The standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020. The Company adopted the amendments in this update using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of $291,000, net of $96,000 of income taxes, on the opening consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2020. The Company's financial assets that are in the scope of the standard are contract assets and accounts receivables which are short-term in nature.

Refer to Note 4 "Revenue" concerning the Company's costs in excess of billings.

The Company is exposed to credit losses through sales of products and services. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable and costs in excess of billings (collectively "accounts receivable") is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the current status of customers' accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such accounts receivable, the estimated amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that no longer share risk characteristics similar with other accounts receivable. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted as of September 30, 2020.

Estimates are used to determine the allowance. It is based on assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses, for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected.

On December 31, 2020, the Company purchased all the outstanding membership interests of TerraSmart LLC ("TerraSmart"), a leading provider of screw-based, ground-mount solar racking technology, particularly used for solar projects installed on challenging terrain. The results of TerraSmart have been included in the Company's consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition within the Company's Renewables segment. The preliminary purchase consideration for the acquisition of TerraSmart was $223.7 million, which includes a preliminary working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments provided for in the stock purchase agreement.

The purchase price for the TerraSmart acquisition was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values estimated as of the date of acquisition. The Company has commenced the process to confirm the existence, condition and completeness of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to establish fair values of such acquired assets and assumed liabilities and to determine the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the date of acquisition. Due to the timing of the acquisition, we continue to gather information supporting the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Accordingly, all amounts recorded are provisional. These provisional amounts are subject to change if new information is obtained concerning facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within a measurement period of up to one year from the date of acquisition. The final values may also result in changes to depreciation and amortization expense related to certain assets such as property, plant and equipment and acquired intangible assets. The preliminary excess consideration was recorded as goodwill and approximated $153.7 million, all of which is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified including workforce additions, growth opportunities, and increased presence in the domestic solar energy market. The final purchase price allocation will be completed no later than December 31, 2021.

Consolidated net sales increased by $75.6 million, or 9.6%, to $864.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Sales generated from our current year acquisitions of Thermo and Delta Separations and the prior year acquisition of Apeks contributed 7.5%, or $58.9 million to the growth from the prior year. The $16.8 million, or 2.1% increase, in organic growth during the current year was primarily the result of increased volume in both our Residential Products and Renewable Energy and Conservation segments, which more than offset the volume decline in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment.
Net sales in our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment increased 23.5%, or $61.4 million, to $323.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $261.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Organic growth of $2.5 million, or 1.0%, was driven by participation gains in our renewable energy related businesses, partially offset by a decline in our core conservation business related to a slowdown in the cannabis and hemp markets. Backlog improved 28% year over year for this segment, which was the result of strong end market demand in renewable energy, and in conservation, driven by strength in the fruit and vegetable market and increasing activity in the cannabis market.

Net sales in our Residential Products segment increased 9.5%, or $34.2 million, to $394.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $360.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase from the prior year was largely due to continued solid activity in the repair and remodel market, along with participation gains across our various distribution channels.
Net sales in our Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment decreased 12.0%, or $20.0 million, to $147.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $167.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Lower demand and lower steel prices impacting its core industrial products resulted in a decrease in revenue in the Industrial businesses. Revenue in the Infrastructure business was essentially flat year over year, while its ending backlog improved slightly from the prior year.
Our consolidated gross margin increased to 24.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 23.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was due to improved operating execution in all of our core businesses compared to the prior year period that included incremental costs for design refinement and field improvements for our solar tracking solution, effective price and material cost management and benefits from our 80/20 simplification initiatives. Partially offsetting the above improvements were lower gross margins generated from our recent acquisitions.
SG&A expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 4.3%, to $120.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $115.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The $5.0 million increase was largely the result of $11.0 million of incremental SG&A expenses recorded year over year for our recent acquisitions and costs to complete those acquisitions closed during the year, along with investments in the development of our organization and safety of our team by reallocating SG&A spending. Partially offsetting these increases was decreased spending for exit activity costs of approximately $4.6 million. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 14.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 14.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Our Renewable Energy and Conservation segment generated an operating margin of 9.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 11.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in operating margin was the net result of the expected lower margins generated from our recent acquisitions, as we continue to integrate them operationally, largely offset by favorable product and services mix and strong execution in our renewable energy businesses, as well as, the absence of incremental costs incurred during the prior year for design refinement and field improvements for our solar tracking solution.
Our Residential Products segment generated an operating margin of 18.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 13.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in operating margin was largely the result of volume leverage, effective price and material cost management and continued benefits from 80/20 simplification initiatives, along with a $3.1 million decrease in exit activity costs compared to the prior year.

