Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation | Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation The Company. MGP Ingredients, Inc. (the “Company” or “MGP”) is a Kansas corporation headquartered in Atchison, Kansas and is a leading producer and supplier of premium distilled spirits, branded spirits, and food ingredients. Distilled spirits include premium bourbon, rye, and other whiskeys and grain neutral spirits (“GNS”), including vodka and gin. The Company’s distilled spirits are either sold directly or indirectly to manufacturers of other branded spirits. MGP is also a producer of high quality industrial alcohol for use in both food and non-food applications. The Company has a portfolio of its own high quality branded spirits which are produced through its distilleries and bottling facilities and sold to distributors. The Company’s branded spirits products account for a range of price points from value products through ultra premium brands, with a focus on high-end American whiskey, tequila, and gin. The Company’s protein and starch food ingredients provide a host of functional, nutritional, and sensory benefits for a wide range of food products to serve the consumer packaged goods industry. The ingredients products are sold directly, or through distributors, to manufacturers and processors of finished packaged goods or to bakeries. On June 1, 2023, the Company acquired Penelope Bourbon LLC (“Penelope”), which, prior to the Company’s acquisition, was a family and founder-owned and operated American whiskey company with a diverse portfolio of high-quality whiskeys in the premium plus price tiers. See Note 3, Business Combination, for further details. The Company reports three operating segments: Distilling Solutions, Branded Spirits, and Ingredient Solutions. Certain amounts in the 2022 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2023 presentation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the results for interim periods in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Company holds a 60 percent interest in Dos Primos Tequila, LLC (“Dos Primos”). The Company consolidated Dos Primos’ activity on the financial statements and presented the 40 percent non-controlling interest portion on a separate line. Use of Estimates. The financial reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP. The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The application of certain of these policies places demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events may not develop as forecast, and estimates routinely require adjustment and may require material adjustment. Inventory. Inventory includes finished goods, raw materials in the form of agricultural commodities used in the production process as well as bottles, caps, and labels used in the bottling process, and certain maintenance and repair items. Bourbons, ryes, and other whiskeys included in inventory are normally aged in barrels for several years, following industry practice. All barreled bourbon, rye, and other whiskeys are classified as a current asset. The Company includes warehousing, insurance, and other carrying charges applicable to barreled whiskey in inventory costs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method. Inventory valuations are impacted by constantly changing prices paid for key materials, primarily corn. Inventory consists of the following:
|  | September 30, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Finished goods |  | $ | 53,160 |  |  | $ | 47,073 |
Barreled distillate (bourbons and other whiskeys) |  | 239,051 |  |  | 199,040 |
Raw materials |  | 36,319 |  |  | 29,931 |
Work in process |  | 550 |  |  | 1,645 |
Maintenance materials |  | 10,528 |  |  | 9,931 |
Other |  | 2,793 |  |  | 2,102 |
Total |  | $ | 342,401 |  |  | $ | 289,722 |
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services, through performance obligations by the Company, is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the performance obligations. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant and the period between when the entity transfers the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is generally one year or less. Revenue is recognized for the sale of products at the point in time finished products are delivered to the customer in accordance with shipping terms. This is a faithful depiction of the satisfaction of the performance obligation because, at the point control passes to the customer, the customer has legal title and the risk and rewards of ownership have transferred, and the customer has a present obligation to pay. The Distilling Solutions segment routinely enters into bill and hold arrangements, whereby the Company produces and sells aged and unaged distillate to customers, and the product is barreled at the customer’s request and warehoused at a Company location for an extended period of time in accordance with directions received from the Company’s customers. Even though the aged and unaged distillate remains in the Company’s possession, a sale is recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the product. Control is transferred to the customer in bill and hold transactions when the customer acceptance specifications have been met, legal title has transferred, the customer has a present obligation to pay for the product, and the risk and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Additionally, all of the following bill and hold criteria have to be met in order for control to be transferred to the customer: the reason for the bill and hold arrangement is substantive, the customer has requested the product be warehoused, the product has been identified as separately belonging to the customer, the product is currently ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer. Warehouse services revenue is recognized over the time that warehouse services are rendered and as they are rendered. This is a faithful depiction of the satisfaction of the performance obligation because control of the aging products has already passed to the customer and there are no additional performance activities required by the Company, except as requested by the customer. The performance of the service activities, as requested, is invoiced as satisfied and revenue is concurrently recognized. Contract bottling is recognized over the time contract bottling services are rendered and as they are rendered. Sales in the Branded Spirits segment reflect reductions attributable to consideration given to customers in incentive programs, including discounts and allowances for certain volume targets. These allowances and discounts are not for distinct goods and are paid only when the depletion volume targets are achieved by the customer. The amounts reimbursed to customers are determined based on agreed-upon amounts and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. Excise Taxes. The Company is responsible for compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the U.S. Treasury Department (the “TTB”) regulations, which include making timely and accurate excise tax payments. The Company is subject to periodic compliance audits by the TTB. Individual U.S. states also impose excise taxes on alcohol beverages in varying amounts. The Company calculates its U.S. federal and state excise tax expense based upon units shipped and on its understanding of the applicable excise tax laws. Excise taxes that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, and that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue and expense. Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that at least some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Earnings Per Common Share (“EPS”). Basic and diluted EPS is computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income per share for each class of Common Stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Basic EPS amounts are computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed using the if-converted method by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding, inclusive of the impact of the Convertible Senior Notes, except for where the result would be anti-dilutive as of the balance sheet date. Translation of Foreign Currencies. Assets and liabilities of Niche Drinks Co., Ltd. (“Niche”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company whose functional currency is the British pound sterling, are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the condensed consolidated balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using average rates during the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation process are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company maintains a U.S. bank account denominated in British pound sterling, which is adjusted for the market exchange rate at the reporting period-end. Any impact of the adjustment for the exchange rate applied to the financial asset is reported in other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Business Combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed during a business combination are generally recorded at fair market value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is recognized to the extent that the purchase consideration, including contingent consideration, exceeds the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company uses its internal estimates and third party valuation specialists to assist in determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the measurement periods, which can be up to one year after the acquisition date, the Company can make adjustments to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the offset being an adjustment to goodwill. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company records goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in connection with various acquisitions of businesses and allocates the goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets to its respective reporting units. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually, in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if events and circumstances occur that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value. To the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment of goodwill is recognized. Judgment is required in the determination of reporting units, the assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, including goodwill, and the determination of fair value of the reporting units. The Company separately evaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. As of September 30, 2023, the Company determined that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based upon the observability of inputs. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company’s short-term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying value of the short-term financial instruments approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature. These financial instruments have no stated maturities or the financial instruments have short-term maturities that approximate market. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated based on current market interest rates for debt with similar maturities and credit quality. Excluding the impact of the conversion feature of the Convertible Senior Notes, the fair value of the Company’s debt was $223,030 and $150,249 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The financial statement carrying value of total debt (net of unamortized loan fees) was $316,677 and $230,335 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These fair values are considered Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value calculation of contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Penelope uses unobservable inputs, such as estimated net sales over the term of the earn-out period, discount rates, and volatility rates. The contingent consideration is measured using the Monte Carlo simulation approach. The inputs used in the calculation of the contingent consideration liability are considered Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy due to the lack of relevant market activity. See Note 3, Business Combinations, for more information. Fair value disclosure for deferred compensation plan investments is included in Note 10, Employee and Non-Employee Benefit Plans. Equity Method Investments. The Company holds 50 percent interests in DGL Destiladores, S.de R.L. de C.V. (“DGL”) and Agricola LG, S.de R.L. de C.V. (“Agricola” and together with DGL, “LMX”), which are accounted for as equity method investments and are considered affiliates of the Company. The investment in LMX, which is recorded in investment in joint ventures on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $5,343 and $5,534 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a gain of $388 and a loss of $856, respectively, from its equity method investments, and during the year to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a loss of $191 and $1,036, respectively, which is recorded in other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023, the Company purchased $10,223 and $30,178, respectively, of finished goods from LMX and bulk beverage alcohol from the other 50 percent owner of DGL. During the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022, the Company purchased $8,265 and $28,194, respectively, of finished goods from LMX and bulk beverage alcohol from the other 50 percent owner of DGL. Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Updates. The Company did not adopt any new Accounting Standard Updates during the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
