Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, net sales and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. These estimates include, but are not limited to: establishing the allowance for expected credit losses; allowance for obsolete inventory; the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; establishing useful lives for and evaluating the recovery of long-lived assets; recognizing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations; determining the fair value of contingent considerations; accounting for rebates and product warranties; the valuation and expensing for share-based compensation; certain assumptions made in accounting for pension benefits; accounting for contingencies and uncertainties and accounting for income taxes. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents mainly consist of highly liquid, unrestricted savings, checking, money market funds with original maturities of less than three months and other bank accounts.

The following table sets forth the components of cash and cash equivalents:


	March 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Cash	$	117,299	$	228,975
Money market funds (Level 1 securities)	—		239,902
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	117,299	$	468,877

Accounts Receivable, Net

The Company reports accounts receivable net of an allowance for expected credit losses. The Company establishes provisions for expected credit losses based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of amounts owed to the Company by its customers. Such allowances are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss. In establishing the allowance, the Company considers changes in the financial position of a customer, age of the accounts receivable balances, availability of security, unusual macroeconomic conditions, lien rights and bond rights as well as disputes, if any, with its customers. Uncollectible accounts are written off when a settlement is reached for an amount that is less than the outstanding historical balance, all collection efforts have been exhausted or any legal action taken by the Company has concluded. The Company’s allowance for expected credit losses was $6.4 million and $9.6 million at March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value as of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 given the instruments’ relatively short maturities. The carrying amounts of the indebtedness under revolving credit facilities approximate fair value as the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. Fair values for our other debt instruments are measured using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. U.S. GAAP requires us to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require us to develop our own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities.

In connection with certain business acquisitions, the Company periodically enters into agreements that require us to pay additional consideration to the relevant seller. These payments are contingent on the achievement of specified EBITDA targets in periods subsequent to the acquisition. The fair value of contingent consideration is based on unobservable, or Level 3, inputs including a probability-weighted average payout approach. Contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period and any adjustments to fair value are recognized in earnings in the period they are identified. The Company has not made any changes to the methods used to determine the fair value of its contingent consideration obligations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. The ASU will likely result in us including the additional required disclosures when adopted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and expect to adopt them for the year ending December 31, 2024.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. The new guidance requires consistent categorization and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as further disaggregation of income taxes paid. This change is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Prospective application is required, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.
