SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Consolidation and Presentation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Marine Products Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Marine Products” or the “Company”). The consolidated financial statements included herein may not necessarily be indicative of the future results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Marine Products. The Company has only one reportable segment — its Powerboat Manufacturing business. The Company’s results of operations and its financial condition are not significantly reliant upon any single customer or product model. No single dealer accounted for more than 10 percent of net sales during 2019, 2018 or 2017. Net sales to the Company’s international dealers were approximately $17.0 million in 2019, $19.4 million in 2018, and $16.9 million in 2017. Common Stock — Marine Products is authorized to issue 74,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.10 par value. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors out of legally available funds. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of common stock are entitled to ratable distribution of the remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders. Preferred Stock — Marine Products is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.10 par value. As of December 31, 2019, there were no shares of preferred stock issued. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to provide for the issuance of preferred stock as a class without series or, if so determined from time to time, in one or more series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable laws of the state of Delaware and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights, exchangeability for shares of any other class or classes of stock. Any preferred stock to be issued could rank prior to the common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation. Share Repurchases — The Company records the cost of share repurchases in stockholders’ equity as a reduction to common stock to the extent of par value of the shares acquired and the remainder is allocated to capital in excess of par value and retained earnings if capital in excess of par value is depleted. The Company tracks capital in excess of par value on a cumulative basis and for each reporting period, discloses the excess over capital in excess of par value as part of stock purchased and retired in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Dividend — On January 28, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.12 per share payable March 10, 2020 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 10, 2020. Subject to industry conditions and Marine Products’ earnings, financial condition, and other relevant factors, the Company expects to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends to common stockholders. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are used in the determination of sales incentives and discounts, warranty costs, and income taxes. Sales Recognition – Marine Products recognizes revenues from contracts with its customers based on the amount of consideration it receives in exchange for the goods sold. See Note 2 for additional information. Advertising — Advertising expenses are charged to expense during the period in which they are incurred. Expenses associated with product brochures and other inventoriable marketing materials are deferred and amortized over the related model year which approximates the consumption of these materials. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had approximately $269,000 and $243,000 in prepaid expenses related to unamortized product brochure costs. Advertising expenses totaled approximately $2,543,000 in 2019, $2,468,000 in 2018 and $2,305,000 in 2017 and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Cash and Cash Equivalents — Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Marketable Securities — During the first quarter of 2019, the Company changed its investment strategy and as of December 31, 2019, no longer held investments in marketable securities. Prior to 2019, Marine Products maintained investments at a large, well-capitalized financial institution. Marine Products’ investment policy did not allow investment in any securities rated less than “investment grade” by national rating services. Management determined the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designations as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities were classified as available-for-sale because the Company did not have the intent to hold the securities to maturity. Available-for-sale securities are stated at their fair values, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses, declines in value judged to be other than temporary, interest and dividends on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income. Net realized gains (losses) on marketable securities totaled $4,000 in 2019, $(81,000) in 2018 and $30,000 in 2017. Of the total (losses) gains realized, reclassification from other comprehensive income totaled approximately $4,000 in 2019, $(81,000) in 2018, and $30,000 in 2017. There were no gross unrealized gains on marketable securities as of December 31, 2019 and gross unrealized gains totaled $3,000 as of December 31, 2018. There were no gross unrealized losses on marketable securities as of December 31, 2019 and gross unrealized losses totaled $12,000 as of December 31, 2018. The net unrealized loss on marketable securities totaled $9,000 as of December 31, 2018. The amortized cost basis, fair value and net unrealized loss of the available-for-sale securities are as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
December 31, | ​ | 2019 | ​ | 2018

(in thousands) |  | ​ |  |  | ​ |  |  | ​ |  |  | ​ |  |  | ​ |  |  | ​ |
Municipal Obligations | ​ | $ | — | ​ | $ | — | ​ | $ | — | ​ | $ | 1,490 | ​ | $ | 1,490 | ​ | $ | —
Corporate Obligations | ​ |  | — | ​ |  | — | ​ |  | — | ​ |  | 6,184 | ​ |  | 6,175 | ​ |  | (9)
Total | ​ | $ | — | ​ | $ | — | ​ | $ | — | ​ | $ | 7,674 | ​ | $ | 7,665 | ​ | $ | (9)
