Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business SiteOne Landscape Supply, Inc. (hereinafter collectively with all its consolidated subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”) is a supplier of irrigation, landscape lighting, hardscapes, lawn care supplies, nursery stock, and landscape accessories to green industry professionals. The Company currently has over 450 stores. Substantially all of the Company’s sales are to customers located in the United States of America (“U.S.”), with less than two percent of sales and total assets in Canada for all periods presented. Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customers’ business cycles, sales are significantly higher in the spring and summer months. Common Stock Split On April 29, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to amend and restate the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in the State of Delaware, effecting an 11.6181 for 1 common stock split. Each stockholder’s percentage ownership and proportional voting power remained unchanged as a result of the stock split. All applicable share data, per share amounts and related information in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the 11.6181 for 1 common stock split. Refinancing of Term Loan and Special Cash Dividend On April 29, 2016, the Company refinanced the existing term loan facility (the “Prior Term Loan Facility”) with an amended and restated $275.0 million term loan facility maturing in April 2022 (the “Amended Term Loan Facility”). On April 29, 2016, the proceeds from the Amended Term Loan Facility were used to repay all $60.3 million of borrowings outstanding under the Prior Term Loan Facility, to repay $29.9 million of borrowings outstanding under the senior asset-based credit facility (the “ABL Facility”), and to pay fees and expenses associated with the refinancing transaction. On May 2, 2016, a one-time special cash dividend of $176.0 million was paid to existing holders of the Company’s common stock and cumulative convertible participating redeemable preferred stock (“Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock”) as of April 29, 2016 out of the proceeds from the Amended Term Loan Facility. Of the $176.0 million paid to stockholders, $112.4 million was paid to holders of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with their right to participate in all distributions to common stockholders on an as-converted basis. The Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock converted to common stock in accordance with its terms on May 16, 2016 resulting in the issuance by the Company of an additional 25,303,164 shares of its common stock which common shares are included in the weighted average common shares outstanding from that date forward. Prior to May 16, 2016, the Company’s earnings (loss) per share calculation reflected the impact of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. Since the special cash dividend was paid prior to conversion of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, the $112.4 million is reported as a reduction of net income attributable to common shares during the three and six months ended July 3, 2016. In conjunction with the payment of the special cash dividend, the Company reduced the exercise price of certain outstanding options and made a cash payment of $2.8 million to certain holders of options to offset the dilutive impact of the special cash dividend. Initial Public Offering On May 11, 2016, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-206444) relating to an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). On May 17, 2016, the Company completed the IPO at a price to the public of $21.00 per share. In connection with the IPO, certain of the Company’s stockholders sold an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. The underwriters also exercised their option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The selling stockholders received all of the net proceeds and bore all commissions and discounts from the sale of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the IPO. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) as applicable to interim financial reporting. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed financial information for the interim periods presented includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Certain information and disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2016 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2016 included in the Company’s Form S-1/A (Amendment No. 4 to Form S-1) filed with SEC on May 2, 2016 (the “2015 Annual Financial Statements”). The interim period financial results for the three and six months periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The fiscal year ending January 1, 2017 includes 52 weeks and the fiscal year ended January 3, 2016 includes 53 weeks. The three months ended July 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015 both include 13 weeks, and the six months ended July 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015 both include 26 weeks. Principles of Consolidation The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities used in operating the Company’s business, including entities in which the Company owns or controls more than 50% of the voting shares. The Company owns 100% of all subsidiaries presented in these financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Significant Accounting Policies There were no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies for the six months ended July 3, 2016 from those disclosed in the 2015 Annual Financial Statements. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update, (“ASU”) No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations . This ASU requires that acquiring entities recognize measurement period adjustments in the reporting period the amounts are determined, including earnings adjustments that would have been recorded in previous periods if the adjustments were known at the acquisition date. Acquiring entities are no longer required to retrospectively adjust amounts in comparative periods. The adjustment amounts and reasons are still disclosed. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 when it became effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends existing revenue recognition standards and establishes a new ASC Topic 606. The core principle of this amendment is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for these goods or services. This standard is effective for public entities’ annual reporting periods ended beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods ended within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods ended beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods ended within that reporting period. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, allowing for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption of the new standard. The Company is evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU No. 2014-09. The Company has not selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”) to simplify the guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory, excluding inventory measured using last-in, first out, or the retail inventory method. Under the new standard, inventory should be at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ended beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2015-11. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendment is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard and the impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the standard and the impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance must be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the standard and the impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |
