Organization Celadon Group, Inc. (the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, provides transportation services between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The Company's primary transportation subsidiaries are: Celadon Trucking Services, Inc. ("CTSI"), a U.S. based company; Celadon Logistics Services, Inc. ("CLSI"), a U.S. based company; Servicio de Transportation Jaguar, S.A. de C.V. ("Jaguar"), a Mexican based company; and Celadon Canada, Inc. ("CelCan"), a Canadian based company. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation and Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned except for Jaguar in which the Company owns 75% of the shares. The entity was set up to allow the Company to operate in Mexico. The minority owner of Jaguar has been refunded all initial capital contributions and is not entitled to receive any future earnings or required to fund any losses of the subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless otherwise noted, all references to annual periods refer to the respective fiscal years ended June 30. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Such estimates include provisions for liability claims and uncollectible accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves which management believes are adequate to provide for potential credit losses. Uncollectible accounts receivable are written off against the reserves. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are generally limited due to the Company's large number of customers and the diverse range of industries which they represent. Accounts receivable balances due from any single customer did not total more than 5% of the Company's gross trade receivables at June 30, 2016. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Property and equipment under capital leases are stated at fair value at the inception of the lease. Depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of assets under capital leases are computed using the straight-line method and are based on the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the related assets (net of salvage value) as follows:
The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Long-lived assets are depreciated over estimated useful lives based on historical experience and prevailing industry practice. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed to ensure they remain appropriate. Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever an event occurs that indicates an impairment may exist. Future cash flows and operating performance are used for analyzing potential impairment losses. If the sum of expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value an impairment loss is recognized. The Company measures the impairment loss by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value. Fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis or appraised or estimated market values as appropriate. Long-lived assets that are held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or the fair value less costs to sell. Leased revenue equipment held for sale Leased revenue equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of carrying value and fair market value less costs to sell. Leased revenue equipment held for sale is depreciated during months the assets are under leases. The majority of the assets included in leased revenue equipment held for sale were acquired to be sold and those assets have been recorded at cost. Management has a plan to sell these leased assets in their current condition to third party financing parties and is currently marketing these units at a reasonable price compared to their fair value. The sale is probable within one year. Revenue equipment held for sale Revenue equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of carrying value and fair market value less costs to sell. The Company also ceases the depreciation on these assets. The majority of the assets included in revenue equipment held for sale were acquired to be resold and those assets have been recorded at cost. As of June 30, 2016, 33% of the units held for sale was comprised of old Celadon fleet equipment no longer in service versus newly purchased equipment. Newly purchased equipment is defined as equipment purchased for the sole purpose of being leased to a third party fleet or an independent contractor and then sold to a third party financing company. The newly purchased equipment has not operated in Celadon’s fleet. Management has a plan to sell these assets in their current condition to third party purchasers and is currently marketing these units at a reasonable price compared to their fair value. The sale is probable within one year. Leased Assets Leased assets consist of assets leased to independent contractors or third party fleets within our Equipment Leasing and Services segment. These assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term during months that the units are under lease. Leased assets are tested for impairment whenever an event occurs that indicates impairment may exist. The Company measures the impairment loss by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value. Fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis or appraised or estimated market values as appropriate. Also included in leased assets are assets for which we received proceeds and transferred title to 19 th Capital. Although we transferred title of these assets, we retained certain risks of ownership through a deferred payment stream associated with the ultimate disposition of the equipment at the end of the lease period. We deemed that this transaction did not qualify for sales treatment under ASC 840-20-40-3. As a result, these assets were not removed from our balance sheet. These assets are depreciated over the remainder of the lease or obligation to 19th Capital, whichever is shorter. These units are evaluated for collectability of the remaining outstanding balance owed by 19th Capital.Tires in Service Replacement tires on tractors and trailers are included in tires in service and are amortized over 18 to 36 months. Goodwill The consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and 2015 included goodwill of acquired businesses of approximately $62.5 million and $55.4 million respectively. Under ASC Topic 350-20 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other , goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually (or more often, if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss has been incurred). On April 1, 2016, we completed our most recent impairment test for the fiscal year and concluded that there was no indication of impairment.Insurance Reserves The primary claims arising for us consist of cargo liability, personal injury, property damage, collision and comprehensive, workers' compensation, and employee medical expenses. We maintain self-insurance levels for these various areas of risk and have established reserves to cover these self-insured liabilities. We also maintain insurance to cover exposures in excess of these self-insurance amounts. Claims reserves represent accruals for the estimated uninsured portion of reported claims, including adverse development