Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business We are a leading global provider of engineering and manufacturing services for high-performance products and high-cost-of failure applications used primarily in the aerospace and defense (“A&D”), industrial, medical and other industries (collectively, “Industrial”). Our operations are organized into two primary businesses: the Electronic Systems segment (“Electronic Systems”) and the Structural Systems segment (“Structural Systems”), each of which is a reportable operating segment. Electronic Systems designs, engineers and manufactures high-reliability electronic and electromechanical products used in worldwide technology-driven markets including A&D and Industrial end-use markets. Electronic Systems’ product offerings primarily range from prototype development to complex assemblies. Structural Systems designs, engineers and manufactures large, complex contoured aerostructure components and assemblies and supplies composite and metal bonded structures and assemblies. Structural Systems’ products are primarily used on commercial aircraft, military fixed-wing aircraft, and military and commercial rotary-wing aircraft. All reportable operating segments follow the same accounting principles. Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ducommun Incorporated and its subsidiaries (“Ducommun,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), after eliminating intercompany balances and transactions. The December 31, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Our significant accounting policies were described in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1), “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to fairly state our condensed consolidated financial position, statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP for the periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020. Our fiscal quarters typically end on the Saturday closest to the end of March, June and September for the first three fiscal quarters of each year, and ends on December 31 for our fourth fiscal quarter. As a result of using fiscal quarters for the first three quarters combined with leap years, our first and fourth fiscal quarters can range between 12 1/2 weeks to 13 1/2 weeks while the second and third fiscal quarters remain at a constant 13 weeks per fiscal quarter. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation. Use of Estimates Certain amounts and disclosures included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements require management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities (including forward loss reserves), revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Supplemental Cash Flow Information (In thousands) Nine Months Ended September 26, September 28, Interest paid $ 8,825 $ 11,597 Taxes paid $ 2,559 $ 4,610 Non-cash activities: Purchases of property and equipment not paid $ 1,059 $ 1,054 Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding in each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus any potentially dilutive shares that could be issued if exercised or converted into common stock in each period. The net income and weighted-average common shares outstanding used to compute earnings per share were as follows: (In thousands, except per share data) (In thousands, except per share data) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 26, September 28, September 26, September 28, Net income $ 6,501 $ 8,303 $ 19,521 $ 23,590 Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 11,703 11,551 11,660 11,501 Dilutive potential common shares 256 243 226 283 Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 11,959 11,794 11,886 11,784 Earnings per share Basic $ 0.56 $ 0.72 $ 1.67 $ 2.05 Diluted $ 0.54 $ 0.70 $ 1.64 $ 2.00 Potentially dilutive stock awards to purchase common stock, as shown below, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. However, these awards may be potentially dilutive common shares in the future. (In thousands) (In thousands) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 26, September 28, September 26, September 28, Stock options and stock units 341 206 340 100 Fair Value Assets and liabilities that are measured, recorded or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine the fair value. Level 1, the highest level, refers to the values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant observable inputs. Level 3, the lowest level, includes fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs. We have money market funds and they are included as cash and cash equivalents. We also had interest rate cap hedge agreements for which the fair value of the interest rate cap hedge agreements was determined using pricing models that use observable market inputs as of the balance sheet date, a Level 2 measurement, however, those agreements expired during our second quarter of 2020. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 financial instruments in the three months ended September 26, 2020. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. These assets are valued at cost, which approximates fair value, which we classify as Level 1. See Fair Value above. Derivative Instruments We recognize derivative instruments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative instrument as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or a derivative instrument that will not be accounted for using hedge accounting methods. As of September 26, 2020, we had no derivative instruments as all of our derivative instruments that were designated as cash flow hedges matured during our second quarter of 2020. We record changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax until our earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the underlying hedge. We report changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting in current period earnings. We classify cash flows from derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the item being hedged or on a basis consistent with the nature of the instrument. For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, the impact of cash flow hedges in the respective periods were insignificant and all of our cash flow hedges matured during our second quarter of 2020. When we determine that a derivative instrument is not highly effective as a hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. In all situations in which we discontinue hedge accounting and the derivative instrument remains outstanding, we will carry the derivative instrument at its fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognize subsequent changes in its fair value in our current period earnings. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined using a moving average cost basis for raw materials and actual cost for work-in-process and finished goods. The majority of our inventory is charged to cost of sales as raw materials are placed into production and the related revenue is recognized. Inventoried costs include raw materials, outside processing, direct labor and allocated overhead, adjusted for any abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) incurred. We assess the inventory carrying value and reduce it, if necessary, to its net realizable value based on customer orders on hand, and internal demand forecasts using management’s best estimates given information currently available. The majority of our revenues are recognized over time, however, for revenue contracts where revenue is recognized using the point in time method, inventory is not reduced until it is shipped or transfer of control to the customer has occurred. Our ending inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Restructuring Charges In May 2020, management approved and commenced a restructuring plan in the Structural Systems segment mainly to reduce headcount in response to the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on the commercial aerospace demand outlook. We recorded an aggregate total of $1.1 million and $1.8 million for severance and benefit costs which were charged to restructuring charges during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively. Provision for Estimated Losses on Contracts We record provisions for the total anticipated losses on contracts, considering total estimated costs to complete the contract compared to total anticipated revenues, in the period in which such losses are identified. The provisions for estimated losses on contracts require us to make certain estimates and assumptions, including those with respect to the future revenue under a contract and the future cost to complete the contract. Our estimate of the future cost to complete a contract may include assumptions as to changes in manufacturing efficiency, operating and material costs, and our ability to resolve claims and assertions with our customers. If any of these or other assumptions and estimates