Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | 3. Revenue & Receivables Revenue Recognition: Performance obligations The Company has contracts with customers for standard products and custom engineered products and determines when and how to recognize revenue for each performance obligation based on the nature and type of contract. Revenue from contracts with customers for standard products is recognized when legal title and significant risk and rewards has transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. This is the point in time when control is deemed to transfer to the customer. The Company sells standard products to customers utilizing purchase orders. Payment terms for these types of contracts generally require payment within 30-60 days. Each standard product is deemed to be a single performance obligation and the amount of revenue recognized is based on the negotiated price. The transaction price for standard products is based on the price reflected in each purchase order. Sales incentives are offered to customers who purchase standard products and include offers such as volume-based discounts, rebates for priority customers, and discounts for early cash payments. These sales incentives are accounted for as variable consideration included in the transaction price. Accordingly, the Company reduces revenue for these incentives in the period which the sale occurs and is based on the most likely amount method for estimating the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive. These sales incentive estimates are updated each reporting period as additional information becomes available. The Company also sells custom engineered products and services which are contracts that are typically completed within one quarter but can extend beyond one year in duration. For custom engineered products, the transaction price is based upon the price stated in the contract. Variable consideration has not been identified as a significant component of transaction price for custom engineered products and services. The Company generally recognizes revenue for custom engineered products upon satisfaction of its performance obligation under the contract which typically coincides with project completion which is when the products and services are controlled by the customer. Control is typically achieved at the later of when legal title and significant risk and rewards have transferred to the customer or the customer has accepted the asset. These contracts often require either up front or installment payments. These types of contracts are generally accounted for as one performance obligation as the products and services are not separately identifiable. The promised services (such as inspection, commissioning, and installation) are essential in order for the delivered product to operate as intended on the customer’s site and the services are therefore highly interrelated with product functionality. For most custom engineered products contracts, the Company determined that while there is no alternative use for the custom engineered products, the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment (which must include a reasonable profit margin) for performance completed to date in order to meet the over time revenue recognition criteria. Therefore, revenue is recognized at a point in time (when the contract is complete). For custom engineered products contracts that contain an enforceable right to payment (including reasonable profit margin) the Company satisfies the performance obligation over time and recognizes revenue based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The cost-to-cost measure of progress is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of work performed and transfer of control to the customers. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress toward completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues are recognized proportionally as costs are incurred. Sales and other taxes collected with revenue are excluded from revenue, consistent with the previous revenue standard. Shipping and handling costs incurred prior to shipment are considered activities required to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer goods, and do not qualify as a separate performance obligation. Additionally, the Company offers standard warranties which are typically 12 months in duration for standard products and 24 to 36 months for custom engineered products. These types of warranties are included in the purchase price of the product and are deemed to be assurance-type warranties which are not accounted for as a separate performance obligation. Other performance obligations included in a contract (such as drawings, owner’s manuals, and training services) are immaterial in the context of the contract and are not recognized as a separate performance obligation. For additional information on the Company’s revenue recognition policy refer to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2020 10-K. Reconciliation of contract balances The Company records a contract liability when cash is received prior to recording revenue. Some standard contracts require a down payment while most custom engineered contracts require installment payments. Installment payments for the custom engineered contracts typically require a portion due at inception while the remaining payments are due upon completion of certain performance milestones. For both types of contracts, these contract liabilities, referred to as customer advances, are recorded at the time payment is received and are included in Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the related performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized, the contract liability is released into income. The following table illustrates the balance and related activity for customer advances in the nine months ending December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):
Customer advances (contract liabilities) | December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019
March 31, beginning balance | $ | 10,796 |  | $ | 11,501 |
Additional customer advances received | 28,411 |  | 26,745 |
Revenue recognized from customer advances | (24,636) |  | (25,773) |
Other (1) | 1,187 |  | 27 |
December 31, ending balance | $ | 15,758 |  | $ | 12,500 |
(1) Other includes the impact of foreign currency translation During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, revenue was recognized prior to the right to invoice the customer which resulted in a contract asset balance in the amount of $4,860,000 and $2,361,000 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Contract assets are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Remaining Performance Obligations As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) was approximately $8,193,000. We expect to recognize approximately 90% of these sales over the next twelve months. Disaggregated revenue In accordance with ASC 606, the Company is required to disaggregate revenue into categories that depict how economic factors affect the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. The following table illustrates the disaggregation of revenue by product grouping for the three and nine months ending December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
Net Sales by Product Grouping | December 31, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019 |  | December 31, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Industrial Products | $ | 71,090 |  |  | $ | 84,067 |  |  | $ | 192,127 |  |  | $ | 267,459 |
Crane Solutions | 75,970 |  |  | 92,134 |  |  | $ | 216,602 |  |  | $ | 287,374 |
Engineered Products | 19,454 |  |  | 23,134 |  |  | $ | 54,611 |  |  | $ | 64,795 |
All other | 33 |  |  | 20 |  |  | $ | 67 |  |  | $ | 48 |
Total | $ | 166,547 |  |  | $ | 199,355 |  |  | $ | 463,407 |  |  | $ | 619,676 |
Industrial products include: manual chain hoists, electrical chain hoists, rigging/ clamps, industrial winches, hooks, shackles, and other forged attachments. Crane solutions products include: wire rope hoists, drives and controls, crane kits and components, and workstations. Engineered products include: linear and mechanical actuators, lifting tables, rail projects, and actuations systems. The All other product grouping includes miscellaneous revenue. Practical expedients Incremental costs to obtain a contract incurred by the Company primarily relate to sales commissions for contracts with a duration of one year or less. Therefore, these costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded in Selling expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an expected length of one year or less are not disclosed. Further, revenue from contracts with customers do not include a significant financing component as payment is generally expected within one year from when the performance obligation is controlled by the customer. Accounts Receivable: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). The standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2020 under the modified retrospective method whereas comparative period information is not restated. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, therefore no cumulative effect or catch up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was recorded. Additionally, the Company identified and implemented appropriate changes to it's allowance for doubtful accounts policy and internal controls to support reporting and disclosures. Under ASU 2016-13, the Company is required to remeasure expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. In addition to these factors, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other factors. Accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once all collection efforts have been exhausted. Due to the short-term nature of such accounts receivable, the estimated amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances. In response to COVID-19, the Company continues to monitor the impact that COVID-19 is having on our customers and their outstanding receivable balances and is taking preventative measures, such as reducing credit limits and increasing bad debt expense, as necessary. The following table illustrates the balance and related activity for the allowance for doubtful accounts that is deducted from accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected in the nine months ending December 31, 2020 (in thousands):
Allowance for doubtful accounts | December 31, 2020
March 31, beginning balance | $ | 5,056 |
Bad debt expense | 2,512 |
Less uncollectible accounts written off, net of recoveries | (1,405) |
Other (1) | 284 |
December 31, ending balance | $ | 6,447 |
