Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date. Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. When necessary, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The Company believes that the disclosures made in these condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.
Principals of Consolidation | Principals of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Village Farms International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Other parties’ interests in entities that the Company consolidates are reported as non-controlling interests within equity, except for mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, which are recorded within mezzanine equity. Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is reported as a separate line item below net income or loss. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for its investments in entities for which it does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has the ability to exert significant influence. For equity investees in which the Company has an undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and profits or losses of an unconsolidated entity, but does not exercise control over the entity, the Company consolidates its proportional interest in the accounts of the entity.
Translations of Foreign Currencies | Translations of Foreign Currencies The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, with resulting translation gains or losses included within other comprehensive income or loss. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange during the applicable period. Substantially all of the Company’s foreign operations use their local currency as their functional currency. For foreign operations for which the local currency is not the functional currency, the operation’s non-monetary assets are remeasured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. All other accounts are remeasured at current exchange rates, with both gains or losses from remeasurement and currency gains or losses from transactions executed in currencies other than the functional currency included in foreign exchange (loss) gain. In these condensed consolidated financial statements, “$” means U.S. dollars and "C$" means Canadians dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Revision of Prior-Period Consolidated Financial Statements | Revision of Prior-Period Consolidated Financial Statements In connection with the preparation of our third quarter 2024 condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Company identified an immaterial misstatement in its estimate of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance as of the year ended December 31, 2023. As a result, we recorded a decrease to deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 and increase in income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 for $3,000, which decreased total assets and retained earnings as of December 31, 2023 and increased our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 by $3,000. Our revision had no impact to the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. Additionally, our revision had no impact to the Company’s segment profit measure, compliance with debt covenants, or performance metrics used in the calculation of executive compensation as the impacted line items are excluded from these calculations. We evaluated the materiality of the impact quantitatively and qualitatively and concluded it was not material to any of the prior periods.
General Economic, Regulatory and Market Conditions | General Economic, Regulatory and Market Conditions The Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, direct and indirect negative effects on its business and operations from negative economic, regulatory and market conditions, including inflationary effects on fuel prices, labor and materials costs, elevated interest rates, potential recessionary impacts and supply chain disruptions that could negatively affect demand for new projects and/or delay existing project timing or cause increased project costs. The extent to which general economic, regulatory and market conditions could affect the Company’s business, operations and financial results is uncertain as it will depend upon numerous evolving factors that management may not be able to accurately predict, and, therefore, any future impacts on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations cannot be quantified or predicted with specificity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements No accounting pronouncements recently issued or newly effective have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
