Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements |
1. | Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements:
The accompanying unaudited 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 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”). In October 2019, the Company divested its management services organization, which operated as MedData, to allow the Company to focus on its core physician services business. The operating results of MedData were reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2019. See note 6 for more information. New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, accounting guidance related to income taxes was issued with the goal of enhancing and simplifying various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements related to hybrid tax regimes, deferred taxes on step-up in tax basis of goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, separate financial statements of entities not subject to tax, the intraperiod tax allocation exception to the incremental approach, deferred tax liabilities on outside basis differences, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law and certain year-to-date loss limitations. The guidance becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2021, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company does not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
