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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. 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, 2019. 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 months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Updates
Reclassifications
The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 have been updated for comparability with the current year presentation to separately present other operating charges as detailed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” under a modified retrospective approach for all financial assets. 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 provisions of this standard primarily impact the allowance for doubtful accounts on our trade receivables, in which we have applied historical loss percentages, combined with reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses to the respective aging categories. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 at January 1, 2020 resulted in a one-time loss to retained earnings of $1.5 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
On March 12, 2020, we adopted ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform" which provides optional expedients exercisable from March 12, 2020 to December 31, 2022 to ease the potential burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. As of March 31, 2020, the expedients provided in this standard do not impact the Company. We will continue to monitor for potential impacts on our financial statements.
Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on our financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The rapid spread of the pandemic and the continuously evolving responses to combat it have had an increasingly negative impact on the global economy. In view of the rapidly changing business environment, unprecedented market volatility and heightened degree of uncertainty resulting from COVID-19, we are currently unable to fully determine its future impact on our business. However, we are monitoring the progression of the pandemic and its potential effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. If the global pandemic continues to grow and evolves into an even more prolonged health crisis, the effects could have a material adverse impact to the Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue REVENUE
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 current assets on the balance sheet. The contract asset balances at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $36.7 million and $37.5 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the total carrying value of BIPs were $191.4 million and $191.2 million, respectively, and are presented within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, $16.9 million and $17.1 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 $96.4 million and $79.0 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which will be repaid in future periods.

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 months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we incurred restructuring costs, net of changes to estimates, of $18.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. These amounts are recorded within other operating charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remaining payments associated with these actions are expected to be completed within 12 to 24 months from the balance sheet date.
The following table summarizes the activities related to the restructuring reserves and expenses from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020:

The impacts to pre-tax earnings from incremental accelerated depreciation resulting from the previously announced closure of our manufacturing facility in Mechelen, Belgium, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $8.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, which were recorded to cost of goods sold on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had outstanding bank guarantees of $11.0 million and $11.6 million, respectively. Most of our bank guarantees expire between 2020 and 2026, while others do not have specified expiration dates. We monitor the obligations to evaluate whether we have a liability at the balance sheet date. At March 31, 2020, we recorded a liability related to our outstanding bank guarantees of $1.0 million. We did not have any liabilities related to our outstanding bank guarantees recorded at December 31, 2019.
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 incurred by 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. The potential effects, if any, on our condensed consolidated financial statements will be recorded in the period in which these matters are probable and estimable. We believe that any sum we may be required to pay in connection with proceedings or claims in excess of the amounts recorded would likely not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows on a consolidated annual basis but, however, could have a material adverse impact in a particular quarterly reporting period.
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 but, however, could have a material adverse impact in a particular quarterly reporting period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized expenses of $5.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively, for stock-based compensation, which was allocated between costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recognized tax benefits of $0.2 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
2020 Activity
In February 2020, we granted restricted stock units and performance share units to certain employees and directors. All awards were granted under the Company's Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Award Plan. During 2020, the Company withheld shares and used cash to settle the employee's tax portion of certain vestings in the amount of $1.4 million.
A summary of award activity by type for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is presented below.

The Company's effective tax rate for the periods reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements are not directly comparable primarily due to the intra-entity asset transfers of certain of its intellectual property and the impacts of certain ongoing tax audits, which occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and are discussed in further detail below.
On January 1, 2020, we completed an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights (the “IP”) to our Swiss subsidiary, where our EMEA regional headquarters is located. The transfer of the IP did not result in a taxable gain; however, it did result in step-up of the Swiss tax-deductible basis in the transferred assets, and accordingly, created a temporary difference between the book basis and the tax basis of the IP, which was transferred at fair value. We applied significant judgment when determining the fair value of the IP, which serves as the tax basis of the deferred tax asset. Consequently, this transaction resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset at the applicable Swiss tax rate, resulting in a one-time tax benefit of $50.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company expects to be able to realize the deferred tax assets resulting from these intra-entity asset transfers.
In connection with the income tax audit in Germany for the tax period 2010-2013, the Germany Tax Authority (“GTA”) indicated that it believed that certain positions taken on the 2010-2013 corporate income tax returns were not in compliance with German tax law. While the Company disagrees with the conclusions of the GTA based on the technical merits of our positions, after extensive discussions with the GTA and to avoid a potentially long and costly litigation process, in March 2020 the Company expressed a willingness to settle with the GTA on certain matters and expects to reach a formal agreement in the coming months. As a result of these changes, the Company recorded a charge to income tax expense of $14.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company is also currently under audit in Germany for tax years 2014-2017 and is prepared to vigorously defend itself on these matters.
In April 2020, we became aware of a potential new interpretation of a non-U.S. tax law and its application to certain transactions that was not previously reasonably knowable by us. We are evaluating this new information and the effect, if any, on our tax positions. The potential impact, if any, on our financial statements is not yet estimable at this time, but would be adverse and could be material.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share NET INCOME 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:

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses by applying historical loss percentages, combined with reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses, to respective aging categories. Management considers the following factors in developing its current estimate of expected credit losses: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, changes in market or regulatory matters, and changes in customer payment terms, including the impacts from COVID-19.

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.
Derivative Instruments Qualifying and Designated as Cash Flow and Net Investment Hedges
Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we entered into two interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts totaling $400.0 million to hedge interest rate exposures 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 rates of 1.61% and 1.18% on $200.0 million of notional for each instrument, 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 accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI") and reclassified to interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we designated foreign currency forward contracts with a notional value of $5.0 million as cash flow hedges of the Company’s exposure to variability in exchange rates on forecasted purchases of inventory denominated in foreign currencies. These forward currency contracts are marked to market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in AOCI and reclassified to cost of goods sold in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
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:

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.
Adjusted EBIT is 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.

(c)
Represents costs for legal, tax and other advisory fees pertaining to our recently concluded comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, as well as retention awards for certain employees which will be earned over a period of 18-24 months. 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Schedule of New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Table Text Block]
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” under a modified retrospective approach for all financial assets. 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 provisions of this standard primarily impact the allowance for doubtful accounts on our trade receivables, in which we have applied historical loss percentages, combined with reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses to the respective aging categories. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 at January 1, 2020 resulted in a one-time loss to retained earnings of $1.5 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
On March 12, 2020, we adopted ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform" which provides optional expedients exercisable from March 12, 2020 to December 31, 2022 to ease the potential burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. As of March 31, 2020, the expedients provided in this standard do not impact the Company. We will continue to monitor for potential impacts on our financial statements.
Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on our financial statements.

(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 as there are additional adjustments that are not allocated to the segments.
 
 
(a)
Represents expenses and associated changes to estimates related to the prepayment, 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 costs for legal, tax and other advisory fees pertaining to our recently concluded comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, as well as retention awards for certain employees which will be earned over a period of 18-24 months. 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 expenses and associated changes to estimates related to the sale of our interest in a joint venture business and other impairments, which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
 
 
(f)
Represents certain defined benefit pension costs associated with special events, including pension curtailments, which we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
 
 
(g)
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.
