ORION ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Organization

Orion includes Orion Energy Systems, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation, and all consolidated subsidiaries. Orion is a developer, manufacturer and seller of lighting and energy management systems to commercial and industrial businesses, and federal and local governments, predominantly in North America.

Orion’s corporate offices and leased primary manufacturing operations are located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.  Orion leases office space in Jacksonville, Florida. Orion had leased office space in Chicago, Illinois, and Houston, Texas, but as of June 30, 2018, Orion had vacated these locations.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Orion Energy Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Orion have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 or other interim periods.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Orion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on June 5, 2019.

In the warranty rollforward in Note 10 – Accrued Expenses and Other, certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.  The reclassifications were immaterial to the financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that reporting period. Areas that require the use of significant management estimates include revenue recognition, inventory obsolescence, allowance for doubtful accounts, accruals for warranty and loss contingencies, income taxes, impairment analyses, and certain equity transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Orion's cash is deposited with two financial institutions. At times, deposits in these institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.  Orion has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant financial institution viability risk on these balances.

7


 

Orion purchases components necessary for its lighting products, including ballasts, lamps and LED components, from multiple suppliers.  For the three months ended June 30, 2019, one supplier accounted for 13.7% of total cost of revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, one supplier accounted for 11.4% of total cost of revenue.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, one customer accounted for 77.0% of total revenue.  For the three months ended June 30, 2018, no customer accounted for more than 10.0% of total revenue.

As of June 30, 2019, one customer accounted for 74.3% of Accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2019, one customer accounted for 56.2% of Accounts receivable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted Standards

On April 1, 2019, Orion adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, and subsequent amendments, which is included in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), retrospectively through a cumulative-effect adjustment.  Orion elected the package of practical expedients provided for in ASU 842, which among other things, allows companies to carry forward their historical lease classification.  Previously, Orion followed the guidance set forth in ASC 840, Leases.  

For Orion, the most significant difference between ASC 840 and ASC 842 is the requirement that lessees recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term operating leases.  Previously, the financial impact associated with operating leases was recorded only in Orion’s statement of operations.   Determining whether a contract includes a lease, and assessing whether the lease should be accounted for as a finance lease or an operating lease, is a matter of judgment based on whether the risks and rewards, as well as substantive control of the associated assets specified in the contract, have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee.  

Adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recording of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $0.2 million as of April 1, 2019.    There was no impact to retained earnings.   The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact Orion’s consolidated results of operations and had no impact on Orion’s cash flows.  Orion has updated its processes and controls necessary for implementing ASC 842, including the increased footnote disclosure requirements.

 

NOTE 3 — REVENUE

Changes in Accounting Policies

Orion adopted ASC 606 and ASC 340-40 (the “new standards”) as of April 1, 2018 for contracts with customers that were not fully complete as of April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new standards was recorded as an immaterial adjustment to the opening balance of retained deficit within Orion’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity.

General Information

Orion generates revenues primarily by selling commercial lighting fixtures and components and by installing these fixtures in its customer’s facilities.  Orion recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance in ASC 606 when control of the goods or services being provided (which Orion refers to as a performance obligation) is transferred to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration that management expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  Prices are generally fixed at the time of order confirmation.  The amount of expected consideration includes estimated deductions and early payment discounts calculated based on historical experience, customer rebates based on agreed upon terms applied to actual and projected sales levels over the rebate period, and any amounts paid to customers in conjunction with fulfilling a performance obligation.

8


 

If there are multiple performance obligations in a single contract, the contract’s total sales price is allocated to each individual performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price.  A performance obligation’s standalone selling price is the price at which Orion would sell such promised good or service separately to a customer.  Orion uses an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost-plus margin approach when one is not available.  The cost-plus margin approach is used to determine the stand-alone selling price for the installation performance obligation and is based on average historical installation margin.

Revenue derived from customer contracts which include only performance obligation(s) for the sale of lighting fixtures and components is classified as Product revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.   The revenue for these transactions is recorded at the point in time when management believes that the customer obtains control of the products, generally either upon shipment or upon delivery to the customer’s facility. This point in time is determined separately for each contract and requires judgment by management of the contract terms and the specific facts and circumstances concerning the transaction.

Revenue from a customer contract which includes both the sale of fixtures and the installation of such fixtures (which Orion refers to as a turnkey project) is allocated between each lighting fixture and the installation performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices.

