Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, as filed with the Commission.

The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, the financial information included in this report contains all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The December 29, 2019, consolidated condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Risks and Uncertainties

The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and many companies have experienced disruptions in their operations. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used and determined that except for the goodwill impairment discussed in Note 10 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” there were no other material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at April 5, 2020. Our primary credit facility has various financial and other covenants including, but not limited to, a covenant to not exceed a maximum net debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined by the credit facility agreement. In the event we believe we are unable to maintain compliance with such covenants in the future, we will take mitigating actions prior to such potential breach. The full extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations is uncertain. A prolonged COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse impact on our operations, financial condition, our ability to stay in compliance with our debt covenants, our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness and our ability to collect outstanding receivables. The impact of COVID-19 could also result in additional impairment losses related to goodwill, all intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.

Change in Accounting Principle

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, “Improvements to Share Based Payment Accounting,” to simplify the accounting for share based payment transactions. We previously adopted the provisions of this ASU in fiscal year 2017 and noted at that time that we would apply the policy election to estimate forfeitures of share based awards and reduce stock compensation expense based on that estimate. On December 30, 2019, the Company elected to change its forfeiture method related to share based awards and will now account for forfeitures as they occur, as allowed by ASU 2016-09. The Company believes that this change is preferable because it achieves better correlation of stock compensation expense with the requisite service period. The cumulative impact of this change did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and is not expected to have a material effect on the full fiscal year 2020 consolidated financial statements. As a result, the cumulative effect of $1.4 million was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) within the consolidated condensed statement of operations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Since the impact of this change is not material, prior period amounts were not retrospectively adjusted.

Reclassifications

Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company made certain classification and presentation changes related to customer service and other costs. Previously, these costs were presented as a component of cost of sales. Beginning in fiscal year 2020, these costs will be presented as a component of SG&A. The Company determined that this change better reflects how management views and operates the business. Reclassifications of the comparative prior year 2019 amounts have been made to conform to the current presentation as follows:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Credit Losses. This standard requires a financial asset (including trade receivables) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected through the use of valuation allowances for credit losses. The income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The Company adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective approach with no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings to recognize expected credit losses on trade accounts receivable. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” that provides for the elimination of Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, impairment charges are recognized to the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value with certain limitations. See Note 10 for additional information.

On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This standard eliminates the current requirement to disclose the amount or reason for transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the requirement to disclose the valuation methodology for level 3 fair value measurements. The standard includes additional disclosure requirements for level 3 fair value measurements, including the requirement to disclose the changes in unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income during the period and permits the disclosure of other relevant quantitative information for certain unobservable inputs. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On December 30, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-15, “Internal-Use Software - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement service contract with the guidance to capitalize implementation costs of internal use software. The ASU also requires that the costs for implementation activities during the application development phase be capitalized in a hosting arrangement service contract, and costs during the preliminary and post implementation phase are expensed. The Company adopted this standard, which will be applied on a prospective basis, with no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740 related to intraperiod tax allocation, the calculation of income taxes in interim periods, and the accounting for outside basis differences of foreign subsidiaries and equity method investments. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of ASC Topic 740, including franchise or similar taxes partially based on income, the accounting for a step-up in tax basis goodwill, and interim recognition of an enacted change in tax laws or rates, by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard but does not anticipate that the adoption will have a material effect on its 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." This standard addresses the risks from the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and provides optional expedients and exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR if certain criteria are met. This new guidance is effective and may be applied beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard.
