Credit Loss [Abstract] |
Receivables and allowance for expected credit loss | Receivables and allowance for expected credit losses Receivables consist primarily of trade and contracting services receivables from the sale of goods and services, net of expected credit losses. The Company's trade receivables are all due in 12 months or less. The total balance of receivables past due 90 days or more was $70.2 million, $39.8 million and $45.7 million at March 31, 2024 and 2023, and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company's expected credit losses are determined through a review using historical credit loss experience; changes in asset specific characteristics; current conditions; and reasonable and supportable future forecasts, among other specific account data, and is performed at least quarterly. The Company develops and documents its methodology to determine its allowance for expected credit losses at each of its reportable business segments. Risk characteristics used by the business segments may include customer mix, knowledge of customers and general economic conditions of the various local economies, among others. Specific account balances are written off when management determines the amounts to be uncollectible. Management has reviewed the balance reserved through the allowance for expected credit losses and believes it is reasonable. Details of the Company's expected credit losses were as follows:
