Basis of Accounting [Text Block]
(1)     BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of Axalta Coating Systems Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares, and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Axalta," the "Company," "we," "our" and "us") at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and changes in shareholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the nine months then ended. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axalta and its subsidiaries, and entities in which a controlling interest is maintained. Certain of our joint ventures are accounted for on a one-month lag basis, the effect of which is not material.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Reclassifications
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the condensed consolidated statements of operations were updated to combine "Net sales" and "Other revenue" into "Net sales". The 2018 condensed consolidated statements of operations have been updated for comparability with the current year presentation.
Correction of Immaterial Errors to Prior Period Financial Statements
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company identified and corrected an error that affected the previously-issued 2018 annual and interim financial statements. Specifically, the financial statements reflected an investment in noncontrolling interest payment of $26.9 million within investing activities as opposed to its appropriate classification within financing activities. The Company determined that these corrections were immaterial to the previously-issued financial statements. However, given the significance of the error and for comparability purposes, we have revised the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and will revise annual periods in future filings. This revision has no impact on the consolidated or condensed consolidated statements of operations or balance sheets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases", which, together with amendments comprising ASC 842, requires lessees to identify arrangements that should be accounted for as leases and generally recognized, for operating and finance leases with terms exceeding twelve months, a right-of-use (or "ROU") asset and lease liability on the balance sheet. In addition to this main provision, this standard included a number of additional changes to lease accounting. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either the adoption date or the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. We elected to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the adoption date as our date of initial application. As a result, historical financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided as of and for periods before January 1, 2019. See Note 7 for further information on the implementation of the standard.
The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We have elected the package of practical expedients, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We have also elected the practical expedient pertaining to land easements which permits entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements in transition to determine if they contain a lease. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We have elected the short term lease exception and we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for qualifying leases (leases with a term of less than 12 months from lease commencement). We also elected the accounting policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes.
The Company implemented an outsourced software solution to support the ongoing accounting requirements that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated the completeness and accuracy of lease data entered into the software solution and updated our processes, policies and internal controls. Changes to our internal controls covered the identification, accounting and disclosure of leases both upon adoption and subsequent to adoption. Adoption of ASU 2016-02 at January 1, 2019 resulted in a one-time loss to retained earnings of $0.7 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity related to the net difference of derecognition of existing assets and debt obligations associated with our leases historically accounted for as sale-leaseback financings, for which the ASU requires accounting for as a lease at the date of initial application.
Of the accounting standards we have adopted in 2019, the below standard did not have a material impact:

Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes
 
January 1, 2019

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires considerations of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods therein. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue REVENUE
We recognize revenue at the point our contractual performance obligations with our customers are satisfied. This occurs at the point in time when control of our products transfer to the customer based on considerations of right to payment, transfer of legal title, physical possession, risks and rewards of ownership and customer acceptance. For the majority of our revenue, control transfers upon shipment of our products to our customers. Our remaining revenue is recorded upon delivery or consumption for our product sales or as incurred for services provided and royalties earned.
For certain customer arrangements within our light vehicle, industrial and commercial vehicle end-markets, revenue is recognized upon shipment, as this is the point in time we have concluded that control of our product has transferred to our customer based on our considerations of the indicators of control in the contracts, including right of use and risk and reward of ownership. For consignment arrangements, revenue is recognized upon actual consumption by our customers, as this represents the point in time that control is determined to have transferred to the customer based on the contractual arrangement.
In our refinish end-market, our product sales are typically supplied through a network of distributors. Control transfers and revenue is recognized when our products are delivered to our distribution customers. Variable consideration in the form of price, less discounts and rebates, are estimated and recorded, as a reduction to net sales, upon the sale of our products based on our ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amounts expected to be received or incurred. The estimates of variable consideration involve significant assumptions based on the best estimates of inventory held by distributors, applicable pricing, as well as the use of historical actuals for sales, discounts and rebates, which may result in changes in estimates in the future.
Consideration for products in which control has transferred to our customers that is conditional on something other than the passage of time is recorded as a contract asset within prepaid expenses and other on the balance sheet. The contract asset balances at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $39.1 million and $47.2 million, respectively.
We provide certain customers with incremental up-front consideration, subject to clawback provisions, including Business Incentive Plan assets ("BIPs"), which is capitalized as a component of other assets and amortized over the estimated life of the contractual arrangement as a reduction of net sales. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the total carrying value of BIPs were $188.1 million and $190.8 million, respectively, and are presented within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, $17.7 million, $50.8 million, $16.8 million and $49.9 million, respectively, were amortized and reflected as reductions of net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The total carrying value of BIPs exclude other upfront incentives made in conjunction with long-term customer commitments of $85.5 million and $56.0 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which will be repaid in future periods.

