Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Relationship With Parent And Related Parties | 11. Relationship with parent and related parties Prior to the IPO, Nextracker was managed and operated in the normal course of business by Flex. Accordingly, certain shared costs were allocated to Nextracker and reflected as expenses in these consolidated financial statements. Nextracker’s management and the management of Flex considered the expenses included and the allocation methodologies used to be reasonable and appropriate reflections of the historical Flex expenses attributable to Nextracker for purposes of the stand-alone financial statements up until the IPO. However, the expenses reflected in these consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the expenses that would have been incurred by Nextracker during the periods presented if Nextracker historically operated as a separate, stand-alone entity during such period, which expenses would have depended on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure. In addition, the expenses reflected in the consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of expenses that Nextracker will incur in the future. Allocation of corporate expenses The consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the IPO, include expense allocations for certain functions provided by Flex, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, and stock-based compensation. These expenses were allocated to Nextracker based on direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, headcount or other measure. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, Nextracker was allocated, $5.2 million, $13.0 million and $13.3 million, respectively, of general corporate expenses incurred by Flex. Of these expenses $3.4 million, $9.9 million and $10.0 million, respectively, are included within selling, general and administrative expenses and $1.8 million, $3.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Risk management Flex carries insurance for property, casualty, product liability matters, auto liability, and workers’ compensation and maintain excess policies to provide additional limits. Prior to the IPO, Nextracker paid a premium to Flex in exchange for the coverage provided. In fiscal years 2023 and 2022, the policies with significant premiums included the Marine Cargo/Goods in Transit and the multiple Errors and Omissions policies all through various insurance providers. Expenses related to coverage provided through Flex were not significant and are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for all periods presented. Cash management and financing Prior to the IPO, Nextracker participated in Flex’s centralized cash management programs. Disbursements were independently managed by Nextracker. All significant transactions between Nextracker and Flex that have not been historically cash settled have been reflected in the consolidated statement of cash flows, for the period prior to the IPO, as net transfers to parent as these are deemed to be internal financing transactions. All intra-company accounts, profits and transactions have been eliminated. The following is a summary of material transactions reflected in the accumulated net parent investment during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021
