Dec. 31, 2019

Cost of goods sold includes material costs, direct and indirect labor, overhead expenses, inbound freight charges, inspection costs, internal transfer costs, receiving costs, and other costs.

Warehouse and delivery expenses include salaries and wages, building rent and insurance, and other overhead costs related to distribution operations and delivery costs related to the shipment of finished and distributed products to customers.

Share Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation

Compensation expense related to the fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards as of the grant date is calculated based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. In addition, the Company estimates the fair value of all stock option and stock appreciation rights (“SARS”) awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense and include the dividend yield and exercise price. Expected volatilities take into consideration the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of options and SARS represents the period of time that the options and SARS granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical Company trends. The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for instruments of a similar term.

Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock options, SARS, and restricted stock and RSU awards (collectively, “Common Stock Equivalents”). The dilutive effect of Common Stock Equivalents is calculated under the treasury stock method using the average market price for the period. Certain Common Stock Equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share because the exercise prices of those Common Stock Equivalents were greater than the average market price of the common shares. See Note 15 for the calculation of both basic and diluted net income per common share.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables consist primarily of amounts due to the Company from its normal business activities. In assessing the carrying value of its trade receivables, the Company estimates the recoverability by making assumptions based on factors such as current overall and industry-specific economic conditions, historical and anticipated customer performance, historical write-off and collection experience, the level of past-due amounts, and specific risks identified in the trade receivables portfolio.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) and net realizable value. Based on the inventory aging and other considerations for realizable value, the Company writes down the carrying value to net realizable value where appropriate. The Company reviews inventory on-hand and records provisions for excess and obsolete inventory based on current assessments of future demand, market conditions, and related management initiatives. The cost of manufactured inventories includes raw materials, inbound freight, labor and overhead. The Company’s distribution inventories include the cost of materials purchased for resale and inbound freight.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is generally recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method applied to individual items based on estimated useful lives, which generally range from 10 to 30 years for buildings and improvements, and from three to seven years for machinery, equipment and transportation equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their useful lives or the related lease term. The recoverability of PP&E is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, primarily based on estimated selling price, appraised value or projected future cash flows.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to an annual impairment test based on their estimated fair value. The Company performs the required test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment in the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the fair value. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives, as detailed further in Note 7, and are also subject to an impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

When events or conditions warrant, the Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and considers whether these assets are impaired. The Company assesses the recoverability of these assets based upon several factors, including management's intention with respect to the assets and their projected future undiscounted cash flows. If projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company adjusts the carrying amounts of such assets to their estimated fair value. A significant adverse change in the Company’s business climate in future periods could result in a significant loss of market share or the inability to achieve previously projected revenue growth and could lead to a required assessment of the recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets, which may subsequently result in an impairment charge.

Financial Instruments

Fair Value and Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair values are separated into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3) based on the assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine fair value. Each fair value measurement must be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels are as follows:


•	Level 1 inputs, which are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.


•	Level 2 inputs, which are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.


•	Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting entity’s own data).

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, representing government and other money market funds traded in an active market, are reported on the consolidated statements of financial position as a component of "Cash and cash equivalents". The carrying amount of cash equivalents at December 31, 2019, which approximated fair value because of the relatively short maturities, was approximately $132.6 million, valued using Level 1 inputs, with no corresponding amount at December 31, 2018.

The carrying amounts of the 2019 Term Loan and the 2019 Revolver (each as defined herein) and of the 2018 Term Loan and the 2018 Revolver (each as defined herein) approximated fair value as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, based upon terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of its outstanding debt.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred taxes are recognized based on temporary differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized.

The Company reports a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Revenue Recognition

The Company is a major manufacturer and distributor of component products and materials serving original equipment manufacturers in the RV, MH, marine, and industrial industries. Revenue is recognized when or as control of the promised goods transfers to the Company's customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. The Company’s contracts typically consist of a single performance obligation to manufacture and provide the promised goods. To the extent a contract is deemed to have multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation using the standalone selling price of each distinct good in the contract. The transaction price for contracts may include reductions to the transaction price for estimated volume discounts and rebates and other customer incentives.

Manufacturing segment revenue is recognized when control of the products transfers to the customer which is the point when the customer gains the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the asset, which is generally upon delivery of goods. In limited circumstances, where the products are customer specific with no alternative use to the Company, and the Company has a legally enforceable right to payment for performance to date with a reasonable margin, revenue is recognized over the contract term based on the cost-to-cost method. However, such revenue is not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Distribution segment revenue from product sales is recognized on a gross basis upon shipment or delivery of goods at which point control transfers to the customer. The Company acts as a principal in such arrangements because it controls the promised goods before delivery to the customer. The Company uses direct shipment arrangements with certain vendors and suppliers to deliver products to its customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouses. The Company is the principal in the transaction and recognizes revenue for direct shipment arrangements on a gross basis. Our role as principal in our distribution sales is generally characterized by (i) customers entering into contracts with the Company, not the vendor; (ii) our obligation to pay the vendor irrespective of our ability to collect from the customer; (iii) our discretion in determining the price of the good provided to the customer; (iv) our title to the goods before the customer receives or accept the goods; and (v) our responsibility for the quality and condition of goods delivered to the customer.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", which requires in part that an entity recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on its statement of financial position for leases that were previously classified as operating leases under U.S. GAAP.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements", which offered practical expedient alternatives to the modified retrospective adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842.

The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019, and recorded approximately $88 million in lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, with no material impact on the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity, income, comprehensive income or cash flows. See Note 16 for further information.

Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". This ASU simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. The standard requires that the impairment loss be measured as the excess of the

reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. It eliminates the second step that requires the impairment to be measured between the implied value of a reporting unit's goodwill and its carrying value. The standard is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which amends certain provisions of ASC 326, “Financial Instruments-Credit Loss”. The ASU changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held to maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Additionally, entities will be required to disclose more information with respect to credit quality indicators, including information used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years and will be applied as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period for which the guidance is effective. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
