Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Preparation | Basis of Preparation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Chart Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (herein referred to as the “Company,” “Chart,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. Nature of Operations: We are a leading independent global manufacturer of highly engineered cryogenic equipment servicing multiple applications in the industrial gas and clean energy markets. Our unique product portfolio is used in every phase of the liquid gas supply chain, including upfront engineering, service and repair. Being at the forefront of the clean energy transition, Chart is a leading provider of technology, equipment and services related to liquefied natural gas, hydrogen, biogas, CO2 Capture and water treatment, among other applications. We are committed to excellence in environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues both for our company as well as our customers. With over 25 global manufacturing locations from the United States to Asia, India and Europe, we maintain accountability and transparency to our team members, suppliers, customers and communities. Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chart Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Reclassifications: We reclassified equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net from selling, general, and administrative expenses to equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net in the 2021 condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income in order to conform to the 2022 presentation. Derivative Instruments: We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to enhance our ability to manage foreign currency risk that exists as part of ongoing business operations. We enter into a combination of cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange collars as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain international subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility caused by changes in exchange rates. Our cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange collars are measured at fair value and recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets within other assets or other long-term liabilities. Changes in fair value are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments within accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 8, “Debt and Credit Arrangements,” for further information regarding the cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange collars. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions, based on a number of factors including the current macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and supply chain disruptions, as well as risks set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Not Yet Adopted): In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” The amendments in this update clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction and adds additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” The amendments in this update require that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” and in January 2021, the FASB subsequently issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope.” ASU 2020-04 and the subsequent modifications are identified as ASC 848 (“ASC 848”). ASC 848 simplifies the accounting for modifying contracts (including those in hedging relationships) that refer to LIBOR and other interbank offered rates that are expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The amendments in ASC 848 are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in ASC 848 must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. We expect application of the amendments to impact accounting for our senior secured revolving credit facility due October 2026. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance.” The amendments in this update require annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution model by analogy. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities within their scope for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application of the amendments is permitted. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The amendments in this update require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance effective April 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
