Basis of Presentation | NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PGT Innovations, Inc. and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, including, PGT Industries, Inc., CGI Window and Door Holdings, Inc. (“CGI”), CGI Commercial, Inc. (“CGIC”), WinDoor, Incorporated, Coyote Acquisition Co. and WWS Acquisition LLC (formerly known as GEF WW Parent LLC) (collectively, the “Company”), after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. On August 13, 2018, PGT Innovations, Inc. completed the acquisition (the “WWS acquisition”) of GEF WW Parent LLC (now known as WWS Acquisition LLC) (“Western Window Systems” or “WWS”) and its subsidiaries pursuant to that certain purchase agreement (“PA”), dated as of July 24, 2018, by and among the Company, Coyote Acquisition Co., WWS, WWS Blocker LLC, various entities that collectively owned all the equity interests of WWS and a seller representative. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Western Window Systems designs and manufactures award winning contemporary door and window systems that unify indoor/outdoor living for the residential, commercial and multi-family markets. As a result of the PA, WWS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PGT Innovations, Inc. and its accounts are reflected in these financial statements as of and from August 13, 2018. The purchase price paid to the sellers at the closing was $355.2 million, which has been preliminarily allocated to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”. For a more detailed discussion of this WWS acquisition, see Note 6 herein. As a result of the WWS acquisition and the expansion of our geographical footprint, we are in the process of analyzing the impact of this acquisition, if any, on the determination of our reportable segments under ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2017, is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2017, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 29, 2018, should be read in conjunction with the more detailed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2017, included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Form 10-K. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, 2017-12 2017-12 2017-12. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, 2017-05 610-20, 610-20, 2014-09, non-customers. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, 2017-01 2017-01 In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, 2016-15 Adoption of ASU 2014-09, We adopted the new revenue recognition standard on December 31, 2017 (the first day of our 2018 fiscal year) using the modified retrospective adoption methodology, whereby the cumulative impact of all prior periods is recorded in retained earnings or other impacted balance sheet line items upon adoption. Under the modified retrospective adoption method, we elected to retroactively adjust, inclusive of all previous modifications, only those contracts that were considered open at the date of initial application. Refer to Note 2, “Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers” for further information along with our new accounting policies. Upon adoption, we recognized a net decrease to the fiscal year 2018 opening balance of accumulated deficit of $1.9 million related to sales in excess of billings of $8.7 million, that would have been recognized as earned over time in our prior year ended December 30, 2017. The details of the adjustment to accumulated deficit upon adoption on December 31, 2017 (the first day or our 2018 fiscal year) is as follows (in thousands): Cumulative Effect Description of Effects on Line Item Net sales $ 8,704 Additional contract asset sales Cost of sales (5,642 ) Inventory classified as cost of sales SG&A expenses (532 ) Accruals for selling costs Income tax expense (647 ) Estimated income tax effects Net income $ 1,883 Additional net income The following tables reconcile the balances as presented as of and for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018 to the balances prior to the adjustments made to implement the new revenue recognition standard for the same period, for the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Adoption of the revenue recognition standard did not impact our cash from operating, investing, or financing activities on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

We expect to adopt the new standard on its effective date. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date, or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. We expect to adopt the new standard on December 30, 2018 and use the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods prior to December 30, 2018. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to elect some or all of the new standard’s available transition practical expedients, which we are continuing to evaluate. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We currently expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, primarily our vehicle and office equipment leases. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize right-of-use right-of-use non-lease We expect that this standard will have a material effect on our financial position. While we continue to assess all of the effects of adoption, we currently believe the most significant effects relate to the recognition of new right-of-use right-of-use Intangibles In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Other-Internal-Use 350-40)”. internal-use Fair Value Measurement Disclosures In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, |
