Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | (A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 include the accounts of Eagle Materials Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company, us, or we) and have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2020. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information in the following unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have been deemed an essential business with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have not yet experienced a material impact on our operations or financial position from this pandemic, there may be future effects on our business, both directly and indirectly, including with respect to customers, manufacturing operations, employees, suppliers, and the building materials and construction markets in general. Recent Accounting Pronouncements RECENTLY ADOPTED In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which is an update on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than the current model of incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including Accounts and Notes Receivable. The application of the forward-looking model may result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses than the current method. The adoption of this standard on April 1, 2020 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. PENDING ADOPTION In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within existing income tax guidance, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. The updated standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
