at the time of sale (cash purchase price) are included as cash provided by operating activities in the statements of consolidated cash flows. The deferred purchase price receivable represents a continuing involvement and a beneficial interest in the transferred financial assets and is recognized at fair value as part of the sale transaction. The deferred purchase price receivables are included in trade and other receivables, net in the consolidated balance sheets and are valued using unobservable inputs (i.e., level three inputs), primarily discounted cash flow. On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15 and in accordance with this guidance, the net cash proceeds received by the Company as deferred purchase price are included as cash provided by investing activities in the statements of consolidated cash flows. Additionally, cash obtained as a beneficial interest for transferring trade receivables in a securitization transaction has been added as a non-cash disclosure to the statements of consolidated cash flows. As servicer of these facilities, the Company may receive funds that are due to the unaffiliated financial institutions which are net settled on the next settlement date. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018 , trade and other receivables, net in the consolidated balance sheets has been reduced by $5,208 and $10,858 as a result of the net settlement. See Note 18. "Fair Value Measurements" for further information. The difference between the carrying amount of the receivables sold under these programs and the sum of the cash and fair value of the other assets received at the time of transfer is recognized as a loss on sale of the related receivables and recorded in other income in the statements of consolidated operations. The following summarizes the Company’s accounts receivable securitization information as of March 31 : 2019 2018 Receivables outstanding in facility as of March 31: $ 210,672 $ 228,621 Beneficial interest as of March 31 $ 40,332 $ 48,715 Servicing liability as of March 31 $ 90 $ 81 Cash proceeds for the years ended March 31: Cash purchase price $ 672,333 $ 694,517 Deferred purchase price 242,966 263,670 Service fees 576 473 Total $ 915,875 $ 958,660

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements 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. A three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs is utilized. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: • Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. • Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. • Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. The Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value include derivative instruments, securitized beneficial interests and guarantees. The application of the fair value guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities primarily includes assessments of investments in subsidiaries, goodwill and other intangible assets, and long-lived assets for potential impairment. The following present the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: March 31, 2019 March 31, 2018 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets / Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets / Assets Derivative financial instruments $ 186 $ — $ 186 $ — $ — $ — Securitized beneficial interests — 40,332 40,332 — 48,715 48,715 Total assets $ 186 $ 40,332 $ 40,518 $ — $ 48,715 $ 48,715 Liabilities Long-term debt $ 830,082 $ 703 $ 830,785 $ 911,264 $ 895 $ 912,159 Guarantees — 3,714 3,714 — 5,864 5,864 Total liabilities $ 830,082 $ 4,417 $ 834,499 $ 911,264 $ 6,759 $ 918,023 Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure different assets or liabilities at fair value. Level 2 measurements • Debt: The fair value of debt is based on the market price for similar financial instruments or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable. The primary inputs to the valuation include market expectations, the Company's credit risk, and the contractual terms of the debt instrument. • Derivatives: The fair value of derivatives is based on the discounted cash flow analysis of the expected future cash flows. The primary inputs to the valuation include forward yield curves, implied volatilities, LIBOR rates, and credit valuation adjustments. Level 3 measurements • Guarantees: The fair value of guarantees is based on the discounted cash flow analysis of the expected future cash flows or historical loss rates. Should the loss rate change 10% or 20% , the fair value of the guarantee at March 31, 2019 would change by $476 and $895 , respectively. The historical loss rate was weighted by the principal balance of the loans. • Securitized beneficial interests: The fair value of securitized beneficial interests is based on the present value of future expected cash flows. Since the discount rate and the payment speed are components of the same equation, a change in either by 10% or 20% would change the value of the recorded beneficial interest at March 31, 2019 by $249 and $497 , respectively. The discount rate was weighted by the outstanding interest. Payment speed was weighted by the average days outstanding. Reconciliation of Change in Recurring Level 3 Balances The following tables present the changes in Level 3 instruments measured on a recurring basis. Securitized Beneficial Interests Guarantees Beginning balance March 31, 2017 $ 38,206 $ 7,126 Sales of receivables/issuance of guarantees 281,601 6,178 Settlements (265,363 ) (6,979 ) Losses recognized in earnings (5,729 ) (461 ) Ending balance at March 31, 2018 48,715 5,864 Sales of receivables/issuance of guarantees 247,386 4,969 Settlements (250,365 ) (6,109 ) Losses recognized in earnings (5,404 ) (1,010 ) Ending Balance at March 31, 2019 $ 40,332 $ 3,714 The amount of total losses included in earnings for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 attributable to the change in unrealized losses relating to assets still held at the respective dates was $1,289 and $2,531 on securitized beneficial interests.

