Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Unaudited Interim Financial Information | Unaudited Interim Financial Information The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results and outcomes could differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Share Repurchases | Share Repurchases In the first quarter of 2018, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $50.0 million in share repurchases. In the first quarter of 2020, the Board of Directors approved an additional $50.0 million in share repurchases, bringing the total to $100.0 million authorized under the share repurchase program. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 661,637 shares for $43.2 million. As of March 31, 2020, $56.8 million remained available under the repurchase program authorization. Repurchases under the share repurchase program are executed in the open market or negotiated transactions under trading plans put in place pursuant to Rule 10b5-1. The Company constructively retires all repurchased shares with all amounts paid in excess of par value reflected within Retained earnings in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosure During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the company engaged in a non-cash financing activity of $1.4 million related to share repurchases executed, but not yet paid as of March 31, 2020.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about expected credit losses and other commitments to extend credit held by the reporting entity. The standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with one that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2020 and it had no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
