Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies | Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business Description: Kimball Electronics, Inc. (also referred to herein as “Kimball Electronics,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a global, multifaceted manufacturing solutions provider. We provide contract electronics manufacturing services (“EMS”) and diversified manufacturing services, including engineering and supply chain support, to customers in the automotive, medical, industrial, and public safety end markets. We offer a package of value that begins with our core competency of producing “durable electronics” and includes our set of robust processes and procedures that help us ensure that we deliver the highest levels of quality, reliability, and service throughout the entire life cycle of our customers’ products. We further offer diversified contract manufacturing services for non-electronic components, medical disposables, precision molded plastics, and production automation, test, and inspection equipment. We are consistently recognized by customers and industry trade publications for our excellent quality, reliability, and innovative service. Basis of Presentation: The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein reflect the consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and share owners’ equity for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The financial data presented herein is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the annual Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020 and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Management believes the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year. Additionally, t he impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic on our business are currently not fully known. Continued related disruptions, including to the supply chain, transportation systems, and demand for our customers products, could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. We continue to actively monitor the situation and take actions that may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which we operate. We cannot predict the duration or severity of the impact COVID-19 could have on our business or on our future financial results. Revenue Recognition: Our revenue from contracts with customers is generated primarily from manufacturing services provided for the production of electronic assemblies, electronic and non-electronic components, medical disposables, precision molded plastics, and automation, test, and inspection equipment all built to customer’s specifications. Our customer agreements are generally not for a definitive term but continue for the relevant product’s life cycle. Typically, our customer agreements do not commit the customer to purchase our services until a purchase order is provided, which is generally short term in nature. Customer purchase orders primarily have a single performance obligation. Generally, the prices stated in the customer purchase orders are agreed upon prices for the manufactured product and do not vary over the term of the order, and therefore, the majority of our contracts do not contain variable consideration. In limited circumstances, we may enter into a contract which contains minimum quantity thresholds to cover our capital costs, and we may offer our customer a rebate for specific volume thresholds or other incentives; in these cases, we account for these pricing components as variable consideration. The majority of our revenue is recognized over time as manufacturing services are performed as we manufacture a product to customer specifications with no alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The remaining revenue for manufacturing services is recognized when the customer obtains control of the product, typically either upon shipment or delivery of the product dependent on the terms of the contract, and the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. We generally recognize revenue over time using costs based input methods, in which judgment is required to evaluate assumptions including the total estimated costs to determine our progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. Estimated costs include material, direct and indirect labor, and appropriate applied overheads. Costs based input methods are considered a faithful depiction of our efforts and progress toward satisfying our performance obligations for manufacturing services and for which we believe we are entitled to payment for performance completed to date. The cumulative effect of revisions to estimates related to net contract revenues or costs are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated services and products. Accordingly, we record customer payments of shipping and handling costs as a component of net sales and classify such costs as a component of cost of sales. We recognize sales net of applicable sales or value add taxes. Based on estimated product returns and price concessions, a reserve for returns and allowances is recorded at the time revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of net revenue. Direct incremental costs to obtain and fulfill a contract are capitalized as a contract asset only if they are material, expected to be recovered, and are not accounted for in accordance with other guidance. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense in the period incurred. Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable: The Company’s notes receivable and trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. We determine on a case-by-case basis the cessation of accruing interest, the resumption of accruing interest, the method of recording payments received on nonaccrual receivables, and the delinquency status for our limited number of notes receivable. Our policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable and notes receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to estimate expected credit losses on the trade accounts receivable and notes receivable. Management believes that historical loss information generally provides a basis for its assessment of expected credit losses. Trade accounts receivable and notes receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. See section entitled “New Accounting Standards” below for information on the adoption of the new accounting standard for the measurement of credit losses. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In the ordinary course of business, customers periodically negotiate extended payment terms on trade accounts receivable. Customary terms require payment within 30 to 45 days, with any terms beyond 45 days being considered extended payment terms. We utilize factoring arrangements for certain of our accounts receivables with third-party financial institutions in order to extend terms for the customer without negatively impacting our cash flow. These arrangements in all cases do not contain recourse provisions which would obligate us in the event of our customers’ failure to pay. Receivables are considered sold when they are transferred beyond the reach of Kimball Electronics and its creditors, the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables, and we have surrendered control over the transferred receivables. In the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we sold, without recourse, $246.3 million and $202.0 million of accounts receivable, respectively. Factoring fees were $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $1.0 million and $1.