Summary of Significant Accounting Polices | Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair statement of these interim statements, have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year or for any other period. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Use of Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to use judgment to make estimates that directly affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates are used for items including, but not limited to, the useful lives and residual values of our rental equipment, business combinations, and determining the valuation allowance related to deferred income taxes. In addition, estimates are used to test both long-lived assets, goodwill, and indefinite-lived assets for impairment, and to determine the fair value of impaired assets, if any impairment exists. These estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis using information currently available, and we revise our recorded estimates as updated information becomes available, facts and circumstances change, or actual amounts become determinable. Actual results could differ from our estimates. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Leases The Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") new guidance to account for leases (“Topic 842”) by entities that are lessees, requires (1) recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, and (2) disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 provides two classifications for leases: financing or operating. Finance leases. The accounting and recognition for leases qualifying as finance leases is similar to the accounting and recognition required under ASC Topic 840, Leases (“Topic 840”), for capital leases. As of March 31, 2021, we have capital lease obligations of approximately $9.6 million. When we make our contractually required payments under the capital leases, we allocate a portion to reduce the capital lease obligation and a portion is recognized as interest expense. The assets leased under the capital leases are included in rental equipment, and depreciation thereon is recognized in cost of rental revenue. Operating leases. Under Topic 842, operating leases result in the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Under Topic 842, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date and measured based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU assets will also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Lease expense under Topic 842 will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Upon adoption of Topic 842, it is expected that operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities that reflect the present value of these future payments related to Nesco Holdings will be in the range of $7.9 million to $8.9 million. We will adopt Topic 842 in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of losing emerging growth company status and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the period of adoption. A modified retrospective approach is required for adoption for all leases that exist at or commence after the date of initial application with an option to use certain practical expedients. We expect to use the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. Under Topic 842, lessor accounting will remain substantially similar to the current accounting; however, certain refinements were made to conform the standard with the recently issued revenue recognition guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), specifically related to the allocation and recognition of contract consideration earned from lease and non-lease revenue components. On July 30, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which created a practical expedient that provides lessors an option not to separate lease and non-lease components when certain criteria are met and instead account for those components as a single lease component. We are currently in the process of evaluating whether our lease arrangements will meet the criteria under the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component, which would alleviate the requirement upon adoption of Topic 842 that we reallocate or separately present lease and non-lease components. Measurement of Current Expected Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 (the “ASU”), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The ASU adds to GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss, or “CECL,” model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is intended to result in the more timely recognition of losses. Under the CECL model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications) from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. Measurement of expected credit losses are to be based on relevant forecasts that affect collectability. The scope of financial assets within the CECL methodology is broad and includes trade receivables from certain revenue transactions and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. While our review is ongoing, we believe the ASU will only have applicability to our receivables from non-leasing revenue transactions, as the ASU does not apply to receivables arising from operating leases. At the point that non-leasing trade receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses on receivables over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. We are currently evaluating whether the new guidance, while limited to our non-operating lease trade receivables, will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-13 must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings (deficit) in the period of adoption. We will adopt the ASU in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of losing emerging growth company status. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , intended to simplify the subsequent accounting for goodwill acquired in a business combination. Prior guidance required utilizing a two-step process to review goodwill for impairment. A second step was required if there was an indication that an impairment may exist, and the second step required calculating the potential impairment by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill (as if purchase accounting were performed on the testing date) to the carrying amount of the goodwill. The new guidance eliminates the second step from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and then recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value (although the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit). We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021; however, as discused in Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets , there was no impairment of goodwill in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Accordingly, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue in accordance with two different accounting standards: (1) Topic 606 and (2) Topic 840, which addresses lease accounting, for which we will adopt an update to this standard (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective approach, as described above. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized rental revenue in accordance with Topic 840, Leases, which is the lease accounting standard. Under Topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. A “performance obligation” is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under Topic 606. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services. As reflected below, most of our revenue is accounted for under Topic 840. Our contracts with customers generally do not include multiple performance obligations. The table below presents our revenue types based on the accounting standard used to determine the accounting. Three Months Ended March 31, Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 (in $000s) Topic 840 Topic 606 Total Topic 840 Topic 606 Total Rental: Rental revenue $ 46,186 $ — $ 46,186 $ 48,913 $ — $ 48,913 Shipping and handling — 2,103 2,103 — 2,081 2,081 Total rental revenue 46,186 2,103 48,289 48,913 2,081 50,994 Sales and services: Sales of rental equipment — 10,485 10,485 — 9,093 9,093 Sales of new equipment — 7,502 7,502 — 7,577 7,577 Parts and services — 12,023 12,023 — 14,079 14,079 Total sales and services — 30,010 30,010 — 30,749 30,749 Total revenue $ 46,186 $ 32,113 $ 78,299 $ 48,913 $ 32,830 $ 81,743 Rental revenue is primarily comprised of revenues from rental agreements and freight charges billed to customers, as well as charges to customers for damaged equipment, which is assessed and billed at the time a rental asset is returned to the Company. Inventory Parts, tools, and accessories inventory is primarily composed of items purchased for resale or rent to customers. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, in connection with a new inventory management system, we elected to change our method for these inventories, which were previously valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, to the moving average cost method. We believe the change is preferable because it better reflects movement of the inventory and the corresponding value which provides a better reflection of periodic income from operations. This change was not applied retrospectively to prior periods, as the effect of the change was not material to our consolidated financial statements, including interim periods. Also included within parts, tools, and accessories inventory are materials and components that we carry to service our rental fleet and new equipment held for sale. These materials and components are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Equipment inventory consists of equipment bought specifically for resale to customers. These new purchases are recorded directly to inventory when received. Equipment inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a specific identification basis. Inventory consisted of the following: (in $000s) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Parts, tools, and accessories inventory $ 30,520 $ 28,091 Equipment inventory 3,145 3,276 Inventory $ 33,665 $ 31,367 Rental and Property and Equipment Rental equipment consisted of the following: (in $000s) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Rental equipment $ 648,317 $ 654,547 Less: accumulated depreciation (324,612) (318,735) Rental equipment, net $ 323,705 $ 335,812 Property and equipment consisted of the following: (in $000s) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Property and equipment $ 12,099 $ 11,816 Less: accumulated depreciation (8,356) (8,137) Construction in progress 13 2,590 Property and equipment, net $ 3,756 $ 6,269 |
