For those consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company’s ownership is less than </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">100%</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the outside shareholders’ interests are shown as noncontrolling interests.

As a result, Axalta’s share of the earnings or losses of such equity affiliates is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and our share of these companies’ stockholders’ equity is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Certain of our joint ventures are accounted for on a one-month lag basis, the effect of which is not material.

The estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, receivable and inventory valuations, fixed asset valuations, valuations of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, including analysis of impairment, valuations of long-term employee benefit obligations, income taxes, environmental matters, litigation, stock-based compensation, restructuring and allocations of costs. Our estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Accounting for Business Combinations</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. The method records any excess purchase price over the fair value of acquired net assets as goodwill. Included in the determination of the purchase price is the fair value of contingent consideration, if applicable, based on the terms and applicable targets described within the acquisition agreements (e.g., projected revenues or EBITDA). Subsequent to the acquisition date, the fair value of the liability, if determined to be payable in cash, is revalued at each balance sheet date with adjustments recorded within earnings. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The determination of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests involves assessments of factors such as the expected future cash flows associated with individual assets and liabilities and appropriate discount rates at the closing date of the acquisition. When necessary, we consult with external advisors to help determine fair value. For non-observable market values determined using Level 3 assumptions, we determine fair value using acceptable valuation principles, including most commonly the excess earnings method for customer relationships, relief from royalty method for technology and trademarks, cost method for inventory and a combination of cost and market methods for property, plant and equipment, as applicable.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We included the results of operations from the acquisition date in the financial statements for all businesses acquired.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-left:4px;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Revenue Recognition</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">See Note 2 for disclosure of our revenue recognition accounting policy.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Cash and Cash Equivalents</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments considered readily convertible to known amounts of cash within three months or less from time of purchase. They are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Cash balances may exceed government insured limits in certain jurisdictions. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:6px;padding-top:6px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets primarily represents certain customer guarantees.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Fair Value Measurements</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">GAAP defines a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The following valuation techniques are used to measure fair value for assets and liabilities:</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Level 2—Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are valued based on management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Derivatives and Hedging</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company from time to time utilizes derivatives to manage exposures to currency exchange rates and interest rate risk.

Subsequent additions to property, plant and equipment, including the fair value of any asset retirement obligations upon initial recognition of the liability, are recorded at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful life using the straight-line method. See Note 14 for a range of estimated useful lives used for each property, plant and equipment class. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Software included in property, plant and equipment represents the costs of software developed or obtained for internal use. Software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality, which enables the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair values of underlying net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><sup style="vertical-align:top;line-height:120%;font-size:7pt">st</sup></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">; however, these tests are performed more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The fair value methodology is based on prices of similar assets or other valuation methodologies including discounted cash flow techniques.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">When testing goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, we first have an option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (more than </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">50%</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">) that an impairment exists. Such qualitative factors may include the following: macroeconomic conditions; industry and market considerations; cost factors; overall financial performance; and other relevant entity-specific events. If based on this qualitative assessment we determine that an impairment is more likely than not, or if we elect not to perform a qualitative assessment, we would be required to perform a quantitative impairment test. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2018, we tested goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by performing a qualitative analysis and determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units and assets was less than the respective carrying amounts. If based on this qualitative assessment, we determined that an impairment was more likely than not, we would have conducted the simplified goodwill impairment test in accordance with ASU 2017-04. Under the simplified test, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no impairment exists and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Definite-lived intangible assets, such as technology, trademarks, customer relationships and non-compete agreements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally for periods ranging from </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>2</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>25 years</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets is regularly evaluated. Once these assets are fully amortized, they are removed from the balance sheet. We evaluate these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets might not be recoverable. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Impairment of Long-Lived Assets</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used is evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from the asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. The fair value methodology used is an estimate of fair market value and is based on prices of similar assets or other valuation methodologies including present value techniques. Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale are classified as held for use until their disposal. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are classified as held for sale and are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair market value less cost to sell. Depreciation is discontinued for long-lived assets classified as held for sale.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Research and Development</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Research and development costs incurred in the normal course of business consist primarily of employee-related costs and are expensed as incurred. In process research and development projects acquired in a business combination are recorded as intangible assets at their fair value as of the acquisition date, using Level 3 assumptions. Subsequent costs related to acquired in process research and development projects are expensed as incurred. In process research and development intangible assets are considered indefinite-lived until the abandonment or completion of the associated research and development efforts. These indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment consistent with the impairment testing performed on other indefinite-lived intangible assets discussed above. Upon completion of the research and development process, the carrying value of acquired in process research and development projects is reclassified as a finite-lived asset and is amortized over its useful life.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated.

