Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Consolidation and Basis of Presentation: Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. (“ParkOhio,” “we” or the “Company”) is a diversified international company providing world-class customers with a supply chain management outsourcing service, capital equipment used on their production lines, and manufactured components used to assemble their products. The Company operates three reportable segments: Supply Technologies, Assembly Components and Engineered Products. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements or financings with unconsolidated entities or other persons, other than the letters of credits disclosed in Note 8. The Company leases certain real properties owned by related parties as described in Note 12. Transactions with related parties are not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.5 million and $4.9 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s policy is to measure expected credit losses on accounts receivable based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. During 2020 and 2019, we sold, without recourse, $74.1 million and $112.7 million, respectively, of accounts receivable to mitigate accounts receivable concentration risk and to increase working capital efficiency. Sales of accounts receivable are reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the proceeds are included in cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Expense in the amount of $0.4 million and $1.1 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the discount on sale of accounts receivable is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Inventories: Inventories are valued using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or the weighted-average inventory method and stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, except for the inventories at Canton Drop Forge (“CDF”). CDF inventories are stated using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Major Classes of Inventories December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Raw materials and supplies $ 93.8 $ 92.6 Work in process 42.3 51.3 Finished goods 172.8 181.3 LIFO reserve 2.0 2.0 Inventories, net $ 310.9 $ 327.2 Other Inventory Items Inventory reserves $ (39.3) $ (34.2) Consigned inventory $ 13.4 $ 8.2 Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost. Additions and improvements that extend the lives of assets are capitalized, and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of fixed assets, including amounts capitalized under finance leases, is computed by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from five one three The following table summarizes property, plant and equipment: December 31, December 31, Land and land improvements $ 12.6 $ 12.0 Buildings 89.8 86.9 Machinery and equipment 440.2 424.0 Leased property under finance leases 44.8 39.2 Total property, plant and equipment 587.4 562.1 Less: Accumulated depreciation 348.3 322.0 Property, plant and equipment, net $ 239.1 $ 240.1 Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Depreciation expense $ 29.6 $ 27.6 $ 29.3 Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Assets: In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350,“Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”), goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized but rather are tested annually for impairment as of October 1, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be an indicator of impairment in accordance with ASC 350 . Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level and is based on the net assets of each reporting unit, including goodwill and intangible assets, compared to its fair value. Our reporting units have been identified one level below the operating segment level. The Company completed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles impairment testing as of October 1 of each year, noting no impairment. To determine fair value for goodwill testing purposes, the Company uses an income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow model based on forecasted cash flows and weighted average cost of capital. To determine fair value for indefinite-lived intangibles testing, the Company uses a relief-of-royalty method. See Notes 6 and 7 for additional disclosures about goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. Impairment of Other Long-Lived Assets: Other long-lived assets, including operating lease right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Upon indications of impairment, assets and liabilities are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. The asset group would be considered impaired if the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset group are less than its carrying value. Impairment losses are measured by comparing the estimated fair value of the asset group to its carrying value. Fair Values of Financial Instruments: Certain financial instruments are required to be recorded at fair value. The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels of inputs. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is as follows: Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods could affect the fair value estimates; however, we do not believe any such changes would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings under the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 8) approximate fair value at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of long-term debt and pension plan assets are disclosed in Note 8 and Note 13, respectively. The Company has not changed its valuation techniques for measuring fair value during 2020, and there were no transfers between levels during the periods presented. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits: We account for our pensions and other post-retirement benefits in accordance with ASC Topic 715, "Compensation — Retirement Benefits." Net actuarial gains and losses are amortized to expense when they exceed the 10% accounting corridor, based on the greater of the plan assets or benefit obligations, over an average employee future service period. Refer to Note 13 for more information. Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the current enacted tax rates. In determining these amounts, management determined the probability of realizing deferred tax assets, taking into consideration factors including historical operating results, cumulative earnings and losses, expectations of future earnings, taxable income and the extended period of time over which the postretirement benefits will be paid. As required by ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company records valuation allowances if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have elected to account for global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as a current period expense. The impact of GILTI at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was an increase in tax expense of $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The impact of FDII at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was a decrease in tax expense of $0.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue, other than from long-term contracts within the Engineered Products segment, when its obligations under the contract terms are satisfied and control transfers to the customer, typically upon shipment. Revenue from certain long-term contracts is accounted for over time, as products are manufactured or services are performed, as control transfers over time under these arrangements. We follow this method since reasonably reliable estimates of revenue and costs of a contract can be made. See Note 2 for additional disclosure on revenue. Cost of Sales : Cost of sales is primarily comprised of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacture of product; manufacturing labor, depreciation expense and direct overhead expense; and shipping and handling costs. Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company sells its products to customers in diversified industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition but does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had uncollateralized receivables with six customers in the automotive industry, each with several locations, aggregating $40.6 million, which represented approximately 16% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable. During 2020, sales to these customers amounted to approximately $228.2 million, which represented approximately 18% of the Company’s net sales. Environmental: The Company expenses environmental costs related to existing conditions resulting from past or current operations and from which no current or future benefit is discernible. Costs that extend the life of the related property or mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination are capitalized. The Company records a liability when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The estimated liability of the Company is not reduced for possible recoveries from insurance carriers and is undiscounted. Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries outside the United States is the local currency. Financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and weighted-average exchange rates during the period for revenues and expenses. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, including intercompany transactions that are not considered long-term investments, are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Warranties: The Company estimates the amount of warranty claims on sold products that may be incurred based on current and historical data. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance. The following table presents the changes in the Company’s product warranty liability: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Balance at January 1 $ 6.4 $ 6.2 $ 7.9 Claims paid during the year (2.5) (4.1) (5.3) Warranty expense 2.5 4.3 3.6 Balance at December 31 $ 6.4 $ 6.4 $ 6.2 Accounting Standards Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments,” which replaced the current incurred loss impairment model with a methodology that reflected expected credit losses. Under the new methodology, entities will measure expected credit losses on financial instruments held at amortized cost, including trade receivables, based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard had an immaterial impact on the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the provision and write-offs was not material, and the allowance approximated $5.5 million as of December 31, 2020. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (ASC 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The Company adopted this standard as of April 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard had an immaterial impact on the Company's tax provision. Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” which was issued in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate. The guidance is effective upon issuance and may be adopted on any date on or after March 12, 2020. However, the relief is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022 or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of this standard. No other recently issued ASUs are expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. |
