1.Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

We empower organizations of all sizes with Insight Intelligent Technology SolutionsTM and services to maximize the business value of Information Technology (“IT”) in North America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”).  As a Fortune 500-ranked global provider of digital innovation, cloud/data center transformation, and connected workforce solutions, together with our supply chain optimization expertise, we help clients innovate and optimize their operations to run smarter.  Our company is organized in the following three operating segments, which are primarily defined by their related geographies:

 

Operating Segment

Geography

North America

United States and Canada

EMEA

Europe, Middle East and Africa

APAC

Asia-Pacific

 

Our offerings in North America and certain countries in EMEA and APAC include hardware, software and services, including cloud solutions.  Our offerings in the remainder of our EMEA and APAC segments are largely software and certain software-related services and cloud solutions.  

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2021 and our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at such date.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year, due in part to the seasonal nature of our business.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the related notes thereto, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Insight Enterprises, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements.  Additionally, these estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales recognition, anticipated achievement levels under partner funding programs, assumptions related to stock-based compensation valuation, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories, litigation-related obligations, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and impairment of long-lived assets, including purchased intangibles and goodwill, if indicators of potential impairment exist.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.”  The new standard is intended to simplify various aspects of accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions and amending certain requirements.  We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2021.  The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”.  The new guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for certain convertible instruments with characteristics of both liability and equity.  The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments.  As a result, after the adoption of this guidance, an entity’s convertible debt instrument will be wholly accounted for as debt.  The guidance also expands disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and simplifies areas of the guidance for diluted earnings-per-share calculations by requiring the use of the if-converted method.  The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements; however, we expect our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets will be significantly impacted following adoption of this new standard on January 1, 2022, as we will no longer report accreted interest on the Notes and the full par value of the Notes will be reflected as debt.

There have been no other material changes in or additions to the recently issued accounting standards as previously reported in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 that affect or may affect our current financial statements.