Other environmental costs are also charged to expense in the period incurred, unless they increase the value of the property or reduce or prevent contamination from future operations, in which case, they are capitalized and depreciated.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Litigation</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We accrue for liabilities related to litigation matters when available information indicates that the liability is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Income Taxes</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for tax losses, interest and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable in the years in which they are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax law is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Where we do not intend to indefinitely reinvest earnings of our subsidiaries, we provide for income taxes and withholding taxes, where applicable, on unremitted earnings. We do not provide for income taxes on unremitted earnings of our subsidiaries that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We recognize the benefit of an income tax position only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position will be sustained. The tax benefits recognized are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">50%</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> likelihood of being realized. Additionally, we recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of provision for income taxes. The current portion of unrecognized tax benefits is included in "Other accrued liabilities" and the long-term portion is included in "Other liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Foreign Currency Translation</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. In most cases, our non-U.S. based subsidiaries use their local currency as the functional currency for their respective business operations. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into U.S. Dollars at end-of-period exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period. Resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in AOCI.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Gains and losses from transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other expense, net.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Employee Benefits</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Defined benefit plans specify an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive upon retirement, usually dependent on factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of the future benefits that employees earn in return for their service in the current and prior periods. These benefits are then discounted to determine the present value of the obligations and are then adjusted for the impact of any unamortized prior service costs. The discount rate used is based upon market indicators in the region (generally, the yield on bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid) and that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the obligations. The calculations are performed by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The obligation of defined benefit plans recorded on our consolidated balance sheets is net of the current fair value of assets. See Note 7 for further information.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Stock-Based Compensation </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our stock-based compensation is comprised of Axalta stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock awards and performance share units and are measured at fair value on the grant date or date of modification, as applicable. We recognize compensation expense on a graded-vesting attribution basis over the requisite service period, inclusive of impacts of any current period modifications of previously granted awards. Compensation expense is recorded net of forfeitures, which we have elected to record in the period they occur. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Earnings per Common Share </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Axalta’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Axalta’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding related to potentially dilutive securities; anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation. These potentially dilutive securities are calculated under the treasury stock method and consist of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock awards and performance share units.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and all related amendments comprising ASC 606 (the “new revenue standard”), electing to use the modified retrospective method. We also elected to apply certain practical expedients, including the application of the modified retrospective method to open contracts at December 31, 2017. Comparative information has not been recast and continues to be reported under historical U.S. GAAP in effect to those applicable periods. The following table summarizes the cumulative effect made to our consolidated balance sheet as a result of the adoption to this standard.</span><div

acceleration of revenue for certain arrangements, primarily within our light vehicle end-market, for which we determined our performance obligation has been satisfied. Specifically, we concluded that the transfer of control to the customer, as defined under the new revenue standard, occurs at a date prior to consumption. Additionally, certain costs historically reported in selling, general and administrative expenses under historical U.S. GAAP related to on-site technical support services that are not considered material in the context of our contracts with certain customers are now reported within cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of operations, as they represent costs incurred in satisfaction of performance obligations.

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In February 2016, the FASB issued 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 recognize, for operating and finance leases with terms exceeding twelve months, a right-of-use asset (or "ROU") 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. Early adoption is permitted prior to this date. 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 have elected to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective 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.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to elect 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 also expect to elect 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 do not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We currently expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, meaning we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases (leases with a term of less than 12 months from lease commencement) of those assets in transition. We also currently expect to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes.</span></div>The Company is in process of implementing an outsourced software solution to support the ongoing accounting requirements that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. We are finalizing the implementation steps including evaluating completeness and accuracy of lease data entered into the software solution to assess the effect of the new guidance on our financial statements and assessing our procedural and policy requirements and impacts to our internal controls. While the Company is still evaluating the impacts of implementing the ASU, we expect to recognize a material increase to total assets and total liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets due to the recognition of ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities. Additionally, we will record a one-time impact to retained earnings on our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity related to the net difference of derecognition of existing assets and debt obligations associated with our leases currently accounted for as sale-leaseback financings, for which the ASU requires accounting for as a lease at the date of initial application. The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. We are currently evaluating the expanded disclosures necessary to be in compliance with this standard, including expanded disclosures regarding qualitative and quantitative information about our leases, the significant judgments made in applying the lease guidance, and the amounts recognized in the financial statements related to those leases.
CY2018	us-gaap	Use Of Estimates UseOfEstimates	Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the period. The estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, receivable and inventory valuations, fixed asset valuations, valuations of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, including analysis of impairment, valuations of long-term employee benefit obligations, income taxes, environmental matters, litigation, stock-based compensation, restructuring and allocations of costs. Our estimates are based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