Acquisitions ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we completed the previously announced sale of our 60% interest in a consolidated joint venture within our Performance Coatings segment. On the divestiture, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $0.5 million and a pre-tax loss of $3.4 million in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The joint venture sold was previously recorded as held for sale at March 31, 2019, with the corresponding assets and liabilities recorded at the lower of carrying value and fair value less cost to sell. The $0.5 million gain during the three months ended September 30, 2019 was the result of a change to the carrying value of the net assets divested.
Other Activity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we purchased additional interests in certain previously consolidated joint ventures within our industrial end-market, increasing our total ownership to 100% for total consideration of $31.1 million. These included the remaining 40% interest in a joint venture in our Asia Pacific region and the remaining 24.5% interest pursuant to the stock purchase agreement for a joint venture acquired during the year ended December 31, 2016.
At September 30, 2019, for any business combination completed after September 30, 2018, we have not finalized the related purchase accounting and the amounts recorded represent preliminary values. We expect to finalize our purchase accounting during the respective measurement periods which will be no later than one year following the closing dates.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring RESTRUCTURING
In accordance with the applicable guidance for ASC 712, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, we accounted for termination benefits and recognized liabilities when the loss was considered probable that employees were entitled to benefits and the amounts could be reasonably estimated.
We have incurred costs in connection with involuntary termination benefits associated with our corporate-related initiatives and cost-saving opportunities associated with our Axalta Way initiatives. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred restructuring costs, net of changes to estimates, of $29.2 million, $33.3 million, $81.4 million and $79.9 million, respectively. These amounts are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The payments associated with these actions are expected to be completed within 12 to 24 months from September 30, 2019.
The following table summarizes the activities related to the restructuring reserves and expenses from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019:

Commitments and Contingencies COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
We guarantee certain of our customers’ obligations to third parties, whereby any default by our customers on their obligations could force us to make payments to the applicable creditors. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had outstanding bank guarantees of $11.6 million and $12.7 million, respectively, which expire in 2019 or thereafter. We monitor the obligations to evaluate whether we have a liability at the balance sheet date, for which none existed at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Other
We are subject to various pending lawsuits, legal proceedings and other claims in the ordinary course of business, including civil, regulatory and environmental matters. These litigation matters may involve third-party indemnification obligations and/or insurance covering all or part of any potential damage against us. All of these matters are subject to many uncertainties and, accordingly, we cannot determine the ultimate outcome of the proceedings and other claims at this time, although management does not believe that such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Axalta. The potential effects, if any, on such condensed consolidated financial statements will be recorded in the period in which these matters are probable and estimable.
We are involved in environmental remediation and ongoing compliance activities at several sites. The timing and duration of remediation and ongoing compliance activities are determined on a site by site basis depending on local regulations. The amounts recorded represent our estimable future remediation costs and other anticipated environmental liabilities. We have not recorded liabilities at sites where a liability is probable, but that a range of loss is not reasonably estimable. We believe that any sum we may be required to pay in connection with environmental remediation matters in excess of the amounts recorded would likely occur over a period of time and would likely not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows on a consolidated annual basis, however, could have a material adverse impact in a particular quarterly reporting period.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases, Operating Leases LEASES
We have operating and finance leases for certain of our technology centers, warehouses, office spaces, land, and equipment. As described within Note 1, we adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases," on January 1, 2019 requiring, among other changes, operating and finance leases with terms exceeding twelve months to be recognized as ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The lease term is determined to be the non-cancelable period including any lessee renewal options which are considered to be reasonably certain of exercise. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company used judgment to determine an appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment.
Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on an index or adjusted periodically for inflation. The changes to the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred. In addition, variable lease expense also includes elements of a contract that is based on usage during the term. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:
 
 
Nine Months Ended September 30,
 
 
2019
 
2018
Effective Tax Rate
 
19.3
%
 
26.0
%

The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to the favorable impact of changes in valuation allowance (net of adjustments to foreign taxes), an increase in net excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation of $11.0 million compared with $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the unfavorable impact associated with the financial impacts surrounding the closure of our Belgium manufacturing facility in 2018. These adjustments are partially offset by the unfavorable impact of net currency exchange losses in 2019 and a one-time favorable impact related to the reduction of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax charge which lowered the effective tax rate in 2018.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate due to various items that impacted the effective rate both favorably and unfavorably. We recorded the unfavorable impact of net currency exchange losses, unrecognized tax benefits, and an adjustment to foreign taxes. These adjustments were offset by the favorable adjustments for earnings in jurisdictions where the statutory rate is lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate, decrease in valuation allowance, and current year net excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share excludes the dilutive impact of potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the effect of potential dilution from the hypothetical exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted shares and performance shares. A reconciliation of our basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows:

Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as amended
On December 15, 2016, Axalta Coating Systems Dutch B B.V. (“Dutch B B.V.”) and its indirect 100% owned subsidiary, Axalta Coating Systems U.S. Holdings Inc. (“Axalta US Holdings”) executed the fourth amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") to the credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) governing our Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below). The Fourth Amendment (i) converted all of the outstanding U.S. Dollar term loans ($1,775.3 million) into a new tranche of term loans issued at par with principal of $1,545.0 million (the "2023 Dollar Term Loans"), (ii) converted all of the outstanding Euro term loans (€199.0 million) into a new tranche of term loans issued at par with principal of €400.0 million (the "2023 Euro Term Loans" and, together with the 2023 Dollar Term Loans, the "2023 Term Loans").
On June 1, 2017, Dutch B B.V. and Axalta US Holdings executed the fifth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Fifth Amendment"). The Fifth Amendment converted all of the outstanding 2023 Dollar Term Loans ($1,541.1 million) into a new upsized tranche of term loans with principal of $2,000.0 million (the "2024 Dollar Term Loans"). The 2024 Dollar Term Loans were issued at 99.875% of par, or a $2.5 million discount.
On April 11, 2018, Dutch B B.V. and Axalta US Holdings executed the sixth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Sixth Amendment"). The Sixth Amendment repriced the 2024 Dollar Term Loans and increased the aggregate principal balance by $475.0 million to $2,430.0 million. The increased principal balance of the 2024 Dollar Term Loans under the Sixth Amendment was issued at 99.750% of par or a $6.0 million discount. Proceeds from the Sixth Amendment, along with cash on the balance sheet, were used to extinguish the existing 2023 Euro Term Loans. The 2024 Dollar Term Loans together with the Revolving Credit Facility, as defined herein, are referred to as the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities."
On October 31, 2018, Dutch B B.V. and Axalta US Holdings, the Company, and certain other subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors entered into the seventh amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Seventh Amendment"). The Seventh Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) allow for the Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company to be added as guarantors under the Credit Agreement, (ii) provide that (A) the covenants in the Credit Agreement generally apply to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries and (B) upon election at any time thereafter, a successor holdings guarantor may be designated and, upon the effectiveness of the guarantee of such successor parent guarantor, the covenants in the Credit Agreement will generally apply to such successor holdings guarantor and its restricted subsidiaries, (iii) otherwise amend the Credit Agreement in order to effect certain corporate transactions as part of a potential internal reorganization of certain of the Company's subsidiaries and certain potential future reorganizations involving the Company and (iv) update guarantee limitations for certain of the guarantors.
