Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Andersons, Inc. and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Company”). Controlled subsidiaries include majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The portion of these entities that is not owned by the Company is presented as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in unconsolidated entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. During the third quarter of 2021, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Rail business were classified as held-for-sale in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As discussed further in Note 14, the Company executed a definitive agreement to sell the Rail Leasing business. In conjunction with the sale of the Rail Leasing business, the Company announced its intent to divest the remainder of the Rail business, primarily consistent of the Rail Repair business. These transactions effectively constitute the entirety of what has historically been included in the Rail reportable segment. Therefore, the associated operating results, net of income tax, have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, with the exception of the statements of cash flows and unless otherwise indicated, amounts and activity are presented on a continuing operations basis. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to current year classifications. The reclassification relates to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet presentation of assets and liabilities as held for sale and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations presentation of results classified as discontinued operations in relation to the Rail business transactions noted above. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal and recurring items considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the periods indicated have been made. The results in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. An unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020 has been included as the Company operates in several seasonal industries. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data at December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in The Andersons, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Simplified Accounting for Income Taxes In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12. The new standard simplifies accounting for income taxes, including guidance relating to the approach for calculating income taxes in an interim period, intraperiod tax allocation, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities among other items. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The new standard did not have a material impact to the company’s financial statements or disclosures.
