Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Use of Estimates | 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because these estimates and assumptions require significant judgment, actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We reevaluate our estimates and assumptions as needed, but at a minimum on a quarterly basis. The most significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty accrual, worker's compensation accrual, medical insurance accrual, income taxes and share-based compensation. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in the form of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, with the issuance of ASU 2015-14, the FASB amended the effective date for public companies to January 1, 2018. The following ASUs were issued in 2016 along with ASU 2014-09 with the same effective dates and transition requirements:
• | ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which provides implementation guidance for Topic 606 on principal versus agent considerations.
• | ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which provides clarification for two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance.
• | ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which further amends Topic 606.
• | ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which further amends Topic 606.
The Company plans to adopt using the retrospective transition method. The Company believes the impact will not be material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company has reviewed all types of customer contracts and gone through the five step process outlined in ASU 2014-09 for all contracts. The new five step process required by ASU 2014-09 provides results substantially consistent with our current revenue recognition policies. The Company is still in the process of determining categories to use to disaggregate revenue. The primary change upon adoption will be additional disclosures to show disaggregated revenue and further details around our revenue recognition process. Once we adopt ASU 2014-09, we do not anticipate that our internal control framework will materially change, but rather that existing internal controls will be modified and augmented, as necessary, to consider our new revenue recognition policy effective January 1, 2018. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which will address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The ASU becomes effective in the annual reporting period beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim reporting periods. We do not expect ASU 2016-01 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting, which addresses changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The ASU becomes effective in the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods. We do not expect ASU 2017-09 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
