Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||
Summary of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies | -1 | Summary of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies | |||
(a) | Business Activities and Organization | ||||
Continental Cement Company, L.L.C. ( “Continental Cement”) produces Portland cement at its plant located in Hannibal, Missouri. Cement distribution terminals are maintained in Hannibal and St. Louis, Missouri and Bettendorf, Iowa. Continental Cement’s primary customers are ready-mixed concrete and concrete products producers and contractors located in the Midwestern United States. | |||||
Green America Recycling, L.L.C. (“GAR”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Continental Cement, is engaged in the business of securing, processing and blending hazardous and nonhazardous waste materials primarily for use as supplemental fuels in Continental Cement’s manufacturing process. GAR’s primary customers are commercial transportation disposal facilities and petroleum and chemical manufacturers located in the continental United States. | |||||
Continental Cement, a Delaware limited liability company, is governed by the Amended and Restated Continental Cement Limited Liability Company Agreement (as amended, the “LLC Agreement”). As such, liability of the Continental Cement’s members is generally limited to the amount of their net investment in Continental Cement. Continental Cement is an indirect non–wholly owned subsidiary of Summit Materials, LLC (“Summit Materials”). | |||||
In 2013, Continental Cement changed its fiscal year from a calendar year to a 52-53 week year with each quarter composed of 13 weeks ending on a Saturday, consistent with that of Summit Materials. Continental Cement’s fiscal year end in 2014 and 2013 was December 27 and December 28, respectively, compared to the calendar year ended December 31 in 2012. The effect of this change to Continental Cement’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity was immaterial. | |||||
(b) | Principles of Consolidation | ||||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Continental Cement and its wholly owned subsidiary, GAR (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. | |||||
(c) | Use of Estimates | ||||
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement obligations, asset retirement obligations and the redeemable members’ interest. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimates made. Changes in estimates, including those resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the change in estimate occurs. | |||||
(d) | Business and Credit Concentrations | ||||
The Company’s customers are primarily located in Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. The Company’s accounts receivable balances are due primarily from ready-mixed concrete and concrete products producers and contractors within this area. Collection of these accounts is therefore dependent on the economic conditions of the area. However, credit granted within the Company’s trade area has been granted to a wide variety of customers, and management does not believe that any significant concentrations of credit exist with respect to individual customers or groups of customers who are engaged in similar activities that would be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. The Company had approximately 15%, 16% and 13%, of cement sales with companies owned by a certain minority owner of the Company for the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. | |||||
(e) | Accounts Receivable | ||||
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollected amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the status of individual accounts. In establishing the allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, the current receivables aging and current payment terms. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts have not been material to the consolidated financial statements. | |||||
(f) | Revenue Recognition | ||||
Revenue from the sale of cement is recognized when evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, title passes, which is generally when the product is shipped, and collection is reasonably assured. Cement sales are recorded net of discounts, allowances and sales taxes, as applicable. The Company records freight revenue on a net basis together with freight costs within cost of sales. | |||||
Revenue from the receipt of waste fuels is recognized when the waste is accepted and a corresponding liability is recognized for the costs to process the waste into fuel for the manufacturing of cement or to ship the waste offsite for disposal in accordance with applicable regulations. | |||||
(g) | Inventories | ||||
Inventories of raw materials, work in process and finished goods are carried at the lower of cost (determined using the average cost method) or market. If items become obsolete or otherwise unusable, they will be charged to costs of production when that determination is made by management. | |||||
(h) | Property, Plant and Equipment, net | ||||
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and depletion. Expenditures for additions and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs that do not substantially expand productive capacity or extend the life of property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred. | |||||
Upon disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any gain or loss is included in general and administrative expenses. | |||||
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis. These estimated useful lives are as follows: | |||||
Buildings and improvements | 7—40 years | ||||
Plant, machinery and equipment | 20—40 years | ||||
Mobile equipment and barges | 15—20 years | ||||
Office equipment | 3—6 years | ||||
Other | 2—10 years | ||||
Depletion of mineral reserves is calculated over proven and probable reserves by the units of production method on a site-by-site basis. | |||||
Property, plant and equipment is tested for impairment at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. As a result, the property, plant and equipment impairment test may be at a significantly lower level than the level at which goodwill is tested for impairment. The lowest level of largely independent identifiable cash flows is at the cement operations. Assets are assessed for impairment charges when identified for disposition. Projected losses from disposition are recognized in the period in which they become estimable, which may be in advance of the actual disposition. | |||||
The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, considering the estimated future cash flows from its use and eventual disposition. Such indicators may include, among others, deterioration in general economic conditions, negative developments in equity and credit markets, adverse changes in the markets in which an entity operates, increases in input costs that have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows or a trend of negative or declining cash flows over multiple periods. | |||||
