Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include the accounts and transactions of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income as previously reported. | |
Revenue Recognition — Net sales include product sales and billings for freight and handling charges. Sales and associated cost of goods sold are generally recognized when products are shipped and title passes to customers. We accrue for returns based on historical evidence of return rates. | |
Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. | |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filings, substantial down-grading of credit ratings), a specific reserve for bad debts is recorded against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes reserves for bad debts based on the Company’s historical experience of bad debt write-offs as a percent of accounts receivable outstanding. If circumstances change (e.g., higher than expected defaults or an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations), the estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be revised by a material amount. | |
Inventories — Inventories principally consist of finished goods stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in-first-out method. To reduce the cost basis of inventory to a lower of cost or market value, a reserve is recorded for slow-moving and obsolete inventory based on historical experience and monitoring of current inventory activity. Estimates are used to determine the necessity of recording these reserves based on periodic detailed analysis using both qualitative and quantitative factors. As part of this analysis, the Company considers several factors including the inventories length of time on hand, historical sales, product shelf life, product life cycle, product classification and product obsolescence. | |
Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is computed by the straight-line method generally using useful lives of 20 to 30 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles. Amortization of financing and capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was $4.8 million, $5.4 million and $4.3 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Capitalized software is amortized over estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years using the straight-line method. Amortization expense of capitalized software was $3.8 million, $3.5 million and $2.8 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |
Cash Value of Life Insurance — The Company has invested funds in life insurance policies on certain current and former employees. The cash surrender value of the policies is invested in various investment instruments and is recorded as an asset on our consolidated financial statements. The Company records these funds at contractual value. The change in the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies, which is recorded as a component of General and administrative expenses, is the change in the policies' contractual values. | |
Deferred Compensation — The Company’s Executive Deferral Plan (“Deferral Plan”) allows certain executives to defer payment of a portion of their earned compensation. The deferred compensation is recorded in an Account Balance, which is a bookkeeping entry made by the Company to measure the amount due to the participant. The Account Balance is equal to the participant’s deferred compensation, adjusted for increases and/or decreases in the amount that the participant has designated to one or more bookkeeping portfolios that track the performance of certain mutual funds. Lawson adjusts the deferred compensation liability to equal the contractual value of the participants’ Account Balances. These adjustments are the changes in contractual value of the individual plans and are recorded as a component of General and administrative expenses. | |
Stock-Based Compensation — Compensation based on the share value of the Company’s common stock is valued at its fair value at the grant date and the expense is recognized over the vesting period. Fair value is re-measured each reporting period for liability-classified awards that may be redeemable in cash. | |
Goodwill — Goodwill represents the cost of business acquisitions in excess of the fair value of identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the appropriate reporting unit as reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker responsible for reviewing operating performance and allocating resources. Impairment of goodwill is evaluated using a three-step process. First, we look at qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances exist that would lead us to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If events or circumstances do exist that lead us to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired, and thus, the third step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the third step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. | |
In 2012, we identified indicators of impairment related to recurring operating losses and reduced market capitalization and, therefore, performed an interim impairment test of goodwill. We then estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis based on our current internal operating forecast to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. After completing the analysis, we concluded that the entire amount of the goodwill was impaired and a non-cash charge of $28.3 million was recorded. | |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the assets' carrying amount to their expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. In 2014, in anticipation of a sale of its Reno , Nevada distribution center, the Company reviewed the future recoverability of the facility and recorded a $3.0 million non-cash impairment charge. | |