Acquisitions	Acquisitions Acquisition of FIGR East On January 25, 2018, a Canadian subsidiary of the Company, acquired 75% of the equity in FIGR East. FIGR East is fully licensed to produce and sell medicinal cannabis in the Canadian Province of Prince Edward Island. FIGR East sells its products directly to patients and through distributors. The Company acquired its interest in FIGR East in exchange for consideration consisting of approximately $32,468 cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The consolidation of FIGR East has been treated as a purchase business combination and as such, the fair value of the assets and liabilities has been recorded at their fair value. The fair value of the non-controlling interest was $8,117 . For the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred $499 of acquisition-related expenses, primarily consisting of consulting fees, which were accounted for separately from the business combination and expensed as incurred within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On June 7, 2019, the Company and certain of its officers were named as defendants in a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. The complaint was brought on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased the Company's common stock between June 7, 2018 and November 8, 2018. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws provisions with respect to fraud and material misrepresentation, which purported misconduct was revealed by the Company’s November 8, 2018 announcement that sales and other operating revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 had decreased approximately 12% over the prior year quarter and the announcement on November 9, 2018 by the Securities and Exchange Commission that the Company had settled charges that it had materially misstated its financial statements from 2011 through the second quarter of 2015 due to improper and sufficient accounting, processes and control activities, deferred crop costs and revenue transactions in Africa. The complaint alleges that members of the purported class were harmed by the decline in the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the dates of these announcements. The complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Company changed its name from Alliance One International, Inc. to Pyxus International, Inc. on September 12, 2018. The accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. The Company uses the cost or equity method of accounting for its investments in affiliates that are owned 50% or less and are not variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates	Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates The Company’s equity method investments and its cost method investments are non-marketable securities. The Company reviews such investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an investment may not be recovered. For example, the Company would test such an investment for impairment if the investee were to lose a significant customer, suffer a large reduction in sales margins, experience a major change in its business environment, or undergo other significant changes in its normal business. In assessing the recoverability of equity or cost method investments, the Company uses discounted cash flow models. If the fair value of an equity investee is determined to be lower than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized. The preparation of discounted future cash flow analysis requires significant management judgment with respect to future operating earnings growth rates and the selection of an appropriate discount rate. The use of different assumptions could increase or decrease estimated future operating cash flows, and the discounted value of those cash flows, and therefore could increase or decrease any impairment charge.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. They also impact the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, revenue recognition, pension and postretirement health care benefits, inventory market values, allowances for doubtful accounts and advances, bank loan guarantees to suppliers and unconsolidated subsidiaries, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets, deferred tax assets and uncertain income tax positions, intrastate tax credits in Brazil and fair value determinations of financial assets and liabilities including derivatives, securitized beneficial interests and counterparty risk. Changes in market and economic conditions, local tax laws, and other related factors are considered each reporting period, and adjustments to the accounts are made based on the Company’s best judgment.
Revenue Recognition and Related	Product revenue is primarily processed tobacco sold to the customer. Processing and other revenues are mainly contracts to process customer-owned green tobacco. During processing, ownership remains with the customers. Other products and services is primarily composed of revenue from the sale of legal cannabis in Canada and e-liquids product revenue. Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer Shipping and Handling Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods and services sold in the statements of consolidated operations. Taxes Collected from Customers Significant Judgments Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue from contracts with customers, primarily from the sale of processed tobacco and fees charged for processing and related services to the manufacturers of tobacco products. The Company does not disclose information related to its unsatisfied performance obligations with an expected duration of one year or less. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when the transfer of control of the distinct product or service to the customer occurs. For products, control is transferred and revenue is recognized at a point in time, in accordance with the shipping terms of the contract. For services, control is transferred and revenue is recognized over time using the input method based on a kilogram of packed tobacco. The Company applied a practical expedient to account for shipping and handling costs as costs to fulfill its performance obligations, regardless of when control transfers. A kilogram of processed tobacco (or tobacco processing services resulting in a kilogram of processed tobacco) is the only material and distinct performance obligation for the Company’s tobacco revenue streams therefore; consideration is attributed to the performance of this obligation. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Contract costs primarily include labor, material, shipping and handling, and overhead expenses. Certain subsidiaries are subject to value-added taxes on local sales. These amounts have been included in sales and other operating revenues and cost of goods and services sold. Contract Balances The Company generally records a receivable when revenue is recognized as the timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment from customers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. The Company applied a practical expedient not to adjust the transaction price for the effects of financing components when the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are defined as temporary investments of cash with original maturities of less than 90 days
Other Deferred Charges	Other Deferred Charges Other deferred charges are primarily deferred financing costs that are amortized over the life of long-term debt.