​ Municipal obligations consisted primarily of municipal notes rated AA- or higher ranging in maturity from less than one year to over 20 years. Corporate obligations consisted primarily of debentures and notes issued by other companies ranging in maturity from one to five years. These securities were rated BBB or higher. Investments with remaining maturities of less than 12 months are considered current marketable securities. Investments with remaining maturities greater than 12 months are considered non-current marketable securities. Accounts Receivable — The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from dealers located in markets throughout the United States. Approximately 64 percent of Marine Products’ domestic shipments are made pursuant to “floor plan financing” programs in which Marine Products’ subsidiaries participate on behalf of their dealers with various major third-party financing institutions. Under these arrangements, a dealer establishes lines of credit with one or more of these third-party lenders for the purchase of boat inventory for sales to retail customers in their show room or during boat show exhibitions. When a dealer purchases and takes delivery of a boat pursuant to a floor plan financing arrangement, it draws against its line of credit and the lender pays the invoice cost of the boat directly to Marine Products within approximately ten business days. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance. Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) and net realizable value. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the Company recognizes the difference as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation is provided principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the year of disposal with the resulting gain or loss credited or charged to income. Expenditures for additions, major renewals, and betterments are capitalized while expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense on operating equipment used in production is included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All other depreciation is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. Goodwill and Other Intangibles — Intangibles consist primarily of goodwill and trade names related to businesses acquired. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. The carrying amount of goodwill was $3,308,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company evaluates whether goodwill is impaired by comparing its market capitalization based on its closing stock price (Level 1 input) to the book value of its equity on the annual evaluation date. The Company also periodically performs a valuation of its trade names and has concluded that the fair value of these assets is not impaired. Based on these evaluations, the Company concluded that no impairment of its goodwill or trade names has occurred for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. Investments — The Company maintains certain securities in the non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan that have been classified as trading. See Note 11 for further information regarding these securities. Warranty Costs — The Company provides a lifetime limited structural hull warranty, a five-year limited structural deck warranty, and a transferable one-year limited warranty to the original owner. Warranties for additional items are provided for periods of one to five years and are not transferrable. Additionally, as it relates to the first subsequent owner, a five-year transferrable hull warranty and the remainder of the original one-year limited warranty on certain components are available. The five-year transferable hull warranty terminates five years after the date of the original retail purchase. Claim costs related to components are generally absorbed by the original component manufacturer. The Company accrues for estimated future warranty costs at the time of the sale based on its historical claims experience. An analysis of the warranty accruals for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(in thousands) |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Balance at beginning of year | ​ | $ | 5,607 | ​ | $ | 5,373
Less: Payments made during the year | ​ |  | (4,004) | ​ |  | (3,944)
Add: Warranty provision for the current year | ​ |  | 3,788 | ​ |  | 3,901
Changes to warranty provision for prior years | ​ |  | 19 | ​ |  | 277
Balance at end of year | ​ | $ | 5,410 | ​ | $ | 5,607
​ Insurance Accruals — The Company fully insures its risks related to general liability, product liability, workers’ compensation, and vehicle liability, whereas the health insurance plan is self-funded up to a maximum annual claim amount for each covered employee and related dependents. The estimated cost of claims under the self-insurance program is accrued as the claims are incurred and may subsequently be revised based on developments relating to such claims. Research and Development Costs — The Company expenses research and development costs for new products and components as incurred. Research and development costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled $730,000 in 2019, $822,000 in 2018, and $960,000 in 2017. Repurchase Obligations — The Company has entered into agreements with third-party floor plan lenders where it has agreed, in the event of default by the dealer, to repurchase MPC boats repossessed from the dealer. These arrangements are subject to maximum repurchase amounts and the associated risk is mitigated by the value of the boats repurchased. The Company accrues estimated losses when a loss, due primarily to the default of one of our dealers, is determined to be probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Income Taxes — Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance against the carrying value of deferred tax assets if the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized through future taxable income. In 2017, the Company revalued its deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the change in Federal income tax rates from 35 percent to 21 percent, as enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Stock-Based Compensation — Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payment awards, net of an estimated forfeiture rate. Thus, compensation cost is amortized for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. See Note 11 for additional information. Earnings per Share — Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. In addition, the Company has periodically issued share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore considered participating securities. See Note 11 for further information on restricted stock granted to employees. Restricted shares of common stock (participating securities) outstanding and a reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding is as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(In thousands) |  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017
