Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation ARC Document Solutions, Inc. (“ARC Document Solutions,” “ARC” or the “Company”) is a leading document solutions company serving businesses of all types, with an emphasis on the non-residential segment of the architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”) industry. ARC offers a variety of services including: Construction Document Information Management ("CDIM"), Managed Print Services ("MPS"), and Archive and Information Management ("AIM"). In addition, ARC also sells Equipment and Supplies. The Company conducts its operations through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, ARC Document Solutions, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, and its affiliates. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conformity with the requirements of the SEC. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, the accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary to fairly present the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and relies on historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to determine such estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The new guidance amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software , to provide guidance on determining whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license that should be accounted for as internal-use software. ASU 2015-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-05 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which changes the presentation of deferred financing fees in an entity's financial statements. Under the ASU, deferred financing fees are to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2015-03 for the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2016. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which supersedes the existing revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605).” The new guidance requires entities to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . The new guidance raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. It was effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 had no impact to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Segment Reporting The provisions of ASC 280, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information , require public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. The Company identifies operating segments based on the various business activities that earn revenue and incur expense and whose operating results are reviewed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company's chief operating decision maker. Because its operating segments have similar products and services, classes of customers, production processes, distribution methods and economic characteristics, the Company operates as a single reportable segment. In an effort to more closely align the Company's financial presentation to how it markets its services and products to its customers, during the first quarter of 2015, the Company re-categorized its offerings to better report distinct sales recognized from CDIM, MPS, AIM, and Equipment and Supplies Sales. MPS is a new categorization of sales, which combines the Company's previously reported Onsite Services sales with sales generated from the servicing of equipment, which was previously included in Traditional Reprographics. In addition, sales generated from the Company's AIM services were split out from the Company's previously reported Digital Services category and presented separately. The remaining sales generated from Traditional Reprographics, Color Services and Digital Services were combined into CDIM. Equipment and Supplies sales remained unchanged. Amounts for the prior year have been recast to conform to the current year presentation in the table below. The Company believes the updated presentation of its sales categories reflects the drivers of its consolidated sales and will provide greater insight into the opportunities and risk diversification provided by the Company's portfolio of service and product offerings. Net sales of the Company’s principal services and products were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2015 2014 2015 2014 Service Sales CDIM $ 58,835 $ 57,542 $ 113,477 $ 110,882 MPS 37,134 35,743 73,011 68,752 AIM 3,367 2,913 6,173 5,495 Total service sales 99,336 96,198 192,661 185,129 Equipment and supplies sales 14,053 12,784 25,047 24,226 Total net sales $ 113,389 $ 108,982 $ 217,708 $ 209,355 Risk and Uncertainties The Company generates the majority of its revenue from sales of services and products to customers in the AEC industry. As a result, the Company’s operating results and financial condition can be significantly affected by economic factors that influence the AEC industry, such as non-residential construction spending, GDP growth, interest rates, unemployment rates, and office vacancy rates. Reduced activity (relative to historic levels) in the AEC industry would diminish demand for some of ARC’s services and products, and would therefore negatively affect revenues and have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. As part of the Company’s growth strategy, ARC intends to continue to offer and grow a variety of service offerings that are relatively new to the Company. The success of the Company’s efforts will be affected by its ability to acquire new customers for the Company’s new service offerings, as well as to sell the new service offerings to existing customers. The Company’s inability to successfully market and execute these relatively new service offerings could significantly affect its business and reduce its long term revenue, resulting in an adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition. |
