Basis of Presentation
 
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Northwest Pipe Company (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control as of the financial statement date. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
The Company operates in
one
business segment, Water Transmission, which produces steel pipeline systems, as well as reinforced concrete pipe and protective linings, primarily for use in drinking water infrastructure. These products are also used for hydroelectric power systems, wastewater systems, and other applications. In addition, the Company makes products for industrial plant piping systems and certain structural applications.
 
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in United States Dollars. The financial information as of
December 
31,
2018
is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 
10
-K for the year ended
December 
31,
2018
(the
“2018
Form 
10
-K”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in the Company’s
2018
Form 
10
-K.
 
Certain amounts from the prior year financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Operating results for the
three
months ended
March 
31,
2019
are
not
necessarily indicative of the results that
may
be expected for the entire fiscal year ending
December 
31,
2019.
 
The Company recorded revenue of
$1.2
million during the
three
and
twelve
months ended
December 31, 2018,
which should have been recorded in the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019. 
The misstatement in the timing of revenue recognition was due to an error in the measurement of costs incurred to date relative to estimated total direct costs at a recently acquired Ameron Water Transmission Group, LLC (“Ameron”) facility. Management concluded that this out of period adjustment was
not
material to the consolidated financial results for the year ended
December 31, 2018
or to the projected financial results for
2019.
