Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations: The Company’s operations consist of manufacturing, retail, construction services, and transportation activities. At March 30, 2024, the Company operated 43 manufacturing facilities throughout the United States (“U.S.”) and five manufacturing facilities in western Canada that primarily construct factory-built, timber-framed manufactured and modular houses that are sold primarily to independent retailers, builders/developers, and manufactured home community operators. The Company’s retail operations consist of 74 sales centers that sell manufactured houses to consumers throughout the U.S. The Company's construction services business provides installation and set-up services of factory built homes. The Company’s transportation business engages independent owners/drivers to transport recreational vehicles throughout the U.S. and Canada and manufactured houses in certain regions of the U.S. The Company also has a holding company located in the Netherlands. Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Estimates made in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, business combinations, reserves for obsolete inventory, accrued warranty costs, useful lives of fixed and intangible assets, asset impairment analyses, insurance reserves, legal reserves, repurchase reserves, share-based compensation, deferred tax valuation allowances, and estimated liability for product defect claims. Actual results could differ from those estimates, making it reasonably possible that a change in these estimates could occur within one year. Fiscal Year: The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest March 31. Fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022 include the 52-weeks ended March 30, 2024, April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022 respectively. Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied which generally occurs at a point in time through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company's customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance. Sales revenue is reported net of applicable sales tax. See Note 10, Revenue Recognition, for additional information. Cost of Sales: Cost of sales includes manufacturing costs such as: (i) materials; (ii) compensation and employee benefits for direct and indirect labor; (iii) fixed and variable manufacturing overhead costs; (iv) warranty costs; (v) inbound delivery costs; and (vi) depreciation of buildings and equipment. Manufacturing overhead costs include costs such as: (i) utilities; (ii) workers’ compensation and product liability self-insurance; (iii) real and personal property taxes on buildings and equipment; (iv) manufacturing supplies; (v) repairs and maintenance; and (vi) rents and leases for buildings and equipment. Cost of sales also includes certain post-manufacturing costs, to the extent such costs are the Company’s responsibility. Post-manufacturing costs may include delivery and setup, foundations, craning, roofing, exterior cladding, interior finishing, utility connections and other miscellaneous site costs. Generally, subcontractors are engaged to perform post-manufacturing activities. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) include costs such as (i) salaries, wages, incentives and employee benefits for executive, management, sales, engineering, accounting, information technology (“IT”) and administrative employees; (ii) sales commissions; (iii) marketing and advertising costs; (iv) legal and professional fees; (v) depreciation, rents and leases for administrative facilities, office equipment, IT equipment and computer software; and (vi) postage, office supplies, travel and telephone expenses. Advertising Costs and Delivery Costs and Revenue: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Total advertising expense was approximately $6.9 million, $3.6 million, and $1.8 million for fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Delivery costs are included in cost of sales and delivery revenue is included in net sales. Foreign Currency: Translation adjustments of the Company’s international subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Fair Value: The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. As such, the fair value of financial instruments is estimated using available market information and other valuation methods. The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the inputs and assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are: • Level 1—Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. • Level 2—Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active. • Level 3—Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques. The Company records accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities at cost. The carrying value of these instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that have original maturities less than 90 days at the time of their purchase. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value because of their short maturities. Allowance for Credit Losses: The Company extends credit terms on a customer-by-custo mer basis in the normal course of business and, as such, trade accounts receivable are subject to customary credit risk. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost reflects management’s estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets, measured primarily using historical experience, as well as current economic conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as changes to expected credit losses during the period, are recognized in earnings. At March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, accounts receivable were reflected net of reserves of $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Floor Plan Receivables: Floor plan receivables consist of loans the Company purchased from Triad Financial Services, Inc. ("Triad") in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 for $18.5 million, of which approximately $2.7 million remains outstanding at March 30, 2024, and amounts loaned by the Company through that financial institution to certain independent retailers for purchases of homes manufactured by the Company, of which $15.3 million was outstanding at March 30, 2024, both of which are carried net of payments received and recorded at amortized cost. The Company intends to hold the floor plan receivables until maturity or payoff. These loans are serviced by the financial institution, to which we pay a servicing fee. Upon execution of the financing arrangement, the loans are generally payable at the earlier of the sale of the underlying home or two years from the origination date. At March 30, 2024, floor plan receivables are included in Other Current Assets and Other Noncurrent Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The floor plan receivables are collateralized by the related homes, mitigating loss exposure. The Company and the financial institution evaluate the credit worthiness of each independent retailer prior to credit approval, including reviewing the independent retailer’s payment history, financial condition, and the overall economic environment. We evaluate the risk of credit loss in aggregate on existing loans with similar terms, based on historic experience and current economic conditions, as well as individual retailers with past due balances or other indications of heightened credit risk. The allowance for credit losses related to floor plan receivables was not material as of March 30, 2024. Loans are considered past due if any required interest or curtailment payment remains unpaid 30 days after the due date. Receivables are placed on non-performing status if any interest or installment payments are past due over 90 days. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when interest payments are past due over 90 days. At March 30, 2024, there were no floor plan receivables on nonaccrual status and the weighted-average age of the floor plan receivables was six months. Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined under the first-in, first-out method. Capitalized manufacturing costs include the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Retail inventories of new manufactured homes built by the Company are valued at manufacturing cost, including materials, labor and manufacturing overhead, or net purchase price if acquired from unaffiliated third parties. Property, Plant, and Equipment: Property, plant, and equipment are stated at acquisition date cost or fair value when acquired in a business combination. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method, generally over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements—3 to 10 years; buildings and improvements—8 to 25 years; and vehicles and machinery and equipment—3 to 8 years. At March 30, 2024, the Company owned or leased six idle manufacturing facilities. The net book value of idle facilities was $7.3 million at March 30, 2024. These properties are accounted for as long-lived assets to be held and used. It is the Company’s policy to evaluate the recoverability of property, plant, and equipment whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs the required impairment analysis by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is estimated based upon a combination of market and cost approaches, as appropriate. No impairment losses were recorded in fiscal 2024, 2023, or 2022. Leases: The Company has operating leases for land, manufacturing and office facilities, and equipment. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such option. The Company's leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. The Company has elected not to recognize any right of use asset or lease liability for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. The discount rate used to measure a lease obligation should be the rate implicit in the lease; however, the Company’s operating leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. Accordingly, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is an entity-specific rate which represents the rate of interest a lessee would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term with similar payments. Assets held for sale: Long-lived assets expected to be sold or otherwise disposed of within one year are classified as assets held for sale and included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company had no assets classified as held for sale at March 30, 2024 or April 1, 2023. Goodwill: The Company tests goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 350. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Impairment testing is required more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In conducting its annual impairment testing, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If not, no further goodwill impairment testing is required. If it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit, the Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the related net book value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. In fiscal 2024, the Company performed qualitative assessments of its reporting units. The annual assessment was completed on the first day of fiscal March. The assessment indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its respective carrying value. The Company does not believe that any reporting units are at risk for impairment. Business combinations: The Company accounts for its business combinations in accordance with the accounting guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price of an acquired business is allocated to its identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment, the utilization of independent appraisal firms and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future cash flows, market rate assumptions, actuarial assumptions, and appropriate discount rates, among other items. Amortizable Intangible Assets: Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of fair values assigned to customer relationships and trade names. Trade names were valued based upon the relief-from-royalty method and customer relationships were valued based upon the multi-period excess earnings method. Amortization is provided over the useful lives of the intangible assets, generally up to ten years, using the straight-line method. The recoverability of amortizable intangible assets is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recovered, in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 360. Unconsolidated affiliates: The Company analyzes its investments in non-wholly owned subsidiaries to determine whether they are unconsolidated affiliates, consolidated affiliates, or variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary in accordance with ASC 810 Consolidation. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary, it must consolidate the VIE. In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary, the Company considers whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. The Company also considers whether it has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE. The Company uses the equity method to account for its investment in a variable interest entity made in fiscal 2023 in which the Company is not deemed to be th e primary beneficiary. The Company's net investment in its unconsolidated affiliate was $6.6 million and $2.5 million at March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively. Warranty Obligations: The Company’s manufactured housing operations generally provides the homebuyer with an assurance warranty from the date of respective purchase. Estimated warranty costs are accrued as cost of sales at the time of sale. Warranty provisions and reserves are based on estimates of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims on homes sold by the manufacturing segment as of the balance sheet date. Factors used to calculate the warranty obligation include the estimated number of homes still under warranty, the timing of workorder completion, and the historical average costs incurred to service a home. Dealer Volume Rebates: The Company’s manufacturing operations sponsors volume rebate programs under which sales to retailers and builder/developers can qualify for cash rebates generally based on the level of sales attained during a twelve-month period. Volume rebates are accrued at the time of sale and are recorded as a reduction of net sales. Repurchase Agreements: The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with lending institutions that provide wholesale floor plan financing to retailers. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer on their agreement to pay the financial institution. The risk of loss from these agreements is spread over numerous retailers. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product less contractually defined curtailment payments. The Company accounts for the guarantee under its repurchase agreements with the retailers’ financing institutions by estimating and deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the guarantee. Accrued Self-Insurance: The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of its workers’ compensation, general and product liability, auto liability, health, and property insurance. Insurance coverage is maintained for catastrophic exposures and those risks required to be insured by law. Estimated self-insurance costs are accrued for incurred claims and estimated claims incurred but not yet reported. At March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, the Company had gross reserves for estimated losses related to workers’ compensation obligations of $21.4 million a nd $23.8 million, respectively. The Company also recorded expected reimbursements for the portion of those losses above respective program l imits of $10.4 million and $11.0 million at March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively. Equity-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is generally recognized as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur. Comprehensive Income and Loss: Components of comprehensive income and loss are changes in equity other than those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The aggregate amount of such changes to equity that have not yet been recognized in net income or loss are reported in the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of tax. Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes is calculated using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is primarily dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. In determining the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns, judgment is required. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption: In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources.
