Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements | 1.Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coca‑Cola Consolidated, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated 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 June 30, 2019 and December 30, 2018.
| • | The results of operations and comprehensive income for the 13 week periods ended June 30, 2019 (the “second quarter” of fiscal 2019 (“2019”)) and July 1, 2018 (the “second quarter” of fiscal 2018 (“2018”)), and the 26 week periods ended June 30, 2019 (the “first half” of 2019) and July 1, 2018 (the “first half” of 2018).
| • | The changes in cash flows and equity for the first half of 2019 and the first half of 2018.
The condensed consolidated 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 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of 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 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 condensed consolidated 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 2018 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. 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 Accounting Pronouncements In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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. This standard is required to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the changes in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate pursuant to the Tax Act are recognized. 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 adopted ASU 2018‑02 in the first quarter of 2019 and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in 2019. The cumulative effect adjustment increased retained earnings by $19.7 million. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” (the “lease standard”). The lease standard 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 adopted the new accounting standard during the first quarter of 2019 using the optional transition method. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s adoption of the lease standard.
