1.Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

We empower organizations of all sizes with Intelligent Technology SolutionsTM and services to maximize the business value of Information Technology (“IT”) in North America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”).  As a Fortune 500-ranked global provider of digital innovation, cloud/data center transformation, connected workforce, and supply chain optimization solutions, we help clients innovate and optimize their operations to run smarter.  Our company is organized in the following three operating segments, which are primarily defined by their related geographies:

 

Operating Segment

Geography

North America

United States and Canada

EMEA

Europe, Middle East and Africa

APAC

Asia-Pacific

 

Our offerings in North America and certain countries in EMEA and APAC include hardware, software and services.  Our offerings in the remainder of our EMEA and APAC segments consist of largely software and certain software-related services.  

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2020 and our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at such date.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year, due in part to the seasonal nature of our business.  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the related notes thereto, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.  Our results of operations include the results of PCM, Inc. (“PCM”) from its acquisition date of August 30, 2019 and vNext from its acquisition date of February 28, 2020.  

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Insight Enterprises, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements.  Additionally, these estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales recognition, anticipated achievement levels under partner funding programs, assumptions related to stock-based compensation valuation, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories, litigation-related obligations, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and impairment of long-lived assets, including purchased intangibles and goodwill, if indicators of potential impairment exist.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.”  The new standard is intended to simplify various aspects of accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions and amending certain requirements.  The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted.  We do not expect this new standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.    

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.”  The new standard is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held at each reporting date. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.”  The new standard update provides changes for how a company considers expected recoveries and contractual extensions or renewal options when estimating expected credit losses.  In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.”  The new standard update provides amendments to the reporting of expected recoveries.  We adopted these new standards as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of these new standards did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

There have been no other material changes in or additions to the recently issued accounting standards as previously reported in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 that affect or may affect our current financial statements.
