Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements |
1. | Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements:
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the notes thereto presented in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements, and do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of interim periods. The financial statements include all the accounts of MEDNAX, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “MDX”) together with the accounts of MDX’s affiliated business corporations or professional associations, professional corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships (the “affiliated professional contractors”). Certain subsidiaries of MDX have contractual management arrangements with its affiliated professional contractors, which are separate legal entities that provide physician services in certain states and Puerto Rico. The terms “MEDNAX” and the “Company” refer collectively to MEDNAX, Inc., its subsidiaries and the affiliated professional contractors. The Company is a party to a joint venture in which it owns a 37.5% economic interest and a second joint venture in which it owns a 49.0% economic interest. The Company accounts for these joint ventures under the equity method of accounting because the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, these entities. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be experienced for the entire fiscal year. In addition, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”). On November 1, 2018, the Company announced the initiation of a process to potentially divest the Company’s management services service line to allow the Company to focus on its core physician services business. The Company determined that the criterion to classify the management services service line as assets held for sale within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets effective March 31, 2019 were met, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of that service line were classified as current assets and liabilities held for sale at March 31, 2019. In addition, in accordance with accounting guidance for discontinued operations, the expected divestiture of the management services service line was deemed to represent a fundamental strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations, and accordingly, the operating results of the service line were reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Reclassifications have been made to certain prior period financial statements and footnote disclosures to reflect the impact of discontinued operations. See note 6 for more information. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the accounting guidance related to leases was issued that require an entity to recognize leased assets and the rights and obligations created by those leased assets on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about the entity’s leasing arrangements. This guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance had a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and related disclosures, resulting from the recognition of significant right of use assets and related liabilities, primarily related to its operating lease arrangements for space in hospitals and certain other facilities for its business and medical offices. See note 8 for more information.