The Industrial and Infrastructure Products segment generated an operating margin of 10.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 8.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in operating margin was the result of continued improvement in execution in our industrial business, effective price and material cost management and ongoing benefit from the Company's 80/20 initiatives.

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $0.4 million from $25.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $25.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The slight decrease was primarily due to lower performance based compensation expense.

Interest expense decreased by $1.9 million to $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in expense resulted from the redemption of the Company's outstanding $210 million of 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes during the first quarter of 2019. No amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

The Company recorded other income of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and other expense of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change from the prior year was the result of the $1.9 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Company's self-guided apartment tour application business within the Residential Products segment.
We recognized a provision for income taxes of $21.7 million and $14.9 million, with effective tax rates of 22.9% and 22.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

We believe our liquidity, together with the cash expected to be generated from operations, should be sufficient to fund working capital needs and growth initiatives.

Our Senior Credit Agreement provides us with liquidity and capital resources for use by our U.S. operations. Historically, our foreign operations have generated cash flow from operations sufficient to invest in working capital and fund their capital improvements. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, our foreign subsidiaries held $38.8$15.2 million of cash in U.S. dollars.

We are taking advantage of the optionDuring 2020, we opted to defer remittance of the employer portion of Social Security tax as provided in the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), and estimate that this deferral will allowwhich allowed us to retain approximately $4$4.4 million in cash during 2020 that would have otherwise been remitted to the federal government. The deferred tax payments will be repaid equally in 2021 and 2022. The CARES Act, along with other foreign government initiatives, also provides for job retention programs, which have allowed some of our businesses to receive payroll tax credits or subsidies during 2020.

Over the long-term, we expect that future investments, including strategic business opportunities such as acquisitions, may be financed through a number of sources, including internally available cash, availability under our revolving credit facility, new debt financing, the issuance of equity securities, or any combination of the above. All potential acquisitions are evaluated based on our acquisition strategy, which includes the enhancement of our existing products, operations, or capabilities, expanding our access to new products, markets, and customers, with the goal of creating compounding and sustainable shareholderstockholder value.

These expectations are forward-looking statements based upon currently available plans and information and may change if conditions in the credit and equity markets deteriorate or other circumstances change. To the extent that operating cash flows are lower than current or expected levels, or sources of financing are not available or not available at acceptable terms, our future liquidity may be adversely affected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Not applicable.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.2020. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operation, cash flows, and future prospects. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, or operating results. We believe there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report, other than the addition of the risk factor set forth below, which was included in Part II, Item 1A of our Form 10-Q reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted worldwide economic conditions and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

The COVID-19 pandemic began to impact our operations late in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to continue to affect our business as government authorities impose mandatory closures, work-from-home orders and social distancing protocols, seek voluntary facility closures or impose other restrictions to help control the spread of COVID-19. Although we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, current actions to control the spread of COVID-19 may adversely impact our business, including limiting our ability to implement our strategic growth initiatives, causing delays in our receipt of raw materials and other product components due to disruptions in our supply chain, limiting access to our distribution channels, reducing the availability of our workforce and subcontractors and increased threats of cyber attacks on our information technology infrastructure. The instability in global financial markets and unpredictable changes in our supply chain or our production capacity and customer demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may pose material risk to our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. We are continuously monitoring the impact to our business and operations and taking action to mitigate the risks involved. However, prolonged disruption to the economy and the end markets we serve may have a material adverse impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
