Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Description of Business | Overview Stabilis Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Stabilis”, “our”, “us” or “we”) produce, market, and sell liquefied natural gas (“LNG”). The Company also resells liquefied natural gas from third parties and provides services, transportation, and equipment to customers.
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries and, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed on March 16, 2020. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidated. In the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), all dollar amounts in tabulations are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is required to make certain disclosures if it concludes that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has negative working capital. The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in the current LNG industry. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has created additional uncertainties regarding the future demand for LNG from our customers. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain itself or to support future growth. These factors were reviewed by management to determine if there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management concluded that its plan to address the Company’s liquidity issues would allow it to continue as a going concern. A number of cost control measures have been implemented, including headcount reductions, temporary salary reductions and other measures to adjust to anticipated activity levels and maintain adequate liquidity. Management concluded positive cash flows are attainable and are supported by the recent increase in utility and pipeline sales, the reduction of operating costs as a percent of sales, improved plant utilization, and the August 2019 cancellation of $7.0 million of Chart Industries indebtedness in exchange for Stabilis common stock. Accordingly, management believes the business will generate sufficient cash flows from its operations to fund the business for the next 12 months.
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates include the carrying amount of contingencies, valuation allowances for receivables, inventories, and deferred income tax assets, valuations assigned to assets and liabilities in business combinations, and impairments of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The new guidance simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendments of ASU No. 2017-04 were adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations, as the adoption is applied on a prospective basis. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, Income Taxes and also improves consistent application by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions of ASU 2020-04 are optional and are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
