Nature of business | Note 1. Nature of business Nature of business: The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. (“Hemisphere” or the “Company”), the parent holding company of Cine Latino, Inc. (“Cinelatino”), WAPA Holdings, LLC (formerly known as InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC) (“WAPA Holdings”), HMTV Cable, Inc., the parent company of the entities for the acquired networks consisting of Pasiones, TV Dominicana, and Centroamerica TV (see below), and HMTV Distribution, LLC, the parent of Snap Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Snap Media”), which we acquired a 75% interest on November 26, 2018. Hemisphere was formed on January 16, 2013 for purposes of effecting its initial public offering, which was consummated on April 4, 2013. In these notes, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean Hemisphere and all subsidiaries included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Reclassification: Certain prior year amounts on the presented Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Basis of presentation: The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for Hemisphere and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Our financial condition as of, and operating results, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2019. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Net loss per common share: Basic loss per share is computed by dividing income attributable to Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. common stockholders by the number of weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted loss per share reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of the common shares outstanding used in determining basic and diluted loss per share attributable to Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. ( amounts in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Numerator for loss per common share calculation: Net loss attributable to Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. $ (3,169) $ (1,054) $ (7,213) $ (13,719) Denominator for loss per common share calculation: Weighted-average common shares, basic 39,209 38,969 39,135 38,982 Effect of dilutive securities Stock options, restricted stock and warrants — — — — Weighted-average common shares, diluted 39,209 38,969 39,135 38,982 Loss per share attributable to Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. Basic $ (0.08) $ (0.03) $ (0.18) $ (0.35) Diluted $ (0.08) $ (0.03) $ (0.18) $ (0.35) We apply the treasury stock method to measure the dilutive effect of its outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards and include the respective common share equivalents in the denominator of our diluted loss per common share calculation. Per the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260 accounting guidance, under the treasury stock method, the incremental shares (difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) shall be included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share computation (ASC 260-10-45-23). The assumed exercise only occurs when the options are “In the Money” (exercise price is lower than the average market price for the period). If the options are “Out of the Money” (exercise price is higher than the average market price for the period), the exercise is not assumed since the result would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities representing 1.7 million and 1.2 million shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share for these periods because their effects would have been anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities representing 1.2 million and 1.7 million shares of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share for these periods because their effects would have been anti-dilutive. The net loss per share attributable to Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. amounts are the same for our Class A and Class B common stock because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation. As a result of the loss from continuing operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 0.3 million outstanding awards, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. Use of estimates: In preparing these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management had to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates, and the reported revenues and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Such estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently adopted Accounting Standards: On January 1, 2019, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“the FASB”) ASC Topic 842, Leases (ASC 842) (the “new lease standard”), using a modified retrospective transition approach with application as of the effective date of initial application without restating comparative period financial statements. The core principle of the new lease standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases, including operating leases, in the statement of financial position. We elected to apply the package of practical expedients to our adoption of the new lease standard, which includes allowing us to continue utilizing historical classification of leases. We did not elect the practical expedient that permits a reassessment of lease terms for existing leases. Upon our transition to the new lease standard, we recognized $2.1 million and $1.9 million of operating lease liabilities and corresponding right of use (“ROU”) assets, respectively. The adoption of the new lease standard did not have an impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For additional information about our leases, see Note 13, “Leases” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On January 1, 2019, we adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07—Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this ASU applied to any entity that enters into share-based payment transactions with nonemployees. The new guidance eliminated the requirement to revalue nonemployee share-based transactions on a recurring quarterly basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2018-02—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . The amendments in this ASU applied to any entity that has items of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) for which the related tax effects are presented in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), as previously required by GAAP. This ASU permitted a one-time reclassification from AOCI to Retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Jobs Act”) enacted on December 22, 2017. The adoption of this ASU resulted in a one-time reclassification of $0.1 million from AOCI to Retained earnings, which was recorded in the current period. For the impact of this adoption, see Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, located in Part I, Item I - Financial Statements. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12 — Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . The amendments in this ASU applied to any entity that elects to apply hedge accounting and is intended to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships. The ASU amends effectiveness testing requirements, income statement presentation and disclosures and permits additional risk management strategies to qualify for hedge accounting. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Accounting guidance not yet adopted: In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-02—Entertainment—Films-Other Assets-Film Costs (Subtopic 926-20): Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films. The updated guidance aligns the accounting for production costs of episodic television series with those of films, allowing for costs to be capitalized in excess of amounts of revenue contracted for each episode. The updated guidance also updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements for capitalized film and television costs, and requires impairment testing to be performed at a group level for capitalized film and television costs when the content is predominately monetized with other owned or licensed content. The updated guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of determining the impact, if any, that the updated accounting guidance will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