(i) | Accrued Mining Reclamation | ||||
The Company's mining reclamation obligations are based on management’s estimate of future cost requirements to reclaim property at quarry sites. Estimates of these obligations have been developed based on management’s interpretation of current requirements and proposed regulatory changes and are intended to approximate fair value. The obligations were estimated based on reclamation costs at the time of the estimate, inflated until the expected time of payment using an inflation rate of 2.5%, and then discounted back to present value using a risk-free rate on obligations of similar maturity, adjusted to reflect the Company’s credit rating. Changes in the credit-adjusted, risk-free rate do not change recorded liabilities. However, subsequent increases in the recognized obligations are measured using a current credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Decreases in the recognized obligations are measured at the initial credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. | |||||
Significant changes in inflation rates or the amount or timing of future cost estimates typically result in both (1) a current adjustment to the recorded liability (and corresponding adjustment to the asset) and (2) a change in accretion of the liability and depreciation of the asset to be recorded prospectively over the remaining capacity of the unmined quarry. | |||||
(j) | Goodwill | ||||
Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired and was $24.1 million as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment and whenever events or circumstances change that would make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. | |||||
The Company performs an annual impairment analysis as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year for its one reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test first uses a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is determined that an impairment is more likely than not, the two-step quantitative impairment test is then performed, otherwise further analysis is not required. The two-step quantitative impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. Management estimates the fair value of the reporting unit primarily based on the discounted projected cash flows of the underlying operations. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are required to forecast operating cash flows, including macroeconomic trends in the private construction and public infrastructure industries, expected success in securing future sales and the appropriate interest rate used to discount the projected cash flows. During the 2014 qualitative review of goodwill, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the Company exceeded its carrying value and during the 2013 quantitative review of goodwill, management concluded that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was substantially in excess of its carrying value, resulting in no indication of impairment. The Company has recorded no goodwill impairment charges to date. | |||||
(k) | Income Taxes | ||||
Continental Cement and GAR are limited liability companies that pass their tax attributes for federal and state tax purposes to their members and are generally not subject to federal or state income tax. | |||||
(l) | Reclassifications | ||||
Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior periods to conform to the presentation in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 27, 2014. |

Equity [Abstract] | ||
Members' Interest | -7 | Members’ Interest |
Business affairs of the Company are managed by a board of directors (the “Board”) composed of up to seven Directors. As of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, Summit Materials was entitled to appoint four directors to the Board and members representing the noncontrolling interest were entitled to appoint three directors to the Board. Any director may be removed from the Board with or without cause at any time by the directors entitled to appoint such Director. The LLC Agreement provides that resolutions of the Board generally require the consent of at least a majority of the Directors. | ||
Summit Materials indirectly owns 100 Class A Units of Continental Cement, which represent an approximately 70% economic interest in the Company and have a preference in liquidation to the Class B Units. The non-contolling members own 100,000,000 Class B Units, which represent an approximately 30% economic interest. | ||
Continental Cement’s Class A Units include a cumulative distribution preference which requires, to the extent distributions are authorized by its Board of Directors, that Continental Cement Class A Units receive, prior to any distributions to the Class B Unitholders (the “Class B Unitholders”), a priority return of 11% accruing daily and compounding annually on each anniversary of the date of issuance to Class A Unitholders. To the extent the priority return is not made in a given year, the amount of the priority return will increase the liquidation preference of the Class A Units up to an 80% allowable sharing percentage in distributions and liquidation proceeds. Summit Materials indirectly holds all the Class A Units. | ||
The LLC Agreement provides Summit Materials with a call right that allows it to require Continental Cement to call the Class B Units at a strike price that approximates fair value. The call right is exercisable after May 2016 either in anticipation of an initial public offering of Summit Materials or if an initial public offering of Summit Materials has already occurred. The Class B Unitholders also have a put right that allows them to put the Class B Units to Continental Cement at a strike price that approximates fair value. The put right is exercisable prior to May 2016 upon a sale of control of Summit Materials or at any time after May 2016. The LLC Agreement also includes transfer restrictions that prohibit the Class B Unitholders from transferring their units to third parties without the consent of the board of directors of Continental Cement. | ||
Because the Class B Units can be put to Continental Cement in the future based on the passage of time, which can be accelerated upon the occurrence of a contingent event, their interests are classified in temporary equity. The redemption value is based upon the estimated fair value of the Company, which is valued using Level 3 inputs. The Company has elected to accrete changes in the redemption value of the redeemable interest over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest anticipated redemption date of the instrument, which was May 2016 as of December 27, 2014, using an interest method. The accretion is an adjustment to the consolidated retained earnings and increased in the third quarter of 2014 consistent with the redemption value increase to an estimated $65.1 million. During 2014, the Company performed an indirect valuation of the Class B Units. The valuation was based on unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, including an assumption on the timing of settlement and projected cash flows. A significant change in these inputs could result in a material increase, or decrease, in the redemption value of the Class B Units. | ||
Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, the Class B Unitholders have the right to elect to rollover their interests in Continental Cement in connection with an initial public offering of Summit Materials Holdings, L.P.(“Summit Holdings”), an indirect parent of Summit Materials, or a parent entity of Summit Holdings. In December 2014, Summit Holdings entered into a contribution and purchase agreement with the Class B Unitholders for a value consistent with the redemption value referenced above. Concurrently with the consummation of an initial public offering of Summit Materials, Inc., which will become the direct parent of Summit Holdings upon consummation of the proposed initial public offering, the Class B Unitholders will contribute 28,571,429 of the Class B Units of Continental Cement in exchange for units of Summit Owner Holdco LLC, an entity that as a result of the transactions contemplated by the contribution and purchase agreement, will hold a number of shares of Class A common stock of Summit Materials, Inc. that is equal to 1.469496% of the number of outstanding Summit Holdings LP units immediately prior to giving effect to any LP units issued in connection with an initial public offering and the Class B Unitholders will deliver the remaining 71,428,571 Class B Units of Continental Cement to Summit Holdings in exchange for a payment to be made by Summit Holdings in the amount of $35.0 million in cash and $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of non-interest bearing notes that will be payable in six aggregate annual installments of $2.5 million, beginning on the first anniversary of the closing of the initial public offering. |

Employee Benefit Plans | -8 | Employee Benefit Plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Deferred Compensation Plan | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company sponsors an Employee 401(k) Savings Plan for all salaried employees and certain union employees. The plan provides for various required and discretionary Company matches of employees’ eligible compensation contributed to the plan and a discretionary profit sharing contribution as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s contributions to the plan were $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Continental Cement sponsors two noncontributory defined benefit pension plans for hourly and salaried employees. The plans are closed to new participants and benefits are frozen. Pension benefits for eligible hourly employees are based on a monthly pension factor for each year of credited service. Pension benefits for eligible salaried employees are generally based on years of service and average eligible compensation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Continental Cement also sponsors unfunded healthcare and life insurance benefits plans for certain eligible retired employees. Effective January 1, 2014, the plan was amended to eliminate all future retiree health and life coverage for employees. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The funded status of the pension and other postretirement benefit plans is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligations. For defined benefit pension plans, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) and for the healthcare and life insurance benefits plans, the benefit obligation is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”). The PBO represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement based on estimated future compensation levels. However, since the plans’ participants are not subject to future compensation increases, the plans’ PBO equals the APBO. The APBO represents the actuarial present value of postretirement benefits attributed to employee services already rendered. The fair value of plan assets represents the current market value of assets held by an irrevocable trust fund for the sole benefit of participants. The measurement of the benefit obligations are based on the Company’s estimates and actuarial valuations. These valuations reflect the terms of the plan and use participant-specific information, such as compensation, age and years of service, as well as certain assumptions that require significant judgment, including estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets, rate of compensation increases, interest-crediting rates and mortality rates. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company uses its fiscal year-end as the measurement date for its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Plan Assets—The defined benefit pension plans’ (the “Plans”) investment strategy is to minimize investment risk while generating acceptable returns. The Plans currently invest a relatively high proportion of their assets in fixed income securities, while the remainder is invested in equity securities, cash reserves and precious metals. The equity securities are diversified into funds with growth and value investment strategies. The target allocation for plan assets is as follows: fixed income securities –63%; equity securities – 30%; cash reserves –5%; and precious metals –2%. The Plans’ current investment allocations are within the tolerance of the target allocation. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair value determinations are based on the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted prices, for similar assets or liabilities in active markets | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 3—Unobservable inputs, which includes the use of valuation models | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company had no Level 3 investments as of or during the years ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
At December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Plans’ assets were invested predominantly in publicly traded fixed-income securities and equities, but may invest in other asset classes in the future subject to the parameters of the investment policy. The Plans’ investments in fixed-income assets include U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency securities and corporate bonds. The Plans’ investments in equities include U.S. and international securities and equity funds. The Company estimates the fair value of the Plans’ assets using various valuation techniques and, to the extent available, quoted market prices in active markets or observable market inputs. The descriptions and fair value methodologies for the Plans’ assets are as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fixed Income Securities – Corporate and government bonds are classified as Level 2 assets, as they are either valued at quoted market prices from observable pricing sources at the reporting date or valued based upon comparable securities with similar yields and credit ratings. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Equity Securities — Equity securities are valued at the closing market price reported on a U.S. exchange where the security is actively traded and are therefore classified as Level 1 assets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash - The carrying amounts of cash approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Precious Metals — Precious metals are valued at the closing market price reported on a U.S. exchange where the security is actively traded and are therefore classified as Level 1 assets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The fair value of the Plans’ assets by asset class and fair value hierarchy level as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company is party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. In the opinion of management, these actions are without merit or that the ultimate disposition, if any, resulting from them will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company’s policy is to record legal fees as incurred. | ||
In February 2011, the Company incurred a property loss related to a sunken barge with cement product aboard. As of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company had a $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, accrual for the estimated remaining costs to remove the barge. | ||
Environmental Remediation | ||
The Company’s manufacturing operations are subject to and affected by Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, health and safety and other regulatory matters. These operations require environmental operating permits, which are subject to modification, renewal and revocation. The Company regularly monitors and reviews its operations, procedures and policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is inherent in the operation of Continental Cement’s business, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses and there can be no assurance that environmental liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future. | ||
Other | ||
The Company is obligated under various firm purchase commitments for certain raw materials and services that are in the ordinary course of business. Management does not expect any significant changes in the market value of these goods and services during the commitment period that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. The terms of the purchase commitments are generally less than one year. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||
Business Activities and Organization | (a) | Business Activities and Organization | |||
Continental Cement Company, L.L.C. ( “Continental Cement”) produces Portland cement at its plant located in Hannibal, Missouri. Cement distribution terminals are maintained in Hannibal and St. Louis, Missouri and Bettendorf, Iowa. Continental Cement’s primary customers are ready-mixed concrete and concrete products producers and contractors located in the Midwestern United States. | |||||
Green America Recycling, L.L.C. (“GAR”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Continental Cement, is engaged in the business of securing, processing and blending hazardous and nonhazardous waste materials primarily for use as supplemental fuels in Continental Cement’s manufacturing process. GAR’s primary customers are commercial transportation disposal facilities and petroleum and chemical manufacturers located in the continental United States. | |||||
Continental Cement, a Delaware limited liability company, is governed by the Amended and Restated Continental Cement Limited Liability Company Agreement (as amended, the “LLC Agreement”). As such, liability of the Continental Cement’s members is generally limited to the amount of their net investment in Continental Cement. Continental Cement is an indirect non–wholly owned subsidiary of Summit Materials, LLC (“Summit Materials”). | |||||
In 2013, Continental Cement changed its fiscal year from a calendar year to a 52-53 week year with each quarter composed of 13 weeks ending on a Saturday, consistent with that of Summit Materials. Continental Cement’s fiscal year end in 2014 and 2013 was December 27 and December 28, respectively, compared to the calendar year ended December 31 in 2012. The effect of this change to Continental Cement’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity was immaterial. | |||||
Principles of Consolidation | (b) | Principles of Consolidation | |||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Continental Cement and its wholly owned subsidiary, GAR (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. | |||||
Use of Estimates | (c) | Use of Estimates | |||
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement obligations, asset retirement obligations and the redeemable members’ interest. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimates made. Changes in estimates, including those resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the change in estimate occurs. | |||||
Business and Credit Concentrations | (d) | Business and Credit Concentrations | |||
The Company’s customers are primarily located in Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. The Company’s accounts receivable balances are due primarily from ready-mixed concrete and concrete products producers and contractors within this area. Collection of these accounts is therefore dependent on the economic conditions of the area. However, credit granted within the Company’s trade area has been granted to a wide variety of customers, and management does not believe that any significant concentrations of credit exist with respect to individual customers or groups of customers who are engaged in similar activities that would be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. The Company had approximately 15%, 16% and 13%, of cement sales with companies owned by a certain minority owner of the Company for the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. | |||||
Accounts Receivable | (e) | Accounts Receivable | |||
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollected amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the status of individual accounts. In establishing the allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, the current receivables aging and current payment terms. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts have not been material to the consolidated financial statements. | |||||
