We generate all of our operating revenue from contracts with customers. Our primary source of revenue is generated through the sale of manufactured motorized units, non-motorized towable units, and marine units to our independent dealer network (our customers). We also generate income through the sale of certain parts and services, acting as the principal in these arrangements. We apply the new revenue standard requirements to a portfolio of contracts (or performance obligations) with similar characteristics for transactions where it is expected that the effects on the financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying this guidance to the individual contracts (or performance obligations) within that portfolio. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the transaction price consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining benefits from the goods or services. Our transaction price consideration is fixed, unless otherwise disclosed below as variable consideration. We made an accounting policy election so that our revenue excludes sales and usage-based taxes collected.

Unit revenue

Unit revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when control passes, which generally occurs when the unit is shipped to or picked-up from our manufacturing facilities by the customer, which is consistent with our past practice. Our payment terms are typically before or on delivery, and do not include a significant financing component. The amount of consideration received and recorded to revenue varies with changes in marketing incentives and offers to our customers. These marketing incentives and offers to our customers are considered variable consideration. We adjust the estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed.

Our contracts include some incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract. We have made an accounting policy election to not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. We have made an accounting policy to account for any shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control as a fulfillment cost that is accrued when control is transferred. Warranty obligations associated with the sale of a unit are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the unit’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract. Contract costs incurred related to the sale of manufactured units are expensed at the point-in-time when the related revenue is recognized.

We do not have material contract assets or liabilities. We establish allowances for uncollectible receivables based on historical collection trends and write-off history.

Concentration of Risk

None of our dealer organizations accounted for more than 10% of our Net revenues for Fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017.