Sale of Accounts Receivable	Sale of Accounts Receivable The Company is currently engaged in two
Inventories	Inventories Costs in inventory include processed tobacco inventory, unprocessed tobacco inventory, and other inventory. Costs of unprocessed tobacco inventories are determined by the average cost method, which include the cost of green tobacco. Costs of processed tobacco inventories are determined by the average cost method, which include both the cost of unprocessed tobacco, as well as direct and indirect costs that are related to the processing of the product. Costs of other non-tobacco inventory are determined by the first-in, first-out method, which include costs of packing materials, non-tobacco agricultural products, and agricultural supplies including seed, fertilizer, herbicides, and pesticides. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“LCM”). The Company evaluates its inventories for LCM adjustments by country and type of inventory. Processed tobacco and unprocessed tobacco are evaluated separately for LCM purposes. The Company compares the cost of its processed tobacco to market values based on recent sales of similar grades when evaluating those balances for LCM adjustments. The Company also considers whether its processed tobacco is committed to a customer, whereby the expected sales price would be utilized in determining the market value for committed tobacco. The Company also reviews data on market conditions in performing its LCM evaluation for unprocessed tobacco.
Advances to Tobacco Suppliers	Advances to Tobacco Suppliers The Company purchases seeds, fertilizer, pesticides, and other products related to growing tobacco and advances them to suppliers to assist in crop production. These advances are short term, represent prepaid inventory, and are recorded as advances to tobacco suppliers. Upon delivery of tobacco, part of the purchase price to the supplier is paid in cash and part through a reduction of the advance balance. The advances applied to the delivery are reclassified out of advances and into unprocessed inventory. The Company also has noncurrent advances, which generally represent the cost of advances to suppliers for infrastructure, such as curing barns, that are also recovered through the delivery of tobacco to the Company by the suppliers. Not all suppliers are able to settle the entire amount of advances that are due in any given year. In these situations, the Company may allow the suppliers to deliver tobacco over future crop years to recover its advances. Noncurrent advances to tobacco suppliers are recorded in other noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Guarantees	In Brazil, certain suppliers obtain government subsidized rural credit financing from local banks that is guaranteed by the Company. The Company withholds amounts owed to suppliers related to the rural credit financing of the supplier upon delivery of tobacco to the Company. The Company remits payments to the local banks on behalf of the guaranteed suppliers. Rural credit financing repayment is due to local banks based on contractual due dates.The fair value of guarantees is recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and included in crop costs, except for the joint venture in Brazil, which are included in accounts receivable, related parties. Guarantees In certain markets, the Company guarantees bank loans to suppliers to finance their crops. Under longer-term arrangements, the Company may also guarantee financing on suppliers’ construction of curing barns or other tobacco production assets. Guaranteed loans are generally repaid concurrent with the delivery of tobacco to the Company. The Company is obligated to repay any guaranteed loan should the supplier default. If default occurs, the Company has recourse against its various suppliers and their
Goodwill and Other Intangibles	Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired and is allocated to the appropriate reporting unit when acquired. Reporting units may be operating segments as a whole or at one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. The components within the Company’s operating segments are aggregated into ten reporting units due to their similar economic characteristics. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested for impairment annually, on the first day of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, or whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company utilized a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In performing the Company’s annual quantitative assessment, the Company utilized the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method of the income approach. The future cash flows of the Company’s reporting units were projected based on estimates of future revenues, gross margins, operating income, excess net working capital, capital expenditures, and other factors. The Company utilized estimated revenue growth rates and cash flow projections. The discount rates utilized in the DCF method was based on a weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC") determined from relevant market comparisons and adjusted for specific reporting unit risks, country risk premiums, and capital structure. A terminal value estimated growth rate was applied to the final year of the projected period and reflected the Company’s estimate of perpetual growth. The Company then calculated a present value of the respective cash flows for each reporting unit to arrive at an estimate of fair value under the income approach. The Company then reconciled the estimated fair value of its reporting units to its total public market capitalization as of the valuation date. An implied control premium was calculated based on the Company’s stock price as of the valuation date and compared to control premiums paid in recent industry transactions for reasonableness. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded. The Company has intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets with definite useful lives. These intangible assets are assessed annually and tested for impairment whenever factors indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Production and supply contracts are amortized based on the expected realization of the benefit over the term of the contracts ranging from three to five years . The trade name, customer relationship, and license intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over eight , eight to twenty years , and ten to twenty years , respectively. The amortization period is the term of the contract or, if no term is specified in the contract, management’s best estimate of the useful life based on past experience. Internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over five years
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Provisions for depreciation are computed on a straight-line basis at annual rates calculated to amortize the cost of depreciable properties over their estimated useful lives. Buildings are depreciated over a range of 20 to 30 years . Machinery and equipment are depreciated over a range of three to ten years . The consolidated financial statements do not include fully depreciated assets. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and changes are made to the estimated useful lives when necessary. Long-lived assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties and may be estimated using a number of techniques, including quoted market prices or valuations, present value techniques based on estimates of cash flows, or multiples of earnings or revenue performance measures.
