BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business Stabilis Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “Stabilis”, “our”, “us” or “we”) is an energy transition company that provides turnkey clean energy production, storage, transportation and fueling solutions primarily using liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) to multiple end markets across North America. The Company provides LNG solutions to customers in diverse end markets, including aerospace, agriculture, energy, industrial, marine bunkering, mining, pipeline, remote power and utility markets. LNG can be used to deliver natural gas to locations where pipeline service is not available, has been interrupted, or needs to be supplemented. Additionally, LNG can be used as a partner fuel for renewable energy, and as an alternative to traditional fuel sources, such as distillate fuel oil (including diesel fuel and other fuel oils) and propane, among others to provide both environmental and economic benefits. Stabilis operates two LNG production facilities in George West, Texas and Port Allen, Louisiana to service customers in Texas and the greater Gulf Coast region. The Company also builds power and control systems for the energy industry in China through its 40% owned Chinese joint venture, BOMAY Electric Industries, Inc (“BOMAY”). The BOMAY joint venture is accounted as an equity investment. The Company previously provided electrical switch-gear, generator and instrumentation construction, installation and service to the marine, power generation, oil and gas, and broad industrial market segments in Brazil. At September 30, 2022, the Company agreed to exit its operations in Brazil (the "Brazil Operations") and on October 31, 2022, the Company entered into a sales agreement and closed on the sale of its Brazil Operations to the general manager of the Brazil Operations for approximately $0.9 million consisting of a cash payment of $0.2 million and a note receivable due in annual installments of $0.1 million, $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million over the next four years. The Company has presented the Brazil Operations as discontinued operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles within the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company did not record a gain or loss on the sale due to the impairment loss recorded during the year in discontinued operations. See also Note 2 for a further discussion of our discontinued operations. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements ("Consolidated Financial Statements") include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries and, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Discontinued Operations The Company believes that the sale of the Brazil Operations meets the criteria for discontinued operations presentation at December 31, 2022. Accordingly, such assets and liabilities at December 31, 2022, results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 have been classified as discontinued operations on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively. The classification of these assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations requires retrospective application to financial information for all prior periods presented. Therefore, such assets and liabilities at December 31, 2021, and operating results and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 have been recast on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively. Unless otherwise noted, the amounts presented throughout the notes to our Financial Statements relate to our continuing operations. See Note 2 for further discussion of the Company's discontinued operations. Reclassifications The Company reclassified $1.9 million from selling, general and administrative expenses to costs of revenues and other within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the consolidated financial position, income from operations, net income (loss) or cash flows. See Note 3 for a disaggregation of revenues as the Company presents revenues and cost of revenues in aggregate on its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements The preparation of the 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 asset acquisitions, and impairments of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements. (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist principally of money market accounts held with major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its deposits of cash and cash equivalents in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. (c) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recognized when products are sold. The Company extends credit to many of its customers in the ordinary course of business. Generally, these sales are unsecured. Accounts receivable are stated at cost, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses where there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.2 million for both December 31, 2022 and 2021. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. (d) Inventories LNG inventory consists of LNG produced that is either (1) in a storage container at our plants or (2) in a storage trailer that is in transit to a customer. Inventory quantities are measured at each reporting period and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. (e) Derivative Instruments The Company had certain natural gas derivative instruments as of December 31, 2022. The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies for and has been designated as a hedge and the type of hedge. The Company has not designated its derivative instruments as hedges under U.S. GAAP and all resulting gains and losses from changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments are included within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not enter into any derivative transactions for speculative purposes. See Note 5 for further discussion of the Company's derivatives. The Company enters into forward sales contracts for the delivery of LNG to its customers. Certain of these sales contracts contain provisions that may meet the criteria of a derivative in the event delivery is not made. These contracts are accounted for under the normal purchase normal sales exclusion under U.S. GAAP and are not measured at fair value each reporting period. (f) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Significant additions, renewals, and capital improvements are capitalized, whereas expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the applicable remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the related assets. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the appropriate asset and depreciation accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Property, plant, and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flows basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flows models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. There were no impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. (g) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Intangible assets are assets that lack physical substance (excluding financial assets). Goodwill acquired in a business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, and intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized. All of our goodwill was recognized from business acquisitions during the third quarter of 2019 and is not amortized. We test goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if a triggering event occurs. A triggering event occurs when there are changes in circumstances or events that indicate the assets carrying value may not be recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2022, $0.1 million of goodwill was included in the impairment of the Brazil Operations and is included within loss from discontinued operations (see Note 2). The Company tested its remaining goodwill for impairment during the year ended December 31, 2022 and, based upon a qualitative assessment, it determined a quantitative assessment was not required and no additional impairments of goodwill were identified. No impairments of goodwill were identified for the year ended December 31, 2021. (h) Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in our consolidated balance sheet unless we are reasonably certain at inception of the lease that we will renew the lease for a period that extends the initial term longer than 12 months. All leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, whether classified as operating or finance, are recorded to our consolidated balance sheet based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, determined at lease commencement. Determination of the present value of lease payments requires a discount rate. We use the implicit rate in the lease agreement when available. Most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate; therefore, we use a weighted average borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date. Certain of our leases contain non-lease components which are not separated from the lease components when calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability per our use of the practical expedient to combine both components of an arrangement for all classes of leased assets. See also Note 11 for a further discussion or our leases. (i) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from our contracts in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts 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. Revenues from contracts with customers are disaggregated into (1) LNG product and (2) rental, (3) service, and (4) other. The Company recognizes revenue associated with the sale of LNG at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset. In evaluating when a customer has control of the asset, the Company primarily considers whether the transfer of legal title and physical delivery has occurred, whether the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership, and whether the customer accepted delivery and a right of payment exists. Revenues from the providing of services, transportation and equipment to customers is recognized as the service is performed. Revenue is measured as consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Amounts are billed upon completion of service or transfer of a product and are generally due within 30 days. See also Note 3 for a further discussion of our accounting policy for revenue recognition. (j) Income Taxes The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for each tax jurisdiction in which we operate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that required recognition. See Note 13 for a further discussion of our accounting policy related to income taxes. The Company files income tax returns in the United States of America with the federal government and various state taxing authorities, in Mexico, Canada and formerly in Brazil. With few exceptions, the Company is subject to examination by the applicable taxing authorities for years after 2018. (k) Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) Basic earnings per share, or EPS, is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares, such as stock options and warrants were exercised. The Company had no dilutive securities for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021 since the Company incurred net losses for both continuing and discontinued operations for these periods and inclusion would be antidilutive. (l) Commitments and Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. (m) Fair Value Measurements The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in the fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels in accordance with U.S. GAAP: Level 1 Inputs —Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs — Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby, allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to their relative short maturities. T he Company estimated the fair value of its fixed and variable rate debt as $11.3 million compared to a carrying value of $12.0 million (see Note 10) at December 31, 2022. The Company’s estimate of fair value is subjective in nature and is dependent on a number of important assumptions, including discount rates. The fair value of our fixed and variable rate debt was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the Company’s estimate of its incremental borrowing rate at December 31, 2022 (within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). Different market assumptions and estimation methodologies could result in different estimations of fair value. Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, are measured at fair value using quoted market prices or, to the extent that there are no available quoted market prices, market prices for similar assets or liabilities. (n) Foreign Currency Gains and Losses Foreign currency translations are included as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss). The Company has determined the local currency of its foreign subsidiaries and foreign joint ventures to be the functional currency. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 830), the assets and liabilities of the foreign equity investees and foreign subsidiaries, denominated in foreign currency, are translated into United States dollars at exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date and net sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as comprehensive income (loss), net of deferred income taxes, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity, whereas gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations. In the event of liquidation of a foreign subsidiary, amounts included within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and related to cumulative foreign currency translation gains and losses are reclassified out of AOCI and into net income (loss) upon sale. (o) Stock-based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Compensation expense for stock-based awards expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. See also Note 15 for further discussion of our stock-based compensation. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU No. 2020-04”), 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 No. 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 No. 2020-04 are optional and are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Adoption of ASU No. 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which changes the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, and other short-term financial instruments, companies will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination. ASU No. 2016-13 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter 2023. Early adoption of the new standard is permitted; however, Stabilis has not elected to early adopt the standard. The Company believes that the impact of ASU 2016-13, if any, will be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.
