Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements | 1.Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Coca‑Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal, recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented:
| • | The financial position as of April 1, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
| • | The results of operations and comprehensive income for the 13 week periods ended April 1, 2018 (“first quarter” of fiscal 2018 (“2018”)) and April 2, 2017 (“first quarter” of fiscal 2017 (“2017”)).
| • | The changes in equity and cash flows for the first quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2017.
The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis. These policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant Accounting Policies In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of its consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10‑K for 2017 under the caption “Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements” in Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” a discussion of the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those the Company believes to be the most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Aside from the accounting standards discussed in “Recently Adopted Pronouncements” below, the Company did not make changes in significant accounting policies during the first quarter of 2018. Any changes in critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company during the quarter in which a change is contemplated and prior to making such change. Recently Adopted Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (the “revenue recognition standard”). Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014‑09, the FASB issued several additional accounting standards for revenue recognition to update the effective date of the revenue recognition guidance and to provide additional clarification on the updated standard. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the revenue recognition standard in the first quarter of 2018, as discussed in Note 2. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which revises the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes in financial liabilities measured at fair value. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and there was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 “Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and there was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount. Under the new guidance, entities should instead perform annual or interim goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the respective reporting unit. The new guidance is effective for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and there was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑07 “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost,” which requires that the service cost component of the Company’s net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost be included in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees, with the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost being classified outside of a subtotal of income from operations. Of the components of net periodic benefit cost, only the service cost component is eligible for asset capitalization. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 using the practical expedient which allows entities to use information previously disclosed in their pension and other postretirement benefit plans note as the estimation basis to apply the retrospective presentation requirements in ASU 2017-07. With the adoption of this guidance in the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded the non-service cost component of net periodic benefit cost, which totaled $0.7 million, to other income (expense), net in the consolidated condensed financial statements. The Company reclassified $1.4 million of non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost and other benefit plan charges from the first quarter of 2017 from selling, delivery and administrative (“S,D&A”) expenses to other income (expense), net in the consolidated condensed financial statements. The non-service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is included in the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment. Recently Issued Pronouncements In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑02 “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which provides the option to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and can be early adopted. The Company is currently evaluating whether it will adopt this guidance. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases,” which requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases (other than leases meeting the definition of a short-term lease). The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods beginning the following fiscal year. The Company anticipates adopting the new accounting standard on December 31, 2018, the first day of fiscal 2019, using the optional transition method, which was approved by the FASB in March 2018 and allows companies the option to use the effective date as the date of initial application on transition and to not adjust comparative period financial information or make the new required disclosures for periods prior to the effective date. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements and anticipates this impact will be material to its consolidated condensed balance sheets. Additionally, the Company is evaluating the impacts of the standard beyond accounting, including system, data and process changes required to comply with the standard.
