Organization |
Vivint Solar, Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.” The Company most commonly offers solar energy to residential customers through long-term customer contracts, such as power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) and legal-form leases (“Solar Leases”). The Company also offers its customers the option to purchase solar energy systems (“System Sales”) through third-party loan offerings or a cash purchase. The Company enters into customer contracts through a sales organization that primarily uses a direct-to-home sales model. The long-term customer contracts under PPAs and Solar Leases are typically for 20 years and require the customer to make monthly payments to the Company. The Company has formed various investment funds and entered into long-term debt facilities to monetize the recurring customer payments under its long-term customer contracts and investment tax credits (“ITCs”), accelerated tax depreciation and other incentives associated with residential solar energy systems. The Company uses the cash received from the investment funds, long-term debt facilities and cash generated from operations, including System Sales, to finance a portion of the Company’s variable and fixed costs associated with installing solar energy systems. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K dated as of March 5, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which were considered of normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial results. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other interim period or other future year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those of its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company uses a qualitative approach in assessing the consolidation requirement for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). This approach focuses on determining whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE. All of these determinations involve significant management judgments and estimates. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary in the operational VIEs in which it has an equity interest. The Company evaluates its relationships with the VIEs on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For additional information, see Note 14—Investment Funds. The condensed consolidated statements of operations items formerly captioned “Operating leases and incentives” and “Cost of revenue—operating leases and incentives” will now be captioned “Customer agreements and incentives” and “Cost of revenue—customer agreements and incentives” beginning in the current period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet items formerly captioned “Current portion of capital lease obligation” and “Capital lease obligation, net of current portion” will now be captioned “Current portion of finance lease obligation” and “Finance lease obligation, net of current portion” beginning in the current period. Amounts in these balance sheet items were capital leases under ASC 840 in periods ending prior to January 1, 2019, while amounts in these balance sheet items are finance leases under ASC 842 in periods ending subsequent to January 1, 2019. See “—Leases” below for further explanation of these changes. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly makes significant estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, ITCs; revenue recognition; solar energy systems, net; the impairment analysis of long-lived assets; stock-based compensation; the provision for income taxes; the valuation of derivative financial instruments; the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies; and non-controlling interests and redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Liquidity In order to grow, the Company requires cash to finance the deployment of solar energy systems. As of the date of this filing, the Company will require additional sources of cash beyond current cash balances, and currently available financing facilities to fund long-term planned growth. If the Company is unable to secure additional financing when needed, or upon desirable terms, the Company may be unable to finance installation of customers’ systems in a manner consistent with past performance, cost of capital could increase, or the Company may be required to significantly reduce the scope of operations, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. While the Company believes additional financing is available and will continue to be available to support current levels of operations, the Company believes it has the ability and intent to reduce operations to the level of available financial resources for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report, if necessary. Performance Obligation—Solar Energy system and Product Sales For certain System Sales, the company provides limited post-sale services to monitor the productivity of the solar energy system for 20 years after it has been placed into service. The Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to the monitoring services by estimating the fair market price that the Company would charge for these services if offered separately from the sale of the solar energy system. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had allocated deferred revenue of $3.7 million and $3.3 million to monitoring services that will be recognized over the term of the monitoring services. Leases The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”) and its subsequent updates effective January 1, 2019. These updates are intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The Company utilized the additional transition method permitted by ASU 2018-11 and adopted Topic 842 using a modified retrospective method with a cumulative-effect adjustment to its accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019. As such, comparative periods ending prior to January 1, 2019 are presented in accordance with ASC 840 and periods ending after January 1, 2019 are presented in accordance with Topic 842. The impact to the accumulated deficit as a result of adopting ASU 2016-02 was a net reduction of approximately $0.2 million. The Company did not use the transitionary practical expedients allowed under Topic 842, and as such, the Company reassessed all contracts existing at the adoption date of January 1, 2019. The Company elected to treat leases with lease terms of 12 months or less as short-term leases. No right-of-use assets or lease liabilities are recognized for short-term leases. The Company has also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for all classes of leased assets except for building leases. The adoption of this ASU resulted in right-of-use assets of $34.6 million related to operating leases being recognized in other non-current assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019. Corresponding lease liabilities of $43.8 million related to operating leases were recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019, with the current portion recognized in accrued and other current liabilities and the long-term portion recognized in other non-current liabilities. In addition, at January 1, 2019, approximately $1.0 million of lease-related liabilities were removed from accrued and other current liabilities and approximately $8.2 million of lease-related liabilities were removed from other non-current liabilities and included as reductions to the initial operating lease right-of-use assets. As of January 1, 2019, finance lease right-of-use assets of $0.9 million continued to be recorded in property and equipment, net. Any changes in lease terms or estimates subsequent to adoption of the ASU 2016-02 are reflected in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company’s PPAs, Solar Leases, and associated rebates and incentives no longer meet the definition of a lease under Topic 842. Accordingly, they are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606 beginning on January 1, 2019. The Company concluded that there was no change to its revenue recognition practices for its PPA revenue stream under ASC 606. For Solar Leases, the Company concluded that the impact of applying ASC 606 is immaterial. The Company also concluded that there was no material change related to the timing of revenue recognition for rebates and incentives under ASC 606. Upon the adoption of Topic 842, the Company no longer capitalizes initial direct costs and amortizes them to the respective cost of revenue line items. Instead, the Company now capitalizes costs of obtaining a contract which meet the “incremental” criteria defined in ASC 340 to other non-current assets, net. These costs are now amortized over the period of benefit to sales and marketing expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For purposes of comparison, the following tables show how the balances as of December 31, 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 would have changed if the effects of adopting Topic 842 had been applied to those balances (in thousands):
Software Implementation Costs The Company adopted ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, effective January 1, 2019. This update clarifies that entities should capitalize implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts, which the Company will now record within other non-current assets, net. Entities expense the capitalized costs over the term of the hosting arrangement. The service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by this update, meaning service costs will continue to be expensed as incurred. The Company is applying the amendments in this update on a prospective basis. No prior periods were impacted as a result of adopting this ASU. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The objective of this update is to provide users of financial statements with more useful information by changing the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses to a more forward-looking methodology that reflects expected credit losses. Under this ASU, the Company’s accounts receivable are considered financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and will need to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This ASU will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020 and will be applied through a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. |

Fair Value Measurements |
The Company measures and reports its cash equivalents at fair value. The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets measured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):
The interest rate swaps (Level 2) were valued using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates an assessment of the risk of non-performance by the interest rate swap counterparties and the Company. The valuation model uses various observable inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, credit spreads and measures of volatility. The Company has interest rate swaps for its Aggregation Facility, which are not designated as hedges, the fair value of which is represented in financial liabilities above. The Company also has interest rate swaps for its Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-2, which are designated as hedges, the fair value of which is represented in financial liabilities above. The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s long-term debt were as follows (in thousands):
The Company’s outstanding principal balance of long-term debt is carried at cost. The Company estimated the fair values of its floating-rate debt facilities (Level 2) to approximate their carrying values as interest accrues at floating rates based on market rates. The Company’s fixed-rate debt facilities (Level 2) were valued using quoted prices for the fixed rate debt facilities that are publicly traded, or quoted prices for corporate debt with similar terms for debt facilities that are not publicly traded. |

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following (in thousands):
The Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment of $0.1 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842. As part of the adoption, the Company reassessed all contracts existing at the adoption date. The Company determined that a number of vehicle leases that were previously classified as capital leases under ASC 840 were no longer classified as finance leases under Topic 842. This resulted in a reduction to the gross asset and accumulated depreciation and amortization balances related to vehicles and will result in lower depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment compared to prior periods. |

Debt Obligations |
Debt obligations consisted of the following as of March 31, 2019 (in thousands, except interest rates):
Debt obligations consisted of the following as of December 31, 2018 (in thousands, except interest rates):
The Company’s debt facilities include customary events of default, conditions to borrowing and covenants, including covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, make investments, make fundamental changes to their business, dispose of assets, make certain types of restricted payments or enter into certain related party transactions. Additionally, the Company is required to maintain certain financial measurements and interest rate swaps for certain debt facilities. These restrictions do not impact the Company’s ability to enter into investment funds, including those that are similar to those entered into previously. The Company’s debt facilities are secured by net cash flows from long-term customer contracts. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2019. Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-1 In June 2018, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million of Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-1, Class A (the “2018-1 Class A Notes”) and an aggregate principal amount of $66.0 million of Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-1, Class B (the “2018-1 Class B Notes” and together with the 2018-1 Class A Notes, the “2018-1 Notes”). The 2018-1 Class A Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 4.73% and have an anticipated repayment date of October 30, 2028. The 2018-1 Class B Notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 7.37% and have an anticipated repayment date of October 30, 2028. In addition to customary events of default and covenants, the 2018-1 Notes are subject to unscheduled prepayment events that generally are customary in nature for solar securitizations of this type, including (1) asset coverage ratios falling below certain levels, (2) a debt service coverage ratio falling below certain levels, (3) the failure to maintain insurance, and (4) the failure to repay the notes in full prior to the anticipated repayment date for such class of notes. The occurrence of an unscheduled prepayment event or an event of default could result in the more rapid repayment of the 2018-1 Notes, and the occurrence of an event of default could, in certain instances, result in the liquidation of the collateral securing the 2018-1 Notes. The 2018-1 Notes are secured by, and payable solely from the cash flow generated by the membership interests in certain indirectly owned subsidiaries of the Company, each of which subsidiaries is the managing member of a project company that owns a pool of photovoltaic systems and related Solar Leases and PPAs and ancillary rights and agreements that were originated by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $13.6 million in required reserves outstanding in collateral accounts with the administrative agent, which are included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-2 In June 2018, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $296.0 million of Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-2, Class A (the “2018-2 Class A Notes”) and an aggregate principal amount of $49.0 million of Solar Asset Backed Notes, Series 2018-2, Class B (the “2018-2 Class B Notes” and together with the 2018-2 Class A Notes, the “2018-2 Notes”). The 2018-2 Class A Notes accrue interest at a variable spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) that is intended to result in a weighted average spread for all 2018-2 Notes of 2.95%. The 2018-2 Class B Notes accrue interest at a spread over LIBOR of 4.75% or, if no 2018-2 Class A Notes are outstanding, 2.95%. The Company entered into an interest rate swap concurrent with the issuance of the 2018-2 Notes that results in an implied all-in interest rate of approximately 5.95%. See Note 13—Derivative Financial Instruments. The 2018-2 Notes have a stated maturity of August 29, 2023. The 2018-2 Notes have the same events of default, covenants and unscheduled prepayment events as the 2018-1 Notes. In addition, the 2018-2 Notes are subject to unscheduled prepayment events relating to certain change of control events and certain liquidity requirements. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $25.1 million in required reserves outstanding in collateral accounts with the administrative agent, which are included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. 2016 Term Loan Facility In June 2018, the Company used proceeds from the issuance of the 2018-1 Notes and 2018-2 Notes to pay off the outstanding balance of $282.3 million on the credit facility entered into by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in August 2016 (the “2016 Term Loan Facility”) and terminated the credit agreement. At termination, the outstanding balance was composed of $281.8 million of principal and $0.5 million of accrued interest. The termination of the 2016 Term Loan Facility was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. As such, the remaining $6.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2016 Term Loan Facility were recognized in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2018. There was no prepayment fee associated with the termination of the 2016 Term Loan Facility. Subordinated HoldCo Facility In June 2018, the Company used proceeds from the issuance of the 2018-1 Notes and 2018-2 Notes to pay off the outstanding balance of $206.4 million on the credit facility entered into by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in March 2016 (the “Subordinated HoldCo Facility”) and terminated the financing agreement. At termination, the outstanding balance was composed of $196.6 million of principal, $3.9 million of accrued interest, and a prepayment fee of $5.9 million, which was calculated as 3.0% of the outstanding principal balance. The termination of the Subordinated HoldCo Facility was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. As such, the remaining $2.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Subordinated HoldCo Facility were recognized in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2018. The prepayment fee of $5.9 million was also recognized in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2018. 2017 Term Loan Facility In January 2017, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a long-term fixed rate credit agreement (the “2017 Term Loan Facility”). Interest on borrowings accrues at an annual fixed rate equal to 6.0% and is payable in arrears. Certain principal payments are due on a quarterly basis, subject to the occurrence of certain events. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $19.7 million in required reserves outstanding in collateral accounts with the administrative agent, which were included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. Forward Flow Loan Facility In August 2018, a subsidiary which is indirectly owned by the Company together with investors, entered into a loan agreement (the “Forward Flow Loan Facility”) pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $130.0 million. The borrower may make multiple borrowings under the Forward Flow Loan Facility during the availability period, which will continue no later than October 31, 2019. After the availability period, all outstanding loans under the Forward Flow Loan Facility will be aggregated into a single term loan with a maturity date 20 years after the date of aggregation. Interest on each loan will accrue at an annual rate equal to the U.S. swap rate for the weighted-average life of such loan, plus an applicable margin equal to the greater of (a) 1.9% plus a spread adjustment based on the risk premium on the borrowing date relative to the market index-based risk premium on the closing date and (b) 1.5%. Scheduled principal payments are due on a quarterly basis, at the end of January, April, July and October of each year. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company will be required to make prepayments of the loans, including payment of a make-whole amount in certain circumstances. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $4.1 million in required reserves outstanding in collateral accounts with the administrative agent, which were included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. Credit Agreement In February 2016, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a fixed rate credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). Principal and interest payments under the Credit Agreement are paid quarterly over the term of the loan. Interest accrues on borrowings at a fixed rate of 6.50%. Aggregation Facility In September 2014, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an aggregation credit facility (as amended, the “Aggregation Facility”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate of $375.0 million and, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and the approval of the lenders, up to an additional aggregate of $175.0 million in borrowings. Prepayments are permitted under the Aggregation Facility. Under the Aggregation Facility, interest on borrowings accrues at a floating rate equal to either (1)(a) LIBOR or (b) the greatest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the administrative agent’s prime rate and (iii) LIBOR plus 1% and (2) a margin that varies between 3.25% during the period during which the Company may incur borrowings and 3.75% after such period. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $2.4 million in required reserves outstanding in collateral accounts with the administrative agent, which were included in restricted cash and cash equivalents. Working Capital Facility In March 2015, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “Working Capital Facility”) pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million from certain financial institutions. In addition to the outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2019, the Company had established letters of credit under the Working Capital Facility for up to $13.9 million related to insurance contracts. Prepayments are permitted under the Working Capital Facility. Interest accrues on borrowings at a floating rate equal to, depending on the type of borrowing, (1) a rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for the interest period divided by one minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage, plus a margin of 3.25%; or (2) the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the Citibank prime rate and (c) the one-month interest period Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%, plus a margin of 2.25%. Interest is payable depending on the type of borrowing at the end of (1) the interest period that the Company may elect as a term, not to exceed three months, (2) quarterly or (3) at maturity of the Working Capital Facility. The Company is required to maintain $30.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and certain investments as of the last day of each quarter. As of March 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. |

Leases |
The Company is the lessee in substantially all of its lease arrangements. The Company did not enter into any leases with related parties during the presented periods. The Company makes significant assumptions and judgments when assessing contracts for lease components, determining lease classifications and calculating right-of-use asset and lease liability values. These assumptions and judgements may include the useful lives and fair values of the leased assets, the implicit rate underlying the Company’s leases, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate or the Company’s intent to exercise or not exercise options available in lease contracts. Lease costs and other information consisted of the following (in thousands, except terms and rates):
Finance Leases The Company’s finance leases relate to fleet vehicles. All of the Company’s fleet vehicles are leased pursuant to master lease agreements for a period of three to five years. The master lease agreements allow for the Company to extend fleet vehicle leases on a month-to-month basis. For administrative convenience, the Company will often commit to extension periods of up to one year. As the extensions are not always utilized and are not contractually bound to a specific period of time, these extensions are not included in the initial right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Instead, these extensions are treated as new leases. The master lease agreements stipulate minimum residual value guarantees that are not typically recognized as part of the Company’s right-of use assets and lease liabilities as these residual value guarantees are not probable of being owed. The rates implicit in the Company’s fleet vehicle finance leases are determinable, and the Company uses those rates to calculate the present value of its lease liabilities related to fleet vehicles. Future minimum lease payments for the Company’s finance leases as of March 31, 2019 were as follows (in thousands):
Operating Leases The Company has entered into lease agreements for offices, warehouses and related equipment located in states in which the Company conducts operations. The Company’s corporate office lease was amended in February 2019 to extend the term by an additional three years, for a total lease term of 15 years. The corporate office lease includes options to extend the lease term for two additional periods of five years. The Company’s warehouse lease agreements range from a term of one to seven years, with five years being the most common lease term. The warehouse lease agreements typically include options to extend the lease term. The lease agreements do not include purchase options. The Company includes lease extension options in the right-of-use asset and lease liability when the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise the options. The Company’s equipment lease agreements range from three to five years. The rates implicit in the Company’s operating leases are not readily determinable. As such, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of its operating lease liabilities. For all non-cancellable lease arrangements, there are no bargain renewal options, penalties for failure to renew, or any guarantee by the Company of the lessor’s debt or a loan from the Company to the lessor related to the leased property. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases as of March 31, 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

Derivative Financial Instruments |
Derivative financial instruments at fair value consisted of the following (in thousands):