Interest was and is payable quarterly on both the 2023 Term Loans and 2024 Dollar Term Loans.
The 2024 Dollar Term Loans are subject to a floor of zero plus an applicable rate of 1.75% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement and 0.75% per annum for Base Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement.
Prior to the Sixth Amendment, interest on the 2024 Dollar Term Loans was subject to a floor of zero, plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate for such 2024 Dollar Term Loans was 2.00% per annum for Eurocurrency Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement and 1.00% per annum for Base Rate Loans as defined in the Credit Agreement.
Any indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part, in minimum amounts, subject to the provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement. Such indebtedness is subject to mandatory prepayments amounting to the proceeds of asset sales over $75.0 million annually, proceeds from certain debt issuances not otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement and 50% (subject to a step-down to 25.0% or 0% if the First Lien Leverage Ratio falls below 4.25:1.00 or 3.50:1.00, respectively) of Excess Cash Flow.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and the other guarantors. The 2024 Dollar Term Loans mature on June 1, 2024. Principal is paid quarterly based on 1% per annum of the original principal amount outstanding on the most recent amendment date with the unpaid balance due at maturity.
We are subject to customary negative covenants in addition to the First Lien Leverage Ratio financial covenant for purposes of determining any Excess Cash Flow mandatory payment. Further, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, among other things, include customary restrictions (subject to certain exceptions) on the Company's ability to incur certain indebtedness, grant certain liens, make certain investments, declare or pay certain dividends, or repurchase shares of the Company's common stock. As of September 30, 2019, the Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
Revolving Credit Facility
On June 28, 2019, (the "Eighth Amendment Effective Date"), Dutch B B.V. and Axalta US Holdings executed the eighth amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Eighth Amendment") which impacted the Revolving Credit Facility by (i) extending the maturity date to the earlier of March 2, 2024, the date of termination in whole of the Revolving Credit Facility, or the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the term loans borrowed under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) reducing the applicable interest margins on any outstanding borrowings.
Under the Eighth Amendment, interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to an interest margin of 1.50% for loans based on the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate and 0.50% for loans based on the Base Rate with, in each case, a 0.25% increase when its First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.25:1.00 but less than or equal to 2.25:1.00 and another 0.25% increase when its First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.25:1.00. At September 30, 2019, the financial covenant is not applicable as there were no borrowings.
Prior to the Eighth Amendment, interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was subject to a floor of zero for Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate Loans plus an applicable rate of 2.75% (previously 3.50%) subject to an additional step-down to 2.50% or 2.25%, if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio falls below 3.00:1.00 or 2.50:1.00, respectively. For Base Rate Loans, the interest was subject to a floor of the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, the Prime Lending Rate or an Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate plus 1%, plus an applicable rate of 1.75% (previously 2.50%), subject to an additional step-down to 1.50% or 1.25%, if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio were to fall below 3.00:1.00 and 2.50:1.00, respectively.
Under circumstances described in the Credit Agreement, we may increase available revolving or term facility borrowings by up to $700.0 million plus an additional amount subject to the Company not exceeding a maximum first lien leverage ratio described in the Credit Agreement.
There have been no borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility since the issuance of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility totaled $37.5 million and $44.8 million, respectively, which reduced the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $362.5 million and $355.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Significant Transactions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, in connection with the Eighth Amendment discussed above, we recorded $1.8 million of incremental deferred financing costs directly associated with the modification of the Revolving Credit Facility.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, in connection with the Sixth Amendment discussed above, we recorded a loss on extinguishment and other financing-related costs of $8.4 million, of which $2.9 million related to the 2023 Euro Term Loan and $5.5 million related to the 2024 Dollar Term Loans. The loss was comprised of the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discounts of $3.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and other fees directly associated with the Sixth Amendment of $4.6 million.
Significant Terms of the Senior Notes
On August 16, 2016, Axalta Coating Systems, LLC (the "U.S. Issuer") issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior unsecured notes (the “2024 Dollar Senior Notes”) and €335.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.250% senior unsecured notes (the “2024 Euro Senior Notes”), each due August 2024 (collectively the “2024 Senior Notes”).
On September 27, 2016, Dutch B B.V. (the "Dutch Issuer" and together with the U.S. Issuer, the "Issuers"), issued €450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Euro Senior Unsecured Notes due January 2025 (the “2025 Euro Senior Notes” and together with the 2024 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes").
The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants that restrict the ability of the Issuers and their subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt, make certain payments including payment of dividends or repurchase equity interest of the Issuers, make loans or acquisitions or capital contributions and certain investments, incur certain liens, sell assets, merge or consolidate or liquidate other entities, and enter into transactions with affiliates.
On October 26, 2018, the U.S. Issuer and the party thereto entered into a seventh supplemental indenture (the “2024 Seventh Supplemental Indenture”) to the 2024 Senior Notes. In addition, on October 26, 2018, the Dutch Issuer and the new guarantors party thereto entered into a seventh supplemental indenture (the “2025 Seventh Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the 2024 Seventh Supplemental Indenture, the “October 2018 Supplemental Indentures”) to the 2025 Euro Senior Notes. The October 2018 Supplemental Indentures permit the Company and its subsidiaries to effect certain corporate transactions as part of a potential internal reorganization of certain of the Company's subsidiaries (the "Proposed Restructuring") and certain potential future reorganizations involving the Company. Each of the October 2018 Supplemental Indentures amended the applicable indenture in order to, among other things, (i) add the Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors of the applicable Senior Notes, (ii) provide that (A) the covenants of the applicable Indenture generally apply to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries and (B) upon an election by the relevant Issuer at any time thereafter, a successor parent guarantor may be designated and, upon the effectiveness of the guarantee of such successor parent guarantor, the covenants of the applicable Indenture will generally apply to such successor parent guarantor and its restricted subsidiaries, (iii) otherwise amend the applicable Indenture in order to effect the Proposed Restructuring (as defined below) and (iv) update guarantee limitations for certain of the guarantors.
In connection with the October 2018 Supplemental Indentures above, the Company became the parent guarantor of the Senior Notes.

The 2024 Euro Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the U.S. Issuer and guarantors (including indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

At least 50% of the original aggregate principal of the notes must remain outstanding after each such redemption.
Upon the occurrence of certain events constituting a change of control, holders of the 2025 Euro Senior Notes have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of the 2025 Euro Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.
The 2025 Euro Senior Notes, subject to local law limitations, are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and each of its existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries that is a borrower under or that guarantees the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (other than the Dutch Issuer). Under certain circumstances, the guarantors may be released from their guarantees without the consent of the holders of the applicable series of notes.
The indebtedness issued through the 2025 Euro Senior Notes is senior unsecured indebtedness of the Dutch Issuer, is senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness of the Dutch Issuer and guarantors and is equal in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Dutch Issuer and guarantors. The 2025 Euro Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the Dutch Issuer and guarantors (including indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Financial Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value of financial instruments
Equity securities with readily determinable fair values - Balances of equity securities are recorded within other assets, with any changes in fair value recorded within other expense, net. The fair values of equity securities are based upon quoted market prices, which are considered Level 1 inputs.
Long-term borrowings - The estimated fair values of these borrowings are based on recent trades, as reported by a third-party pricing service. Due to the infrequency of trades, these inputs are considered to be Level 2 inputs.
Derivative instruments - The Company’s interest rate caps, interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are included in the Level 2 hierarchy.
The table below presents the fair values of our financial instruments measured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We selectively use derivative instruments to reduce market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The use of derivatives is intended for hedging purposes only, and we do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes. A description of each type of derivative used to manage risk is included in the following paragraphs.
Derivative Instruments Qualifying and Designated as Cash Flow and Net Investment Hedges
Interest Rate Caps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
During the year ended December 31, 2017, we entered into four 1.5% interest rate caps with aggregate notional amounts totaling $850.0 million to hedge the variable interest rate exposures on our 2024 Dollar Term Loans. Three of these interest rate caps, comprising $600.0 million of the notional value, expire December 31, 2019 and had a deferred premium of $8.6 million at inception. The fourth interest rate cap, comprising the remaining $250.0 million of the notional value, expires December 31, 2021 and had a deferred premium of $8.1 million at inception. All deferred premiums are paid quarterly over the term of the respective interest rate caps. These interest rate caps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI") and reclassified to interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we entered into three interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts totaling $475.0 million to hedge interest rate exposures related to variable rate borrowings under the 2024 Dollar Term Loans. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company is required to pay the counter-parties a stream of fixed interest payments at a rate of 2.72% and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on 3-month LIBOR from the counter-parties. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and expire on March 31, 2023. These interest rate swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in AOCI and reclassified to interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we entered into two interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts totaling $500.0 million, effective December 31, 2019, to hedge interest rate exposure associated with the 2024 Dollar Term Loans. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company is required to pay the counter-parties a stream of fixed interest payments at a rate of 2.59% and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on 3-month LIBOR from the counter-parties. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and expire on December 31, 2022. These interest rate swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in AOCI and reclassified to interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
Cross-Currency Swaps Designated as Net Investment Hedges
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we entered into three fixed-for-fixed cross-currency swaps with aggregate notional amounts totaling $475.0 million to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the U.S. Dollar and Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, the Company has notionally exchanged $475.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.47% for €387.2 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.95%. The cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges and expire on March 31, 2023. These cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in unrealized currency translation adjustments, within AOCI.
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we settled three fixed-for-fixed cross-currency swaps previously executed in 2018 resulting in cash proceeds of $22.5 million. Concurrently, we notionally exchanged $475.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 4.47% for €416.6 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.44%. The cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges and expire on March 31, 2023. These cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in unrealized currency translation adjustments, within AOCI.
The following table presents the gains (losses) included in AOCI for derivative instruments that qualify and have been designated as cash flow and net investment hedges:

Over the next 12 months, we expect losses of $9.9 million pertaining to cash flow hedges to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings, related to our interest rate caps and interest rate swaps.
Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

We periodically enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to reduce market risk and hedge our balance sheet exposures and cash flows for subsidiaries with exposures denominated in currencies different from the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. These contracts have not been designated as hedges and all gains and losses are marked to market through other income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, we purchased a 1.25% interest rate cap with a notional amount of €388.0 million to hedge the variable interest rate exposures on our 2023 Euro Term Loans. We paid a premium equal to $0.6 million for the interest rate cap which is effective through December 31, 2019. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in current period earnings and are included in interest expense. The fair value of this interest rate cap at September 30, 2019 was zero.
Fair value gains and losses of derivative contracts, as determined using Level 2 inputs, that have not been designated for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in earnings as follows:

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments SEGMENTS
The Company identifies an operating segment as a component: (i) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) that has available discrete financial information.
We have two operating segments, which are also our reportable segments: Performance Coatings and Transportation Coatings. The CODM reviews financial information at the operating segment level to allocate resources and to assess the operating results and financial performance for each operating segment. Our CODM is identified as the Chief Executive Officer because he has final authority over performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. Our segments are based on the type and concentration of customers served, service requirements, methods of distribution and major product lines.
Through our Performance Coatings segment, we provide high-quality liquid and powder coatings solutions to a fragmented and local customer base. We are one of only a few suppliers with the technology to provide precise color matching and highly durable coatings systems. The end-markets within this segment are refinish and industrial.
Through our Transportation Coatings segment, we provide advanced coating technologies to OEMs of light and commercial vehicles. These increasingly global customers require a high level of technical support coupled with cost-effective, environmentally responsible coatings systems that can be applied with a high degree of precision, consistency and speed. The end-markets within this segment are light vehicle and commercial vehicle.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Axalta transitioned to using Adjusted EBIT as the primary measure to evaluate financial performance of the operating segments and allocate resources. Asset information is not reviewed or included with our internal management reporting. Therefore, the Company has not disclosed asset information for each reportable segment. The following table presents relevant information of our reportable segments.

The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBIT, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes and select other items impacting operating results. These other items impacting operating results are items that management has concluded are (1) non-cash items included within net income, (2) items the Company does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (3) non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items that have not occurred within the last two years or we believe are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Adjusted EBIT is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company’s core operating performance, which represents Adjusted EBIT adjusted for the select items referred to above.

Schedule of New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Table Text Block]
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases", which, together with amendments comprising ASC 842, requires lessees to identify arrangements that should be accounted for as leases and generally recognized, for operating and finance leases with terms exceeding twelve months, a right-of-use (or "ROU") asset and lease liability on the balance sheet. In addition to this main provision, this standard included a number of additional changes to lease accounting. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either the adoption date or the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. We elected to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the adoption date as our date of initial application. As a result, historical financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided as of and for periods before January 1, 2019. See Note 7 for further information on the implementation of the standard.
The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We have elected the package of practical expedients, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We have also elected the practical expedient pertaining to land easements which permits entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements in transition to determine if they contain a lease. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We have elected the short term lease exception and we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for qualifying leases (leases with a term of less than 12 months from lease commencement). We also elected the accounting policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes.
The Company implemented an outsourced software solution to support the ongoing accounting requirements that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated the completeness and accuracy of lease data entered into the software solution and updated our processes, policies and internal controls. Changes to our internal controls covered the identification, accounting and disclosure of leases both upon adoption and subsequent to adoption. Adoption of ASU 2016-02 at January 1, 2019 resulted in a one-time loss to retained earnings of $0.7 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity related to the net difference of derecognition of existing assets and debt obligations associated with our leases historically accounted for as sale-leaseback financings, for which the ASU requires accounting for as a lease at the date of initial application.
Of the accounting standards we have adopted in 2019, the below standard did not have a material impact:

(1)
The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBIT, which is defined as net income before interest, taxes and select other items impacting operating results. These other items impacting operating results are items that management has concluded are (1) non-cash items included within net income, (2) items the Company does not believe are indicative of ongoing operating performance or (3) non-recurring, unusual or infrequent items that have not occurred within the last two years or we believe are not reasonably likely to recur within the next two years. Adjusted EBIT is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company’s core operating performance, which represents Adjusted EBIT adjusted for the select items referred to above.
 
 
(2)
Does not represent Axalta’s Adjusted EBIT referenced elsewhere by the Company.
 
 
(a)
Represents expenses associated with the restructuring and refinancing of our indebtedness, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
 
 
(b)
Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to employee termination benefits and other employee-related costs. Employee termination benefits are associated with Axalta Way initiatives. These amounts are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
 
 
(c)
Represents legal and advisory fees pertaining to our previously announced comprehensive review of strategic alternatives. These amounts are not considered indicative of our ongoing performance.
 
 
(d)
Represents acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, all of which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
 
 
(e)
Represents the impacts recognized on the sale of our interest in a joint venture business, which is not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
 
 
(f)
Represents incremental depreciation expense resulting from truncated useful lives of the assets impacted by our manufacturing footprint assessments, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
 
 
(g)
Represents indemnity (income) losses associated with the acquisition by Axalta of the DuPont Performance Coatings business, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
 
 
(h)
Represents mark to market impacts of our equity investments, which we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
