Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and 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. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, and its results of operations, including its comprehensive income and stockholders’ equity for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Principles of Consolidation
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company’s joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification
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.

Prior Period Financial Statement Correction of Immaterial Error
Subsequent to the issuance of the fiscal year 2022 Form 10-K consolidated financial statements, an immaterial error was identified relating to certain contracts that were recognized as revenue based on two performance obligations, but it was subsequently determined that the performance obligations were not distinct within the context of the contract with the customer. The correction of this immaterial error led to a presentation change on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income and in Footnote 13 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2022, as illustrated in the table below. These presentation changes had no effect on our previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
The effect of correcting the immaterial error in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 is shown in the following table:

Use of Estimates
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.
Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, income taxes and the effective tax rates, reserves
for inventory obsolescence, the recognition and valuation of unit-based compensation arrangements, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, estimated progress toward completion for certain revenue contracts, allowances for uncollectible receivable balances, fair values and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill and assumptions used in the recognition of contract assets.
Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The Company qualifies as an “Emerging Growth Company” and has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows the Company to adopt the new or revised standard at the same time periods as private companies.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company uses 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 the Company 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, 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 the Company’s debt approximates its carrying amount as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to its variable interest rate that is tied to the current SOFR rate plus an applicable margin and consistency in our credit rating. To estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt, which consists of the First Lien Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company utilized fair value based risk measurements that are indirectly observable, such as credit risk that fall within Level 2 of the Fair Value hierarchy (see Notes 7 and 8 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for a further discussion of the Company’s debt).
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies have not changed materially from those described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value from the sale of products and services to established customers. All trade receivables are due in one year or less. The Company pools accounts receivable by customer type, commercial and self-storage, and by business units due to the similarity of risk characteristics within each group.
Commercial customers typically are customers contracting with the Company on short-term projects with smaller credit limits and overall, smaller project sizes. Due to the short-term nature and smaller scale of these types of projects, the Company expects minimal write-offs of its receivables at the commercial pool.
Self-storage projects typically involve general contractors and make up the largest portion of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. These projects are usually longer-term construction projects and billed over the course of construction. Credit limits are larger for these projects given the overall project size and duration. Due to the longer-term nature and larger scale of these types of projects, the Company expects a potential for more write-offs of its receivable balances within the self-storage pool.
At inception, we evaluate credit risk based on a variety of credit quality factors including prior payment experience, customer financial information, credit ratings, probabilities of default, industry trends, macroeconomic factors and other internal metrics. On an ongoing basis, we monitor credit quality based on past-due status as there is a meaningful correlation between the past-due status of customers and the risk of loss. In determining past-due status, we consider the receivable past due when any installment is over 30 days past due. Receivable balances are written off to the allowance for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, they are considered uncollectible. Revolving charge accounts are generally deemed to be uncollectible and written off to the allowance for credit losses when delinquency reaches 120 days, taking into consideration the financial condition of the customer.
The Company uses the loss-rate method in the CECL analysis for trade receivables and contract assets. The allowance for credit losses reflects the estimate of the amount of receivables that the Company will be unable to collect based on historical collection experience and, as applicable, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. The Company's estimate reflects changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Accordingly, the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance.
The activity for the allowance for credit losses during the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, is as follows:
September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Balance at beginning of period $ 4.5  $ 5.4 
CECL Adoption (1)
—  0.4 
Write-offs —  (3.0)
Provision (reversal), net (0.7) 1.7 
Balance at end of period $ 3.8  $ 4.5 

(1) On January 2, 2022, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which introduced a new model known as CECL.
Product Warranties
The Company records 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. The Company adjusts its 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 the Company's warranty liabilities. If actual costs differ from estimated costs, the Company must make a revision to the warranty liability. Generally, the Company offers warranties ranging between 1-3 years for our products with the exception of roofing at one of our business units which is up to 10 years.

The activity related to product warranty liabilities recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, is as follows:
September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Balance at beginning of period $ 0.9  $ 0.7 
Aggregate changes in the product warranty liability 1.0  0.2 
Balance at end of period $ 1.9  $ 0.9 
Treasury Stock
We account for treasury stock under the cost method pursuant to the provisions of ASC 505-30, Treasury Stock. Under the cost method, the gross cost of the shares reacquired is charged to a contra equity account, treasury stock. The equity accounts that were originally credited for the original share issuance, Common Stock and additional paid-in capital, remain intact.
If the treasury shares are ever reissued in the future at a price higher than its cost, the difference will be recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price lower than its cost, the difference will be recorded as a component of additional paid-in-capital to the extent that there are previously recorded gains to offset the losses. If there are no treasury stock gains in additional paid-in-capital, the losses upon re-issuance of treasury stock are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If treasury stock is reissued in the future, a cost flow assumption will be adopted to compute excesses and deficiencies upon subsequent share re-issuance.
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed the insured limits of the local country. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company sells its products and services mainly in the United States and European regions. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary. The Company generally does not require its customers to provide collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance.
Segments
The Company manages its operations through two operating and reportable segments: Janus North America and Janus International. These segments align the Company’s products and service offerings based on the geographic location between North America and International locations which is consistent with how the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), reviews and evaluates the Company’s operations. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the financial performance of each operating segment. The Company’s segments are strategic businesses that are managed separately because each one develops, manufactures and markets distinct products and services. Refer to Note 14, Segments, for further detail.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"), which amends ASC 805, Business Combinations (Topic 805), to add contract assets and contract liabilities to the list of exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and to require that an acquiring entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASC 606"). Janus will be applying the pronouncement prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the adoption date.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and subsequent amendment to the initial guidance: ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (collectively, “Topic 848”). Topic 848 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. ASU 2022-06 defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. Effective April 2, 2023, the Company transitioned its credit agreements from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on April 2, 2023, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which amends or supersedes various SEC paragraphs within the Codification to conform to past SEC announcements and guidance issued by the SEC. The ASU does not provide any new guidance, so there is no transition or effective date associated with it. The Company does not believe this will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which will be adopted as applicable, management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