Revenue Recognition | (f) | Revenue Recognition | |||
Revenue from the sale of cement is recognized when evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, title passes, which is generally when the product is shipped, and collection is reasonably assured. Cement sales are recorded net of discounts, allowances and sales taxes, as applicable. The Company records freight revenue on a net basis together with freight costs within cost of sales. | |||||
Revenue from the receipt of waste fuels is recognized when the waste is accepted and a corresponding liability is recognized for the costs to process the waste into fuel for the manufacturing of cement or to ship the waste offsite for disposal in accordance with applicable regulations. | |||||
Inventories | (g) | Inventories | |||
Inventories of raw materials, work in process and finished goods are carried at the lower of cost (determined using the average cost method) or market. If items become obsolete or otherwise unusable, they will be charged to costs of production when that determination is made by management. | |||||
Property, Plant and Equipment, net | (h) | Property, Plant and Equipment, net | |||
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and depletion. Expenditures for additions and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs that do not substantially expand productive capacity or extend the life of property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred. | |||||
Upon disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any gain or loss is included in general and administrative expenses. | |||||
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis. These estimated useful lives are as follows: | |||||
Buildings and improvements | 7—40 years | ||||
Plant, machinery and equipment | 20—40 years | ||||
Mobile equipment and barges | 15—20 years | ||||
Office equipment | 3—6 years | ||||
Other | 2—10 years | ||||
Depletion of mineral reserves is calculated over proven and probable reserves by the units of production method on a site-by-site basis. | |||||
Property, plant and equipment is tested for impairment at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. As a result, the property, plant and equipment impairment test may be at a significantly lower level than the level at which goodwill is tested for impairment. The lowest level of largely independent identifiable cash flows is at the cement operations. Assets are assessed for impairment charges when identified for disposition. Projected losses from disposition are recognized in the period in which they become estimable, which may be in advance of the actual disposition. | |||||
The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, considering the estimated future cash flows from its use and eventual disposition. Such indicators may include, among others, deterioration in general economic conditions, negative developments in equity and credit markets, adverse changes in the markets in which an entity operates, increases in input costs that have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows or a trend of negative or declining cash flows over multiple periods. | |||||
Accrued Mining Reclamation | (i) | Accrued Mining Reclamation | |||
The Company's mining reclamation obligations are based on management’s estimate of future cost requirements to reclaim property at quarry sites. Estimates of these obligations have been developed based on management’s interpretation of current requirements and proposed regulatory changes and are intended to approximate fair value. The obligations were estimated based on reclamation costs at the time of the estimate, inflated until the expected time of payment using an inflation rate of 2.5%, and then discounted back to present value using a risk-free rate on obligations of similar maturity, adjusted to reflect the Company’s credit rating. Changes in the credit-adjusted, risk-free rate do not change recorded liabilities. However, subsequent increases in the recognized obligations are measured using a current credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Decreases in the recognized obligations are measured at the initial credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. | |||||
Significant changes in inflation rates or the amount or timing of future cost estimates typically result in both (1) a current adjustment to the recorded liability (and corresponding adjustment to the asset) and (2) a change in accretion of the liability and depreciation of the asset to be recorded prospectively over the remaining capacity of the unmined quarry. | |||||
Goodwill | (j) | Goodwill | |||
Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired and was $24.1 million as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment and whenever events or circumstances change that would make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. | |||||
The Company performs an annual impairment analysis as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each fiscal year for its one reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test first uses a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is determined that an impairment is more likely than not, the two-step quantitative impairment test is then performed, otherwise further analysis is not required. The two-step quantitative impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. Management estimates the fair value of the reporting unit primarily based on the discounted projected cash flows of the underlying operations. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are required to forecast operating cash flows, including macroeconomic trends in the private construction and public infrastructure industries, expected success in securing future sales and the appropriate interest rate used to discount the projected cash flows. During the 2014 qualitative review of goodwill, management concluded that it was more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the Company exceeded its carrying value and during the 2013 quantitative review of goodwill, management concluded that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was substantially in excess of its carrying value, resulting in no indication of impairment. The Company has recorded no goodwill impairment charges to date. | |||||
Income Taxes | (k) | Income Taxes | |||
Continental Cement and GAR are limited liability companies that pass their tax attributes for federal and state tax purposes to their members and are generally not subject to federal or state income tax. | |||||
Reclassifications | (l) | Reclassifications | |||
Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior periods to conform to the presentation in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 27, 2014. |