Income Taxes — Deferred tax assets or liabilities reflect temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. Such amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is established to offset any deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not (i.e. greater than 50% likely) that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the amount of a valuation allowance to be provided on recorded deferred tax assets involves estimates regarding (1) the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (2) expected future taxable income, (3) the impact of tax planning strategies and (4) the ability to carry back deferred tax assets to offset prior taxable income. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, projections of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. The projections of future taxable income include a number of estimates and assumptions regarding our volume, pricing and costs. Additionally, valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can be impacted by changes to tax laws. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions as well as deferred tax asset and liability balances, including the estimation of valuation allowances and the evaluation of tax positions. | |
Primarily due to the cumulative losses incurred in recent years, management determined that it was more likely than not that it would not be able to utilize deferred tax assets to offset future taxable income and increased the deferred tax valuation allowance to equal substantially all of the Company's net tax assets. A tax valuation allowance will remain until the Company can establish that the recoverability of its deferred tax assets is more certain. | |
Earnings from the Company's foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. A distribution of these non-U.S. earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise would subject the Company to both U.S. Federal and state income taxes, as adjusted for tax credits and foreign withholding taxes. | |
The Company recognizes the benefit of tax positions when a benefit is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50% likely) to be sustained on its technical merits. Recognized tax benefits are measured at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained, based on cumulative probability, in final settlement of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. | |
Leases — Leases are categorized as either operating or capital leases at inception. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. An asset and a corresponding liability for the capital lease obligation are established for the cost of capital leases. The capital lease obligation is amortized over the life of the lease. For build-to-suit leases, the Company establishes an asset and liability for the estimated construction costs incurred to the extent that it is involved in the construction of structural improvements or takes construction risk prior to the commencement of the lease. Upon occupancy of facilities under build-to-suit leases, the Company assesses whether these arrangements qualify for sales recognition under the sale-leaseback accounting guidance. If a lease does not meet the criteria to qualify for a sale-leaseback transaction, the established asset and liability remain on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. This asset is depreciated over the life of the lease and the liability is reduced by the non-interest portion of the lease payments for costs allocated to the building and on a straight line basis for costs allocated to land. | |
Sub-leases — If the Company is relieved of its primary obligation under the original lease then the original lease is considered to be terminated, otherwise if the Company retains primary obligation under the original lease then the Company continues to account for the original lease and also accounts for the new sub-lease as lessor. At the time the sub-lease is executed, the Company records a gain or loss equal to the difference between the total cash payments to be made for gross rent under the original lease agreement over the life of the sub-lease plus executory costs and total gross rent proceeds expected to be received over the life of the sub-lease. | |
Earnings per Share — Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards into common stock. | |
Foreign Currency — The accounts of foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. All balance sheet amounts are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the applicable period end. Income statement amounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the applicable period. The gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates from the translation of subsidiary accounts in local currency to U.S. dollars have been reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses result from the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. These gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. | |
Treasury Stock —The Company repurchased 2,256, 2,691 and 2,474 shares of its common stock in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, from employees upon the vesting of restricted stock to offset the income taxes owed by those employees. The Company accounts for treasury stock using the cost method and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity. | |
Use of Estimates — Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In June 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-12, that clarifies that for share-based compensation instruments that vest based on performance conditions, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Rather, compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. ASU 2014-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We currently have no instruments within the scope of ASU 2014-12, therefore, adoption of the new standard will have no effect on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which the standard will be adopted in 2017. | |
In April 10, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” The new guidance changes the requirements for reporting a discontinued operation. Only a disposal representing a strategic shift that has a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results will have to be reported as a discontinued operation. Examples of strategic shifts meeting the new criteria include a disposal of a major geographical area, a major line of business, or a major equity-method investment. Under this new guidance, many disposals that might be routine and not a change in an entity’s strategy no longer will be reported as discontinued operations. For each comparative period, an entity’s statement of financial position must present separately the assets and liabilities of a disposal group qualifying as a discontinued operation. The ASU requires additional disclosures about the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of a discontinued operation. An entity also will be required to disclose the pretax income or loss attributable to a disposal of a significant component that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation. ASU 2014-08 is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. | |
