| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1.
Basis of Presentation: On June 1, 2018, Skyline Champion Corporation (formerly known as Skyline Corporation), an Indiana corporation (the “Company”) and Champion Enterprises Holdings, LLC (“Champion Holdings”) completed the transactions contemplated by the Share Contribution & Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated as of January 5, 2018, by and between the Company and Champion Holdings. Under the Exchange Agreement, (i) Champion Holdings contributed to the Company all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each of Champion Holdings’ wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (the “Contributed Shares”), and (ii) in exchange for the Contributed Shares, the Company issued to the members of Champion Holdings, in the aggregate, 47,752,008 shares of the Company common stock (“Skyline Common Stock”) (such issuance, the “Shares Issuance”). Immediately following the Shares Issuance, the members of Champion Holdings collectively held 84.5%, and the Company’s pre-closing shareholders collectively held 15.5%, of the issued and outstanding Skyline Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis. The contribution of the Contributed Shares by Champion Holdings to Skyline, and the Shares Issuance by the Company to the members of Champion Holdings are collectively referred to herein as the “Exchange.” The Exchange was treated as a purchase of the Company by Champion Holdings for accounting and financial reporting purposes. As a result, the financial results for the twelve months ending March 30, 2019 are comprised of 1) the results of Champion Holdings for the period between April 1, 2018 and May 31, 2018 and 2) the Company, after giving effect to the Exchange, from June 1, 2018 through March 30, 2019. All annual periods presented prior to the effective date of the Exchange are comprised solely of the results of Champion Holdings. All Company earnings per share and common stock outstanding amounts in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been calculated as if the Shares Issuance took place on April 3, 2016, at the exchange ratio, as defined in the Exchange Agreement. Nature of Operations: The Company’s operations consist of manufacturing, retail and transportation activities. At March 30, 2019, the Company operated 31 manufacturing facilities throughout the United States (“U.S.”) and five manufacturing facilities in western Canada that primarily construct factory-built, timber-framed manufactured and modular houses that are sold primarily to independent retailers and builders/developers. The Company’s retail operations consist of 21 sales centers that sell manufactured houses to consumers primarily in the Southern U.S. The Company’s transportation business engages independent owners/drivers to transport recreational vehicles throughout the U.S. and Canada and manufactured houses in certain regions of the U.S. The Company also has holding companies located in the Netherlands. Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned subsidiaries which it controls. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Variable Interest Entities and Joint Ventures : The Company analyzes its investments in non-wholly owned subsidiaries to determine whether they are unconsolidated joint ventures, consolidated joint ventures, or variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary in accordance with ASC . The Company has a 90% equity interest in a consolidated joint venture that was formed in March 2012 to acquire and develop land into a subdivision of modular homes to be sold to homebuyers. The Company is responsible for the development of the subdivision and marketing the lots for sale, and to provide, install and set up modular homes on the lots. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.2 million during fiscal 2018 to reflect the net realizable value of development inventory. The net investment in development inventory was zero at both March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, and had a value of $1.2 million at April 1, 2017. Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Estimates made in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, business combinations, reserves for obsolete inventory, accrued warranty costs, useful lives of fixed and intangible assets, asset impairment analyses, insurance reserves, legal reserves, repurchase reserves, share-based compensation and deferred tax valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, making it reasonably possible that a change in these estimates could occur within one year. Fiscal Year: The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest March 31. Fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017 include the 52-weeks ended March 30, 2019, March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017, respectively . Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied which generally occurs at a point in time through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company's customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance. Sales revenue is reported net of applicable sales tax. See Note 11, Revenue Recognition, for additional information. Cost of Sales: Cost of sales includes manufacturing costs such as (i) materials, (ii) compensation and employee benefits for direct and indirect labor, (iii) fixed and variable manufacturing overhead costs, (iv) warranty costs, (v) inbound delivery costs and (vi) depreciation of buildings and equipment. Manufacturing overhead costs include costs such as (i) utilities, (ii) workers’ compensation and product liability self-insurance, (iii) real and personal property taxes on buildings and equipment, (iv) manufacturing supplies, (v) repairs and maintenance and (vi) rents and leases for buildings and equipment. Cost of sales also includes certain post-manufacturing costs, to the extent such costs are the Company’s responsibility. Post-manufacturing costs may include delivery and setup, foundations, craning, roofing, exterior cladding, interior finishing, utility connections and other miscellaneous site costs. Generally, subcontractors are engaged to perform post-manufacturing activities. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) include costs such as (i) salaries, wages, incentives and employee benefits for executive, management, sales, engineering, accounting, information technology (“IT”) and administrative employees; (ii) sales commissions; (iii) marketing and advertising costs; (iv) legal and professional fees; (v) depreciation, rents and leases for administrative facilities, office equipment, IT equipment and computer software; and (vi) postage, office supplies, travel and telephone expenses. Advertising Costs and Delivery Costs and Revenue : Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Total advertising expense was approximately $1.5 million in fiscal year 2019 and $1.0 in each of the fiscal years 2018 and 2017. Delivery costs are included in cost of sales and delivery revenue is included in net sales. Foreign Currency: The Company had intercompany loans between its U.S. and foreign subsidiaries for long-term and short-term financing purposes. The foreign exchange impact on these transactions was reported in the consolidated statements of operations under foreign currency transaction gains and losses. The financial statement impact was based on fluctuations in the relative exchange rates between the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar and British pound. The intercompany loans were repaid during fiscal 2018 per the terms of the Exchange. Translation adjustments of the Company’s international subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Fair Value: The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820, t , which establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. As such, the fair value of financial instruments is estimated using available market information and other valuation methods. The Company groups assets
•
Level 1—Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
•
Level 2—Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, generally either quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active.
•
Level 3—Fair value determined using significant observable inputs, such as pricing models, discounted cash flows, or similar techniques. The Company records accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities at cost. The carrying value of these instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities. Cash and Cash Equivalents : Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that have original maturities less than 90 days at the time of their purchase. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value because of their short maturities. Restricted Cash: Restricted cash primarily represented collateral for letters of credit issued to support industrial revenue bonds, repurchase obligations, self-insurance programs and bonding facilities prior to the Exchange. Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company extends credit terms on a customer-by-customer basis in the normal course of business, as such, trade accounts receivable are subject to customary credit risk. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company's best estimate of probable credit losses in accounts receivable. Receivables are written off against the allowance when management believes that the amount receivable will not be recovered. At March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Inventories : Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined under the first-in, first-out method. Capitalized manufacturing costs include the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Retail inventories of new manufactured homes built by the Company are valued at manufacturing cost, including materials, labor and manufacturing overhead, or net purchase price if acquired from unaffiliated third parties. Inventories also included the Company’s investment in the community development owned by the consolidated joint venture, net of applicable impairments. These costs included land acquisition and development expenditures, as well as interest, real estate taxes and direct overhead costs related to development and construction. These costs were capitalized to inventory during the period beginning with the commencement of development and ending with the completion of construction. The Company discontinued capitalizing costs for the community development during 2018 because it stopped development activities. Property, Plant, and Equipment : Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) are stated at acquisition date cost. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method, generally over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements—3 to 10 years; buildings and improvements—8 to 25 years; and vehicles and machinery and equipment—3 to 8 years. Depreciation expense, including amortization of assets under capital lease, was $11.3 million, $7.8 million, and $6.8 million for fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. At March 30, 2019, the Company owned five idle manufacturing facilities and two idle retail sales centers with a net book value of $9.6 million. These properties are accounted for as long-lived assets to be held and used. During fiscal 2017, the Company acquired three idle manufacturing facilities and two idle retail sales centers, with a combined book value of $8.6 million, as part of the acquisition of Innovative Building Systems, LLC and its subsidiaries (“IBS”). During fiscal 2017, the Company sold four previously idled manufacturing facilities for net proceeds of $5.0 million. The Company recognized a net gain on the sale of $0.9 million. It is the Company’s policy to evaluate the recoverability of property, plant and equipment whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, primarily based on estimated selling price, appraised value or projected undiscounted future cash flows in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment Assets held for sale: Long-lived assets expected to be sold or otherwise disposed of within one year are classified as assets held for sale and included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. In connection with the Exchange, the Company acquired an office building which was classified as an asset held for sale, valued at $2.1 million. Goodwill : The Company tests goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, . Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Impairment testing is required more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In conducting its annual impairment testing, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If not, no further goodwill impairment testing is required. If it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit, the Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the related net book value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. In fiscal 2019, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of its reporting units. The assessment was completed as of the first day of March. The assessment indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its respective carrying value. The Company does not believe that any reporting units are at risk for impairment. Business combinations: The Company accounts for its business combinations in accordance with the accounting guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price of an acquired business is allocated to its identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment, the utilization of independent appraisal firms and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future cash flows, market rate assumptions, actuarial assumptions, and appropriate discount rates, among other items. Refer to Note 2, Business Combination and Acquisition, for additional information. Amortizable Intangible Assets : Amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of fair values assigned to customer relationships and trade names. Trade names were valued based upon the royalty-saving method and customer relationships were valued based upon the excess earnings method. Amortization is provided over the useful lives of the intangible assets, generally up to ten years, using the straight-line method. The recoverability of amortizable intangible assets is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recovered, in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 360. Warranty Obligations : The Company’s manufactured housing operations generally provides the retail homebuyer or the builder/developer with a warranty from the date of respective purchase. Estimated warranty costs are accrued as cost of sales at the time of sale. Warranty provisions and reserves are based on estimates of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims on homes sold by the manufacturing segment as of the balance sheet date. Factors used to calculate the warranty obligation are the estimated number of homes still under warranty and the historical average costs incurred to service a home. Dealer Volume Rebates : The Company’s manufacturing segment sponsors volume rebate programs under which sales to retailers and builder/developers can qualify for cash rebates generally based on the level of sales attained during a twelve-month period. Volume rebates are accrued at the time of sale and are recorded as a reduction of net sales. Repurchase Agreements: The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with lending institutions that provide wholesale floor plan financing to retailers. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer on their agreement to pay the financial institution. The risk of loss from these agreements is spread over numerous retailers. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product and pre-defined curtailment arrangements. The Company accounts for the guarantee under its repurchase agreements with our retailers’ financing institutions by estimating and deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the repurchase obligation. The estimated fair value takes into account the estimate of the loss the Company will incur upon resale of any repurchases. This estimate is based on recent historical experience supplemented by management’s assessment of current economic and other conditions affecting the Company’s retailers. Accrued Self-Insurance : The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of its workers’ compensation, general and product liability, auto liability, health and property insurance. Insurance coverage is maintained for catastrophic exposures and those risks required to be insured by law. Estimated self-insurance costs are accrued for incurred claims and estimated claims incurred but not yet reported. Equity-Based Compensation: Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is generally recognized as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur. Comprehensive Income and Loss: Components of comprehensive income and loss are changes in equity other than those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The aggregate amount of such changes to equity that have not yet been recognized in net income or loss are reported in the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss net of tax. As a result of the disposition of operations in the United Kingdom, the Company reclassified $7.6 million of net accumulated other comprehensive income to net income, which is included in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during fiscal 2017. There was no tax effect for comprehensive income for fiscal 2019 and 2018. The tax effect for comprehensive income in fiscal 2017 was not material. Income Taxes : The provision for income taxes is calculated using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is primarily dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. In determining the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns, judgment is required. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment on revenue recognition. The amendment created Topic 606, (“ASC 606”) and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, , including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendment supersedes the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, , and created new Subtopic 340-40, . Under ASC 606 an entity recognizes revenue in a manner that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method as applied to customer contracts that were not completed as of March 31, 2018. As a result, financial information for reporting periods beginning after March 31, 2018, are presented in accordance with ASC 606 while prior reporting periods were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies prior to the adoption of ASC 606. There was no material impact to revenues as a result of applying ASC 606 for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2019 and the post-adoption effects to the Company’s business processes, systems or internal controls were not significant. On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption: In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, , to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee should recognize in the consolidated balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018. Modified retrospective application and early adoption is permitted. The Company will reflect the adoption of ASC 842 as of March 31, 2019, the first day of the Company’s 2020 fiscal year using the modified retrospective approach and will not be restating comparative periods. The Company has elected to apply the transition package of three practical expedients which allow companies not to reassess whether agreements contain leases, the classification of leases, and the capitalization of initial direct costs. The Company has also made accounting policy elections to: 1) recognize lease expense for leases with a term of 12 months or less on a straight-line basis over the lease term and will not recognize any right of use assets or lease liabilities for those leases, and 2) not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company has substantially completed the implementation of new lease accounting software and finalizing updates to its internal controls to address the requirements of the new standard. The primary financial statement impact upon adoption will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of the Company's minimum commitments under noncancelable operating leases as right of use assets and obligations on the consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of ASC 842 will result in the recognition of lease-related assets and liabilities in a range between $12.0 million and $15.0 million. The standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment is currently assessing the potential impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. There were no other accounting standards recently issued that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. |
