SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries for which it has a controlling interest (the “Company”) after elimination of all inter-company accounts, transactions and profits. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Turkey – Highly Inflationary Economy Effective April 1, 2022, the financial statements of the Company’s Turkish operation are reported under highly inflationary accounting rules. As a result, the financial statements of the Company’s Turkish operation have been remeasured into the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. dollar) and the exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings, rather than “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” on the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2023, this impact was not significant to the Company’s results. ​ Management has evaluated and disclosed all material events occurring subsequent to the date of the financial statements up to April 27, 2023, the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. ​ New Accounting Pronouncements: This section provides a description of new accounting pronouncements (“Accounting Standards Update” or “ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are applicable to the Company. ​ The following ASUs were adopted as of January 1, 2023:
