Organization and Basis of Presentation [Abstract] | |
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization Atlas Technical Consultants, Inc. (the “Company”, “We”, or “Atlas” and formerly named Boxwood Merger Corp. (“Boxwood”)) was a blank check company, incorporated in Delaware on June 28, 2017. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, recapitalization, or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets. On February 14, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated its acquisition of Atlas Intermediate Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Atlas Intermediate”), pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2019, as amended on January 22, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Atlas TC Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), Atlas TC Buyer LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings and a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), Atlas Intermediate and Atlas Technical Consultants Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Seller”). The acquisition of Atlas Intermediate pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is referred to herein as the “Atlas Business Combination.” Following the consummation of the Atlas Business Combination, the combined company is organized in an “Up-C” structure in which the business of Atlas Intermediate and its subsidiaries is held by Holdings and will continue to operate through the subsidiaries of Atlas Intermediate, and in which the Company’s only direct assets will consist of common units of Holdings (“Holdings Units”). The Company is the sole manager of Holdings in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Holdings (the “Holdings LLC Agreement”) entered into in connection with the consummation of the Atlas Business Combination. The Company has approximately 140 offices in 41 states, employs approximately 3,200 employees and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. The Company provides public and private sector clients with comprehensive support in managing large-scale infrastructure improvement programs including engineering, design, program development/management, compliance services, acquisition and project control services, as well as construction engineering and inspection and materials testing. Services are provided throughout the United States and its territories to a broad base of clients, with no single client representing 10% or more of our revenues for either the year ended December 31, 2020 or 2019. Services are rendered primarily on a time and materials and cost-plus basis with approximately 90% of our contracts on that basis and the remainder represented by firm fixed price contracts. Basis of Presentation The acquisition of Atlas Intermediate has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Atlas is treated as the acquired company and Atlas Intermediate is treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the consolidated financial results include information regarding Atlas Intermediate as the Company’s predecessor entity. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Atlas Intermediate prior to the Atlas Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the Company, which does not have any operating results and includes only certain costs such as the compensation for the Company’s Board, certain legal fees and taxes, and Atlas Intermediate following the Atlas Business Combination; (iii) the assets, liabilities and members’ capital of Atlas Intermediate at their historical costs; and (iv) the Company’s equity and earnings per share presented for the period from the Closing Date. Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act (as defined herein), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Reclassification Certain amounts reported in prior years in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. This reclassification did not have any impact to our reported net income or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019. Fiscal Year The Company’s subsidiaries report their results of operations based on 52 or 53-week periods ending on the Friday nearest but not subsequent to December 31st, while Atlas reports on a calendar year end. For clarity of presentation, all periods are presented as if the year ended on December 31. During each quarter, our subsidiaries close on the Friday closest to March 31, June 30, and September 30, and Atlas closes on the actual calendar day. The impact of the difference between these dates has been insignificant to date. The Company has appropriately eliminated all transactions between itself and its subsidiaries when presenting its Consolidated Balance Sheet. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounts Receivable and Accrued Billings The Company records its trade accounts receivable and unbilled receivables at their face amounts less allowances. On a periodic basis, the Company monitors the trade accounts receivable and unbilled receivables from its customers for any collectability issues. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on reviews of individual customer accounts, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. The Company writes off accounts after a determination has been made by management that the amounts at issue are no longer likely to be collected, following the exercise of reasonable collection efforts, and upon management’s determination that the costs of pursuing collection outweigh the likelihood of recovery. Payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the allowance for trade accounts receivable was $2.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, while the allowance for unbilled receivables was $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The allowances reflect the Company’s best estimate of collectability risks on outstanding receivables and unbilled services. Property and Equipment Purchases of new assets and costs of improvement to extend the useful life of existing assets are capitalized. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. When an asset is sold or retired, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and the resulting gains or losses on disposal are recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company depreciates its assets on a straight-line basis over the assets’ useful lives, which range from three to ten years. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment if the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. If an impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying amounts and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the respective fair values of the assets. There were no impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of net assets acquired over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, we evaluate goodwill annually for impairment on October 1, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired, using the quantitative method. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If we determine that this threshold is met, then performing the two-step quantitative impairment test is unnecessary. We may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test for any reporting unit. The two-step impairment test requires a comparison of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities associated with a reporting unit, including goodwill, with the fair value of the reporting unit. We determine fair value through the discounted cash flow method. We make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of our reporting units. If the carrying value of our reporting unit exceeds the fair value of our reporting unit, we would calculate the implied fair value as compared to the carrying value to determine the appropriate impairment charge, if any. There were no impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Revenue Recognition During the fourth quarter of 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), using the modified retrospective approach to all contracts that were not completed as of the beginning of fiscal year 2019. We utilize the portfolio method practical expedient, which allows companies to account for multiple contracts as a portfolio, instead of accounting for them on a contract by contract basis (commonly known as the contract method). For our time and materials contracts, we apply the as-invoiced practical expedient, which permits us to recognize revenue as the right to invoice for services performed. The new standard did not materially affect our consolidated net income, financial position, or cash flows. Below is a description of the basic types of contracts from which the Company may earn revenue: Time and Materials Contracts Under the time and materials (“T&M”) arrangements, contract fees are based upon time and materials incurred. The contracts may be structured as basic time and materials, cost plus a margin or time and materials subject to a maximum contract value (the “ceiling”). Due to the potential limitation of the contract’s ceiling, the economic factors of the contracts subject to a ceiling differ from the economic factors of basic T&M and cost plus contracts. The majority of the Company’s contracts are for projects where it bills the client monthly at hourly billing or unit rates. The billing rates are determined by contract terms. Under cost plus contracts, the Company charges its clients for contract related costs at cost, an agreed upon overhead rate plus a fixed fee or rate. Under time and materials contracts with a ceiling, the Company charges the clients for time and materials based upon the work performed however there is a ceiling or a not to exceed value. There are often instances that a contract is modified to extend the contract value past the original or amended ceiling. As the consideration is variable depending on the outcome of the contract renegotiation, the Company will estimate the total contract price in accordance with the variable consideration guidelines and will only include consideration that it expects to receive from the customer. When the Company is reaching the ceiling, the contract will be renegotiated, or we cease work when the maximum contract value is reached. The Company will continue to work if it is probable that the contract will be extended. The Company is only entitled to consideration for the work it has performed, and the ceiling