In May 2013, the FASB reissued an exposure draft on lease accounting that would require entities to recognize assets and liabilities arising from lease contracts on the balance sheet. The exposure draft states that lessees and lessors should apply a “right-of-use model” in accounting for all leases. Under the proposed model, lessees would recognize an asset for the right to use the leased asset, and a liability for the obligation to make rental payments over the lease term. The lease expense from real estate based leases would continue to be recorded under a straight line approach, but other leases not related to real estate would be expensed using an effective interest method that would accelerate lease expense. A final standard is expected to be issued in 2015 and would be effective no earlier than annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this guidance would have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |

Income taxes paid for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 totaled $0.2 million. In 2014, 2013 and 2012 the Company received $0.1 million, $0.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, in income tax refunds primarily related to the carryback of net operating losses and recovery of income tax overpayments in prior years. | ||||||||||||
At December 31, 2014, the Company had $52.5 million of U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforwards which are subject to expiration beginning in 2030, and $0.5 million of foreign tax credit carryforwards which are subject to expiration beginning in 2020. In addition, the Company had $50.3 million of various state net operating loss carryforwards which expire at varying dates through 2033. | ||||||||||||
Primarily due to the cumulative losses incurred in recent years, management determined that it was more likely than not that the Company will not be able to utilize its deferred tax assets to offset future taxable income. Therefore, in 2014 and 2013 the Company increased its deferred tax valuation allowance by $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The tax valuation allowance will remain until the Company can establish that the recoverability of its deferred tax assets is more certain. | ||||||||||||

The recognition of the unrecognized tax benefits would have a favorable effect on the effective tax rate. Due to the uncertainty of both timing and resolution of income tax examinations, the Company is unable to determine whether any amounts included in the December 31, 2014 balance of unrecognized tax benefits represent tax positions that could significantly change during the next twelve months. | ||||||||||||
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was subject to U.S Federal income tax examinations for the years 2011 through 2013 and income tax examinations from various other jurisdictions for the years 2006 through 2013. The Company was subject to an examination by the Canada Revenue Authority ("CRA") for the years 2006 through 2010. The CRA examination was completed during May 2013 and resulted in proposed adjustments which amount to $1.3 million of additional tax for the 2008 and 2009 tax years. The Company does not agree with these adjustments and filed a request with Competent Authority programs in both the U.S. and Canada in October, 2013. The Competent Authority program assists taxpayers with respect to matters covered in the mutual agreement procedure provisions of tax treaties. Management has not recorded a reserve and is confident that the Company will prevail in this matter. The Company is unable to establish an estimated time frame in which this issue will be resolved through Competent Authority. |

Revolving Line of Credit | t | ||||
In 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) which expires in August 2017. Due to the lock box arrangement and a subjective acceleration clause contained in the borrowing agreement, the revolving line of credit is classified as a current liability. The Loan Agreement consists of a $40.0 million revolving line of credit facility, which includes a $10.0 million sub-facility for letters of credit. In December 2013, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement ("Second Amendment") which revised certain terms of the original Loan Agreement. | |||||
Credit available under the Loan Agreement is based upon: | |||||
a) | 80% of the face amount of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, generally less than 60 days past due, and | ||||
b) | the lesser of 50% of the lower of cost or market value of the Company’s eligible inventory, generally inventory expected to be sold within 18 months, or $20.0 million. | ||||
The applicable interest rates for borrowings are the Prime rate or, if the Company elects, the LIBOR rate plus 1.50% to 1.85% based on the Company’s debt to EBITDA ratio. The Loan Agreement is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all existing assets of the Company. Dividends are restricted so as not to exceed $7.0 million annually. | |||||
At December 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding balance under its revolving line of credit facility and additional borrowing availability of $31.9 million. The Company paid interest of $0.8 million, $1.1 million and $0.7 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 2.94% in 2014. The Company had $1.6 million of outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2014. | |||||
In addition to other customary representations, warranties and covenants, we are required to meet a minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA, as defined in the Loan Agreement, to fixed charges ratio and a minimum quarterly tangible net worth level as defined in the Second Amendment. On December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants as detailed below: | |||||

Retirement and Security Bonus Plans | Retirement and Security Bonus Plans |
The Company provides a 401(k) defined contribution plan to allow employees a pre-tax investment vehicle to save for retirement. Beginning January 1, 2012, the Company began contributing matching funds to the 401(k) plan. In 2013, the amount of contributions increased substantially as the U.S. sales representatives that converted from independent agents to employees on January 1, 2013 became eligible for the plan. The Company made contributions to the 401(k) plan of $2.9 million, $2.7 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |
The Company provides a profit sharing plan for certain sales, office and warehouse employees. The amounts of the Company’s annual contributions are determined annually by the Board of Directors. Expenses incurred for the profit sharing plan were $0.6 million, $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |
The Company has a security bonus plan for the benefit of its independent sales representatives, under the terms of which participants are credited with a percentage of their annual net commissions. The aggregate amounts credited to participants’ accounts vest 25% after five years, and an additional 5% vests each year thereafter upon qualification for the plan. On January 1, 2013, the Company converted all of its U.S. independent sales representatives to employees. The security bonus for those converted employees continue to vest, but their accounts are no longer credited with a percentage of net commissions. For financial reporting purposes, amounts are charged to operations over the vesting period. Expenses incurred for the security bonus plan were $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The security bonus plan is partially funded by a $1.1 million investment in the cash surrender value in life insurance of certain employees. |

Environmental matter | |||||||||||||
In 2012, the Company identified that a site it owns in Decatur, Alabama contains hazardous substances in the soil and groundwater as a result of historical operations prior to the Company's ownership. The Company has retained an environmental consulting firm to further investigate the contamination including the measurement and monitoring of the site. In August 2013, the site was enrolled in Alabama's voluntary cleanup program. On October 30, 2014, the Company received estimates from its environmental consulting firm with three potential remediation solutions. The estimates include a range of viable remedial approaches, but agreement with Alabama’s voluntary cleanup program has not yet been reached. The first solution includes limited excavation and removal of the contaminated soil along with monitoring for a period up to 10 years. The second solution includes the first solution plus the installation of a groundwater extraction system. The third scenario includes the first and second solutions plus treatment injections to reduce the degradation time. The estimated expenditures over a 10-year period under the three scenarios range from $0.3 million to $1.4 million, of which up to $0.3 million may be capitalized. As the Company has determined that a loss is probable; however, no scenario is more likely than the other at this time, a liability in the amount of $0.3 million has been established and included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying 2014 Consolidated Balance Sheet. | |||||||||||||
Tax matter | |||||||||||||
The Company was subject to an examination by the Canada Revenue Authority ("CRA") for the years 2006 through 2010.

Plan Administration | |||||||
The Company's Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Compensation Plan (“Equity Plan”) provides for the grant of nonqualified and incentive stock options, stock awards and stock units to officers and employees of the Company. The Equity Plan also provides for the grant of option rights and restricted stock to non-employee directors. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately 634,000 shares of common stock still available under the Equity Plan with no participant allowed a grant of more than 40,000 shares of common stock in any calendar year. The Equity Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, or its designee, which as administrator of the plan, has the authority to select plan participants, grant awards, and determine the terms and conditions of the awards. | |||||||
The Company also has a Stock Performance Rights Plan (“SPR Plan”) that provides for the issuance of Stock Performance Rights (“SPRs”) that allow non-employee directors, officers and key employees to receive cash awards, subject to certain restrictions, equal to the appreciation of the Company's common stock. The SPR Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. | |||||||
Stock Performance Rights | |||||||
SPRs entitle the recipient to receive a cash payment equal to the excess of the market value of the Company's common stock over the SPR exercise price when the SPRs are surrendered. Expense, equal to the fair market value of the SPR at the date of grant and remeasured each reporting period, is recorded ratably over the vesting period. Employees and non-employee directors who are retirement eligible, defined as age 65 or older, are permitted to retain their awards after retirement and exercise them during the remaining contractual life. All expense is recognized on the date of grant for SPRs granted to retirement eligible recipients. Compensation expense or benefit is included in General and administrative expense. A majority of the outstanding SPRs have a seven to ten year life and vest over one to three years beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. | |||||||
On December 31, 2014, the SPRs outstanding were re-measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions that may have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. The weighted-average estimated value of SPRs outstanding as of December 31, 2014 was $14.96 per SPR using the following assumptions: | |||||||
Expected volatility | 31.8% to 43.8% | ||||||
Risk-free rate of return | 0.1% to 1.5% | ||||||
Expected term (in years) | 0.2 to 4.5 | ||||||
Expected annual dividend | $0 | ||||||
The expected volatility was based on the historic volatility of the Company's stock price commensurate with the expected life of the SPR. The risk-free rate of return reflects the interest rate offered for zero coupon treasury bonds over the expected life of the SPR. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and was calculated using the simplified method allowed by the SEC due to insufficient historical data. The estimated annual dividend was based on the recent dividend payout trend. | |||||||
Compensation expense of $5.5 million and $1.4 million was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. A benefit of $0.6 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2012 as the overall decline in the fair value of the SPRs exceeded the amortization expense related to the unvested SPRs. An immaterial amount of cash was paid out for SPR exercises during the three year period ended December 31, 2014. | |||||||
Activity related to the Company’s SPRs during the year ended December 31, 2014 was as follows: | |||||||
Number of SPRs | Weighted Average Exercise Price | ||||||

Exercisable on December 31, 2014 | 342,700 | $ | 18.16 | ||||
The SPRs outstanding had an intrinsic value of $8.9 million as of December 31, 2014. Unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested SPRs was $2.0 million at December 31, 2014, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years. During the year ended December 31, 2014, 95,000 SPRs with a fair value of $1.0 million vested. At December 31, 2014, the weighted average remaining contractual term was 5.3 years for all outstanding SPRs and 4.0 years for all exercisable SPRs. | |||||||
Restricted Stock Awards | |||||||
Restricted stock awards ("RSAs") generally vest over a one to three year period beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. Upon vesting, the vested restricted stock awards are exchanged for an equal number of the Company’s common stock. The participants have no voting or dividend rights with the restricted stock awards. The restricted stock awards are valued at the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant and the expense is recorded ratably over the vesting period. | |||||||
Compensation expense of $0.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.7 million related to the RSAs was recorded in General and administrative expenses for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Activity related to the Company’s RSAs during the year ended December 31, 2014 was as follows: | |||||||

As of December 31, 2014, there was $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSAs that will be recognized over a weighted average period of eleven months. The awards granted in 2014 had a weighted average grant date fair value of $16.72 per share. | |||||||
Market Stock Units | |||||||
Market Stock Units ("MSUs") are exchangeable for between 0% to 150% of the Company's common shares at the end of the vesting period based on the trailing thirty-day average closing price of the Company's common stock. Expense of $0.3 million and $0.2 million related to MSUs was recorded in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Activity related to the Company’s MSUs during the year ended December 31, 2014 was as follows: | |||||||

Goodwill Disclosure [Text Block] | Goodwill |
As a result of a 2001 acquisition, on December 31, 2011, the Company had a goodwill balance of $28.1 million. Goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value and the goodwill impairment charge, if any, is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the goodwill as compared to its estimated fair value. The Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairment by determining if certain qualitative events have occurred or if circumstances have changed that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. As a result of this evaluation, the Company identified indicators of impairment in 2012 related to recurring operating losses and reduced market capitalization and, therefore, performed an interim impairment test of goodwill. | |
The Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis based on its current operating forecast to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. After completing the analysis, the Company concluded that the entire amount of the goodwill, adjusted for the effect of currency translation, was impaired and a non-cash charge of $28.3 million was recorded in 2012. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2014 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of consolidation | The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include the accounts and transactions of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Revenue recognition | Net sales include product sales and billings for freight and handling charges. Sales and associated cost of goods sold are generally recognized when products are shipped and title passes to customers. We accrue for returns based on historical evidence of return rates. |
Cash equivalents | The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. |
Allowance for doubtful accounts methodology | The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filings, substantial down-grading of credit ratings), a specific reserve for bad debts is recorded against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes reserves for bad debts based on the Company’s historical experience of bad debt write-offs as a percent of accounts receivable outstanding. If circumstances change (e.g., higher than expected defaults or an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations), the estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be revised by a material amount. |
Inventories | Inventories principally consist of finished goods stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in-first-out method. To reduce the cost basis of inventory to a lower of cost or market value, a reserve is recorded for slow-moving and obsolete inventory based on historical experience and monitoring of current inventory activity. Estimates are used to determine the necessity of recording these reserves based on periodic detailed analysis using both qualitative and quantitative factors. As part of this analysis, the Company considers several factors including the inventories length of time on hand, historical sales, product shelf life, product life cycle, product classification and product obsolescence. |
