Marketable Securities [Abstract] |
Marketable Securities and Other Investments | Marketable Securities and Other Investments In accordance with ASU 2016-01 "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of account) are measured at fair value through earnings. The Company's marketable securities are recorded at their fair value, with unrealized changes in market value realized within Investment (income) loss, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impact on earnings for unrealized gains and losses was a gain of $317,000, and losses of $296,000 and $370,000 in fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Consistent with prior periods, the estimated fair value is based on quoted prices at the balance sheet dates. The cost of securities is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividend income are included in Investment (income) loss, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Marketable securities are carried as long-term assets since they are held for the settlement of the Company’s general and products liability insurance claims filed through CM Insurance Company, Inc. ("CMIC"), a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary. The marketable securities are not available for general working capital purposes. Net realized gains related to sales of marketable securities were $212,000 in fiscal 2024 and were not material in fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included in Investment (income) loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company owns a 49% ownership interest in Eastern Morris Cranes Company Limited ("EMC"), a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws and regulations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Company's ownership represents an equity investment in a strategic customer of STAHL serving the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The investment's carrying value is presented in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in the amount of $3,377,000 and $2,752,000 as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, and has been accounted for as an equity method investment. The investment value was increased for the Company's ownership percentage of income earned by EMC in the amount of $890,000 and $365,000 in the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, and is recorded in Investment (income) loss, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Additionally, the investment value decreased in the amount of $18,000 and $67,000 due to the effect of currency translation in the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Further, in the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, EMC distributed cash dividends which the Company received 49% of pursuant to its ownership interest. The investment value was decreased for the Company's share of EMC's cash dividend in the amount of $247,000 and $313,000 in the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, as they were determined to be a return of the Company's investment. Dividends are included in investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the amount of $144,000 and $313,000 in the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, as the distribution exceeded cumulative equity in earnings, under the cumulative earnings approach. The balance of the cash dividend is included in operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows under the cumulative earnings approach. The March 31, 2024 and 2023 trade accounts receivable balances due from EMC are $10,300,000 and $5,083,000, respectively, and are comprised of amounts due for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of business.
