Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies | 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 | 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 lease standard in 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.
Recently Issued Pronouncements | Recently Issued Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses at the point a loss is probable to occur, rather than expected to occur, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016‑13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition | The Company offers a range of nonalcoholic beverage products and flavors designed to meet the demands of its consumers, including both sparkling and still beverages. Sparkling beverages are carbonated beverages and the Company’s principal sparkling beverage is Coca‑Cola. Still beverages include energy products and noncarbonated beverages such as bottled water, tea, ready to drink coffee, enhanced water, juices and sports drinks. The Company’s products are sold and distributed in the United States through various channels, which include selling directly to retail stores and other outlets such as food markets, institutional accounts and vending machine outlets. The Company typically collects payment from customers within 30 days from the date of sale. The Company’s sales are divided into two main categories: (i) bottle/can sales and (ii) other sales. Bottle/can sales include products packaged primarily in plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Bottle/can net pricing is based on the invoice price charged to customers reduced by any promotional allowances. Bottle/can net pricing per unit is impacted by the price charged per package, the sales volume generated for each package and the channels in which those packages are sold. Other sales include sales to other Coca‑Cola bottlers, “post‑mix” products, transportation revenue and equipment maintenance revenue. Post-mix products are dispensed through equipment that mixes fountain syrups with carbonated or still water, enabling fountain retailers to sell finished products to consumers in cups or glasses. The Company’s contracts are derived from customer orders, including customer sales incentives, generated through an order processing and replenishment model. Revenues do not include sales or other taxes collected from customers. The Company has defined its performance obligations for its contracts as either at a point in time or over time. Bottle/can sales, sales to other Coca‑Cola bottlers and post-mix sales are recognized when control transfers to a customer, which is generally upon delivery and is considered a single point in time (“point in time”). Point in time sales accounted for approximately 96% of the Company’s net sales in the first nine months of 2019 and approximately 97% of the Company’s net sales in the first nine months of 2018. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time and is included in the Nonalcoholic Beverages segment. Other sales, which include revenue for service fees related to the repair of cold drink equipment and delivery fees for freight hauling and brokerage services, are recognized over time (“over time”). Revenues related to cold drink equipment repair are recognized as the respective services are completed using a cost-to-cost input method. Repair services are generally completed in less than one day but can extend up to one month. Revenues related to freight hauling and brokerage services are recognized as the delivery occurs using a miles driven output method. Generally, delivery occurs and freight charges are recognized in the same day. Over time sales orders open at the end of a financial period are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers:

The Company participates in various sales programs with The Coca‑Cola Company, other beverage companies and customers to increase the sale of its products. Programs negotiated with customers include arrangements under which allowances can be earned for attaining agreed-upon sales levels. The cost of these various sales incentives are not considered a separate performance obligation and are included as deductions to net sales. Allowance payments made to customers can be conditional on the achievement of sales volume targets and/or marketing commitments. Payments made in advance are recorded as prepayments and amortized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the relevant period for which the customer commitment is made. In the event there is no separate identifiable benefit or the fair value of such benefit cannot be established, the amortization of the prepayment is included as a reduction to net sales. The Company historically presented consideration paid to customers under certain contractual arrangements for exclusive distribution rights and sponsorship privileges as a marketing expense within SD&A expenses. The Company has now determined such amounts should be presented as a reduction to net sales and has revised the presentation of previously issued financial statements to correct for this error. Management believes the effect on previously reported financial statements is not material. In addition, management believes the revised presentation provides consistency with other companies that operate in the beverage industry. Net sales and SD&A expenses were revised by $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2018 and $22.2 million in the first nine months of 2018. The revision had no impact to net income or net income per share. The majority of the Company’s contracts include multiple performance obligations related to the delivery of specifically identifiable products, which generally have a duration of less than one year. For sales contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using stated contractual price, which represents the standalone selling price of each distinct good sold under the contract. Generally, the Company’s service contracts have a single performance obligation. The Company sells its products and extends credit, generally without requiring collateral, based on an ongoing evaluation of the customer’s business prospects and financial condition. The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors, including the Company’s historic collections pattern and changes to a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts to adjust the recorded receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including prospective and retrospective rebates. The Company accounts for its prospective and retrospective rebates using the expected value method, which estimates the net price to the customer based on the customer’s expected annual sales volume projections. The Company experiences customer returns primarily as a result of damaged or out-of-date product. At any given time, the Company estimates less than 1% of bottle/can sales and post-mix sales could be at risk for return by customers. The Company’s reserve for customer returns, which was classified as allowance for doubtful accounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $3.6 million as of September 29, 2019 and $2.3 million as of December 30, 2018. Returned product is recognized as a reduction of net sales.
Lessees | The Company leases office and warehouse space, machinery and other equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements and also leases certain warehouse space under financing lease agreements. The Company adopted the lease standard using the optional transition method on December 31, 2018, the transition date, and elected to adopt the following practical expedients as accounting policy upon initial adoption of the lease standard:
• | Short-term lease exception: Allows the Company to not recognize leases with a contractual term of less than 12 months on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.
• | Election to not separate non-lease components: Allows the Company to not separate lease and non-lease components and to account for both components as a single component, recognized on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.
• | Package of practical expedients for transition: Allows the Company to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the transition date.
• | Additional transition method/relief: Allows the Company to apply the transition requirements in the lease standard as of the transition date, with any impact of initially applying the lease standard recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. This also requires the Company to maintain previous disclosure requirements for comparative periods.
Upon adoption of the lease standard on December 31, 2018, the Company recorded right of use assets for operating leases of $88.0 million and associated lease liabilities of $88.2 million. The adoption of the lease standard did not change previously reported condensed consolidated statements of operations, did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption and did not impact cash flows. The Company used the following policies and assumptions to evaluate its population of leases:
• | Determining a lease: The Company assesses contracts at inception to determine whether an arrangement is or includes a lease, which conveys the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right of use assets and associated liabilities are recognized at the commencement date and initially measured based on the present value of lease payments over the defined lease term.
• | Allocating lease and non-lease components: The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for certain classes of underlying assets. The Company has equipment and vehicle lease agreements, which generally have the lease and associated non-lease components accounted for as a single lease component. The Company has real estate lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately where applicable.
• | Discount rate: The Company calculates the discount rate based on the discount rate implicit in the lease, or if the implicit rate is not readily determinable from the lease, then the Company calculates an incremental borrowing rate using a portfolio approach. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated using the contractual lease term and the Company’s borrowing rate.
• | Lease term: The Company does not recognize leases with a contractual term of less than 12 months on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense for these short-term leases is expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
• | Rent increases or escalation clauses: Certain leases contain scheduled rent increases or escalation clauses, which can be based on the CPI or other rates. The Company assesses each contract individually and applies the appropriate variable payments based on the terms of the agreement.
• | Renewal options and/or purchase options: Certain leases include renewal options to extend the lease term and/or purchase options to purchase the leased asset. The Company assesses these options using a threshold of reasonably certain, which is a high threshold and, therefore, the majority of the Company’s leases do not include renewal periods or purchase options for the measurement of the right of use asset and the associated lease liability. For leases the Company is reasonably certain to renew or purchase, those options are included within the lease term and, therefore, included in the measurement of the right of use asset and the associated lease liability.
• | Option to terminate: Certain leases include the option to terminate the lease prior to its scheduled expiration. This allows a contractually bound party to terminate its obligation under the lease contract, typically in return for an agreed-upon financial consideration. The terms and conditions of the termination options vary by contract.
• | Residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants: The Company’s lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants.
