Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 28, 2024. In our opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair financial statement presentation have been made. The dollar amounts in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are shown in U.S. dollars and presented in millions and rounded to the nearest tenth of a million, unless otherwise noted, except for share and per share amounts.
Principles of Consolidation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Our joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications and Adjustments
Certain items have been reclassified in the prior year financial statements to conform to the presentation and classifications used in the current year. These reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
For the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, we recorded a $2.5 out of period adjustment as a reduction in service cost of revenues with an offset to accounts payable, to adjust estimated contract costs to actual costs incurred on installation projects which were completed during the years 2017 to 2023.
Use of Estimates in the Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, income taxes and the effective tax rates, inventory basis adjustments, the fair value of assets, liabilities, and assumptions related to business combinations, the recognition and valuation of unit-based compensation arrangements, the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, the commencement date of leases, the incremental borrowing rate used to calculate lease liabilities, estimated progress toward completion for certain revenue contracts, allowance for credit losses, fair values and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill.
Fair Value Measurement
We use valuation approaches that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. A three-tiered hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. This hierarchy requires that we use observable market data, when available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value:
Level 1, observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2, inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly;
Level 3, unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires that the Company develop its own assumptions.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable less allowance for credit losses, and accounts payable approximate the carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of our debt is estimated using fair value-based risk measurements that are indirectly observable, such as credit risk that fall within Level 2 of the Fair Value hierarchy. Our debt approximates its carrying amount as of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024 due to its variable interest rate that is tied to the current Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate plus an applicable margin (see Notes 9 and 10 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of our debt). Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased three months or less from maturity.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies have not changed materially from those described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Interest income on cash equivalents is offset against interest expense on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Interest income was $1.2 and $2.3 for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2025, respectively. Interest income was $0.4 for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2024.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable primarily arise from the sale of products and services to customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Additionally, accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value, net of allowance for credit losses, which is based on our assessment of the collectability of customer accounts.
The activity for the allowance for credit losses during the six month periods ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, is as follows:
(dollar amounts in millions)
Balance at December 28, 2024
$ 18.1 
Write-offs (3.8)
Provision for expected credit losses, net
0.3 
Balance at June 28, 2025
$ 14.6 
(dollar amounts in millions)
Balance at December 30, 2023 $ 3.6 
Write-offs (0.1)
Provision for expected credit losses, net
0.5 
Balance at June 29, 2024 $ 4.0 
Product Warranties
We record a liability for product warranties at the time of the related sale of goods. The liability is estimated using historical warranty experience, projected claim rates and expected costs per claim. We adjust our liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and the exposure can be estimated. Product failure rates as well as material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting a product failure affect our warranty liabilities. If actual costs differ from estimated costs, we must make a revision to the warranty liability. Generally, we offer warranties ranging between one and three years for our products with the exception of warranties for roofing at one of our business units, where we offer warranties of up to 10 years.
The activity related to product warranty liabilities recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities during the six month periods ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, is as follows:
(dollar amounts in millions)
Balance at December 28, 2024
$ 4.8 
Incremental warranty provision
0.2 
Warranty charges incurred
(0.2)
Balance at June 28, 2025
$ 4.8 
(dollar amounts in millions)
Balance at December 30, 2023
$ 2.3 
Incremental warranty provision
0.2 
Warranty charges incurred
(0.1)
Balance at June 29, 2024
$ 2.4 
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. We maintain cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed the insured limits of the local country. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts. We sell our products and services primarily in the United States. We perform ongoing evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and limit the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. We generally do not require our customers to provide collateral or other security to support accounts receivable.
As of June 28, 2025, no customers represented more than 10% of our accounts receivable balance. For the three and six months periods ended June 28, 2025, there were no customers that represented more than 10% of revenues. For the six month period ended June 28, 2025, we had one vendor that accounted for 14% of all raw material and finished goods purchases. This vendor provides raw materials which can be sourced by alternative vendors should the need arise.
Segments
We manage our operations through two operating and reportable segments: Janus North America and Janus International. These segments align our products and service offerings based on the geographic location between North America and International locations, which is consistent with how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews and evaluates our operations. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the financial performance of each operating segment. Our segments are strategic businesses that are managed separately because each one develops, manufactures and markets distinct products and services. Refer to Note 16, Segments Information, for further details.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s CODM uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The update was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted the guidance for the year ended December 28, 2024 and applied it retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon adoption, our disclosures regarding segment reporting were updated to comply with ASU 2023-07 and we have recast previously reported amounts across all reportable segments to conform to current segment presentation. The adoption of this ASU only affects our disclosures, with no impacts to our financial condition and results of operations.
On August 23, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, under which an entity that qualifies as either a joint venture or a corporate joint venture as defined in the FASB ASC master glossary is required to apply a new basis of accounting upon the formation of the joint venture. Specifically, the ASU provides that a joint venture or a corporate joint venture (collectively, “joint ventures”) must initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value on the formation date. The amendments are effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. We adopted this ASU during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and it had no impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. ASU 2024-03 is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expense and provide more detailed information to investors about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in a public entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and other disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendment in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The ASU incorporates several disclosure and presentation requirements currently residing in the SEC Regulations S-X and S-K. The amendments will be applied prospectively and are effective when the SEC removes the related requirements from Regulations S-X or S-K. Any amendments the SEC does not remove by June 30, 2027 will not be effective. As we are currently subject to these SEC requirements, this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which have been adopted or will be adopted as applicable, management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