amount is not a guaranteed contract value. The Company earned approximately 90% of its revenues under T&M contracts during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Fixed Price Contracts Under fixed price contracts, the Company’s clients pay an agreed amount negotiated in advance for a specified scope of work. The Company is guaranteed to receive the consideration to the extent that the Company delivers under the contract. The Company assesses contracts quarterly and may recognize any expected future loss before actually incurring the loss. When the Company is expecting to reach the total consideration under the contract, the Company will begin to negotiate a change order. Change Orders and Claims Change orders are modifications of an original contract that effectively change the provisions of the contract without adding new provisions. Either the Company or its client may initiate change orders. They may include changes in specifications or design, manner of performance, facilities, equipment, materials, sites and period of completion of the work. Management evaluates when a change order is probable based upon its experience in negotiating change orders, the customer’s written approval of such changes or separate documentation of change order costs that are identifiable. Change orders may take time to be formally documented and terms of such change orders are agreed with the client before the work is performed. Sometimes circumstances require that work progresses before an agreement is reached with the client. If the Company is having difficulties in renegotiating the change order, the Company will stop work if possible, record all costs incurred to date, and determine, on a project by project basis, the appropriate final revenue recognition. Claims are amounts in excess of the agreed contract price that the Company seeks to collect from its clients or others for client-caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders that are either in dispute or are unapproved as to both scope and price, or other causes of unanticipated additional contract costs. Costs related to change orders and claims are recognized when they are incurred. The Company evaluates claims on an individual basis and recognizes revenue it believes is probable to collect. Performance Obligations The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is not distinct. However, in some instances, we may also promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract, resulting in multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract transaction price to each performance obligation using the best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Typically, we sell a customer a specific service and use the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied as work progresses or at a point in time. Revenue on our cost-reimbursable contracts is recognized over time using direct costs incurred or direct costs incurred to date as compared to the estimated total direct costs for performance obligations because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, subcontractors’ costs and other direct costs. Gross revenue from services transferred to customers at a point in time is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer of the reports and/or analysis performed. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had $628 million and $601 million of remaining performance obligations, or backlog, respectively, of which $377 million and $361 million, respectively, or 60% is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the majority of the balance over the next 24 months. Contracts for which work authorizations have been received are included in backlog. Project cancellations or scope adjustments may occur, from time to time, with respect to contracts reflected in backlog. Most of our government contracts are multi-year contracts for which funding is appropriated on an annual basis, therefore backlog includes only those amounts that have been funded and authorized and does not reflect the full amounts we may receive over the term of such contracts. In the case of non-government contracts, backlog includes future revenue at contract rates, excluding contract renewals or extensions that are at the discretion of the client. For contracts with a not-to-exceed maximum amount, we include revenue from such contracts in backlog to the extent of the remaining estimated amount. Our backlog for the period beyond 12 months may be subject to variation from year-to-year as existing contracts are completed, delayed, or renewed or new contracts are awarded, delayed, or cancelled. As a result, we believe that year-to-year comparisons of the portion of backlog expected to be performed more than one year in the future are difficult to assess and not necessarily indicative of future revenues or profitability. Contract Assets and Liabilities The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities). Billed and unbilled receivables are reflected on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liability “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on these contracts as of the reporting date and is reported within “other current liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This liability was $0 thousand and $343 thousand as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the fiscal year was $343 thousand and $129 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulations The Company has contracts with the U.S. federal, state and local governments that contain provisions requiring compliance with the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”). These regulations are generally applicable to all of its contracts that are directly funded or partially funded by pass through funds from the U.S. federal government. These provisions limit the recovery of certain specified indirect costs on contracts subject to the FAR. Cost-plus contracts covered by the FAR provide for upward or downward adjustments if actual recoverable costs differ from the estimate billed under forward pricing arrangements. Most of the Company’s government contracts are subject to termination at the convenience of the government. Contracts typically provide for reimbursement of costs incurred and payment of fees earned through the date of such termination. Government contracts that are subject to the FAR are subject to audits performed by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”) and many other state governmental agencies. As such, the Company’s overhead rates, cost proposals, incurred government contract costs and internal control systems are subject to review. During the course of its audits, the DCAA or a state agency may question incurred costs if it believes the Company has accounted for such costs in a manner inconsistent with the requirements of the FAR or Cost Accounting Standards and recommend that the applicable contracting officer disallow such costs. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant disallowed costs because of such audits. However, the Company can provide no assurance that the rate audits will not result in material disallowances of incurred costs in the future. The Company provides for a refund liability to the extent that it expects to refund some of the consideration received from a customer. The liability at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0 thousand and $813 thousand, respectively. Disaggregation of Revenues As described further in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company has one operating segment, Engineering, Testing, Inspection and Other Consultative Services, which reflects how the Company is being managed. The Company provides public and private sector clients with comprehensive support in managing large-scale infrastructure improvement programs including engineering, design, program development/management, compliance services, acquisition and project control services, as well as construction engineering and inspection and materials testing. Approximately 50% of the Company’s revenues in each reporting period presented are derived from federal, state and local government related projects. All services performed by the Company are rendered in the United States and its territories via two contract types, time and materials or fixed price contracts. The Company derives 90% of its revenues from T&M contracts, the remainder are earned under fixed price contracts. Cash Flows The Company has presented its cash flows using the indirect method and considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at acquisition to be cash equivalents. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance limit. Comprehensive Income There are no other components of comprehensive income other than net income and the provision for non-controlling interest associated with Holdings Units. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable. These risks primarily relate to the concentration of customers who are large, governmental customers and regional governmental customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral. Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described as follows: Level 1 — Inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that management has the ability to access. Level 2 — Inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company has various financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt. The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company believes that the aggregate fair values of its long-term debt approximates their carrying amounts as the interest rates on the debt are either reset on a frequent basis or reflect current market rates. The Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, in the accounting for its acquisitions, which requires recognition of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values, separately from goodwill. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets is based on valuations performed to determine the fair values of such assets as of the acquisition dates. Depending on the size and complexity of the acquisition, the Company may engage a third-party independent valuation specialist to assist in management’s determination of fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values of earn-out arrangements are included as part of the purchase price of the acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent earn-out payments as part of the initial purchase price and records the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in the estimated fair value of contingent earnout payments are included in operating expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Several factors are considered when determining contingent consideration liabilities as part of the purchase price, including whether (i) the valuation of the acquisitions is not supported solely by the initial consideration paid, and the contingent earn-out formula is a critical and material component of the valuation approach to determining the purchase price; and (ii) the former owners of the acquired companies that remain as key employees receive compensation other than contingent earn-out payments at a reasonable level compared with the compensation of other key employees. The contingent earn-out payments are not affected by employment termination. The Company reviews and re-assesses the estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities on a quarterly basis, and the updated fair value could differ materially from the initial estimates. The Company measures contingent consideration recognized in connection with business combinations at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 inputs. The Company uses a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach as a valuation technique to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities on the acquisition date and at each reporting period. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are projections over the earn-out period, and the probability outcome percentages that are assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent consideration liabilities. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate on the acquisition date and amount paid will be recorded in earnings. The Company records the current portion of contingent consideration liability within other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion of contingent consideration liability within other long-term liabilities within its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value of estimated contingent consideration: Contingent consideration, as of December 31, 2019 $ 1,060 Additions for acquisitions 18,200 Reduction of liability for payment made (1,060 ) Total contingent consideration, as of December 31, 2020 18,200 Current portion of contingent consideration (3,100 ) Contingent consideration, less current portion $ 15,100 Equity Based Compensation The Company recognizes the cost of services received in an equity based payment transaction with an employee as services are received and records either a corresponding increase in equity or a liability, depending on whether the instruments granted satisfy the equity or liability classification criteria. The measurement objective for these equity awards is the estimated fair value at the grant date of the equity instruments that the Company is obligated to issue when employees have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments. The compensation cost for an award classified as an equity instrument is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, including an estimate of forfeitures. The requisite service period is the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an award. Consistent with the change in control provisions within the applicable agreements, the Company fully expensed the remaining unamortized value of the stock awards that vested upon the completion of the Atlas Business Combination during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. However, the Company granted restricted stock units during the second quarter of 2020 as a means to reward and retain selected management personnel. Please refer to Note 10 – Equity Based Compensation for further information. Equity compensation was $10,795 thousand and $1,984 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, whi According to the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This guidance also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. Redeemable Preferred Stock On February 14, 2020, in connection with the consummation of the Atlas Business Combination, Holdings and GSO COF III AIV-2 LP (“GSO AIV-2”) entered into a subscription agreement, dated February 14, 2020 (the “Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which, GSO AIV-2 purchased 145,000 units of a new class of Series A Senior Preferred Units of Holdings (the “Preferred Units”) at a price per Preferred Unit of $978.21 for an aggregate cash purchase price of $141,840,450, which represented a 2.179% original issue discount on the Preferred Units (such purchase, the “GSO Placement”). The GSO Placement was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Preferred Units ranked senior in priority to all other existing and future equity securities of Holdings with respect to liquidation preference and distribution rights. The Preferred Units had a liquidation preference of $1,000 per Preferred Unit (the “Liquidation Preference”). Subject to any limitations set forth in the Atlas Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7 – Long-Term Debt), the Preferred Units were paid a dividend of 5% per annum, plus either an additional 6.25% per annum in cash or 7.25% per annum in additional Preferred Units, at Holdings’ option, payable quarterly in arrears. If a cash dividend was not able to be made because of a limitation under the Atlas Credit Agreement, then the Liquidation Preference with respect to any Preferred Unit would have increased to 3.5625% in any quarter until a cash dividend could be made. The Preferred Units did not possess voting rights and were not convertible into any other security of Holdings. Holdings was permitted to redeem the Preferred Units beginning on the second anniversary of the Closing Date at a price of 103% of the Liquidation Preference (the “Redemption Premium”), and on the third anniversary of their issuance at the Liquidation Preference, in each case plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Preferred Units could only be redeemed by Holdings within the first two years of the Closing Date upon a change of control as described below, in which case such Preferred Units would have been redeemed at a customary make-whole amount as if the Preferred Units were redeemed on the second anniversary. Subject to the terms of Holdings’ and its subsidiaries’ senior credit agreements, Holdings was required to redeem the Preferred Units at the Redemption Premium, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, in the event of (i) a change of control, (ii) sales or other dispositions of all or substantially all of Holdings’ assets and (iii) the insolvency or bankruptcy of Holdings or any of its material subsidiaries. Finally, holders of the Preferred Units were permitted to require Holdings to redeem their Preferred Units at the Liquidation Preference, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, beginning on the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to certain customary limitations. Redeemable preferred stock, as of December 31, 2019 $ - Additions 141,840 Accrued paid in-kind dividends 9,386 Accretion of discount 165 Redeemable preferred stock, as of December 31, 2020 $ 151,391 The Preferred Units were redeemed in full on February 25, 2021. Please refer to “Note 17 – Subsequent Events” for further information. Segment The Company has one operating and reporting segment, Engineering, Testing, Inspection and Other Consultative Services. This financial information is reviewed regularly by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources and is equivalent to our consolidated information. Our chief operating decision maker does not review below the consolidated level. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize, in the balance sheet, a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. The amendments in this accounting standard update are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2016-02 and its impact on the consolidated and combined financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments (Topic 326) - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides guidance regarding the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in the current guidance with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates. This ASU will be effective for the Company commencing after December 15, 2022. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
ATLAS BUSINESS COMBINATION | NOTE 3 – ATLAS BUSINESS COMBINATION On the Closing Date, the Company completed the acquisition of Atlas Intermediate and its subsidiaries and in return the Atlas Intermediate members: (i) received 24.0 million shares of Class B common stock in the Company, (ii) repaid the $171.5 million of outstanding debt and interest accrued and due lender, (iii) paid $10.9 million of Seller incurred acquisition-related costs, (iv) settled $1.1 million of contingent consideration associated with the SCST, Inc. acquisition and (v) paid $2.2 million of change in control payments due certain executives. This was paid for with: (i) $20.7 million of cash raised from special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) shareholders and the private placement discussed herein, (ii) the issuance of redeemable preferred stock in the amount of $141.8 million and (iii) the issuance of new debt in the amount of $271.0 million as discussed in Note 7 – Long-Term Debt. The shares of non-economic Class B common stock of the Company entitle each holder to one vote per share, and each Class B share, along with its corresponding Holdings Unit, is redeemable on a one-for-one basis for one share of Class A common stock at the option of the Unit Holders (formerly members) as their lock-up periods expire. Upon the redemption by any Class B common stock, along with the corresponding Holdings Units, for Class A common stock, a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled. In connection with the Company’s entry into the Atlas Business Combination, the Company agreed to issue and sell in a private placement an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock for a purchase price of $10.23 per share, and aggregate consideration of $10.2 million (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement was consummated concurrently with the Closing Date and the proceeds of the Private Placement were used to fund a portion of the consideration paid to the Atlas Intermediate members. Because the holders of our Class B common stock have effective control of the combined company after the Closing Date through their majority voting interests in both the Company and, accordingly, Atlas Intermediate, the Atlas Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Although the Company was the legal acquirer, Atlas Intermediate was the accounting acquirer. As a result, the reports filed by the Company subsequent to the Atlas Business Combination are prepared “as if” Atlas Intermediate is the predecessor and legal successor to the Company. The historical operations of Atlas Intermediate are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Atlas Intermediate prior to the Atlas Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the Company, which does not have any operating results and includes only certain costs such as the compensation for the Company’s Board, certain legal fees and taxes, and Atlas Intermediate following the Atlas Business Combination; (iii) the assets, liabilities and members’ capital of Atlas Intermediate at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity and earnings per share for the period from the Closing Date. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
LONG-TERM DEBT | NOTE 7 – LONG-TERM DEBT In March 2019, subsequent to the merger with ATC Group Partners (“ATC”), we repaid all outstanding balances on the combined entity’s loan agreements in full and terminated our prior loan agreements. These loan agreements were replaced with a term loan of $145.0 million and a revolving credit facility of $50.0 million, of which $31.8 million was funded at closing (the “Atlas Credit Facility”). Proceeds of the Atlas Credit Facility were used to repay existing debt of $123.9 million and fund a shareholder distribution of $52.8 million made in April 2019. The Atlas Credit Facility was secured by assets of Atlas Intermediate. The Atlas Credit Facility required quarterly principal payments of $2.719 million through March 31, 2023, and then $3.625 million until the final maturity in March 2024, and bore interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 275 to 425 basis points determined by the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Atlas Credit Facility. For the interest payment made in the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the applicable margin was 375 basis points and the total interest rate was 5.500%. The Atlas Credit Facility was scheduled to mature in March 2024. However, in connection with the consummation of the Atlas Business Combination, the Atlas Credit Facility was repaid and a new credit arrangement (the “Atlas Credit Agreement”) was entered into with Macquarie Capital Funding LLC (the “Lender” or “Lead Arranger”). The Atlas Credit Agreement called for a term loan (the “Term Loan”) in the amount of $281.0 million and revolving letter of credit (the “Revolver”) in the amount of $40.0 million of which $24.0 million was drawn upon through December 31, 2020. The term loan proceeds were used to repay the existing Atlas Credit Facility in the amount of $171.0 million and partially fund the Atlas Business Combination and the LONG acquisition. Under the terms of the Atlas Credit Agreement, the Term Loan and Revolver were set to mature on February 14, 2027 and February 14, 2025, respectively. Interest was payable monthly or at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on any outstanding borrowings. The interest rates under the Atlas Credit Agreement were equal to either (i) Adjusted LIBOR as defined in the Atlas Credit Agreement, plus 4.75%, or (ii) an Alternate Base Rate as defined in the Atlas Credit Agreement, plus 3.75%. The Atlas Credit Agreement was guaranteed by Holdings and secured by (i) a first priority pledge of the equity interests of subsidiaries of Holdings and Atlas Intermediate and (ii) a first priority lien on substantially all other assets of Holdings, Atlas Intermediate and all of their direct and indirect subsidiaries. On March 31, 2020, the terms of the Atlas Credit Agreement were modified to reduce the maturity of the Term Loan by one year to February 14, 2026 from February 14, 2027. The interest rate for the Term Loan was increased to (i) Adjusted LIBOR as defined in the Atlas Credit Agreement, plus 6.25%, or (ii) an Alternate Base Rate as defined in the Atlas Credit Agreement, plus 5.25%. The interest rate for the Revolver was increased to (i) Adjusted LIBOR as defined in the Atlas Credit Agreement, plus 5.0%, or (ii) an Alternate Base Rate as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus 4.0%. The modification also increased the rate of amortization applicable to the Term Loan to 5.0% per annum (commencing on June 30, 2020). The modifications to the Atlas Credit Agreement resulted from the exercise of the market-flex rights by the lead arranger in connection with the syndication process, which, in addition, required the payment of an upfront fee in an amount equal to 2% of the currently outstanding Term Loans, which was paid during April 2020. The market-flex rights were included in the Atlas Credit Agreement and were exercised by the lead arranger upon completion of the time period allowed to complete a syndication process. The Company has been in compliance with the terms of the Atlas Credit Facility and Atlas Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Long-term debt consisted of the following: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Atlas credit facility - term loan $ - $ 136,844 Atlas credit agreement - term loan 270,463 - Atlas credit facility - revolving loan 34,300 Atlas credit agreement – revolving 24,000 - Subtotal 294,463 171,144 Less: Loan costs, net (15,443 ) (1,712 ) Less current maturities of long-term debt (14,050 ) (10,875 ) Long-term debt $ 264,970 $ 158,557 Aggregate long-term principal payments subsequent to December 31, 2020, are as follows (amounts in thousands): 2021 $ 14,050 2022 14,050 2023 14,050 2024 14,050 2025 14,050 Thereafter 224,213 $ 294,463 The Atlas Credit Agreement was repaid in full on February 25, 2021.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY | NOTE 8 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Shares Outstanding Prior to the Atlas Business Combination, the Company was a SPAC with no operations, formed as a vehicle to effect a business combination with one or more operating businesses. After the consummation of the Atlas Business Combination, the Company became a holding company whose sole material operating asset consists of its interest in Atlas Intermediate. The following table summarizes the changes in the outstanding stock and warrants from the Closing Date through December 31, 2020: Class A Class B Warrants Private Beginning Balance, as of Closing Date 5,767,342 23,974,368 20,000,000 3,750,000 Issuances 373,278 776,197 - - Conversion of Warrants to Class A 4,389,227 - (20,000,000 ) (3,750,000 ) Transfers to Class A from Class B 2,311,737 (2,311,737 ) - - Shares Outstanding at December 31, 2020 12,841,584 22,438,828 - - Class A Common Stock Class B Common Stock Public Warrants In October 2020, the Company offered each holder of its outstanding warrants, including the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants, the opportunity to exchange their warrants for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Each holder was set to receive 0.1665 or 0.185 shares of Class A common stock in exchange for each outstanding warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the terms of the offer. The redemption rate was dependent upon whether the warrant holder tendered their warrants prior to the offer deadline. Warrant holders who tendered their warrants for exchange prior to the expiration of the tender offer period received the 0.185 conversion rate, and any warrant holders who did not tender their warrants by the appropriate deadline received the 0.1665 conversion rate. The Company concluded the offer in November 2020 and all warrants were converted to Class A common stock by December 31, 2020. Private Placement Warrants In connection with the October 2020 offer to the warrant holders to exchange their warrants for the Company’s Class A common stock, the Sponsor opted to fully exchange their Private Placement Warrants for Class A common stock. As of December 31, 2020, there were no remaining Private Placement Warrants issued or outstanding. Private Placement In connection with the Company’s entry into the Contribution Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell in a private placement an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock for a purchase price of $10.23 per share, and aggregate consideration of $10.2 million (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement was consummated concurrently with the Closing Date and the proceeds of the Private Placement were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration paid to the Unit Holders. Non-controlling Interest As of December 31, 2020, the Company ownership and voting structure was comprised of holders of our Class A common stock that participate 100% in the results of Atlas Technical Consultants, Inc. and 36.4% in Atlas Intermediate and its subsidiaries and holders of our Class B common stock that participate in the results of Atlas Intermediate and its subsidiaries until their Class B common stock is converted to Class A common stock. The holders of our Class B common stock participate in 63.6% of Atlas Intermediate and its subsidiaries. In connection with the Atlas Business Combination, it was determined that the results of Atlas Intermediate and its subsidiaries would be fully consolidated within the results of the Company. Due to the participation of the holders of our Class B common stock in the results of Atlas Intermediate and subsidiaries, a non-controlling interest was deemed to exist. Non-controlling ownership interests in Atlas Intermediate and its subsidiaries are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet within shareholders’ equity as a separate component. In addition, consolidated net income includes earnings attributable to both the shareholders and the non-controlling interests. As holders of our Class B common stock transition to holders of Class A common stock, we adjust our additional paid in capital and non-controlling interest within our Consolidated Balance Sheet and the provision for non-controlling interest in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Holders of Class B common stock may convert their shares to Class A common stock at their discretion as their contractual lock-ups expire after the Atlas Business Combination. Subsequent to the Atlas Business Combination, we distributed $717 thousand to the non-controlling interests. |

EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION | NOTE 10 – EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION In December 2017, Atlas Intermediate’s Parent granted service-based Class A units to certain members of Atlas’ management. As of December 31, 2017, 1,000 units were authorized and reserved for issuance with 504 granted in December 2017. The Class A units granted provide for service-based vesting annually over 4 years from the grant date. In April 2019, Atlas Intermediate’s Parent granted service-based Class A units to certain members of Atlas’ management. As of January 1, 2019, 1,666 units were authorized and reserved for issuance with 973.65 units granted as of December 31, 2019. The Class A units granted provide for service-based vesting annually over 4 years from the grant date. The grant date fair value was determined using assumptions about the current waterfall expected payout. In connection with the Atlas Business Combination, the outstanding shares were vested under the change of control provisions within the agreements. The shares are currently reflected as Class B common stock and may be converted to Class A common stock as the employee lock-up agreements expire. The following summarizes the activity of Class A unit awards during the year ended December 31, 2020: Number of Grant date Unvested Class A units as of December 31, 2019 1,226 $ 12,117 Granted - - Vested and converted to Class B Common Stock (1,226 ) - Forfeited - - Unvested Class A units as of December 31, 2020 - $ 12,117 Equity compensation relating to the Class A units that were converted to Class B Common Shares upon the Atlas Business Combination was $9,845 thousand during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Expense associated with the Class A units that were subsequently converted to Class B Common Shares was $1,984 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company awarded 510,136 restricted share units (“RSUs”) to approximately ninety employees at a grant day fair market value of $8.95 per share. The Company estimates the fair value of the RSUs as the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date of the award, which is expensed over the applicable vesting period. The vesting period for these RSUs is equal annual tranches, pro ratably over three years, and there is no performance requirement attached to the RSUs other than continued service to the Company. The Company expensed $950 thousand since their issuance in the second quarter 2020. |

Covid Nineteen Pandemic Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COVID-19 PANDEMIC | NOTE 15 – COVID-19 PANDEMIC In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak spread quickly across the globe. Federal, state and local governments mobilized to implement containment mechanisms and minimize impacts to their populations and economies. Various containment measures, which included stay-at-home orders and restrictions on the operations of businesses, while aiding in the prevention of further outbreak, have resulted in a severe drop in general economic activity, volatility in the financial markets and an economic downturn. As a result, there have been three financial responses from the U.S. government, in addition to interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board which were initially implemented to stabilize the U.S. stock markets. The federal government’s stimulus legislation related to COVID-19 include: the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2020, Families First Coronavirus Response Act, Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”) In connection with the CARES Act, CARES Act, CARES Act, During the second quarter of 2020, we reduced our workforce through various actions. We routinely assess our staffing levels to make certain that we continue to appropriately service our clients and maintain shareholder value. As a safety focused organization, since the outbreak of COVID-19 and continuing throughout the remainder of 2020, we have encouraged our employees to work from home wherever possible and to honor all shelter-in-place rules put forth by their state or local governments. We continue to monitor the credit quality and access to capital for our non-governmental clients as this can be an indication of their ability to go forth with future projects and continue to pay for contracted services. As an infrastructure company, the work we do is currently deemed essential by Federal, State and local governments but any change from that designation could have a negative result on our business as well as our peers. We are in compliance with our debt covenants as of December 31, 2020 and we expect that we will continue to be for the foreseeable future. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES Following the consummation of the Atlas Business Combination, we are organized in an “Up-C” structure in which the business of Atlas Intermediate and its subsidiaries is held by Holdings and will continue to operate through the subsidiaries of Atlas Intermediate, and in which our only direct assets consist of common units of Holdings. We are the sole manager of Holdings in accordance with the terms of the Holdings LLC Agreement entered into in connection with the consummation of the Atlas Business Combination. Previously, Atlas Intermediate was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes with all income tax liabilities and/or benefits of the Company being passed through to the partners and members. As such, no recognition of federal or state income taxes have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with the exception of income taxes relating to the C-Corp subsidiaries directly owned by Atlas Intermediate and the State of Texas Margin tax. Subsequent to the Atlas Business Combination, income taxes relating to the C-Corps owned directly by Atlas Intermediate and the State of Texas Margin tax are considered within the provision of non-controlling interest as it is generated through the results of Atlas Intermediate and its subsidiaries. (Loss) income before income taxes was follows: Year Ended 2020 2019 United States $ (26,929 ) $ 9,518 Income tax expense consisted of the following: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Current: Federal $ (424 ) $ 350 State 283 2,017 Total current income tax expense (141 ) 2,367 Deferred: Federal 1,731 - State (872 ) - Total deferred income tax expense 859 - Total income tax expense $ 718 $ 2,367 Temporary differences comprising the net deferred income tax asset shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were as follows: December 31, December 31, Deferred Tax Assets: Basis difference in flow-through entity $ 14,057 $ - Accruals and reserves 166 320 Loss carryforwards 2,542 - Valuation allowance (15,539 ) - Total deferred tax assets 1,226 320 Deferred Tax Liabilities: Basis difference in flow-through entity (2,704 ) (939 ) Total deferred tax liabilities (2,704 ) (939 ) Net deferred tax assets $ (1,478 ) $ (619 ) Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was (2.7%) and 14.1% for the periods ending December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Reconciliation between the amount determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pretax income from continuing operations and income tax expense is attributable to changes in our mix of pre-tax losses/earnings, the effect of non-controlling interest in income of consolidated subsidiaries, non-deductible transaction costs and changes in our valuation allowance. The Company provides a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. Based on this evaluation, as of December 31, 2020, a valuation allowance of approximately $15.5 million has been recorded to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that management believes is more than likely not to be realized. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019. Interest and, if applicable, penalties are recognized related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There are no accruals for interest and penalties on December 31, 2020. The Company is subject to income taxation by both federal and state taxing authorities. Income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 are open to audit by federal and state taxing authorities. At December 31, 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss carry-forwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $8.9 million. The net operating loss carryforward will begin to expire in 2026. Those arising in tax years after 2017 will never expire. |

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Change in Fiscal Year On January 4, 2021 the Company’s Board voted unanimously to change the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31 to a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to December 31, effective as of the commencement of the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2021. Unlike prior years, the Company’s fiscal year can now end subsequent to December 31 st AEL Acquisition On February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Atlantic Engineering Laboratories, Inc. and Atlantic Engineering Laboratories of New York, Inc. (collectively, “AEL”) for cash and an amount of equity consideration consisting of a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock equal to $7,750,000 divided by the arithmetic average of the daily VWAP of the Class A common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the closing, subject to customary adjustments for levels of cash, indebtedness and net working capital (the “Equity Consideration”). The transaction is expected to close at the end of March 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The Class A common stock will be issued in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The issuance of the Equity Consideration will not be a public offering for purposes of Section 4(a)(2) because (i) the offering is being made only to the sellers, (ii) the sellers are accredited investors and (iii) the manner of the issuance, including that the Company did not, and will not, engage in general solicitation or advertising with regard to the issuance of the Equity Consideration and did not, and will not, offer the Equity Consideration to the public in connection with the issuance. AEL is a materials testing and inspection firm based in Avenel, New Jersey, and provides steel, concrete, soil and other testing and inspection services to a diverse mix of public and private clients primarily in New York and New Jersey. AEL is expected to add approximately 290 professionals to the Company’s workforce and to strengthen the Company’s materials testing and inspection services in the Northeast. Reclass of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock Between January 1, 2021 and March 17, 2021, there have been 2,308,087 conversions of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001, to the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001. This serves to reduce the participation of the Class B shareholders from 63.6% as of December 31, 2020 to 57.1% as of the date of this report. This will be treated as a reclass between Additional Paid in Capital and Non-controlling Interest in the amount of $5.9 million in our financial statements as of March 31, 2021. Repayment of the Atlas Credit Agreement and Redeemable Preferred Stock by means of a New Credit Agreement (the “Atlas 2021 Credit Agreements”.) On February 25, 2021, Atlas Intermediate, as the borrower, entered into two new credit facilities consisting of (i) a $432.0 million senior secured term loan at closing and, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, a committed delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million and an uncommitted incremental term loan facility that may be incurred after closing (the “Term Loan”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated February 25, 2021, by and among Holdings, Atlas Intermediate, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain lenders thereto, including certain Blackstone entities, which may include, Blackstone Alternative Credit Advisors LP, and its managed funds and accounts, and its affiliates, Blackstone Holdings Finance Co. L.L.C. and its affiliates, and/or certain other of their respective funds, accounts, clients managed, advised or sub-advised, or any of their respective affiliates (the “Term Loan Agreement”) and (ii) a $40.0 million senior secured revolver which aggregate principal amount may be increased, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, including obtaining commitments therefor, by up to $20,000,000 (the “Revolver”) pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated February 25, 2021, by and among Holdings, Intermediate, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, swingline lender, issuing bank, lender, sole bookrunner and sole lead arranger (the “ABL Revolver Agreement,” and together with the Term Loan Agreement, collectively the “Credit Agreements”). The Term Loan Agreement refinances that certain Credit Agreement dated as of February 14, 2020 (as amended to date, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), with Macquarie Capital Funding LLC, as administrative agent and certain lenders, which repayment was effectuated partially in cash and partially by way of a cashless exchange of existing term loans and preferred equity for Term Loans. The initial Term Loan will mature on February 25, 2028 and the Revolver will mature on February 25, 2026. Interest on any outstanding borrowings is payable monthly under the ABL Revolver Agreement, quarterly under the Term Loan Agreement or, in each case, at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears. The cash interest rates under the Term Loan Agreement will be equal to either (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), plus 5.50%, or (ii) an Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), plus 4.50%. The interest rates under the ABL Revolver Agreement will be equal to either (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the ABL Revolver Agreement), plus 2.50%, or (ii) the ABR (as defined in the ABL Revolver Agreement), plus 1.50%. The Credit Agreements are guaranteed by Holdings and secured by (i) in the case of the ABL Revolver Agreement, a first priority security interest in the current assets, including accounts receivable, of Holdings, Intermediate and its subsidiaries and (ii) in the case of the Term Loan Agreement, a pledge of the equity interests of the subsidiaries of Holdings and Intermediate, and subject to the first lien security interest on current assets under the Revolver, a first priority lien on substantially all other assets of Holdings, Intermediate and all of their direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Term Loan Agreement contains a financial covenant which requires Holdings, Atlas Intermediate and all of their direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in each Credit Agreement) tested on a quarterly basis that does not exceed (i) 8.25 to 1.00 with respect to the fiscal quarters ending on April 2, 2021 and July 2, 2021, (ii) 8.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending October 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, (iii) 7.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending April 1, 2022 and July 1, 2022, (iv) 7.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2022 and December 30, 2022, (v) 7.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, (vi) 6.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending September 29, 2023 and December 29, 2023, and (vii) 6.50 to 1.00 for March 29, 2024 and each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. The ABL Revolver Agreement contains a “springing” financial covenant which requires Holdings, Intermediate and all of their direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Revolver Agreement) of no less than 1.10 to 1.00 when the outstanding principal amount of loans under the Revolver exceeds $0 or the aggregate exposure for letters of credit under the Revolver exceeds $5 million. The Term Loan Agreement and ABL Revolver Agreement will be collectively referred to as the “Atlas 2021 Credit Agreements” in future filings for the Company. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Accounts Receivable and Accrued Billings | Accounts Receivable and Accrued Billings The Company records its trade accounts receivable and unbilled receivables at their face amounts less allowances. On a periodic basis, the Company monitors the trade accounts receivable and unbilled receivables from its customers for any collectability issues. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on reviews of individual customer accounts, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. The Company writes off accounts after a determination has been made by management that the amounts at issue are no longer likely to be collected, following the exercise of reasonable collection efforts, and upon management’s determination that the costs of pursuing collection outweigh the likelihood of recovery. Payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the allowance for trade accounts receivable was $2.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, while the allowance for unbilled receivables was $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The allowances reflect the Company’s best estimate of collectability risks on outstanding receivables and unbilled services. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Purchases of new assets and costs of improvement to extend the useful life of existing assets are capitalized. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. When an asset is sold or retired, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and the resulting gains or losses on disposal are recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company depreciates its assets on a straight-line basis over the assets’ useful lives, which range from three to ten years. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment if the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. If an impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying amounts and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the respective fair values of the assets. There were no impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of net assets acquired over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, we evaluate goodwill annually for impairment on October 1, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired, using the quantitative method. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If we determine that this threshold is met, then performing the two-step quantitative impairment test is unnecessary. We may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test for any reporting unit. The two-step impairment test requires a comparison of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities associated with a reporting unit, including goodwill, with the fair value of the reporting unit. We determine fair value through the discounted cash flow method. We make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of our reporting units. If the carrying value of our reporting unit exceeds the fair value of our reporting unit, we would calculate the implied fair value as compared to the carrying value to determine the appropriate impairment charge, if any. There were no impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition During the fourth quarter of 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), using the modified retrospective approach to all contracts that were not completed as of the beginning of fiscal year 2019. We utilize the portfolio method practical expedient, which allows companies to account for multiple contracts as a portfolio, instead of accounting for them on a contract by contract basis (commonly known as the contract method). For our time and materials contracts, we apply the as-invoiced practical expedient, which permits us to recognize revenue as the right to invoice for services performed. The new standard did not materially affect our consolidated net income, financial position, or cash flows. Below is a description of the basic types of contracts from which the Company may earn revenue: |
Time and Materials Contracts | Time and Materials Contracts Under the time and materials (“T&M”) arrangements, contract fees are based upon time and materials incurred. The contracts may be structured as basic time and materials, cost plus a margin or time and materials subject to a maximum contract value (the “ceiling”). Due to the potential limitation of the contract’s ceiling, the economic factors of the contracts subject to a ceiling differ from the economic factors of basic T&M and cost plus contracts. The majority of the Company’s contracts are for projects where it bills the client monthly at hourly billing or unit rates. The billing rates are determined by contract terms. Under cost plus contracts, the Company charges its clients for contract related costs at cost, an agreed upon overhead rate plus a fixed fee or rate. Under time and materials contracts with a ceiling, the Company charges the clients for time and materials based upon the work performed however there is a ceiling or a not to exceed value. There are often instances that a contract is modified to extend the contract value past the original or amended ceiling. As the consideration is variable depending on the outcome of the contract renegotiation, the Company will estimate the total contract price in accordance with the variable consideration guidelines and will only include consideration that it expects to receive from the customer. When the Company is reaching the ceiling, the contract will be renegotiated, or we cease work when the maximum contract value is reached. The Company will continue to work if it is probable that the contract will be extended. The Company is only entitled to consideration for the work it has performed, and the ceiling amount is not a guaranteed contract value. The Company earned approximately 90% of its revenues under T&M contracts during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. |
Fixed Price Contracts | Fixed Price Contracts Under fixed price contracts, the Company’s clients pay an agreed amount negotiated in advance for a specified scope of work. The Company is guaranteed to receive the consideration to the extent that the Company delivers under the contract. The Company assesses contracts quarterly and may recognize any expected future loss before actually incurring the loss. When the Company is expecting to reach the total consideration under the contract, the Company will begin to negotiate a change order. |
Change Orders and Claims | Change Orders and Claims Change orders are modifications of an original contract that effectively change the provisions of the contract without adding new provisions. Either the Company or its client may initiate change orders. They may include changes in specifications or design, manner of performance, facilities, equipment, materials, sites and period of completion of the work. Management evaluates when a change order is probable based upon its experience in negotiating change orders, the customer’s written approval of such changes or separate documentation of change order costs that are identifiable. Change orders may take time to be formally documented and terms of such change orders are agreed with the client before the work is performed. Sometimes circumstances require that work progresses before an agreement is reached with the client. If the Company is having difficulties in renegotiating the change order, the Company will stop work if possible, record all costs incurred to date, and determine, on a project by project basis, the appropriate final revenue recognition. Claims are amounts in excess of the agreed contract price that the Company seeks to collect from its clients or others for client-caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders that are either in dispute or are unapproved as to both scope and price, or other causes of unanticipated additional contract costs. Costs related to change orders and claims are recognized when they are incurred. The Company evaluates claims on an individual basis and recognizes revenue it believes is probable to collect. |
Performance Obligations | Performance Obligations The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is not distinct. However, in some instances, we may also promise to provide distinct goods or services within a contract, resulting in multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract transaction price to each performance obligation using the best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Typically, we sell a customer a specific service and use the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied as work progresses or at a point in time. Revenue on our cost-reimbursable contracts is recognized over time using direct costs incurred or direct costs incurred to date as compared to the estimated total direct costs for performance obligations because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, subcontractors’ costs and other direct costs. Gross revenue from services transferred to customers at a point in time is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer of the reports and/or analysis performed. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had $628 million and $601 million of remaining performance obligations, or backlog, respectively, of which $377 million and $361 million, respectively, or 60% is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the majority of the balance over the next 24 months. Contracts for which work authorizations have been received are included in backlog. Project cancellations or scope adjustments may occur, from time to time, with respect to contracts reflected in backlog. Most of our government contracts are multi-year contracts for which funding is appropriated on an annual basis, therefore backlog includes only those amounts that have been funded and authorized and does not reflect the full amounts we may receive over the term of such contracts. In the case of non-government contracts, backlog includes future revenue at contract rates, excluding contract renewals or extensions that are at the discretion of the client. For contracts with a not-to-exceed maximum amount, we include revenue from such contracts in backlog to the extent of the remaining estimated amount. Our backlog for the period beyond 12 months may be subject to variation from year-to-year as existing contracts are completed, delayed, or renewed or new contracts are awarded, delayed, or cancelled. As a result, we believe that year-to-year comparisons of the portion of backlog expected to be performed more than one year in the future are difficult to assess and not necessarily indicative of future revenues or profitability. |
Contract Assets and Liabilities | Contract Assets and Liabilities The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities). Billed and unbilled receivables are reflected on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liability “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on these contracts as of the reporting date and is reported within “other current liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This liability was $0 thousand and $343 thousand as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the fiscal year was $343 thousand and $129 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |
U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulations | U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulations The Company has contracts with the U.S. federal, state and local governments that contain provisions requiring compliance with the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”). These regulations are generally applicable to all of its contracts that are directly funded or partially funded by pass through funds from the U.S. federal government. These provisions limit the recovery of certain specified indirect costs on contracts subject to the FAR. Cost-plus contracts covered by the FAR provide for upward or downward adjustments if actual recoverable costs differ from the estimate billed under forward pricing arrangements. Most of the Company’s government contracts are subject to termination at the convenience of the government. Contracts typically provide for reimbursement of costs incurred and payment of fees earned through the date of such termination. Government contracts that are subject to the FAR are subject to audits performed by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”) and many other state governmental agencies. As such, the Company’s overhead rates, cost proposals, incurred government contract costs and internal control systems are subject to review. During the course of its audits, the DCAA or a state agency may question incurred costs if it believes the Company has accounted for such costs in a manner inconsistent with the requirements of the FAR or Cost Accounting Standards and recommend that the applicable contracting officer disallow such costs. Historically, the Company has not incurred significant disallowed costs because of such audits. However, the Company can provide no assurance that the rate audits will not result in material disallowances of incurred costs in the future. The Company provides for a refund liability to the extent that it expects to refund some of the consideration received from a customer. The liability at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0 thousand and $813 thousand, respectively. |
Disaggregation of Revenues | Disaggregation of Revenues As described further in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company has one operating segment, Engineering, Testing, Inspection and Other Consultative Services, which reflects how the Company is being managed. The Company provides public and private sector clients with comprehensive support in managing large-scale infrastructure improvement programs including engineering, design, program development/management, compliance services, acquisition and project control services, as well as construction engineering and inspection and materials testing. Approximately 50% of the Company’s revenues in each reporting period presented are derived from federal, state and local government related projects. All services performed by the Company are rendered in the United States and its territories via two contract types, time and materials or fixed price contracts. The Company derives 90% of its revenues from T&M contracts, the remainder are earned under fixed price contracts. |
