Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

 

2. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yellow Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We report on a calendar year basis. The quarters of Holland and Reddaway consist of thirteen weeks that end on a Saturday either before or after the end of March, June and September, whereas all other companies’ quarters end on the natural calendar quarter end.

 

All normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods included herein have been made.  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the applicable rules and regulations.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“the 2020 Form 10-K”).  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior year’s balances to conform with current year presentation.

Newly-Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments of ASU 2019-12 are meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. ASU 2019-12, upon becoming effective, also removed certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 including the general intraperiod tax allocation exception, and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. Application of the exception to the intraperiod tax allocation rules was a factor in 2020 and certain previous years. 

 

While there are additional recently issued accounting standards that are applicable to the Company, none of these standards are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