do not materialize in the future, we may be required to adjust the provisions for estimated losses on contracts. The provision for estimated losses on contracts is included as part of contract liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the equity section, was comprised of cumulative pension and retirement liability adjustments, net of tax, and change in net unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges, net of tax. Revenue Recognition Our customers typically engage us to manufacture products based on designs and specifications provided by the end-use customer. This requires the building of tooling and manufacturing first article inspection products (prototypes) before volume manufacturing. Contracts with our customers generally include a termination for convenience clause. We have a significant number of contracts that are started and completed within the same year, as well as contracts derived from long-term agreements and programs that can span several years. We recognize revenue when control of the promised goods is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. We apply a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when or as the corresponding performance obligation is satisfied. Each distinct promise to transfer products is considered an identified performance obligation for which revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the products to our customer. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual good is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and is, therefore, not distinct. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Orders for our products generally correspond to the production schedules of our customers and are supported with purchase orders with firm fixed price and firm delivery dates. Our customers have continuous control of the work-in-process and finished goods throughout the manufacturing process, as products are built to customer specifications with no alternative use, and there is an enforceable right to payment for work performed to date. As a result, we recognize revenue over time based on the extent of progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation. The majority of our contracts are production-type contracts for which we have significant historical manufacturing experience. From time to time, we may enter into development type contracts which require more judgment to determine our total estimated costs at completion, including estimates of materials and labor costs to complete the contract. Revenue recognized is based on the cost-to-cost method as it best depicts the transfer of control to our customer which takes place as we incur costs. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress toward completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. We also have some contracts where we recognize revenue at a point in time upon transfer of control of the products to the customer. Point in time recognition was determined as the customer does not simultaneously receive or consume the benefits provided by our performance and the asset being manufactured has alternative uses to us. Our manufacturing costs include materials, labor, and overhead. A component of materials costs is production cost of contracts. Production cost of contracts includes non-recurring production costs, such as design and engineering costs, and tooling and other special-purpose machinery necessary to build parts as specified in a contract. Production costs of contracts are recorded to cost of sales using the over time revenue recognition model. We review the value of the production cost of contracts on a quarterly basis to ensure when added to the estimated cost to complete, the value is not greater than the estimated realizable value of the related contracts. As a significant change in estimated costs at completion could affect the estimated gross profit recorded for our contracts, we review and update our estimated costs at completion on a regular basis. We recognize adjustments in estimated gross profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on gross profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance is recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, we recognize the total loss in the period it is identified. The impact of adjustments in contract estimates on our operating earnings can be reflected in either operating costs and expenses or revenue. Net cumulative catch up adjustments on gross profit recorded were not material for both the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019. Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities Payments under long-term contracts may be received before or after revenue is recognized. When revenue is recognized before we bill our customer, a contract asset is created for the work performed but not yet billed. Similarly, when we receive payment before we ship our products to our customer, a contract liability is created for the advance or progress payment. Contract assets consist of our right to payment for work performed but not yet billed. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when we bill our customers. We bill our customers when we ship the products and meet the shipping terms within the revenue contract. Contract liabilities consist of advance or progress payments received from our customers prior to the time transfer of control occurs plus the estimated losses on contracts. Contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts with customers are as follows: (In thousands) September 26, December 31, Contract assets $ 140,717 $ 106,670 Contract liabilities $ 26,833 $ 14,517 Remaining performance obligations are defined as customer placed purchase orders (“POs”) with firm fixed price and firm delivery dates. Our remaining performance obligations as of September 26, 2020 totaled $746.1 million. We anticipate recognizing an estimated 70% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next 12 months with the remaining performance obligations being recognized in the remainder of 2021 and beyond.

The new guidance was effective upon issuance of this final accounting standards update. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, “Financial Statements - Credit losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Relating to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2020-02”), which provides guidance on the measurement and requirements related to credit losses. The new guidance was effective upon issuance of this final accounting standards update. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Statements” (“ASU 2019-04”), which clarify, correct, and improve various aspects of the guidance in ASU 2016-01, ASU 2016-13, and ASU 2017-12. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which was our interim period beginning January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2019-01”), which addresses various lessor implementation issues and clarifies that lessees and lessors are exempt from certain interim disclosure requirements associated with the adoption of ASC 842. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which was our interim period beginning January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”), which should improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures by removing certain requirements, modifying certain requirements, and adding certain new requirements. The new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which was our interim period beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. ASU 2016-13 requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which was our interim period beginning January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies reporting or provides clarification on various topics, including clarification that an entity should use the weighted-average share count from each quarter when calculating the year-to-date weighted-average share count. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of this standard. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance for a limited time for contracts that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects, of reference rate reform on financial reporting as a result of the cessation of LIBOR. The new guidance is effective at any time after March 12, 2020 but no later than December 31, 2022. We are evaluating the impact of this standard. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”), which removes certain exceptions and provides guidance on various areas of tax accounting. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of this standard. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (“ASU 2018-14”), which will remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost-beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, which will be our interim period beginning January 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of this standard. |
