Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Latch, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Latch Systems, Inc., Latch Taiwan, Inc. and Latch Insurance Solutions, LLC. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for hardware returns, estimates of excess and obsolete inventory, stock-based compensation, warrants, impairment of fixed assets and capitalized internally developed software. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Due to the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process and given the unknowable duration and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company’s significant accounting policies for its condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021 are summarized below and should be read in conjunction with the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies detailed in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and reserve for wholesale returns (See Revenue Recognition – Hardware and other related below for further information). On a periodic basis, management evaluates its accounts receivable and determines whether to provide an allowance or if any accounts should be written off based on a past history of write-offs, collections and current credit conditions. A receivable is considered past due if the Company has not received payments based on agreed-upon terms.
The Company generally does not require any security or collateral to support its receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.2 million and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Inventories, Net
Inventories consist of finished goods and component parts, which are purchased from contract manufacturers and component suppliers. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined using the average cost method. The Company periodically assesses the valuation of inventory and will write down the value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based upon estimates of future demand and market conditions, when necessary.
Equity Issuance Costs
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Company’s series preferred stock have been recorded as a direct reduction against redeemable convertible preferred stock within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Additionally, certain transaction costs incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement that are direct and incremental to the Business Combination (see Note 1, Description of Business) have been recorded as a component of additional paid in capital within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 and its related amendments (collectively known as ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers) effective January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective approach to all contracts. Incremental costs to obtaining customer contracts, primarily sales commissions, were capitalized in accordance with the adoption of ASC 606.
