Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
General | General Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of AAON, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and our operating subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our financial statements consolidate all of our affiliated entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. Because we hold certain rights that give us the power to direct the activities of two variable interest entities ("VIEs") (Note 14) that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance, combined with a variable interest that gives us the right to receive potentially significant benefits or the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses, we have a controlling financial interest in those VIEs. These financial statements have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, except that the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. Certain disclosures have been condensed in or omitted from these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We are engaged in the engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of air conditioning and heating equipment consisting of standard, semi-custom and custom rooftop units, chillers, packaged outdoor mechanical rooms, air handling units, makeup air units, energy recovery units, condensing units, geothermal/water-source heat pumps, coils, and controls. 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, 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. Impact of February 2021 Weather In February 2021, record-breaking winter storms affected Oklahoma and Texas, causing sustained below freezing temperatures, hazardous driving conditions, rolling blackouts, water main breaks, and a host of other weather related issues. In addition to significant absenteeism as a result of employees being unable to travel to and from work due to inadequate transportation and/or hazardous road conditions, the Company made the decision to shut down the Tulsa, OK and Longview, TX plants for several days. This decision was based on the expected employee absenteeism as well as the expected rolling blackouts caused by the increased demand on the electrical and natural gas power grids. Although we lost several production days in mid-February 2021, we do not believe that the impact of this weather event had a material adverse effect on the results of our operations, financial position and cash flows as of and for the year ending December 31, 2021. Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. The rapid spread of the pandemic and the continuously evolving responses to combat it have had an increasingly negative impact on the global economy. Our manufacturing operations are considered a critical infrastructure industry, as defined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as such, the decrees issued by national, state, and local governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have had minimal impact on our operations except for higher employee absenteeism, mostly in June 2020, in our manufacturing facilities. Our Longview, TX facility suffered from COVID-19 related absenteeism in the quarter ending September 30, 2021, which reduced the production of coils that were needed to complete units at our Tulsa, OK facility. We maintained continuous operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, except for planned maintenance in January and the weather related shutdown in February 2021. For the most part, our workers are able to socially distance themselves during the manufacturing process. Additional precautions have been taken to social distance workers that work in close environments and we have facilitated voluntary on-site COVID-19 vaccine clinics. The Company utilizes sanitation stations and performs additional cleaning and sanitation throughout the day. We witnessed increases in some of our raw material prices, especially in copper and steel, which appear to be an impact of COVID-19, and have put in place price increases in our products and continue to make strategic purchases of materials when we see opportunities. Although, we have experienced some supply chain challenges, due to our strong vendor relationships as well as our favorable liquidity position, we have experienced minimal disruption to our supply chain due to COVID-19. We anticipate that the average cost of raw materials and certain components purchased, including the impact of rising inflation and tariffs, for the remainder of 2021 will be higher than the costs experienced during the year ended December 31, 2020. The magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 remains unpredictable and we, therefore, continue to anticipate potential supply chain disruptions, some employee absenteeism, and additional health and safety costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic that could unfavorably impact our business. While our supply chain disruptions to date have been minimal and intermittent, they have impacted the production process which creates inefficiencies and can deteriorate our profit margins. Additionally, we continue to experience challenges in a tight labor market, especially the hiring of both skilled and unskilled production labor. In July 2021, we increased starting wages for our production workforce by 7.0%. We also have put a cost of living increase of 3.5% in place in October for all employees below the Director level. We will continue to implement human resource initiatives to retain and attract labor to further improve productivity and production efficiencies. Because we have managed to maintain almost continuous operations with reasonable lead times through 2020 and 2021, our order intake is strong and has increased throughout 2021 as the economy has opened back up and COVID-19 restrictions have lessened. We expect to increase our production for the remainder of 2021 and into 2022. We do not believe that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations, financial position and cash flows as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. However, we are continually monitoring the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the recent Delta variant, and its potential effects on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Accounting Policies A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies and management estimates is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Fair Value Measurements We adopted ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), as amended, as of January 1, 2020. The ASU includes additional disclosure requirements for unrealized gains and losses for Level 3 fair value measurements and significant observable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. There was not a material impact to financial statements upon adoption. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based upon assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. We use the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation technique inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels: •Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. •Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and (iv) inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. •Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Items categorized in Level 3 include the estimated fair values of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and goodwill acquired in a business combination. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability. Intangible Assets Our intangible assets include various trademarks, service marks and technical knowledge acquired in our February 2018 business combination. We amortize our intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We evaluate the carrying value of our amortizable intangible assets for potential impairment when events and circumstances warrant such a review. As of March 31, 2021, our intangible assets were fully amortized. As of December 31, 2020, our intangible assets, net of amortization, were approximately $38 thousand. The amount of amortization was $58 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $38 thousand and $175 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired business, in our February 2018 business combination, over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill at September 30, 2021 is deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is evaluated for impairment at least annually. We perform our annual assessment of impairment during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, and more frequently if circumstances warrant. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our goodwill was approximately $3.2 million. 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 ("ASC"). We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
