The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries that are consolidated in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments except where disclosed) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operation, and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of the condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Summary of Accounting Policies Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets The Company applies a fair value-based impairment test to the carrying value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis (as of October 31) and, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred, on an interim basis. As disclosed in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies - Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets," to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of its 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company concluded there was no impairment in its goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 31, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company identified a triggering event for its clean energy reporting unit requiring an interim impairment assessment to be performed due to the loss of a key customer as well as certain clean energy product warranty-related matters. Estimates and assumptions used when preparing the discounted cash flow analysis for purposes of the interim impairment test were based on updated projections that are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including forecasted revenues, expenses, and cash flows as well as the current discount rate based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital for the business. Based on the interim impairment assessment as of September 30, 2022, the Company determined that the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets ascribed to the clean energy reporting unit are not impaired. If management's estimates of future operating results change or if there are changes to other assumptions due to the economic environment, the estimate of the fair values may change significantly. Such change could result in impairment charges in future periods, which could have a significant impact on the Company's operating results and financial condition. New Accounting Pronouncements Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standard updates (ASUs) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). ASUs issued were assessed and have already been adopted in a prior period or determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