of reported claims, as well as estimates of incurred but not reported claims. Reported claims and related loss reserves are estimated by third party administrators, and we refer to these estimates in establishing our reserves. Claims incurred but not reported are estimated based on our historical experience and industry trends, which are continually monitored, and accruals are adjusted when warranted by changes in facts and circumstances. In establishing our reserves we take into account and estimate various factors, including, but not limited to, assumptions concerning the nature and severity of the claim, the effect of the jurisdiction on any award or settlement, the length of time until ultimate resolution, inflation rates in health care, and in general interest rates, legal expenses, and other factors. Our actual experience may be different than our estimates, sometimes significantly. Changes in assumptions as well as changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change. Insurance and claims expense will vary from period to period based on the severity and frequency of claims incurred in a given period. The administrative expenses associated with these reserves are expensed when incurred. Litigation Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources, are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment, loss and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Revenue Recognition Freight revenue, fuel surcharge and related direct costs are recognized on the date freight is delivered to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Prior to commencement of shipment, the Company's subsidiaries will negotiate an agreed upon price for services to be rendered. Driver wages and other direct operating expenses are recognized when freight is delivered. The Company recognizes operating lease revenue from leasing tractors and related equipment to independent contractors as a component of freight revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease revenue from rental operations is recognized as payments come due and collectability of the minimum lease payments is reasonably assured. Revenue from our asset-light segment is recognized upon completion of the services provided. R ent and purchased transportation expense for transportation costs we pay to the third-party provider are recognized upon completion of services provided. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred by the Company. Advertising expense primarily consists of recruiting for new drivers. Advertising expenses for fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 were $6.6 million, $5.2 million, and $3.2 million, respectively, and are included in salaries, wages, and employee benefits and other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are recognized for tax loss and credit carryforwards and the future tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting, based on enacted tax laws and rates. Federal income taxes are provided on the portion of the income of foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the United States. The Company follows ASC Topic 740-10-25 Income Taxes , in accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC 740-10-25 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Accounting for Derivatives In previous years, the Company has had derivative financial instruments in place to reduce currency exposure for the Mexican peso and the Canadian dollar and currently has derivative financial instruments in place to reduce exposure to fuel price fluctuations. Derivative gains/(losses), initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income with an offset to accrued liabilities or other assets, are reclassified to earnings in the period when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. Earnings per Share ("EPS") The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share , which requires companies to present basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Dilutive common stock options are included in the diluted EPS calculation using the treasury stock method.Stock-based Employee Compensation Plans The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation , which requires companies to recognize the grant date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in its consolidated statement of operations. Foreign Currency Translation Foreign financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters . Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Statement of operations accounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income.Business Combinations Assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of a business acquisition are generally recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition in accordance with ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Determining fair value of identifiable assets, particularly intangibles, and liabilities acquired also requires us to make estimates, which are based on all available information and in some cases assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with an asset. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("the FASB") issued ASU No. 2015-14 deferring the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC Topic 606): ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires the recognition of 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. This guidance will affect any organization that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the new guidance and plans to provide additional information about its expected financial impact at a future date. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 "Income Taxes"(ASC Topic 740), to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The guidance in this Update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. This guidance will affect any entity that presents a classified statement of financial position. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has early adopted this update. Adoption of this update impacted our consolidated balance sheet by reclassifying current deferred tax assets of approximately $5 million and $7 million to offset our long term deferred tax liabilities for the fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 periods respectively. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 "Leases"(ASC Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance will affect any entity that enters into a lease. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the new guidance and plans to provide additional information about its expected financial impact at a future date. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 "Compensation - Stock Compensation"(ASC Topic 718), to simplify various aspects of accounting for stock-based compensation, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or liability, as well as classification of activities within the statement of cash flows. This guidance will affect any entity that issues share-based payment awards to their employees. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the new guidance and plans to provide additional information about its expected financial impact at a future date. |
