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. PGT Innovations, Inc. (“PGTI”, “we,” or the “Company”), formerly named PGT, Inc., manufactures and supplies premium windows and doors. Our highly engineered and technically advanced products can withstand some of the toughest weather conditions on earth and unify indoor/outdoor living spaces. We are also the nation’s largest manufacturer of impact-resistant windows and doors. Our family of brands include CGI®, PGT® Custom Windows & Doors, WinDoor®, Western Window Systems®, CGI Commercial® and Eze-Breeze®. Products are sold through an authorized dealer and distributor network. The majority of our sales are to customers in the state of Florida, but we sell products to customers in many states. We also have sales in the Caribbean, Canada, and in South and Central America. With the acquisition of Western Window Systems (“WWS”), we have an increased level of sales in the western United States. See Note 6 for a discussion of this acquisition. We were incorporated in the state of Delaware on December 16, 2003, as JLL Window Holdings, Inc., with primary operations in North Venice, Florida. On February 15, 2006, our Company was renamed PGT, Inc. On December 14, 2016, we announced that we changed our name to PGT Innovations, Inc. and, effective on December 28, 2016, the listing of our common stock was transferred to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) from the NASDAQ Global Market (NASDAQ), and began trading on the NYSE under its existing ticker symbol of “PGTI”. We have four manufacturing operations in Florida, and one in Arizona. Our manufacturing facilities in Florida include one in North Venice, two in the greater Miami area, and one in Orlando. Our Arizona operations are in Phoenix. Additionally, we have two glass tempering and laminating plants and one insulation glass plant, all located in North Venice. All references to PGTI or our Company apply to the consolidated financial statements of PGT Innovations, Inc. unless otherwise noted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the current year or for any future periods. Each of the Company’s fiscal quarters ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018, consisted of 13 weeks. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2018, 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 29, 2018, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended September 28, 2019, should be read in conjunction with the more detailed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 29, 2018, included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except for the adoption of the guidance relating to leases discussed below, the accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Beginning in 2019, we concluded that we have two reportable segments: the Southeast segment, and the Western segment. The Southeast reporting segment, which is also an operating segment, is composed of our sales in Florida, the core market of our legacy business, as well as Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and the Caribbean. The Western reporting segment, also an operating segment, is composed of sales in the remainder of the United States, along with Canada and Mexico. While both of our operating segments have products, distribution methods and customers of a similar nature, we determined to not aggregate them due to the differences in their geographic markets. Therefore, our operating segments are our reportable segments. See Note 17 for segment disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842”; ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases”; and ASU 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements”. The new standard requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard was effective for us on December 30, 2018 (the first day of our 2019 fiscal year), with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard on this date, using the required modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all leases existing on the effective date. Consequently, financial information was not updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods prior to December 30, 2018. As of the date of adoption, all of our leases were operating leases, and we have no financing leases as of September 28, 2019. The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permitted us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and direct costs, and implemented internal controls and additional lease accounting and tracking procedures to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient, or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements as it was not applicable to us. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualified, primarily for leases that are month-to-month leases. This means, for those leases, we did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets. This standard had a material effect on our consolidated balance sheet relating to the recognition of an operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability for our real estate leases and related to new disclosures about our leasing activities. On adoption, we recognized an operating lease right-of-use asset of $30.5 $32.3 6.2% Leases Accounting Policy We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current portion of operating lease liability, and operating lease liability, less current portion, on our consolidated balance sheets. Should we engage in any finance leases in the future, finance leases would be included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made and initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Fair Value Measurement Disclosures In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on its fair value disclosures. Financial Instruments – Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. Subsequently, in November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”. ASU 2018-19 clarifies the codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance. ASU’s 2016-13 and 2018-19 are effective for us for our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019. We do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In the ordinary course of business, we extend credit to qualified dealers and distributors, generally on a non-collateralized basis. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which is based on management’s assessments of the amount which may become uncollectible in the future and is determined through consideration of our write-off history, specific identification of uncollectible accounts based in part on the customer’s past due balance (based on contractual terms), and consideration of prevailing economic and industry conditions. Uncollectible accounts are written off after repeated attempts to collect from the customer have been unsuccessful. As of September 28, 2019, and December 29, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was million and million, respectively. |
