TOOTSIE ROLL INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022
(in thousands except per share amounts) (Unaudited)
Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
The foregoing data has been prepared from the unaudited financial
records of Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. (the “Company”). In
the opinion of Management, all adjustments, which are of a normal
recurring nature, and necessary for a fair statement of the results
for the interim period have been reflected. Certain amounts
previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation. These consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the related notes included in the Company’s
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form
10-K”).
Results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2022 are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year
to end December 31, 2022 because of the seasonal nature of the
Company’s operations. Historically, the third quarter has been the
Company’s largest net product sales quarter due to pre-Halloween
net product sales.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the
recent novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic. The
Company continues to actively monitor COVID-19 and its potential
impact on our operations and financial results. The impact that
COVID-19 will have on our consolidated financial statements
throughout 2022 and beyond remains uncertain and ultimately will be
dictated by the length and severity of the pandemic and Covid-19
variants, the pace of the “reopening” of the economy and economic
recovery, and federal, state, local and foreign government
actions taken in response. The effects of Covid-19 pandemic are
unprecedented, and therefore the Company is unable to determine its
effects on its net product sales and net earnings for the balance
of 2022 and beyond.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues, primarily net product sales resulting from
the sale of goods, reflect the consideration to which the Company
expects to be entitled generally based on customer purchase orders.
The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic
606. Adjustments for estimated customer cash discounts upon
payment, discounts for price adjustments, product returns,
allowances, and certain advertising and promotional costs,
including consumer coupons, are variable consideration and are
recorded as a reduction of net product sales revenue in the same
period the related net product sales are recorded. Such estimates
are calculated using historical averages adjusted for any expected
changes due to current business conditions and experience. A net
product sale is recorded when the Company delivers the product to
the customer or, in certain instances, when the customer picks up
the goods at the Company’s distribution center and thereby obtains
control of such product. Amounts billed and due from our customers
are classified as accounts receivable trade on the balance sheet
and require payment on a short-term basis. Accounts receivable
trade are unsecured. Shipping and handling costs of $19,060 and
$17,743 in third quarter 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $49,754
and $40,319 in nine months 2022 and 2021, respectively, are
included in selling, marketing and administrative expenses. Royalty
income from sales-based licensing arrangements, pursuant to which
revenue is recognized as the third-party licensee sales occur,and
rental income are not considered revenue from contracts from
customers and are presented separately from net product revenue as
rental and royalty revenue.
Leases
The Company identifies leases by evaluating its contracts to
determine if the contract conveys the right to use an identified
asset for a stated period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company considers whether it can control the underlying asset
and have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic
benefits or outputs from the asset. Leases with terms greater
than 12 months are classified as either operating or finance leases
at the commencement date. For these leases, we record the
present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term as
a lease liability with an offsetting right-of-use asset that is
then presented net of any deferred rent or lease
