Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Plan of Business Operations | Organization and Plan of Business Operations Limbach Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Limbach,” “we” or “us”), is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that was formed on July 20, 2016, as a result of a business combination with Limbach Holdings LLC (“LHLLC”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Limbach Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Limbach Holdings LLC (“LHLLC”), Limbach Facility Services LLC, Limbach Company LLC, Limbach Company LP, Harper Limbach LLC, and Harper Limbach Construction LLC. We operate in two segments, (i) Construction, in which we generally manage new construction or renovation projects that involve primarily HVAC, plumbing, or electrical services, and (ii) Service, in which we provide maintenance or service primarily on HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems and building controls direct for building owners and direct specialty contracting projects. This work is primarily performed under fixed price, modified fixed price, and time and material contracts over periods of typically less than two years. The Company's customers operate in several different industries, including healthcare, education, sports and entertainment, infrastructure, government, hospitality, commercial, mission critical, and industrial manufacturing. The Company operates primarily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest, and Southwestern regions of the United States. Emerging Growth Company Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We ceased to qualify as an emerging growth company on December 31, 2019, at which time we reached the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering of common equity securities. Accordingly, we are required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards as a public business entity. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption and volatility on a global scale resulting in, among other things, an economic slowdown and the possibility of a continued economic recession. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, national and local governments around the world instituted certain measures, including travel bans, restrictions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain non-essential businesses, curfews, shelter-in-place orders and recommendations to practice social distancing. The various governmental actions have abated over time, but remain applicable to Limbach's operations in various ways, often varying by state. In some instances, these orders continued to affect certain projects in our Construction and Service segments into the fourth quarter of 2020. In limited instances, projects chose to shutdown work irrespective of the existence or applicability of government action. In most markets, construction is considered an essential business and Limbach continued to staff its projects and perform work during each of the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, and most of the projects that were in progress at the time shutdowns commenced have restarted. The Company’s branches are expecting building owners to maintain or retrofit current facilities in lieu of funding larger capital projects as the effects of the pandemic remain ongoing and uncertain. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company took several actions to combat the adverse impacts that the COVID-19 outbreak had on our business including, but not limited to the following: •Identification of projects that have been shut down and methods for seeking to preserve any contractual entitlement that may exist to recover monetary and time impacts; •Establishment of a task force to identify possible types and areas of impact from COVID-19 for both shutdown and continuing operations; •Examination of the Company's productivity and potential impact on gross profit as a result of COVID-19; •Implementation of the Company's pandemic response plan; •Implemented our furlough and work schedule reduction plans, as well as permanent reductions in force; and •Temporarily suspended substantially all discretionary, non-essential expenditures, including but not limited to, auto allowances, deferral of rent ranging between 1 and 3 months; and •A temporary 10% salary reduction for a select group of corporate and regional management, along with a 10% fee reduction in director compensation, and cost reduction opportunities identified by our external consultant. During the month of July 2020, with the substantial restart and return of project and service work, the Company removed the 10% salary reduction for the select group of corporate and regional management, along with the fee reduction for director compensation, returned auto allowances, reinstated positions, removed schedule reduction plans and discontinued our hiring freeze. In addition to the above actions, we continue to take steps to minimize the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and to protect the safety of our employees, and we continue to emphasize wearing of masks, more frequent washing of hands and tools, social distancing, and work protocols. Limbach's COVID-19 policy is based on the best practices provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration for essential workers. Our updated Work From Home Policy, along with the Company's business continuity planning and information technology enhancements enabled an orderly transition to remote work and facilitated social distancing for salaried employees. Testing and inpatient treatment for COVID-19 is covered under our medical plan and fees have been waived since the onset of the pandemic. Counseling is available through our employee assistance plan to assist employees with financial, mental and emotional stress related to the virus and other issues. While management has used all currently available information in its forecasts, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is highly uncertain, cannot be accurately predicted and is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related length of its impact on the global economy, such as a lengthy or severe recession or any other negative trend in the U.S. or global economy, and any new information that may emerge concerning the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain it or treat its impact. The continued impact on our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and prospects in the near-term and throughout 2021.
