2. Basis of Presentation Consolidated U.S. GAAP Presentation These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) contains guidance that form GAAP. New guidance is released via Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report which was filed on Form 10-K on March 4, 2024. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet and related disclosures as of December 31, 2023, have been derived from the Form 10-K filed on March 4, 2024. The Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2024, and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the financial conditions and results of operations that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2024. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southland Holdings, Inc., and our majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and affiliates. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated within the consolidations process. Investments in non-construction related partnerships and less-than-majority owned subsidiaries that we do not control, but where we have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Certain construction related joint ventures and partnerships that we do not control, nor do we have significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method for the balance sheet and the proportionate consolidation method for the statement of operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for continued reasonableness. It is reasonably possible that changes may occur in the near term that would affect our estimates with respect to revenue recognition, the allowance for credit losses, recoverability of unapproved contract modifications, deferred tax assets, and other accounts for which estimates are required. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in accounts at certain financial institutions. The majority of our balances exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in these accounts, and we do not believe they are exposed to any significant credit risk. Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts held in accounts in our name at certain financial institutions. These accounts are subject to certain control provisions in favor of various surety and insurance companies for purposes of compliance and security perfections. | | | | | | | | | | (Amounts in thousands) | September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 | Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | $ | 49,176 | | $ | 57,915 | Restricted cash at beginning of period | | 14,644 | | | 14,076 | Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of period | $ | 63,820 | | $ | 71,991 | | | | | | | Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $ | 91,378 | | $ | 49,176 | Restricted cash at end of period | | 15,370 | | | 14,644 | Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period | $ | 106,748 | | $ | 63,820 |
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangibles Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles may be impaired. We evaluate goodwill at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). We identify our reporting unit and determine the carrying value of the reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, to the reporting unit. Our reporting units are based on our organizational and reporting structure. We currently identify three reporting units. We begin with a qualitative assessment using inputs based on our business, our industry, and overall macroeconomic factors. If our qualitative assessment deems that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying amount, we then complete a quantitative assessment to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, based on the results of our qualitative assessments which determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded the carrying amounts and that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded the carrying amounts, we did not complete quantitative assessments, and we did not record any impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. Valuation of Long-Lived Assets We review long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of the asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets. If such assets are not considered to be fully recoverable, any impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets exceeds its respective fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we did not identify any triggering events that would require a quantitative assessment. Accounts Receivable, Net We provide an allowance for credit losses, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, existing economic conditions, and future expectations. Normal contracts receivables are typically due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Retainages are due 30 days after completion of the project and acceptance by the contract owner. Warranty retainage receivables, where applicable, are typically due two years after completion of the project and acceptance by the contract owner. Receivables past due more than 120 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluations and specific circumstances of the customer. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had an allowance for credit losses of $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Real Estate Transaction In July 2024, the Company closed a real estate purchase agreement to sell and leaseback three properties for $42.5 million. The transaction was accounted for as a failed sale-leaseback based on GAAP. As a result, the assets remain on the consolidated balance sheets at their historical net book values. A financing obligation liability was recognized in the amount of $42.5 million. The Company will not recognize rent expenses related to the leased assets. Instead, monthly rent payments under the lease agreement will be recorded as interest expense and a reduction of the outstanding liability. As of September 30, 2024, relating to the transaction noted above, the current outstanding liability is included in accrued liabilities and the long-term outstanding liability presented as financing obligations, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement” (“ASU 2023-05”), which requires that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. As a result, a newly formed joint venture, upon formation, would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value. ASU 2023-05 is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. We plan to adopt ASU 2023-05 in the first quarter of 2025, but do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 “Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” which amends GAAP to include 14 disclosure requirements that are currently required under SEC Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. Each amendment will be effective on the date on which the SEC removes the related disclosure requirement from SEC Regulation S-X or Registration S-K. The Company has evaluated the new standard and determined that it will have no material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures since the Company is already subject to the relevant SEC disclosure requirements. In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"), which requires expanded disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively and is first effective for our annual reporting for 2024 and for quarterly reporting beginning in 2025. This ASU affects financial statement disclosures only, and its adoption will not affect our condensed consolidated financial statements. On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which established new income tax disclosure requirements. Public business entities must apply the guidance to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We have not elected to early adopt this standard. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recent SEC Rules In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. Unless legal challenges to the rule prevail, this rule will require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports, and the revisions to Regulation S-X would apply to our financial statements beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently assessing the effect of these new rules on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the 10-K filed on March 4, 2024, and contained elsewhere herein, other than the policy for warrants, which is included below. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no significant changes in our use of estimates or significant accounting policies. Warrants The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, was conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. The Company has concluded that the public warrants and private warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.
