Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
General | General Basis of Presentation AAON, Inc. is a Nevada corporation which was incorporated on August 18, 1987. Our operating subsidiaries include AAON, Inc. (“AAON Oklahoma”), an Oklahoma corporation, AAON Coil Products, Inc. (“AAON Coil Products”), a Texas corporation, and BASX, Inc. (“BASX”) an Oregon corporation (collectively, the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of AAON, Inc. and our operating subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, 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 eight variable interest entities (“VIEs”) (Note 18) 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, 2024 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, 2024. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We are engaged in the engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of premium air conditioning and heating equipment consisting of standard, semi-custom, and custom rooftop units, data centers cooling solutions, cleanroom systems, 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 consolidated 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 valuation, inventory reserves, warranty accrual, income taxes, useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, estimated future use of leased property, share-based compensation, revenue percentage of completion and estimated costs to complete. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Macroeconomic Conditions Beginning in January 2025, the current United States (“U.S.”) Administration began enacting a series of tariffs affecting nearly all goods imported into the U.S. In retaliation, numerous foreign countries imposed reciprocal tariffs and restricted certain exports to the U.S. The continuous changes and uncertainty in tariff policy could impact our cost of materials, parts, or components imported into the U.S. and could impact the availability of supply from our vendors. We expect to continue to pass along some of these costs to our customers, but the increased price of our products could adversely affect the demand, which could have an adverse effect on our business and our earnings. Due to our favorable liquidity position, we are well positioned to make strategic purchases of materials when we see opportunities or potential disruptions in our supply chain. While we source a significant amount of our inventory and supplies from domestic vendors, certain vendors may source components internationally. We have experienced supply chain challenges related to specific manufacturing parts, which could be exacerbated by the trade conflict. We manage our supply chain challenges through strong vendor relationships as well as expanding our list of available vendors. Additionally, we continue to experience challenges in a tight labor market, especially the hiring of both skilled and unskilled production labor. We continue to implement human resource initiatives to retain and attract labor to further increase production capacity. We have implemented the following wage increases to remain competitive and to attract and retain employees: •In March 2024, we awarded annual merit raises for an overall 3.3% increase to wages. •In March 2025, we awarded annual merit raises for an overall 4.0% increase to wages. Despite efforts to mitigate the potential business impacts of trade conflict, supply chain challenges, and a tight labor market, future increases in the cost of materials, parts, components, or labor, in addition to supply chain disruptions, while temporary, could negatively impact our consolidated 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, 2024. Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of the items. The carrying amount of the Company’s debt, and other payables, approximate their fair values either due to their short-term nature, the variable rates associated with the debt or based on current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar characteristics. 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 intangible assets, contingent consideration, 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. Software Development Costs We capitalize costs incurred to purchase or develop software for internal use. Internal-use software development costs are capitalized during the application development stage. These capitalized costs are reflected in intangible assets, net and goodwill on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. The useful life of our internal-use software development costs is generally one to six years. Definite-Lived Intangible Assets Our definite-lived intangible assets include customer relationships, internal-use software and other intellectual property acquired in business combinations or asset acquisition. We amortize our definite-lived 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. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Intellectual property | 6 - 30 years
Customer relationships | 14 years
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired businesses over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill at March 31, 2025, is expected to be tax deductible in future periods. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trademarks and trade names. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are 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. 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 not listed or included within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