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Factoring fees are recorded in Selling and Administrative Expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. One of our China operations, in limited circumstances, may receive banker’s acceptance drafts from customers as payment on account. The banker’s acceptance drafts are non-interest bearing and primarily mature within six months from the origination date. The Company has the ability to sell the drafts at a discount or transfer the drafts in settlement of current accounts payable prior to the scheduled maturity date. These drafts, which totaled less than $0.1 million at March 31, 2021 and $7.1 million at June 30, 2020, are reflected in Receivables on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until the banker’s drafts are sold at a discount, transferred in settlement of current accounts payable, or cash is received at maturity. Banker’s acceptance drafts sold at a discount or transferred in settlement of current accounts payable during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $1.8 million and $6.5 million, respectively. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary, goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, goodwill is written down to its estimated fair value. Other Intangible Assets consist of capitalized software, customer relationships, technology, and trade name, and are reviewed for impairment, and their remaining useful lives evaluated for revision, when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. As of March 31, 2021, the Company determined there have been no indicators of impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets. See Note 12 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial statements for more information on Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Leases: The Company leases certain office, manufacturing, and warehouse facilities under operating leases, in addition to land on which certain office and manufacturing facilities resides. Operating lease costs and cash payments for operating leases are immaterial to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities each totaled $1.8 million and $2.0 million at March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Lease right-of-use assets are included in Other Assets and lease liabilities are included in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other General Income: Other General Income in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 included $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of pre-tax income resulting from payments received related to class action lawsuits in which Kimball Electronics was a class member. No Other General Income was recorded in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020. Non-operating Income (Expense), net: Non-operating income (expense), net includes the impact of such items as foreign currency rate movements and related derivative gain or loss, fair value adjustments on supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) investments, amortization of actuarial gains (losses), and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations. The gain on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in Selling and Administrative Expenses. Components of Non-operating income (expense), net:

Income Taxes: In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and available tax planning opportunities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Unusual or infrequently occurring items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities, recorded in Other Assets and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We evaluate the recoverability of deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we provide a valuation allowance based on our best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management’s assessment. We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex uncertain tax positions, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. We maintain a liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions. As tax positions are effectively settled, the tax liability is adjusted accordingly. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision for Income Taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) was enacted into law on December 22, 2017. Tax Reform made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, for which complete guidance may have not yet been issued. Tax Reform changes included, but were not limited to, (i) reducing the U.S. corporate statutory tax rate, (ii) requiring a one-time transition tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries that is payable over an eight-year period, (iii) eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, and (iv) bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualifying property. As of both March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the remaining provision recorded for the one-time deemed repatriation tax was $9.8 million, payable through fiscal year 2026, with the long-term portion recorded in Long-term income taxes payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2021, $0.9 million of the remaining deemed repatriation tax is short term and is recorded in Accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law making several changes to the Internal Revenue Code. The changes include but are not limited to: increasing the limitation on the amount of deductible interest expense, allowing companies to carry back certain net operating losses, and increasing the amount of net operating loss carryforwards the corporations can use to offset taxable income. The tax law changes in the Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s Provision for Income Taxes for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021. New Accounting Standards: Adopted in fiscal year 2021: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on the Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. We adopted this standard effective July 1, 2020, the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal year 2021, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. This new guidance amends the accounting for implementation, setup, and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing hosting arrangement. The amendment aligns the requirement for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendment also requires companies to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement, including options to extend the agreement that is in control of the customer. We adopted this standard prospectively during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Not Yet Adopted: In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance on Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, intended to simplify various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