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk relating to its outstanding debt facilities that have variable interest rates. In connection with the March 2017 amendment of the Aggregation Facility, the Company is required to maintain interest rate swaps such that at least 75% of the outstanding loan balance of the Aggregation Facility is hedged. The Company is required to meet this threshold within 15 business days after the end of each quarterly period. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $40.0 million. The Company entered the required swaps subsequent to period end and is in compliance with the hedging requirement. The interest rate swaps terminate when the Aggregation Facility matures in September 2020. The Company did not designate these interest rate swaps as hedge instruments and accounts for any changes in fair value in other expense (income), net. In connection with the 2018-2 Notes, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to offset changes in the variable interest rate for a portion of these notes. As of March 31, 2019, the notional amount of these interest rate swaps was $325.2 million. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps decreases through the maturity of the 2018-2 Notes, similar to the Company’s estimated semi-annual principal payments on the 2018-2 Notes through August 2023. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The amount of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) expected to be reclassified to interest expense within the next 12 months is approximately $1.8 million. The Company will discontinue the hedge accounting designation of these derivatives if interest payments on LIBOR-indexed floating rate loans compared to the payments under the derivatives are no longer highly effective. The Company records derivatives at fair value. The losses (gains) on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges recognized in OCI, before tax effect, consisted of the following (in thousands):
The losses (gains) on derivative financial instruments recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, before tax effect, consisted of the following (in thousands):

Summarized Financial Data Of Subsidiary [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Investment Funds |
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had formed investment funds for the purpose of funding the purchase of solar energy systems under long-term customer contracts. The aggregate carrying value of these funds’ assets and liabilities (after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances) in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows (in thousands):
Under the fund agreements, cash distributions of income and other receipts by the funds, net of agreed-upon expenses and estimated expenses, tax benefits and detriments of income and loss, and tax benefits of tax credits, are assigned to the fund investors and the Company’s subsidiaries as specified in contractual arrangements. As such, the cash held in investment funds is not readily available to the Company due to the timing of distributions. Certain of these fund arrangements have call and put options to acquire the investor’s equity interest as specified in the contractual agreements. Once the investor’s equity interest is acquired by the Company, the assets, liabilities and operations of the investment fund become wholly owned and no longer require an assessment of non-controlling interests. Fund investors for three of the funds are managed indirectly by The Blackstone Group L.P. (the “Sponsor”) and are considered related parties. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the cumulative total of contributions into the VIEs by all investors was $1,649.7 million and $1,565.3 million. Of these contributions, a cumulative total of $110.0 million was contributed by related parties in prior periods. A third-party provider has agreed to perform backup maintenance services for all funds, if necessary. Lease Pass-Through Financing Obligation During 2015, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a lease pass-through fund arrangement under which the Company contributed solar energy systems and the investor contributed cash. The net carrying value of the related solar energy systems was $45.2 million and $55.8 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company accounts for the residual of the large upfront payments, net of amounts allocated to the ITCs, and subsequent periodic payments received from the fund investor as a borrowing by recording the proceeds received as a lease pass-through financing obligation, which will be repaid through customer payments that will be received by the investor. Under this approach, the Company continues to account for the arrangement with the customers in its condensed consolidated financial statements, whether the cash generated from the customer arrangements is received by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary or paid directly to the fund investor. A portion of the amounts received by the fund investor from customer payments is applied to reduce the lease pass-through financing obligation, and the balance is allocated to interest expense. The customer payments are recognized into revenue based on cash receipts during the period as required by GAAP. Interest is calculated on the lease pass-through financing obligation using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the interest rate that equates the present value of the cash amounts to be received by a fund investor over the master lease term with the present value of the cash amounts paid by the investor to the Company, adjusted for any payments made by the Company. Any additional master lease prepayments by the investor would be recorded as an additional lease pass-through financing obligation, while any refunds of master lease prepayments would reduce the lease pass-through financing obligation. The lease pass-through financing obligation is nonrecourse. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had recorded financing liabilities of $5.3 million for each period related to this fund arrangement, which represents the lease pass-through financing obligation recorded in other liabilities. Guarantees With respect to the investment funds, the Company and the fund investors have entered into guaranty agreements under which the Company guarantees the performance of certain financial obligations of its subsidiaries to the investment funds. These guarantees do not result in the Company being required to make payments to the fund investors unless such payments are mandated by the investment fund governing documents and the investment fund fails to make such payment. Each of the Company’s investment funds and financing subsidiaries maintains separate books and records from each other and from the Company. The assets of each investment fund are not available to satisfy the debts or obligations of any other investment fund, subsidiary or the Company. The Company is contractually obligated to make certain VIE investors whole for losses that the investors may suffer in certain limited circumstances resulting from the disallowance or recapture of ITCs. The Company has concluded that the likelihood of a significant recapture event is remote and consequently has not recorded any liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for any potential recapture exposure. The maximum potential future payments that the Company could have to make under this obligation would depend on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) successfully asserting upon audit that the fair market values of the solar energy systems sold or transferred to the funds as determined by the Company exceeded the allowable basis for the systems for purposes of claiming ITCs. The fair market values of the solar energy systems and related ITCs are determined and the ITCs are allocated to the fund investors in accordance with the funds’ governing agreements. Due to uncertainties associated with estimating the timing and amounts of distributions, the likelihood of an event that may trigger repayment, forfeiture or recapture of ITCs to such investors, and the fact that the Company cannot determine how the IRS will evaluate system values used in claiming ITCs, the Company cannot determine the potential maximum future payments that are required under these guarantees. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has not made any payments under these guarantees. However, several recent investment funds, the 2018-1 Notes and the 2018-2 Notes have required the Company to prepay insurance premiums to cover the risk of ITC recapture. The Company amortizes this prepaid insurance expense over the ITC recapture period. The Company had prepaid insurance balances of $7.9 million and $8.3 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. From time to time, the Company incurs fees for non-performance, which non-performance may include, but is not limited to, delays in the installation process and interconnection to the power grid of solar energy systems and other factors. Based on the terms of the investment fund agreements, the Company will either reimburse a portion of the fund investor’s capital or pay the fund investor a non-performance fee. No distributions were paid to reimburse fund investors during the three months ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, no accrual for additional distributions was required. As a result of the guaranty arrangements in certain funds, the Company was required to hold a minimum cash balance of $10.0 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which is classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents. |

Equity [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests and Equity |
Common Stock The Company had shares of common stock reserved for issuance as follows (in thousands):
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests and Non-Controlling Interests Seven of the investment funds include a right for the non-controlling interest holder to require the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary to purchase all of its membership interests in the fund (each, a “Put Option”). The purchase price for the fund investor’s interest in the seven investment funds under the Put Options is the greater of fair market value at the time the option is exercised and a specified amount, ranging from $2.1 million to $4.1 million. The Put Options for these seven investment funds are exercisable beginning on the date that specified conditions are met for each respective fund. The first of the Put Options are expected to become exercisable beginning in the second quarter of 2021. Because the Put Options represent redemption features that are not solely within the control of the Company, the non-controlling interests in these investment funds are presented outside of permanent equity. Redeemable non-controlling interests are recorded using the greater of their carrying value at each reporting date (which is impacted by attribution under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method) or their estimated redemption value in each reporting period. In all investment funds except one, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary has the right to require the non-controlling interest holder to sell all of its membership units to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (each, a “Call Option”). The purchase price for the fund investors’ interests under the Call Options varies by fund, but is generally the greater of a specified amount, which ranges from approximately $1.2 million to $7.0 million, the fair market value of such interest at the time the option is exercised, or an amount that causes the fund investor to achieve a specified return on investment. The Call Options are exercisable beginning on the date that specified conditions are met for each respective fund. The first of the Call Options are expected to become exercisable beginning in the third quarter of 2020. |

Income Taxes |
The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was calculated on a discrete basis resulting in a consolidated quarterly effective income tax rate of (44.5)% and (43.6)%. The variations between the consolidated effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were primarily attributable to the tax gains recognized on the sale of solar energy systems to investment funds and non-controlling interests and redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company sells solar energy systems to its investment funds for income tax purposes. As the investment funds are consolidated by the Company, the gain on the sale of the solar energy systems is eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. However, this gain is recognized for tax reporting purposes. The Company accounts for the income tax consequences of these intra-entity transfers as a component of income tax expense during the period in which the transfers occur. |

Related Party Transactions |
The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations included related party transactions of $0.8 million and $0.7 million within sales and marketing for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Vivint Services The Company has negotiated and entered into a number of agreements with its sister company, Vivint, Inc. (“Vivint”). In August 2017, the Company entered into a sales dealer agreement with Vivint, pursuant to which each company will act as a non-exclusive dealer for the other party to market, promote and sell each other’s products. The agreement has an initial term of two years and replaces substantially all of the activities being undertaken under the parties’ former marketing and customer relations agreement. The Company and Vivint also agreed to extend the term of the non-solicitation provisions under an existing non-competition agreement to match the term of the sales dealer agreement. The Company incurred fees under agreements with Vivint of $2.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. These amounts reflect the level of services provided by Vivint on behalf of the Company. Payables to Vivint recorded in accounts payable were $0.1 million and $0.2 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These payables include amounts due to Vivint related primarily to the sales dealer agreement. Advances Receivable—Related Party Net amounts due from direct-sales personnel were $4.0 million and $5.2 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company provided a reserve of $1.0 million and $0.9 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 related to advances to direct-sales personnel who have terminated their employment agreement with the Company. Investment Funds Fund investors for three of the investment funds are indirectly managed by the Sponsor and accordingly are considered related parties. The Company accrued equity distributions to these entities of $1.1 million and $1.5 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, included in distributions payable to non-controlling and redeemable non-controlling interests.

