NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | (1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION ZAGG® Inc and its subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ZAGG,” or the “Company”) are innovation leaders in mobile tech accessories for smartphones and tablets. For over 10 years, ZAGG has developed creative product solutions that enhance and protect mobile devices for consumers around the world. The Company has an award-winning product portfolio that includes screen protection, power cases, power management, personal audio, mobile keyboards, and cases sold under the ZAGG, InvisibleShield®, mophie®, and IFROGZ® brands. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The Company suggests that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On March 3, 2016, the Company acquired mophie inc. ("mophie"). The results of operations of mophie are included in the Company's results of operations beginning on March 3, 2016. Based on the manner in which the Company manages, evaluates, and internally reports its operations, the Company determined that mophie will be reported as a separate reportable segment. See Notes 3 and 13 for additional details on the acquisition and the Company's reportable segments. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ZAGG Inc and its wholly owned subsidiaries ZAGG International Distribution Limited (“ZAGG International”); Patriot Corporation; ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Co, Inc. (“ZAGG IP”); ZAGG Retail, Inc; mophie inc.; mophie LLC; mophie Technology Development Co., Ltd; mophie Netherlands Coöperatie U.A.; and mophie Limited. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (amounts in thousands) In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This ASU includes a five-step process by which entities will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also will require enhanced disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The ASU may be adopted utilizing one of two methods. The first method is to adopt the ASU by recording the effect of the guidance in the ASU retrospectively to each prior period presented in the period of adoption. The second method is to adopt the ASU by recording the effect of the guidance in the ASU retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to approve a one-year deferral of the effective date of this ASU. This deferral was issued by the FASB in ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Deferral of the Effective Date”. As a result of ASU No. 2015-14 the Company expects that it will apply the new revenue standard to annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”. The amendments and practical expedients presented in the ASU aim to simplify the transition to the new standard, to provide practical expedients for transition and sales taxes, and to clarify certain aspects of the standard. The Company currently anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of adoption recorded at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” This ASU provides guidance to entities that measure inventory using a method other than last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. For entities using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost, the measurement principle for their inventory changes from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. Current U.S. GAAP requires, at each financial statement date, that entities measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The measurement of market is commonly the current replacement cost. However, entities also need to consider net realizable value and net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin in their measurement. For entities using a method other than LIFO or the retail inventory method, the ASU replaces market with net realizable value. This ASU requires prospective adoption for inventory measurement for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public business entities. The Company has concluded that this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments in the ASU may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The ASU is effective for public business entities for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company adopted the ASU using the retrospective approach resulting in recording deferred tax assets as non-current for current and prior periods presented. This adoption does not impact our results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on-balance sheet via a right of use asset and lease liability. Lessees are allowed to account for short-term leases (i.e., leases with a term of 12 months or less) off-balance sheet, consistent with current operating lease accounting. A number of other significant changes to lease accounting have been effected through the issuance of this standard. The requirements of the new standard for leases shall be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. When adopted, the Company will be required to adjust equity at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, and the other comparative amounts disclosed for each prior period presented in the financial statements, as if the requirements of the new standard had always been applied. The new standard also contains practical expedients which the Company may elect to follow. The new standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements, including whether to elect the practical expedients outlined in the new standard. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplified accounting for share-based payments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years for public business entities. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period provided that the entire ASU is adopted. The new standard contains several amendments that simplify the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The changes in the new standard eliminate the accounting for excess tax benefits to be recognized in additional paid-in capital and tax deficiencies recognized either in the income tax provision or in additional paid-in capital. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-09 as of the beginning of the quarter ended March 31, 2017. For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company applied the amendment relating to the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies on a prospective basis and, accordingly, has recognized all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit as discrete items resulting in the recognition of income tax expense of $171. The Company has not recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year because all tax benefits had previously been recognized when the tax deductions related to stock compensation were utilized to reduce taxes payable. The Company has elected to apply the amendment related to the presentation of cash flows for excess tax benefits on a prospective basis and no prior periods have been adjusted. The Company’s financial position or results of operations were not impacted by amendments related to the statutory tax withholding requirement and, accordingly, no adjustment has been recorded. The Company will continue to classify cash remitted to the tax authorities as a financing activity as now required by the amendments in the ASU. The ASU permits a policy election to either record forfeitures as they occur or estimate forfeitures consistent with historical U.S. GAAP. The Company has elected to record forfeitures as they occur, which did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which addresses eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon bonds; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in the ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable for the amendments to be applied retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues may be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements, including the method of adoption. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,” which requires entities to recognize at the transaction date the income tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,” which requires companies to include cash and cash equivalents that have restrictions on withdrawal or use in total cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which requires an entity to no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities may early adopt the standard for goodwill impairment tests with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment assessment and will elect to early adopt this standard in the current year when the assessment is performed. |
