Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) incorporated in 1929 celebrated its 125 th anniversary of the Company’s founding in 1893 during 2018. Flexsteel Industries, Inc. is one of the oldest and largest manufacturers, importers and marketers of residential and contract upholstered and wooden furniture products in the United States. Over the generations the Company has built a committed retail and consumer following based on its patented, guaranteed-for-life Blue Steel Spring TM – the all-riveted, high-carbon, steel-banded seating platform that gives upholstered and leather furniture the strength and comfort to last a lifetime. With offerings for use in home, healthcare, and recreational seating, the Company distributes its furniture throughout the United States and Canada through the Company’s sales force and various independent representatives. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION – the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America. USE OF ESTIMATES – the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates. FAIR VALUE – the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. GAAP on fair value measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities require that each asset and liability carried at fair value be classified into one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; or Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period. INVESTMENTS - during fiscal year 2019, the Company purchased available-for-sale securities, U.S. Treasury bills and U.S. Agencies, which are recorded at fair market value. These securities are classified as “Investments” in the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains or losses are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” The fair market value and book value of the investments were $0.0 million and $16.0 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These assets are classified as Level 1 in accordance with fair value measurements described above. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ALLOWANCES – the Company establishes accounts receivable allowances to reduce trade accounts receivable to an amount that reasonably approximates their net realizable value. The Company’s accounts receivable allowances consist of an allowance for doubtful accounts which is established through review of open accounts, historical collection, and historical write-off amounts and an allowance for estimated returns on sales of the Company’s products which is based on historical product returns, as well as existing product return authorizations. The Company records a provision against revenue for estimated returns on sales of its products in the same period that the related revenues are recognized. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements. INVENTORIES – are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value utilizing the first ‑in - first ‑out (“FIFO”) method. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT – is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. VALUATION OF LONG–LIVED ASSETS – the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets and estimated depreciable or amortizable lives for continued appropriateness. This review is based upon projections of anticipated future cash flows and is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset carrying values may not be recoverable or that the estimated depreciable or amortizable lives may have changed Flexsteel Industries Inc. began the implementation process to convert its operating and accounting systems to SAP during fiscal 2016. Flexsteel incurred various software, consulting and internal salaries costs that were capitalized. In fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, Flexsteel placed into service 20% of the capitalized costs related to SAP and began to depreciate those assets over useful lives of 36 months for software costs and 60 months for consulting and internal salary implementation costs. The 20% represented the two product lines that went live with the system in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018: Home Styles and Commercial Office. After significant disruption during the initial implementation phase, and a subsequent analysis of root cause and corrective action activities, the Company stopped further implementation across the network and focused on stabilization of the new ERP system environment. Concurrently, the Company completed a thorough evaluation of the work completed to date, its usefulness in the context of future deployments and the potential for revised project scope. Through this analysis the Company developed a plan for the future implementation of SAP. This plan, which focuses on simplifying our processes and use of the system, allowed more specific analysis regarding the usability of items contained in our construction in progress. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge against capitalized costs of $21.3 million ($18.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2019, and $2.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2019) . No impairments of long-lived assets or changes in depreciable or amortizable lives were incurred during fiscal years 2018 and 2017. LEASES – We conduct a significant portion of our manufacturing and distribution operations from leased locations. The leases generally require payment of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, in addition to rent. For most of our locations, the remaining life is less than 5 years with one or more renewal options thereafter. Some leases also contain escalation clauses. For leases that contain predetermined fixed escalations of the minimum rent, we recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis from the date we take possession of the property to the end of the initial lease term. We record any difference between the straight-line rent amounts and amounts payable under the leases as part of deferred rent, in accrued liabilities or long-term liabilities, as appropriate. Cash or lease incentives received upon entering into certain leases ("tenant allowances") are recognized on a straight-line basis as a reduction to rent from the date we take possession of the property through the end of the initial lease term. We record the unamortized portion of tenant allowances as a part of deferred rent, in accrued liabilities or long-term liabilities, as appropriate. Refer to Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies , for maturity details. WARRANTY – the Company estimates the amount of warranty claims on sold product that may be incurred based on current and historical data. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance. REVENUE RECOGNITION – Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is performed to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We generate revenue primarily by manufacturing and delivering upholstered and wooden furniture products to independent furniture retailers in the United States. Each unit of furniture is a separate performance obligation. We satisfy our performance obligations when control of our product is passed to our customer, which is the point in time that are customers are able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining economic benefit of the goods or services. Net sales consist of product sales and shipping and handling charges, net of adjustments for returns and allowances. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which provides a framework for the recognition of revenue, with the objective that recognized revenues properly reflect amounts an entity is entitled to receive in exchange for goods and services. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, the Company’s fiscal year 2019. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective method). The Company adopted the modified retrospective method on July 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as revenue is recognized when product ownership and risk of loss is transferred to the customer, collectability is probable and the Company has no remaining performance obligations. Thus, the timing of revenue recognition is not impacted by the new standard. The Company’s revenues result from the sale of goods and reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. Revenue is reduced by appropriate allowances, estimated returns, price concessions, or similar adjustments as applicable. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ( Topic 606 ). For its customer contracts, typically purchase orders, the Company identifies the performance obligations (goods), determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A good is transferred when the customer obtains control of that good and risk of loss transfers at a point in time. Provisions for customer volume rebates, product returns, discounts and allowances are variable consideration and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded. Such provisions are calculated based upon historical data and discount percentages, set with each customer. Consideration given to customers for cooperative advertising is recognized as a reduction of revenue except to the extent there is a distinct good or service and evidence of the fair value of the advertising, in which case the expense is classified as selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A). The Company has a limited lifetime warranty on all products. The Company does not offer the option to purchase warranties. The Company accounts for warranties under ASC 460, Guarantees , and not as variable consideration related to revenue. Occasionally the Company receives deposits from customers before it has transferred control of the product to customers, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are reported within “Accounts payable - trade” in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $1.1 million of customer deposits. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $2.2 million of customer deposits. Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company elected the following practical expedients and policy elections: · The Company did not adjust contract prices for the effects of a significant financing component, as it expects the period when the goods or services are transferred to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods and services to be less than a year. · Costs for shipping and handling activities that occur before the customer obtains control of the product are accounted for as fulfillment activities. Accordingly, these expenses are recorded at the same time the Company recognizes revenue. · Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, specifically commissions, are recorded as an SG&A expense when incurred. · All taxes imposed on and concurrent with revenue-producing transactions and collected by the Company from a customer, including sales, use, excise, and franchise taxes are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price. These accounting treatments are consistent with the ASC 606 standard as adopted. Therefore, there was no impact to the consolidated financial statements. Adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, or have a material impact on financial position, results from operations and cash flows or related disclosures. As such, prior period financial statements were not adjusted. The following table disaggregates the Company’s net sales by product category for the year ended June 30, (in millions): 2019 2018 Residential $ 374.5 $ 413.7 Contract 69.1 75.5 Total $ 443.6 $ 489.2 ADVERTISING COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expense in the periods incurred. The Company conducts no direct-response advertising programs and there are no assets related to advertising recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Advertising expenditures, primarily shared customer advertising in which an identifiable benefit is received and national trade-advertising programs, were approximately $4.3 million, $5.1 million and $7.3 million in fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. DESIGN, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expense in the periods incurred. Expenditures for design, research and development costs were approximately $4.4 million, $3.9 million and $3.7 million in fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. INSURANCE – the Company is self-insured for health care and most workers’ compensation up to predetermined amounts above which third party insurance applies. The Company purchases specific stop-loss insurance for individual health care claims in excess of $175,000 per plan year. For workers’ compensation the Company retains the first $450,000 per claim and purchases excess coverage up to the statutory limits for amounts in excess of the retention limit. Losses are accrued based upon the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred using certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on Company experience. The Company records these insurance accruals within “Accrued liabilities – insurance” on the consolidated balance sheets. INCOME TAXES – the Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes in its financial statements 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. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) – basic EPS of common stock is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each fiscal year. Diluted EPS of common stock includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company’s potential common shares outstanding are stock options, shares associated with the long-term management incentive compensation plan and non-vested restricted shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method; all options are anti-dilutive when there is a loss. Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the computation of diluted EPS when their exercise price was greater than the average closing market price of the common shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of shares related to the long-term management incentive compensation plan and non-vested shares based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the fiscal year were the end of the contingency period. In computing EPS for the fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, net income as reported for each respective period is divided by the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding: June 30, (in thousands) 2019 2018 2017 Basic shares 7,889 7,848 7,782 Potential common shares: Stock options – 54 86 Long-term incentive plan – 17 18 – 71 104 Diluted shares 7,889 7,919 7,886 Anti-dilutive shares 112 40 – STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION – the Company recognizes compensation expense related to the cost of employee services received in exchange for Company equity interests based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant. The Company recognizes long-term incentive compensation plan expenses during the three-year performance periods; stock awards are issued following the end of the performance periods and are subject to verification of results and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approval. See Note 9 Stock-Based Compensation. SEGMENT REPORTING – the Company operates in one reportable segment, furniture products. The Company’s operations involve the distribution of manufactured and imported furniture for residential and contract markets. The Company’s furniture products are sold primarily throughout the United States and Canada by the Company’s internal sales force and various independent representatives. The Company makes minimal export sales. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales. Unadopted Accounting Pronouncements ASC 840, Leases . The effects of adopting the new standard (ASC 842, Leases ) in fiscal 2020 will be recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal first quarter. We will elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carryforward the historical lease classification as operating or capital leases. The most significant impact of adoption will be the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities in the range of approximately $12.6 million to $1 3.4 million for operating leases . We currently estimate the cumulative pre-tax impact of these changes to retained earnings to be immaterial in fiscal 2020. We do not believe the standard will materially affect our consolidated statements of earnings or cash flows. As part of our adoption, we have also modified our internal control procedures and processes. |
