Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Matrix Service Company (“Matrix” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company operates in the United States, Canada, South Korea and Australia. The Company’s reportable segments are Electrical Infrastructure, Oil Gas & Chemical, Storage Solutions and Industrial. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe the most significant estimates and judgments are associated with revenue recognition, the recoverability tests that must be periodically performed with respect to our goodwill and other intangible assets, valuation reserves on our accounts receivable and deferred tax assets, and the estimation of loss contingencies, including liabilities associated with litigation and with the self-insured retentions on our insurance programs. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition Matrix records revenue on fixed-price contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis, primarily based on costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated contract cost. The Company records revenue on reimbursable and time and material contracts on a proportional performance basis as costs are incurred. Contracts in process are valued at cost plus accrued profits less billings on uncompleted contracts. Contracts are generally considered substantially complete when field construction is completed. The elapsed time from award of a contract to completion of performance may be in excess of one year. Matrix includes pass-through revenue and costs on cost-plus contracts, which are customer-reimbursable materials, equipment and subcontractor costs, when Matrix determines that it is responsible for the procurement and management of such cost components. Matrix has numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion which require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. The Company has a history of making reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenues and contract costs, and accordingly, does not believe significant fluctuations are likely to materialize. However, current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available. If estimates of costs to complete fixed-price contracts indicate a loss, provision is made through a contract write-down for the total loss anticipated. A number of our contracts contain various cost and performance incentives and penalties that impact the earnings we realize from our contracts, and adjustments related to these incentives and penalties are recorded in the period, on a percentage-of-completion basis, when estimable and probable. Indirect costs, such as salaries and benefits, supplies and tools, equipment costs and insurance costs, are charged to projects based upon direct labor hours and overhead allocation rates per direct labor hour. Warranty costs are normally incurred prior to project completion and are charged to project costs as they are incurred. Warranty costs incurred subsequent to project completion were not material for the periods presented. Overhead allocation rates are established annually during the budgeting process. Precontract Costs Precontract costs are costs incurred in anticipation of obtaining a contract that will result in no future benefit unless the contract is obtained. The Company generally expenses precontract costs to cost of revenue as incurred, but, in certain cases their recognition may be deferred if specific criteria are met. We had no deferred precontract costs at June 30, 2016 or 2015. Change Orders and Claims Recognition Change orders are modifications of an original contract that effectively change the existing provisions of the contract. Change orders may include changes in specifications or designs, manner of performance, facilities, equipment, materials, sites and period of completion of the work. Matrix or our clients may initiate change orders. The client's agreement to the terms of change orders is, in many cases, reached prior to work commencing; however, sometimes circumstances require that work progress prior to obtaining client agreement. Costs related to change orders are recognized as incurred. Revenues attributable to change orders that are unapproved as to price or scope are recognized to the extent that costs have been incurred if the amounts can be reliably estimated and their realization is probable. Revenues in excess of the costs attributable to change orders that are unapproved as to price or scope are recognized only when realization is assured beyond a reasonable doubt. Change orders that are unapproved as to both price and scope are evaluated as claims. Claims are amounts in excess of the agreed contract price that we seek to collect from customers or others for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price or other causes of anticipated additional costs incurred by us. Recognition of amounts as additional contract revenue related to claims is appropriate only if it is probable that the claims will result in additional contract revenue and if the amount can be reliably estimated. We must determine if:
• | there is a legal basis for the claim;
• | the additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen by the Company and are not the result of deficiencies in our performance;
• | the costs are identifiable or determinable and are reasonable in view of the work performed; and
• | the evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable.
If all of these requirements are met, revenue from a claim is recorded only to the extent that we have incurred costs relating to the claim. Unapproved change orders and claims are more fully discussed in Note 7—Contingencies. Cash Equivalents The Company includes as cash equivalents all investments with original maturities of three months or less which are readily convertible into cash. The Company had approximately $0.3 million of restricted cash related to a customer deposit at June 30, 2016 and $0.3 million of restricted cash at June 30, 2015. We have cash on deposit at June 30, 2016 with banks in the United States, Canada and South Korea in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation ("CDIC") and Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation ("KDIC") insurance limits, respectively. We also have cash on deposit at June 30, 2016 with a bank in Australia that is not eligible for Financial Claims Scheme ("FSC") protection since those funds are in U.S. Dollars; other funds held by the Company in Australia were eligible for FSC protection and were within its protection limits. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are carried on a gross basis, less the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company’s customers consist primarily of major integrated oil companies, steel companies, independent refiners and marketers, power companies, petrochemical companies, pipeline companies, mining companies, contractors and engineering firms. The Company is exposed to the risk of individual customer defaults or depressed cycles in our customers’ industries. To mitigate this risk many of our contracts require payment as projects progress or advance payment in some circumstances. In addition, in most cases the Company can place liens against the property, plant or equipment constructed or terminate the contract if a material contract default occurs. Management estimates the allowance for uncollectible accounts based on existing economic conditions, the financial condition of its customers and the amount and age of past due accounts. Accounts are written off against the allowance for uncollectible accounts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. Retentions Contract retentions collectible beyond one year are included in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounts payable retentions are generally settled within one year. Loss Contingencies Various legal actions, claims and other contingencies arise in the normal course of our business. Contingencies are recorded in the consolidated financial statements, or are otherwise disclosed, in accordance with ASC 450-20, “Loss Contingencies”. Specific reserves are provided for loss contingencies to the extent we conclude that a loss is both probable and estimable. We use a case-by-case evaluation of the underlying data and update our evaluation as further information becomes known. We believe that any amounts exceeding our recorded accruals should not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the results of litigation are inherently unpredictable and the possibility exists that the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters could result in a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Inventories Inventories consist primarily of steel plate and pipe and aluminum coil and extrusions. Cost is determined primarily using the average cost method and inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Depreciation Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. Depreciable lives are as follows: buildings—40 years, construction equipment—3 to 15 years, transportation equipment—3 to 5 years, and office equipment and software—3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets used in operations may not be recoverable. The determination of whether an impairment has occurred is based on management’s estimate of undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets as compared to the carrying value of the assets. If an impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment recognized is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and, to the extent the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets, recording a loss provision. For assets identified to be disposed of in the future, the carrying value of the assets are compared to the estimated fair value less the cost of disposal to determine if an impairment has occurred. Until the assets are disposed of, an estimate of the fair value is redetermined when related events or circumstances change. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the acquisition date fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with current accounting guidance, goodwill is not amortized and is tested at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level. We perform our annual analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and in any other period in which indicators of impairment warrant additional analysis. Goodwill impairment reviews involve a two-step process. Goodwill is first evaluated for impairment by comparing management’s estimate of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. Management utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis, referred to as an income approach, to determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units. Significant judgments and assumptions including the discount rate, anticipated revenue growth rate and gross margins, estimated operating and interest expense, and capital expenditures are inherent in these fair value estimates, which are based on our operating and capital budgets and on our strategic plan. As a result, actual results may differ from the estimates utilized in our income approach. The use of alternate judgments and/or assumptions could result in a fair value that differs from our estimate and could result in the recognition of an impairment charge in the financial statements. As a result of these uncertainties, we utilize multiple scenarios and assign probabilities to each of the scenarios in the income approach. We also consider indications obtained from market-based approaches. We compare market multiples derived from market prices of stock of companies that are engaged in a similar line of business to the corresponding measures of the Company. We also consider the combined carrying values of our reporting units to our market capitalization. If the carrying value of our reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill calculated in the same manner as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value, we would record an impairment charge for the difference. Other Intangible Assets Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized by the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from 1.5 years to 15 years. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment. Each reporting period, we evaluate the remaining useful lives of intangible assets not being amortized to determine whether facts and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Intangible assets are considered impaired if the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its net book value. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair values of the intangible assets are based on present values of expected future cash flows or royalties avoided using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. Insurance Reserves We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our operations. However, we retain exposure to potential losses through the use of deductibles, coverage limits and self-insured retentions. We establish reserves for claims using a combination of actuarially determined estimates and case-by-case evaluations of the underlying claim data and update our evaluations as further information becomes known. Judgments and assumptions are inherent in our reserve accruals; as a result, changes in assumptions or claims experience could result in changes to these estimates in the future. If actual results of claim settlements are different than the amounts estimated we may be exposed to future gains and losses that could be material. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has issued stock options and nonvested deferred share awards under its long-term incentive compensation plans. The fair value of these awards is calculated at grant date. The fair value of time-based, nonvested deferred shares is the value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. The fair value of market-based nonvested deferred shares is based on several factors, including the probability that the market condition specified in the grant will be achieved. The fair value of stock options is determined based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For all stock-based awards, expense is recognized over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. Income Taxes We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances based on our judgments and estimates are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized in future operating results. Company management believes that realization of deferred tax assets in excess of the valuation allowance is more likely than not. Our estimates are based on facts and circumstances in existence as well as interpretations of existing tax regulations and laws applied to the facts and circumstances, with the help of professional tax advisors. Therefore, we estimate and provide for amounts of additional income taxes that may be assessed by the various taxing authorities. Foreign Currency The functional currencies of the Company’s operations in Canada, South Korea and Australia are the Canadian Dollar, South Korean Won and U.S. Dollar, respectively. For subsidiaries with operations using a foreign functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated at the year end exchange rates and the income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates throughout the year. Translation gains and losses are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Transaction gains and losses are reported as a component of Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” The ASU also requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information that enables users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The ASU's disclosure requirements are significantly more comprehensive than those in existing revenue standards. The ASU applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted on a limited basis. Upon adoption, the Company may elect one of two application methods, a full retrospective application or a modified retrospective application. We expect to adopt this standard on July 1, 2018 and are currently evaluating its expected impact on our financial statements. Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements. Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” The FASB believes that requiring management to perform the assessment will enhance the timeliness, clarity, and consistency of related disclosures and improve convergence with international financial reporting standards ("IFRSs") (which emphasize management’s responsibility for performing the going-concern assessment). However, the time horizon for the assessment (look-forward period) and the disclosure thresholds under U.S. GAAP and IFRSs will continue to differ. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter; early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt this standard in fiscal 2017. Accounting Standards Update 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments On September 25, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16 to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments. The ASU was issued in response to stakeholder feedback that restatements of prior periods to reflect adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination increase the cost and complexity of financial reporting but do not significantly improve the usefulness of the information. Under the ASU, an acquirer must recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The ASU also requires acquirers to present separately on the face of the income statement, or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard on July 1, 2016 with no material impact to the Company's financial statements. Accounting Standards Update 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes On November 20, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, which requires entities to present deferred tax assets ("DTAs") and deferred tax liabilities ("DTLs") as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The ASU simplifies the current guidance, which requires entities to separately present DTAs and DTLs as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet based on the classification of the related asset or liability. For public business entities, the ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to retrospectively early adopt ASU 2015-17, effective for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The quantitative effects of the change on the prior balance sheet presented, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, resulted in a net reclassification of $6.6 million and $6.6 million from the "Deferred income taxes" current asset and liability financial statement line items, respectively, to the "Deferred income taxes" asset and liability financial statement line items included in the noncurrent asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02. The amendments in this update require, among other things, that lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating its expected impact on our financial statements. Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, which simplified several aspects of accounting for stock-based compensation transactions, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements. The ASU is effective for the Company on July 1, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is planning to adopt the ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, with no material impacts expected. The following is a description of the key provisions of the ASU and its transition requirements: Accounting for Income Taxes: The amendments require the Company to recognize excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies in its provision for income taxes in its consolidated statements of income during the period of vesting or exercise of its nonvested deferred share awards and stock options, respectively, for which it expects to receive an income tax deduction. Currently, the Company recognizes any excess tax benefits in additional paid-in capital ("APIC") in the balance sheet and any tax deficiencies are recognized as a reduction of APIC to the extent the Company has accumulated excess tax benefits. Any tax deficiencies in excess of accumulated excess tax benefits in APIC are recognized in the provision for income taxes. The amendments also require the Company to only present excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the operating section of its statements of cash flows. Currently, the Company is required to present such items in both the financing section and operating section of its statements of cash flows. Amendments to the presentation of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the statements of cash flows may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. Amendments requiring the recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in income are to be applied prospectively. The Company is required to apply the amendments for accumulated excess tax benefits on a modified retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. The balance of accumulated excess tax benefits included in APIC was $9.8 million as of June 30, 2016. Accounting for Forfeitures: The Company currently recognizes expense on all stock-based awards over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures. The amendments in this ASU allow the Company to elect, as a company-wide accounting policy, either to continue to estimate the amount of forfeitures to exclude from compensation expense or to exclude forfeitures from compensation expense when they occur. The Company is planning to account for forfeitures when they occur when it adopts the amendments in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company will apply the accounting change on a modified retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have a material impact to its financial statements. Statutory Tax Withholding Requirements: Currently, an entire award must be classified as a liability if the fair value of the shares withheld exceeds the Company's minimum statutory withholding obligation. Under the ASU, the Company will be allowed to withhold shares with a fair value up to the amount of tax owed using the maximum statutory tax rate in the employee's applicable jurisdictions. The Company will be allowed to determine one maximum rate for all employees in each jurisdiction, rather than a rate for each employee in the jurisdiction. Also, the ASU requires that cash outflows to reacquire shares withheld for taxes to be classified in the financing section of its statements of cash flows. Since the Company does not have any awards classified as liabilities due to statutory tax withholding requirements as of June 30, 2016, and since the Company already presents its cash outflows for reacquiring shares withheld for taxes as a financing activity in its statements of cash flows, the Company does not expect these amendments to have any impact on its financial statements when adopted during the 1st quarter of fiscal 2017. Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which changes how the Company accounts for its allowance for uncolletible accounts. The amendments in this update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The income statement will reflect any increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. Current GAAP delays the recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss is probable of occurring. The amendments in this update eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, instead, reflect the Company's current estimate of all expected credit losses. In addition, current guidance limits the information the Company may consider in measuring a credit loss to its past events and current conditions. The amendments in this update broaden the information the Company may consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate to include forecasted information. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company on July 1, 2020 and the Company may early adopt on July 1, 2019. The Company must apply the amendments in this update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact to its estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts.
