ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of Jack Cooper Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (“we,” the “Company” or “JCHC”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Commission File Number 333-210698, effective May 11, 2016) (the “Registration Statement”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the prospectus contained therein. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Organization and Business Overview The Company is a transportation and logistics provider and a leading over-the-road finished vehicle logistics company in North America. The Company provides premium asset and non-asset based solutions to the global new and used vehicle markets, specializing in light vehicle transportation and other logistics services for major automotive original equipment manufacturers and for fleet ownership and remarketing companies. The Company offers a broad, complementary suite of asset and non-asset based transportation and logistics solutions, and operates through a fleet of 2,347 active rigs and a network of 57 strategically located terminals across North America as of March 31, 2016. The Company believes its scale and full range of over-the-road transportation and value-added logistics services, offered in over 85 locations across the U.S., Canada and Mexico, allow it to operate efficiently and deliver superior customer service, which the Company believes gives it a competitive advantage in maintaining and winning new business. Revenue The Company primarily earns revenues under multi-year or single-year contracts from the intrastate and interstate transportation of vehicles. Approximately 45% , 34% , and 13% of the Company’s revenues were from its three largest customers, General Motors Company, Ford Motor Company, and Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc., respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 38%, 29%, and 16%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. These customers also represented approximately 67 % and 69% of accounts receivable at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2.4 million and $1.8 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and other indefinite-life intangible assets not subject to amortization are evaluated annually as of November 30 for impairment, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. In assessing indefinite lived assets not subject to amortization, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite lived assets exceeds its carrying values. If the qualitative assessment is inconclusive, the Company performs Step 1 of a two-step process to compare the fair value of the indefinite lived assets to its carrying values. If Step 1 indicates the fair value is less than the carrying value, the Company performs Step 2 of the assessment to determine the difference between the implied fair value of the indefinite lived assets and the carrying amounts. In assessing goodwill for impairment, the Company initially evaluates qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment is not conclusive and it is necessary to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit, then a two-step process is utilized to test goodwill for impairment. First, a comparison of the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with the aggregate carrying value, including goodwill, is performed utilizing an income approach and market approach. The income approach develops an estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow, where the estimated fair value is calculated by discounting projected future cash flows. The market approach compares actual market transactions of businesses that are similar to those of the Company’s reporting units. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step includes comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. Some of the key assumptions utilized in determining future projected cash flows include estimated growth rates, expected future pricing and costs, the weighted average cost of capital and discount rates, and future capital expenditures requirements. In addition, market multiples of publicly traded guideline companies are also considered. The Company considers the relative strengths and weaknesses inherent in the valuation methodologies utilized in each approach and consults with a third party valuation specialist to assist in determining the fair value. Any one event or a combination of events such as a change in the business climate, a negative change in relationships with significant customers, and changes to strategic decisions, could require an interim assessment prior to the next required annual assessment. No impairment was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Foreign Currency The Company’s financial condition and results of operations are recorded in multiple currencies, including the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso, and the Company has an accounts receivable balance denominated in Nigerian naira. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar were translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses were translated at average exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses on certain of the Company’s intercompany loans are included in Other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss due to the intercompany loans not being considered long-term investment in nature. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include those related to workers’ compensation insurance, pension withdrawal liabilities, allowance for doubtful accounts, the recoverability and useful lives of assets, litigation provisions and income taxes. Estimates are revised when facts and circumstances change. As such, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which provides for simplification of certain aspects of employee share-based payment accounting including income taxes, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years and will be applied either prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified retrospective transition approach depending on the area covered in this update. The Company is currently evaluating the effect adoption of this update will have on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right of use asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. The update also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted. This update will be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into, after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effect adoption of this update will have on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest, which amends the current guidance to change the manner in which debt issuance costs are presented on an entity’s balance sheet. This new guidance requires the Company to present debt issuance costs related to recognized debt liabilities on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, as opposed to the previous guidance that provides for presentation of the cost of issuing debt as a separate asset. ASU 2015-03 required retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This new guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. As a result of adopting this standard on January 1, 2016, deferred financing costs of $10.1 million as of December 31, 2015, previously reported within long-term assets, were reclassified to long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2016, $9.5 million of deferred financing costs are reported within long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation, which amends the current consolidation guidance to change the manner in which a reporting entity assesses certain characteristics used to determine if an entity is a variable interest entity. This new guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016, with early adoption permitted, including in any interim period. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016 and the adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance will be applicable to the Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2016 and the Company expects to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have any impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition. This guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This guidance also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB agreed to a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition guidance so that it is now effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The new guidance will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2018 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effect adoption of this update will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