Revenue from turnkey projects that is allocated to the sale of the lighting fixtures is recorded at the point in time when management believes the customer obtains control of the product(s) and is reflected in Product revenue.  This point in time is determined separately for each customer contract based upon the terms of the contract and the nature and extent of Orion’s control of the light fixtures during the installation.  Product revenue associated with turnkey projects can be recorded (a) upon shipment or delivery, (b) subsequent to shipment or delivery and upon customer payments for the light fixtures, (c) when an individual light fixture is installed and working correctly, or (d) when the customer acknowledges that the entire installation project is substantially complete.  Determining the point in time when a customer obtains control of the lighting fixtures in a turnkey project can be a complex judgment and is applied separately for each individual light fixture included in a contract.  In making this judgment, management considers the timing of various factors, including, but not limited to, those detailed below:

 

when there is a legal transfer of ownership;

 

when the customer obtains physical possession of the products;

 

when the customer starts to receive the benefit of the products;

 

the amount and duration of physical control that Orion maintains on the products after they are shipped to, and received at, the customer’s facility;

 

whether Orion is required to maintain insurance on the lighting fixtures when they are in transit and after they are delivered to the customer’s facility;

 

when each light fixture is physically installed and working correctly;

 

when the customer formally accepts the product; and

 

when Orion receives payment from the customer for the light fixtures.  

Revenue from turnkey projects that is allocated to the single installation performance obligation is reflected in Service  revenue.  Service revenue is recorded over-time as Orion fulfills its obligation to install the light fixtures.  Orion measures its performance toward fulfilling its performance obligations for installations using an output method that calculates the number of light fixtures completely installed as of the measurement date in comparison to the total number of light fixtures to be installed under the contract.

Most products are manufactured in accordance with Orion’s standard specifications.  However, some products are manufactured to a customer’s specific requirements with no alternative use to Orion.  In such cases, and when Orion has an enforceable right to payment, Product revenue is recorded on an over-time basis measured using an input methodology that calculates the costs incurred to date as compared to total expected costs.  There was no over-time revenue related to custom products recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2019 or June 30, 2018.

Orion also records revenue in conjunction with several limited power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) still outstanding. Those PPAs are supply-side agreements for the generation of electricity.  Orion’s last PPA expires in 2031.  Revenue associated with the sale of energy generated by the solar facilities under these PPAs is within the scope of ASC 606.  Revenues are recognized over-time and are equal to the amount billed to the customer, which is calculated by applying the fixed rate designated in the PPAs to the variable amount of electricity generated each month.  This approach is in accordance with the “right to invoice” practical expedient provided for in ASC 606.  Orion also recognizes revenue upon the sale to third parties of tax credits received from operating the solar facilities and from amortizing a grant received from the federal government during the period starting when the power generating facilities were constructed until the expiration of the PPAs; these revenues are not derived from contracts with customers and therefore not under the scope of ASC 606.

When shipping and handling activities are performed after a customer obtains control of the product, Orion has elected to treat shipping and handling costs as an activity necessary to fulfill the performance obligation to transfer product to the customer and not as a separate performance obligation.  Any shipping and handling costs charged to customers are recorded in Product revenue.  Shipping and handling costs are accrued and included in Cost of product revenue.

See Note 10, Accrued Expenses and Other for a discussion of Orion’s accounting for the warranty it provides to customers for its products and services.

Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net (excluded from revenues) basis.

 

Contract Fulfillment Costs

Costs associated with product sales are accumulated in inventory as the fixtures are manufactured and are transferred to Cost of product revenue at the time revenue is recorded.  See Note 5, Inventories, Net.  Costs associated with installation sales are expensed as incurred.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

Orion’s Product revenue includes revenue from contracts with customers accounted for under the scope of ASC 606 and revenue which is accounted for under other guidance.  For the three months ended June 30, 2019, Product revenue included $0.4 million derived from sales-type leases for light fixtures, $64 thousand derived from the sale of tax credits generated from Orion’s legacy operation for distributing solar energy, and $19 thousand derived from the amortization of federal grants received in 2010 and 2011 as reimbursement for a portion of the costs to construct the legacy solar facilities which are not under the scope of ASC 606.  All remaining Product revenue, and all Service revenue, are derived from contracts with customers as defined in ASC 606.

The primary end-users of Orion’s lighting products and services are (a) the federal government, and (b) commercial or industrial companies.

The federal government obtains Orion products and services primarily through turnkey project sales that Orion makes to a select group of contractors who focus on the federal government. Revenues associated with government end-users are primarily included in the Orion Engineered Systems Division segment.

Commercial or industrial end-users obtain Orion products and services through turnkey project sales or by purchasing products either direct from Orion or through distributors or energy service companies ("ESCOs").  Revenues associated with commercial and industrial end-users are included within each of Orion’s segments, dependent on the sales channel.

See Note 17, Segments, for additional discussion concerning Orion’s reportable segments.

Cash Flow Considerations

Customer payments for material-only orders are due shortly after shipment.

Turnkey projects where the end-user is the federal government typically span a three to six-month period.  The contracts for these sales often provide for monthly progress payments equal to ninety percent (90%) of the value provided by Orion during the month.

Turnkey projects where the end-user is a commercial or industrial company typically span between two weeks to three months.  Customer payment requirements for these projects vary by contract.  Some contracts provide for customer payments for products and services as they are delivered, other contracts specify that the customer will pay for the project in its entirety upon completion of the installation.

Orion provides long-term financing to one customer who frequently engages Orion in large turnkey projects that span between three and nine months.  The customer executes an agreement providing for monthly payments of the contract price, plus interest, over a five-year period.  The total transaction price in these contracts is allocated between product and services in the same manner as all other turnkey projects.  The portion of the transaction associated with the installation is accounted for consistently with all other installation related performance obligations.  The portion of the transaction associated with the sale of the multiple individual light fixtures is accounted for as sales-type leases in accordance with the guidance for leases.  Revenues associated with the sales-type leases are included in Product revenue and recorded for each fixture separately based on the customer’s monthly acknowledgment that specified fixtures have been installed and are operating as specified.

The payments associated with these transactions that are due during the twelve months subsequent to June 30, 2019 are included in Accounts receivable, net in Orion’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The remaining amounts due that are associated with these transactions are included in Other long-term assets in Orion’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

11


 

The customer’s monthly payment obligation commences after completion of the turnkey project.  Orion generally sells the receivable from the customer to an independent financial institution either during, or shortly after completion of, the installation period.  Upon execution of the receivables purchase / sales agreement, all amounts due from the customer are included in Revenues earned but not billed on Orion’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until cash is received from the financial institution.  The financial institution releases funds to Orion based on the customer’s monthly acknowledgment of the progress Orion has achieved in fulfilling its installation obligation. Orion provides the progress certifications to the financial institution one month in arrears.

The total amount received from the sales of these receivables during the three months ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, was $2.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively.  Orion’s losses on these sales were $47 thousand and $54 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, respectively and are included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

Orion expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within Sales and marketing expense.  There are no other capitalizable costs associated with obtaining contracts with customers.

Orion’s performance obligations related to lighting fixtures typically do not exceed nine months in duration.  As a result, Orion has elected the practical expedient that provides an exemption to the disclosure requirements regarding information about value assigned to remaining performance obligations on contracts that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Orion has also adopted the practical expedient that provides an exemption to the disclosure requirement of the value assigned to performance obligations associated with contracts that were not complete as of April 1, 2018.

Orion also elected the practical expedient that permits companies to not disclose quantitative information about the future revenue when revenue is recognized as invoices are issued to customers for services performed.

Other than the turnkey projects which result in sales-type leases discussed above, Orion generally receives full payment for satisfied performance obligations in less than one year.  Accordingly, Orion does not adjust revenues for the impact of any potential significant financing component as permitted by the practical expedients provided in ASC 606.

 

Contract Balances

A receivable is recognized when Orion has an enforceable right to payment in accordance with contract terms and an invoice has been issued to the customer.  Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30 days from the invoice date.

Revenue earned but not billed represents revenue that has been recognized in advance of billing the customer, which is a common practice in Orion turnkey contracts.  Once Orion has an unconditional right to consideration under a turnkey contract, Orion typically bills the customer accordingly and reclassifies the amount to Accounts receivable, net.  Revenue earned but not billed as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 includes $53 thousand and $0.7 million, respectively, which was not derived from contracts with customers and therefore not classified as a contract asset as defined by the new standards.

Deferred revenue, current as of June 30, 2019, and March 31, 2019 includes $46 thousand and $48 thousand, respectively, of contract liabilities which represented consideration received from customers prior to the point that Orion has fulfilled the promises included in a performance obligation and recorded revenue.

Deferred revenue, long-term consists of the unamortized portion of the funds received from the federal government in 2010 and 2011 as reimbursement for the costs to build the two facilities related to the PPAs.  As the transaction is not considered a contract with a customer, this value is not a contract liability as defined by the new standards.

NOTE 8 — LEASES

From time to time, Orion leases assets from third parties.  Orion also leases certain assets to third parties.  Effective April 1, 2019, leases are accounted for, and reported upon, following the requirements of ASC 842, Leases.   Previously, leases were accounted for, and reported upon, following the requirements of ASC 840, Leases.    

For Orion, the most significant difference between ASC 840 and ASC 842 is the requirement that it recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet whenever it leases assets from a third party.  Previously, under ASC 840, only assets leased from third parties that meet certain requirements, referred to as finance leases, were recorded on Orion’s balance sheet.   Previously, the financial impact of all other leases, referred to as operating leases, was limited to Orion’s results of operations.

Whether it is the lessee or the lessor, Orion’s determination of whether a contract includes a lease, and assessing how the lease should be accounted for, is a matter of judgment based on whether the risks and rewards, as well as substantive control of the assets specified in the contract, have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee.  The judgement considers matters such as whether the assets are transferred from the lessor to the lessee at the end of the contract, the term of the agreement in relation to the asset’s remaining economic useful life, and whether the assets are of such a specialized nature that the lessor will not have an alternative use for such assets at the termination of the agreement.  Other matters requiring judgement are the lease term when the agreement includes renewal or termination options and the interest rate used when initially determining the ROU asset and lease liability.

ROU assets represent Orion’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent Orion’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.   Under ASC 842, both finance and operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with initial terms in excess of 12 months are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.   When available, Orion uses the implicit interest rate in the lease when completing this calculation.   However, as most of Orion’s operating lease agreements generating ROU assets do not provide the implicit rate, Orion’s incremental borrowing rate under its line of credit, adjusted for differences in duration and the relative collateral value in relation to the payment obligation, at the commencement of the lease is generally used in this calculation.    The lease term includes options to extend or renew the agreement, or for early termination of the agreement, when it is reasonably certain that Orion will exercise such option.   ROU assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lease term.

Orion recognizes lease expense for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, referred to as short term leases, on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  

14


 

One of Orion’s frequent customers purchases products and installation services under agreements that provide for monthly payments, at a fixed monthly amount, of the contract price, plus interest, typically over a five-year period.   While Orion retains ownership of the light fixtures during the financing period, the transaction terms and the underlying economics associated with used lighting fixtures results in Orion essentially ceding ownership of the lighting fixtures to the customer after completion of the agreement.  The portions of the transaction associated with the sale of the light fixtures is accounted for as a sales-type lease.  The total transaction price in these contracts is allocated between the lease and non-lease components in the same manner as the total transaction price of other turnkey projects containing lighting fixtures and installation services.  

Orion leases portions of its corporate headquarters to third parties; all such agreements have been, and continue to be, classified as operating leases under the applicable authoritative accounting guidance.  The assets being leased continue to be included in Property and equipment, net.   Lease payments earned are recorded as a reduction in administrative expenses.

 

Assets Orion Leases from Other Parties

On March 31, 2016, Orion entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a third party to sell and leaseback Orion's primary manufacturing and distribution facility in Manitowoc, WI for gross cash proceeds of $2.6 million. The transaction closed on June 30, 2016.  Pursuant to the Lease Agreement, Orion is leasing approximately 196,000 square feet with rent at $2.00 per square foot per annum. Orion's monthly payment under this lease is approximately $38 thousand.  Orion is responsible for the costs of insurance and utilities for its portion of the facility.  These costs are considered variable lease costs in the quantitative disclosures below.  On March 22, 2018, both parties agreed to extend the lease until December 31, 2020 with no change in payment terms.  

The lease agreement provides the lessor the right to terminate the lease agreement at any time with twelve months’ notice to Orion.   As a result, the agreement is classified as a short-term lease.

In February 2014, Orion entered into a multi-year lease agreement for use of approximately 10,500 square feet of office space in a multi-use office building in Jacksonville Florida.  The lease has since been extended and presently terminates at June 30, 2020.   The agreement was classified as an operating lease and represents the single largest operating asset established upon the adoption of ASC 842.

Orion has leased other assets from third parties, principally office and production equipment.  The terms of our other leases vary from contract to contract and expire at various dates through 2020.

Assets Orion Leases to Other Parties

Orion provides long-term financing to one customer who frequently engages Orion in large turnkey projects that span between three and nine months. The customer executes an agreement providing for monthly payments, at a fixed monthly amount, of the contract price, plus interest, over typically a five-year period. The total transaction price in these contracts is allocated between product and services in the same manner as all other turnkey projects.   The portion of the transaction associated with the installation is accounted for consistently with all other installation related performance obligations under ASC 606.

While Orion retains ownership of the light fixtures during the financing period, the transaction terms and the underlying economics associated with used lighting fixtures results in Orion essentially ceding ownership of the lighting fixtures to the customer after completion of the agreement.  Therefore, the portions of the transaction associated with the sale of the multiple individual light fixtures is accounted for as a sales-type lease under ASC 842.  

Revenues, and production and acquisition costs, associated with sales-type leases are included in Product revenue and Costs of product revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. These amounts are recorded for each fixture separately based on the customer’s monthly acknowledgment that specified fixtures have been installed and are operating as specified.   The execution of the acknowledgement is considered the commencement date as defined in ASC 842.

The following chart shows the amount of revenue and cost of sales arising from sales-type leases during the three months ended June 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Other Agreements where Orion is the Lessor

Orion has leased unused portions of its corporate headquarters to third parties.  The length and payment terms of the leases vary from contract to contract and, in some cases, include options for the tenants to extend the lease terms.   Annual lease payments are recorded as a reduction in administrative operating expenses and not material in the three months ended June 30, 2019.   Orion accounts for these transactions as operating leases.
