Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
The Company and Basis of Presentation | The Company and Basis of Presentation AZZ Inc. (“AZZ”, the “Company”, "our" or “we”) was established in 1956 and incorporated under the laws of the state of Texas. The Company is a global provider of metal coating solutions, welding solutions, specialty electrical equipment and highly engineered services to the power generation, transmission, distribution, refining and industrial markets. The Company has two distinct operating segments: the Metal Coatings segment and the Infrastructure Solutions segment (previously referred to as the Company's Energy segment). AZZ Metal Coatings provides hot dip galvanizing, powder coating, anodizing and plating, and other metal coating applications to the steel fabrication and other industries through facilities located throughout the United States and Canada. AZZ Infrastructure Solutions is dedicated to delivering safe and reliable transmission of power from generation sources to end customers, and automated weld overlay solutions for corrosion and erosion mitigation to critical infrastructure in markets worldwide. Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 29, 2020, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K covering such period. The Company's fiscal year ends on the last day of February and is identified as the fiscal year for the calendar year in which it ends. For example, the fiscal year ending February 28, 2021 is referred to as fiscal 2021. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2020, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, and cash flows for the nine months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Coronavirus (COVID-19) In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the viral strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The spread of COVID-19 and the resulting economic contraction has resulted in increased business uncertainty. The Company continues to be impacted by the inability for its Infrastructure Solutions Industrial Platform to access certain customer sites to perform services, temporary slow-downs in order placements in the Infrastructure Solutions Electrical Platform, and increased costs associated with maintaining safe operations across the entire business. The Company has been able to remain open during the pandemic to service its customers. The consequences of a prolonged economic decline could include, but are not limited to, reduced sales, increased instances of uncollectible customer receivables, and increased asset impairments in future periods. Accordingly, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, or the extent to which the disruption may materially impact its consolidated balance sheet, statements of operations or statements of cash flows for fiscal year 2021 or beyond.
New Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments, including the Company's accounts receivable and contract assets. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 in the first quarter of its fiscal 2021 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"), which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, in order to determine the applicable costs to capitalize and the applicable costs to expense as incurred. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 in the first quarter of its fiscal 2021 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard is intended to simplify the accounting and disclosure requirements for income taxes by eliminating various exceptions in accounting for income taxes as well as clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistency in the application of ASC 740. The standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