Net income available for stockholders | ​ | $ | 28,239 | ​ | $ | 28,488 | ​ | $ | 19,300
Less: Adjustments for earnings attributable to participating securities | ​ |  | (669) | ​ |  | (762) | ​ |  | (595)
Net income used in calculating earnings per share | ​ | $ | 27,570 | ​ | $ | 27,726 | ​ | $ | 18,705
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Weighted average shares outstanding (including participating securities) | ​ |  | 34,061 | ​ |  | 34,529 | ​ |  | 34,843
Adjustment for participating securities | ​ |  | (831) | ​ |  | (959) | ​ |  | (1,091)
Shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share | ​ |  | 33,230 | ​ |  | 33,570 | ​ |  | 33,752
​ Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and marketable securities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of such instruments. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities with the exception of investments held in the non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) which are classified as trading securities. All of these securities are carried at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9 for further information regarding the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities. Concentration of Suppliers — The Company has only four suppliers for the three types of engines it purchases. This concentration of suppliers could impact our sales and profitability in the event of a sudden interruption in the delivery of these engines. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - During the year ended December 31, 2019, the FASB issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs): Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:
| ● | Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The Company adopted ASC 842, Leases and all the related amendments (“new lease standard”) on January 1, 2019 by recognizing on its balance sheet, a right-of-use asset and lease liabilities each totaling approximately $200 thousand, for all of its leases with terms greater than 12 months. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method with no cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards that were in effect for those periods. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 13: Leases in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for expanded disclosures.
| ● | ASU No. 2017-08 —Receivables —Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments are to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company changed its investment strategy in the first quarter of 2019 and no longer holds investments in callable debt securities. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2019 and adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
| ● | ASU No. 2018-02—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments provide an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within AOCI to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recorded. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2019 and elected to reclassify approximately $414 thousand of stranded tax effects related to its pension plan and unrealized gain on its available-for-sale debt securities from AOCI to retained earnings.
| ● | ASU No. 2018-07 —Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718) —Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments expand the scope of ASU 718 to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services, thereby substantially aligning the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees. The Company adopted these provisions in the first quarter of 2019 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted: To be adopted in 2020 and later:
| ● | ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU introduced a new accounting model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model (CECL), which requires earlier recognition of credit losses and additional disclosures related to credit risk. The CECL model utilizes a lifetime expected credit loss measurement objective for recognition. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime. The Company adopted the provisions of the standard in the first quarter of 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
| ● | ASU No. 2017-04 —Intangibles —Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company adopted these provisions in the first quarter of 2020, on a prospective basis.
| ● | ASU No. 2018-15 —Intangibles —Goodwill and Other —Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments reduce the complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs that are incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted these provisions in the first quarter of 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
| ● | ASU No. 2019-12 — Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing the exceptions to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation in certain situations, requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for a change in the status of a foreign investment, and the general methodology for computing income taxes in an interim period when year-to date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The amendments also simplify the accounting for income taxes with regard to franchise tax, evaluation of step up in the tax basis goodwill in certain business combinations, allocating current and deferred tax expense to legal entities that are not subject to tax and enacted change in tax laws or rates. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated financial statements.