Capitalized Interest	Capitalized Interest
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses forward or option currency contracts to protect against volatility associated with certain non-U.S. dollar denominated forecasted transactions. These contracts are for green tobacco purchases, processing costs, and selling, general and administrative costs. Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments are recorded each period according to the determination of the derivative's effectiveness. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized in cost of goods and services sold immediately as incurred.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The Company’s annual tax rate is based on its income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties. The Company reviews its tax positions quarterly and adjusts the balances as new information becomes available.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue Recognition (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU 2014-09 outlines a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2018 for all contracts using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements but did result in additional disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . ASU 2016-15 clarifies the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments to reduce the diversity in practice on how these activities are presented on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2018 using the retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the following changes for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, to the consolidated statement of cash flows: cash collections from beneficial interests of $263,670 and $231,658 was reclassified from operating activities to investing activities and $281,601 and $229,580 obtained as a beneficial interest for transferring trade receivables in a securitization transaction has been added as a non-cash disclosure. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash . ASU 2016-18 clarifies the presentation of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice on how restricted cash is presented on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2018 using the retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the following changes: a reclassification of $3,373 from other current and other long-term assets in total to separately stated line items for restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018; the change in restricted cash of $1,133 and $(389) presented in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows is eliminated as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively; and the inclusion of $2,309 and $2,698 of restricted cash in the calculation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at the end of the period in the consolidated statements of cash flows as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . ASU 2017-07 was issued to increase the consistency, transparency, and usefulness of financial information of retirement benefits by disaggregating the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2018 using the retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance resulted in a reclassification of $1,301 and $2,774 from selling, general, and administrative expenses to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. See " Note 13. Employee Benefits " for further information. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . ASU 2017-12 was issued to better align risk and management activities to financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The Company early adopted this guidance on April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Job Acts (the "Tax Act"). The tax effects unrelated to the Tax Act are released from accumulated other comprehensive income using either the specific identification approach or the portfolio approach based on the nature of the underlying item. The Company adopted this guidance on December 31, 2018 using modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance resulted in a reclassification of $2,931 of stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained deficit due to reduction in federal corporate tax rate. The stranded tax effects are derived from the deferred tax balance on pension obligations as a result of the lower U.S. Federal Corporate tax rate. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . ASU 2018-13 eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on September 30, 2018. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the addition of the weighted average of the significant observable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements in its disclosures. See " Note 18. Fair Value Measurements " for further information. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”) , which requires right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to be recorded on the balance sheet . Certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required. The Company adopted ASC 842 and related amendments on April 1, 2019, and expects to elect certain practical expedients under the transition guidance. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This guidance also requires disclosures about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 using the required modified retrospective approach and has elected the optional transition method that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and the Company will not restate prior periods. To implement ASC 842, the Company formed a project team to evaluate the lease portfolio and to oversee a scoping assessment of the lease and service agreements. This team also oversaw a review of existing lease arrangements and updates to business processes and controls related to the new guidance for leases. The Company has made two accounting policy elections for all asset classes relating to accounting for leases under ASC 842: to combine lease and non-lease components and not to recognize short-term leases on the balance sheet (leases twelve months or less). For transition purposes, the Company has elected to utilize the transition package of expedients, as prescribed in ASC 842-10-65-1(f), which allows the Company to not reassess for the transition leases: i) lease classification; ii) whether a contract qualifies as a lease; and iii) the capitalization of initial direct costs. Although the Company continues to evaluate the effect to the consolidated financial statements and disclosures, the adoption of this guidance will materially increase assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company is finalizing the evaluation of the April 1, 2019 adoption date and estimates that it will record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities ranging from $40,000 to $50,000 in the consolidated balance sheets. The impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and existing debt covenants is not expected to be material. This estimate could change as the Company continues to progress with implementation and will also fluctuate based on the lease portfolio, discount rates and, currency exchange rates as of the adoption date. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . ASU 2016-13 provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. This guidance will be adopted using a modified retrospective approach and is effective for the Company on April 1, 2020. The Company is evaluating the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans . ASU 2018-14 updates disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. This guidance will be adopted using a retrospective approach and is effective for the Company on March 31, 2020. The Company is evaluating the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to the Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities . ASU 2018-17 changes how entities evaluate decision-making fees under the variable interest entity guidance. To determine whether decision-making fees represent a variable interest, an entity considers indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportional basis, rather than in their entirety. This guidance will be adopted using a retrospective approach and is effective for the Company on April 1, 2020. The Company is evaluating the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. ASU 2019-04 affects a variety of topics in the Codification. The Company is evaluating the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
