Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading brands serving construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows have been made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Because of seasonal and other factors, the financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 may not be indicative of Arcosa's expected business, financial condition, and results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2023. These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders' EquityIn December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) authorized a new $50.0 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to replace a program of the same amount that expired on December 31, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares, leaving the full amount of the $50.0 million authorization available as of September 30, 2023.
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue, separated by reportable segments. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. For a further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 4 Segment Information. Construction Products The Construction Products segment recognizes substantially all revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer. Engineered Structures Within the Engineered Structures segment, revenue is recognized for our wind tower and certain utility structure businesses over time as the products are manufactured using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of production. We recognize revenue over time for these products as they are highly customized to the needs of an individual customer resulting in no alternative use to the Company if not purchased by the customer after the contract is executed. In addition, we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a reasonable profit margin for work performed. As of September 30, 2023, we had a contract asset of $58.9 million related to these contracts, compared to $77.5 million as of December 31, 2022, which is included in receivables, net of allowance, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the contract asset is attributed to timing of deliveries of finished structures to customers during the period. For all other products, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer. Transportation Products The Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer. Unsatisfied Performance Obligations The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of September 30, 2023 and the percentage of the outstanding performance obligations as of September 30, 2023 expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2023:
| Unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2023 |  |
| Total Amount |  | Percent expected to be delivered in 2023 |  |
| (in millions) |  |  |  |
Engineered Structures: |  |  |  |  |
Utility, wind, and related structures | $ | 1,450.8 |  |  | 15 | % |  |
Transportation Products: |  |  |  |  |
Inland barges | $ | 240.4 |  |  | 26 | % |  |
Of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for utility, wind, and related structures, 33% are expected to be delivered during 2024 with the remainder expected to be delivered through 2028. All of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for inland barges are expected to be delivered during 2024.
Income Tax | Income Taxes The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized. The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of realization of tax benefits derived from positions it has taken in various federal and state filings after consideration of all relevant facts, circumstances, and available information. For those tax positions that are deemed more likely than not to be sustained, the Company recognizes the benefit it believes is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of recorded reserves, the effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially impacted.
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Financial InstrumentsThe Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk | Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Company places its cash investments in bank deposits and highly-rated money market funds, and its investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. We seek to limit concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables with control procedures that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, together with the large number of customers in the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. As receivables are generally unsecured, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected credit losses. Receivable balances determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. To accelerate the conversion to cash, the Company may sell a portion of its trade receivables to third parties. The Company has no recourse to these receivables once they are sold but may have continuing involvement related to servicing and collection activities. The impact of these transactions in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was not significant. The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments The Company may, from time to time, use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, commodity prices, or changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For derivative instruments designated as hedges, the Company formally documents the relationship between the derivative instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the derivative instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivative to specific assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative instrument is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, the Company assesses whether the derivative instrument is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Any change in the fair value of the hedged instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company monitors its derivative positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate losses due to counterparties' non-performance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Effective as of January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, (“ASU 2021-08”), which requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective as of May 8, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform”, (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance for contract modifications, hedging accounting, and other transactions associated with the transition from reference rates that expired on June 30, 2023. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities upon issuance through December 31, 2024 as amended by ASU 2022-06. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in the Consolidated Financial Statements to conform with the 2023 presentation.