Non-Cancellable Operating Leases See Note 12—Leases for details regarding the Company’s lease arrangements. Letters of Credit As of March 31, 2019, the Company had established letters of credit under the Working Capital Facility for up to $13.9 million related to insurance contracts. See Note 11—Debt Obligations. Indemnification Obligations From time to time, the Company enters into contracts that contingently require it to indemnify parties against claims. These contracts primarily relate to provisions in the Company’s services agreements with related parties that may require the Company to indemnify the related parties against services rendered; and certain agreements with the Company’s officers and directors under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities. In addition, under the terms of the agreements related to the Company’s investment funds and other material contracts, the Company may also be required to indemnify fund investors and other third parties for liabilities. For further information see Note 14—Investment Funds. Residual Commission Payments The Company pays a portion of sales commissions to its sales representatives on a deferred basis. The amount deferred is based on the value of the system sold by the sales representative and payment is based on the sales representative remaining employed by the Company. As this amount is earned over time, it is not considered an incremental cost of obtaining the contract due to the requirement that the sales representative remain in the Company’s service. As a result, the amount that is earned over time is expensed by the Company over the deferment period. As of March 31, 2019, the total estimated obligation that is currently not recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, but that will be earned and expensed over the deferment period was $16.2 million. Legal Proceedings In March 2016, the Company filed suit in the Court of Chancery State of Delaware against SunEdison and SEV Merger Sub Inc. alleging that SunEdison willfully breached its obligations under the Merger Agreement pursuant to which the Company was to be acquired and breached its implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. In April 2016, SunEdison filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which stayed prosecution of the Company’s litigation in the Delaware court. In September 2016, the Company submitted a proof of claim in the bankruptcy case for an unsecured claim in the initial amount of $1.0 billion, which was subject to dispute, for damages for breach of the Merger Agreement. In April 2018, the Company reached a settlement with the litigation trustee in the bankruptcy case under which the Company’s claim will be allowed in the amount of $590.0 million. This settlement resolves both the lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court and the dispute about the amount of the Company’s unsecured creditor claim in the bankruptcy. In April 2018, the Company received an initial distribution of $2.1 million and expects to receive further distributions as assets are distributed to unsecured creditors under the court-approved plan of reorganization in the SunEdison bankruptcy case. While the exact amount to be distributed for this claim is unknown at this time, the payout is expected to be a small fraction of the $590.0 million claim. In February 2018, two former employees, on behalf of themselves and a purported class, named the Company in a putative class action alleging that the Company misclassified those employees and violated other wage and hour laws. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and statutory penalties for the alleged violations. The Company disputes the allegations and has retained counsel to defend it in the litigation. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in this case, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period or periods in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. In March 2018, the New Mexico Attorney General’s office filed an action against the Company and several of its officers alleging violation of state consumer protection statutes and other claims. The Company disputes the allegations in the lawsuit and intends to defend itself in the action. The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, were there to be an adverse final decision. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in this case, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. In July 2018, an individual filed a putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, purportedly on behalf of himself and other persons who received certain telephone calls. The lawsuit alleges that the Company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and some of its implementing regulations. The complaint seeks statutory penalties for each alleged violation. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint, has retained counsel and intends to vigorously defend itself in the litigation. The Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any, at this time. In October 2018, a former employee filed a representative action pursuant to California’s Private Attorneys General Act alleging that the Company violated California labor and employment laws by, among other things, failing to provide its employees with rest and meal breaks. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint and has retained counsel to represent it in the litigation. The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in the case, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. In October 2018, a former sales representative filed a representative action pursuant to California’s Private Attorneys General Act alleging that the Company violated California labor and employment laws by, among other things, failing to properly compensate its direct sellers and reimburse them for business expenses. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint. The Company is unable to estimate a range of loss, if any, at this time. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in the case, it is possible that the impact could be material to the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable. In addition to the matters discussed above, in the normal course of business, the Company has from time to time been named as a party to various legal claims, actions and complaints. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not currently believe that the outcome of any of these claims will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company accrues for losses that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the adequacy of its legal reserves based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of the law and assumptions about the future outcome of each case based on available information. |