Property, plant and equipment | Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is computed by the straight-line method generally using useful lives of 20 to 30 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles. Amortization of financing and capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was $4.8 million, $5.4 million and $4.3 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Capitalized software is amortized over estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years using the straight-line method. Amortization expense of capitalized software was $3.8 million, $3.5 million and $2.8 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
Cash value of life insurance | The Company has invested funds in life insurance policies on certain current and former employees. The cash surrender value of the policies is invested in various investment instruments and is recorded as an asset on our consolidated financial statements. The Company records these funds at contractual value. The change in the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies, which is recorded as a component of General and administrative expenses, is the change in the policies' contractual values. |
Deferred compensation | The Company’s Executive Deferral Plan (“Deferral Plan”) allows certain executives to defer payment of a portion of their earned compensation. The deferred compensation is recorded in an Account Balance, which is a bookkeeping entry made by the Company to measure the amount due to the participant. The Account Balance is equal to the participant’s deferred compensation, adjusted for increases and/or decreases in the amount that the participant has designated to one or more bookkeeping portfolios that track the performance of certain mutual funds. Lawson adjusts the deferred compensation liability to equal the contractual value of the participants’ Account Balances. These adjustments are the changes in contractual value of the individual plans and are recorded as a component of General and administrative expenses. |
Stock-based compensation | Compensation based on the share value of the Company’s common stock is valued at its fair value at the grant date and the expense is recognized over the vesting period. Fair value is re-measured each reporting period for liability-classified awards that may be redeemable in cash. |
Goodwill | Goodwill represents the cost of business acquisitions in excess of the fair value of identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the appropriate reporting unit as reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker responsible for reviewing operating performance and allocating resources. Impairment of goodwill is evaluated using a three-step process. First, we look at qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances exist that would lead us to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If events or circumstances do exist that lead us to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired, and thus, the third step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the third step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. |
In 2012, we identified indicators of impairment related to recurring operating losses and reduced market capitalization and, therefore, performed an interim impairment test of goodwill. We then estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis based on our current internal operating forecast to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. After completing the analysis, we concluded that the entire amount of the goodwill was impaired and a non-cash charge of $28.3 million was recorded. | |
Impairment of long-lived assets | The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the assets' carrying amount to their expected future undiscounted net cash flows. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. In 2014, in anticipation of a sale of its Reno , Nevada distribution center, the Company reviewed the future recoverability of the facility and recorded a $3.0 million non-cash impairment charge. |
Income taxes | Deferred tax assets or liabilities reflect temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. Such amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is established to offset any deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not (i.e. greater than 50% likely) that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the amount of a valuation allowance to be provided on recorded deferred tax assets involves estimates regarding (1) the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (2) expected future taxable income, (3) the impact of tax planning strategies and (4) the ability to carry back deferred tax assets to offset prior taxable income. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, projections of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. The projections of future taxable income include a number of estimates and assumptions regarding our volume, pricing and costs. Additionally, valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can be impacted by changes to tax laws. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions as well as deferred tax asset and liability balances, including the estimation of valuation allowances and the evaluation of tax positions. |
Primarily due to the cumulative losses incurred in recent years, management determined that it was more likely than not that it would not be able to utilize deferred tax assets to offset future taxable income and increased the deferred tax valuation allowance to equal substantially all of the Company's net tax assets. A tax valuation allowance will remain until the Company can establish that the recoverability of its deferred tax assets is more certain. | |
Earnings from the Company's foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. A distribution of these non-U.S. earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise would subject the Company to both U.S. Federal and state income taxes, as adjusted for tax credits and foreign withholding taxes. | |