Cash Flows | Cash Flows The Company has presented its cash flows using the indirect method and considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at acquisition to be cash equivalents. At times, our cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance limit. |
Comprehensive Income | Comprehensive Income There are no other components of comprehensive income other than net income and the provision for non-controlling interest associated with Holdings Units. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable. These risks primarily relate to the concentration of customers who are large, governmental customers and regional governmental customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described as follows: Level 1 — Inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that management has the ability to access. Level 2 — Inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company has various financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt. The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company believes that the aggregate fair values of its long-term debt approximates their carrying amounts as the interest rates on the debt are either reset on a frequent basis or reflect current market rates. The Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, in the accounting for its acquisitions, which requires recognition of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values, separately from goodwill. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets is based on valuations performed to determine the fair values of such assets as of the acquisition dates. Depending on the size and complexity of the acquisition, the Company may engage a third-party independent valuation specialist to assist in management’s determination of fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values of earn-out arrangements are included as part of the purchase price of the acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent earn-out payments as part of the initial purchase price and records the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in the estimated fair value of contingent earnout payments are included in operating expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Several factors are considered when determining contingent consideration liabilities as part of the purchase price, including whether (i) the valuation of the acquisitions is not supported solely by the initial consideration paid, and the contingent earn-out formula is a critical and material component of the valuation approach to determining the purchase price; and (ii) the former owners of the acquired companies that remain as key employees receive compensation other than contingent earn-out payments at a reasonable level compared with the compensation of other key employees. The contingent earn-out payments are not affected by employment termination. The Company reviews and re-assesses the estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities on a quarterly basis, and the updated fair value could differ materially from the initial estimates. The Company measures contingent consideration recognized in connection with business combinations at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 inputs. The Company uses a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach as a valuation technique to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities on the acquisition date and at each reporting period. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are projections over the earn-out period, and the probability outcome percentages that are assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent consideration liabilities. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate on the acquisition date and amount paid will be recorded in earnings. The Company records the current portion of contingent consideration liability within other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion of contingent consideration liability within other long-term liabilities within its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value of estimated contingent consideration: Contingent consideration, as of December 31, 2019 $ 1,060 Additions for acquisitions 18,200 Reduction of liability for payment made (1,060 ) Total contingent consideration, as of December 31, 2020 18,200 Current portion of contingent consideration (3,100 ) Contingent consideration, less current portion $ 15,100 |
Equity-Based Compensation | Equity Based Compensation The Company recognizes the cost of services received in an equity based payment transaction with an employee as services are received and records either a corresponding increase in equity or a liability, depending on whether the instruments granted satisfy the equity or liability classification criteria. The measurement objective for these equity awards is the estimated fair value at the grant date of the equity instruments that the Company is obligated to issue when employees have rendered the requisite service and satisfied any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments. The compensation cost for an award classified as an equity instrument is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, including an estimate of forfeitures. The requisite service period is the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an award. Consistent with the change in control provisions within the applicable agreements, the Company fully expensed the remaining unamortized value of the stock awards that vested upon the completion of the Atlas Business Combination during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. However, the Company granted restricted stock units during the second quarter of 2020 as a means to reward and retain selected management personnel. Please refer to Note 10 – Equity Based Compensation for further information. Equity compensation was $10,795 thousand and $1,984 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, whi According to the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This guidance also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. |
Redeemable Preferred Stock | Redeemable Preferred Stock On February 14, 2020, in connection with the consummation of the Atlas Business Combination, Holdings and GSO COF III AIV-2 LP (“GSO AIV-2”) entered into a subscription agreement, dated February 14, 2020 (the “Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which, GSO AIV-2 purchased 145,000 units of a new class of Series A Senior Preferred Units of Holdings (the “Preferred Units”) at a price per Preferred Unit of $978.21 for an aggregate cash purchase price of $141,840,450, which represented a 2.179% original issue discount on the Preferred Units (such purchase, the “GSO Placement”). The GSO Placement was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Preferred Units ranked senior in priority to all other existing and future equity securities of Holdings with respect to liquidation preference and distribution rights. The Preferred Units had a liquidation preference of $1,000 per Preferred Unit (the “Liquidation Preference”). Subject to any limitations set forth in the Atlas Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7 – Long-Term Debt), the Preferred Units were paid a dividend of 5% per annum, plus either an additional 6.25% per annum in cash or 7.25% per annum in additional Preferred Units, at Holdings’ option, payable quarterly in arrears. If a cash dividend was not able to be made because of a limitation under the Atlas Credit Agreement, then the Liquidation Preference with respect to any Preferred Unit would have increased to 3.5625% in any quarter until a cash dividend could be made. The Preferred Units did not possess voting rights and were not convertible into any other security of Holdings. Holdings was permitted to redeem the Preferred Units beginning on the second anniversary of the Closing Date at a price of 103% of the Liquidation Preference (the “Redemption Premium”), and on the third anniversary of their issuance at the Liquidation Preference, in each case plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Preferred Units could only be redeemed by Holdings within the first two years of the Closing Date upon a change of control as described below, in which case such Preferred Units would have been redeemed at a customary make-whole amount as if the Preferred Units were redeemed on the second anniversary. Subject to the terms of Holdings’ and its subsidiaries’ senior credit agreements, Holdings was required to redeem the Preferred Units at the Redemption Premium, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, in the event of (i) a change of control, (ii) sales or other dispositions of all or substantially all of Holdings’ assets and (iii) the insolvency or bankruptcy of Holdings or any of its material subsidiaries. Finally, holders of the Preferred Units were permitted to require Holdings to redeem their Preferred Units at the Liquidation Preference, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, beginning on the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to certain customary limitations. Redeemable preferred stock, as of December 31, 2019 $ - Additions 141,840 Accrued paid in-kind dividends 9,386 Accretion of discount 165 Redeemable preferred stock, as of December 31, 2020 $ 151,391 The Preferred Units were redeemed in full on February 25, 2021. Please refer to “Note 17 – Subsequent Events” for further information. |

Our chief operating decision maker does not review below the consolidated level. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize, in the balance sheet, a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. The amendments in this accounting standard update are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2016-02 and its impact on the consolidated and combined financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments (Topic 326) - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides guidance regarding the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in the current guidance with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates. This ASU will be effective for the Company commencing after December 15, 2022. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