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K dated as of March 5, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which were considered of normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial results. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other interim period or other future year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and those of its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company uses a qualitative approach in assessing the consolidation requirement for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). This approach focuses on determining whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE. All of these determinations involve significant management judgments and estimates. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary in the operational VIEs in which it has an equity interest. The Company evaluates its relationships with the VIEs on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. For additional information, see Note 14—Investment Funds. The condensed consolidated statements of operations items formerly captioned “Operating leases and incentives” and “Cost of revenue—operating leases and incentives” will now be captioned “Customer agreements and incentives” and “Cost of revenue—customer agreements and incentives” beginning in the current period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet items formerly captioned “Current portion of capital lease obligation” and “Capital lease obligation, net of current portion” will now be captioned “Current portion of finance lease obligation” and “Finance lease obligation, net of current portion” beginning in the current period. Amounts in these balance sheet items were capital leases under ASC 840 in periods ending prior to January 1, 2019, while amounts in these balance sheet items are finance leases under ASC 842 in periods ending subsequent to January 1, 2019. See “—Leases” below for further explanation of these changes. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly makes significant estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, ITCs; revenue recognition; solar energy systems, net; the impairment analysis of long-lived assets; stock-based compensation; the provision for income taxes; the valuation of derivative financial instruments; the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies; and non-controlling interests and redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Liquidity |
Liquidity In order to grow, the Company requires cash to finance the deployment of solar energy systems. As of the date of this filing, the Company will require additional sources of cash beyond current cash balances, and currently available financing facilities to fund long-term planned growth. If the Company is unable to secure additional financing when needed, or upon desirable terms, the Company may be unable to finance installation of customers’ systems in a manner consistent with past performance, cost of capital could increase, or the Company may be required to significantly reduce the scope of operations, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. While the Company believes additional financing is available and will continue to be available to support current levels of operations, the Company believes it has the ability and intent to reduce operations to the level of available financial resources for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report, if necessary. |

Performance Obligation—Solar Energy System and Product Sales |
Performance Obligation—Solar Energy system and Product Sales For certain System Sales, the company provides limited post-sale services to monitor the productivity of the solar energy system for 20 years after it has been placed into service. The Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to the monitoring services by estimating the fair market price that the Company would charge for these services if offered separately from the sale of the solar energy system. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had allocated deferred revenue of $3.7 million and $3.3 million to monitoring services that will be recognized over the term of the monitoring services. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Leases |
Leases The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”) and its subsequent updates effective January 1, 2019. These updates are intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The Company utilized the additional transition method permitted by ASU 2018-11 and adopted Topic 842 using a modified retrospective method with a cumulative-effect adjustment to its accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019. As such, comparative periods ending prior to January 1, 2019 are presented in accordance with ASC 840 and periods ending after January 1, 2019 are presented in accordance with Topic 842. The impact to the accumulated deficit as a result of adopting ASU 2016-02 was a net reduction of approximately $0.2 million. The Company did not use the transitionary practical expedients allowed under Topic 842, and as such, the Company reassessed all contracts existing at the adoption date of January 1, 2019. The Company elected to treat leases with lease terms of 12 months or less as short-term leases. No right-of-use assets or lease liabilities are recognized for short-term leases. The Company has also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for all classes of leased assets except for building leases. The adoption of this ASU resulted in right-of-use assets of $34.6 million related to operating leases being recognized in other non-current assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019. Corresponding lease liabilities of $43.8 million related to operating leases were recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019, with the current portion recognized in accrued and other current liabilities and the long-term portion recognized in other non-current liabilities. In addition, at January 1, 2019, approximately $1.0 million of lease-related liabilities were removed from accrued and other current liabilities and approximately $8.2 million of lease-related liabilities were removed from other non-current liabilities and included as reductions to the initial operating lease right-of-use assets. As of January 1, 2019, finance lease right-of-use assets of $0.9 million continued to be recorded in property and equipment, net. Any changes in lease terms or estimates subsequent to adoption of the ASU 2016-02 are reflected in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company’s PPAs, Solar Leases, and associated rebates and incentives no longer meet the definition of a lease under Topic 842. Accordingly, they are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606 beginning on January 1, 2019. The Company concluded that there was no change to its revenue recognition practices for its PPA revenue stream under ASC 606. For Solar Leases, the Company concluded that the impact of applying ASC 606 is immaterial. The Company also concluded that there was no material change related to the timing of revenue recognition for rebates and incentives under ASC 606. Upon the adoption of Topic 842, the Company no longer capitalizes initial direct costs and amortizes them to the respective cost of revenue line items. Instead, the Company now capitalizes costs of obtaining a contract which meet the “incremental” criteria defined in ASC 340 to other non-current assets, net. These costs are now amortized over the period of benefit to sales and marketing expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For purposes of comparison, the following tables show how the balances as of December 31, 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 would have changed if the effects of adopting Topic 842 had been applied to those balances (in thousands):

Software Implementation Costs The Company adopted ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, effective January 1, 2019. This update clarifies that entities should capitalize implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts, which the Company will now record within other non-current assets, net. Entities expense the capitalized costs over the term of the hosting arrangement. The service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by this update, meaning service costs will continue to be expensed as incurred. The Company is applying the amendments in this update on a prospective basis. No prior periods were impacted as a result of adopting this ASU. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The objective of this update is to provide users of financial statements with more useful information by changing the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses to a more forward-looking methodology that reflects expected credit losses. Under this ASU, the Company’s accounts receivable are considered financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and will need to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This ASU will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020 and will be applied through a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. |