The Company recognizes the benefit of tax positions when a benefit is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50% likely) to be sustained on its technical merits. Recognized tax benefits are measured at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained, based on cumulative probability, in final settlement of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. | |
Leases | Leases are categorized as either operating or capital leases at inception. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. An asset and a corresponding liability for the capital lease obligation are established for the cost of capital leases. The capital lease obligation is amortized over the life of the lease. For build-to-suit leases, the Company establishes an asset and liability for the estimated construction costs incurred to the extent that it is involved in the construction of structural improvements or takes construction risk prior to the commencement of the lease. Upon occupancy of facilities under build-to-suit leases, the Company assesses whether these arrangements qualify for sales recognition under the sale-leaseback accounting guidance. If a lease does not meet the criteria to qualify for a sale-leaseback transaction, the established asset and liability remain on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. This asset is depreciated over the life of the lease and the liability is reduced by the non-interest portion of the lease payments for costs allocated to the building and on a straight line basis for costs allocated to land. |
Sub-leases [Policy Text Block] | Sub-leases — If the Company is relieved of its primary obligation under the original lease then the original lease is considered to be terminated, otherwise if the Company retains primary obligation under the original lease then the Company continues to account for the original lease and also accounts for the new sub-lease as lessor. At the time the sub-lease is executed, the Company records a gain or loss equal to the difference between the total cash payments to be made for gross rent under the original lease agreement over the life of the sub-lease plus executory costs and total gross rent proceeds expected to be received over the life of the sub-lease. |
Earnings per share | Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards into common stock. |
Foreign currency | The accounts of foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. All balance sheet amounts are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the applicable period end. Income statement amounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the applicable period. The gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates from the translation of subsidiary accounts in local currency to U.S. dollars have been reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses result from the effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. These gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. |
Treasury stock | The Company repurchased 2,256, 2,691 and 2,474 shares of its common stock in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, from employees upon the vesting of restricted stock to offset the income taxes owed by those employees. The Company accounts for treasury stock using the cost method and includes treasury stock as a component of stockholders’ equity. |
Use of estimates | Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-12, that clarifies that for share-based compensation instruments that vest based on performance conditions, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Rather, compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. ASU 2014-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We currently have no instruments within the scope of ASU 2014-12, therefore, adoption of the new standard will have no effect on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which the standard will be adopted in 2017. | |
In April 10, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” The new guidance changes the requirements for reporting a discontinued operation. Only a disposal representing a strategic shift that has a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results will have to be reported as a discontinued operation. Examples of strategic shifts meeting the new criteria include a disposal of a major geographical area, a major line of business, or a major equity-method investment. Under this new guidance, many disposals that might be routine and not a change in an entity’s strategy no longer will be reported as discontinued operations. For each comparative period, an entity’s statement of financial position must present separately the assets and liabilities of a disposal group qualifying as a discontinued operation. The ASU requires additional disclosures about the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of a discontinued operation. An entity also will be required to disclose the pretax income or loss attributable to a disposal of a significant component that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation. ASU 2014-08 is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. | |
In May 2013, the FASB reissued an exposure draft on lease accounting that would require entities to recognize assets and liabilities arising from lease contracts on the balance sheet. The exposure draft states that lessees and lessors should apply a “right-of-use model” in accounting for all leases. Under the proposed model, lessees would recognize an asset for the right to use the leased asset, and a liability for the obligation to make rental payments over the lease term. The lease expense from real estate based leases would continue to be recorded under a straight line approach, but other leases not related to real estate would be expensed using an effective interest method that would accelerate lease expense. A final standard is expected to be issued in 2015 and would be effective no earlier than annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this guidance would have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
