Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Myers Industries, Inc. and all wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Results from our former Brazil Business, which was sold in 2017, are presented as discontinued operations. Net cash flows provided by discontinued operations in 2019 resulted from the remaining receipt of the tax benefit from a worthless stock deduction, which was recognized as part of the sale. Net income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 related to interest income net of tax recognized on the receipt of the tax benefit in the first quarter of 2019. There was no discontinued operations activity for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2020, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will occur for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Accounting Standards Adopted

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. This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting due to the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The amendments in this update are effective for the Company as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this standard effective March 12, 2020. The adoption of this standard had no effect in the quarter or six months ended June 30, 2020, and its future impact will depend on the manner in which the Company and its lenders ultimately address the removal of LIBOR as it relates to the Loan Agreement described in Note 13.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20). This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. For the Company, the ASU is effective retrospectively beginning with the 2020 annual financial statements, but is not applicable to its interim financial statements. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on its annual consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. Certain disclosures in this ASU are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.  This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments.  The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2020. Adoption of the new standard resulted in changes to the Company’s accounting policy and disclosures related to its allowance for expected credit losses for accounts receivable. The impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements was not material and no cumulative transition adjustment was required.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and by clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application. For the Company, this ASU is effective beginning with the first quarter of 2021. Early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments within this ASU are required to be applied on a retrospective basis, certain other amendments are required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis and all other amendments on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows guidance included in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for its financial assets and liabilities, as required. Under ASC 820, the hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three levels:

 

Level 1:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data or which reflect the entity’s own assumptions.

The Company has financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value due to the nature and relative short maturity of these assets and liabilities.

The fair value of debt under the Company’s Loan Agreement, as defined in Note 13, approximates carrying value due to the floating rates and relative short maturity (less than 90 days) of any revolving borrowings under this agreement. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated using market observable inputs for the Company’s comparable peers with public debt, including quoted prices in active markets and interest rate measurements which are considered Level 2 inputs. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate fair value of the Company's outstanding fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated to be $80.5 million and $79.0 million, respectively.

The purchase price allocation associated with the August 26, 2019 acquisition of Tuffy Manufacturing Industries, Inc., as described in Note 3, required fair value measurements using unobservable inputs which are considered Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the acquired intangible assets was determined using the income approach.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Management has established certain requirements that customers must meet before credit is extended. The financial condition of customers is continually monitored and collateral is usually not required. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. The Company reviews historical trends for credit loss as well as current economic conditions in determining an estimate for its allowance for credit losses. Additionally, in circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance for credit losses is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably expects will be collected.

The change in the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was as follows:

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied. In both the Distribution and Material Handling segments, this generally occurs with the transfer of control of the products.  This transfer of control may occur at either the time of shipment from a Company facility, or at the time of delivery to a designated customer location. Obligations under contracts with customers are typically fulfilled within 90 days of receiving a purchase order from a customer, and generally no other future obligations are required to be performed.  The Company generally does not enter into any long-term contracts with customers greater than one year.  Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customer contracts, no deferred revenue has been recorded, with the exception of cash advances or deposits received from customers prior to transfer of control of the product. These advances are typically fulfilled within the 90-day time frame mentioned above.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the products.  Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration, such as rebates or discounts.  The Company recognizes estimates of this variable consideration each period, primarily based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs.  While the Company’s contracts with customers do not generally include explicit rights to return product, the Company will in practice allow returns in the normal course of business and as part of the customer relationship.  Expected returns allowances are recognized each period based on an analysis of historical experience, and when physical recovery of the product from returns occurs, an estimated right to return asset is also recorded based on the approximate cost of the product.

Amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) related to revenue recognition include:

Sales, value added, and other taxes collected with revenue from customers are excluded from net sales.  The cost for shipments to customers is recognized when control over products has transferred to the customer and is classified as Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the Company’s manufacturing business and as Cost of Sales for the Company’s distribution business. Costs for shipments to customers in Selling, General and Administrative expenses were approximately $1.7 million and $2.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $3.3 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and in Cost of Sales were approximately $1.5 million for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and $2.9 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Based on the short-term nature of contracts described above, contract acquisition costs are not significant. These costs, as well as other incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract, are recognized as expense as incurred.

Acquisition

3.  Acquisition

On August 26, 2019, the Company acquired the assets of Tuffy Manufacturing Industries, Inc. (“Tuffy”), a warehouse distributor of tire repair equipment and supplies, which is included in the Distribution Segment. The Tuffy acquisition aligns with the Company’s strategy to grow in key niche markets and focus on strategic account customers. The purchase price for the acquisition was $18.7 million, which includes a working capital adjustment of $0.7 million that was paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The Company funded the acquisition using available cash.

The acquisition of Tuffy was accounted for using the acquisition method, whereby all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the acquisition date, which are subject to adjustment. The purchase accounting will be finalized within one year from the acquisition date.

Assets Held for Sale

4.  Assets Held for Sale

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a building with a carrying value of $1.9 million was classified as held for sale and is included in Other Assets.  During the first half of 2019, the Company sold two buildings, which had previously been held for sale, for total net proceeds of $7.4 million. These buildings were in the Material Handling Segment.

When a facility meets held for sale classification criteria, it is also evaluated for impairment by comparing its carrying value to its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Estimated fair value of these buildings was based on third party offers, which are Level 2 inputs. No impairment related to assets held for sale was recognized in the quarters ended June 30, 2020 or 2019 or for the six months ended June 30, 2020. An impairment charge of $0.9 million was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019 in connection with a building meeting the held for sale criteria.

5.  Settlement of Note Receivable and Lease Guarantee

In 2015, the Company sold its Lawn and Garden business to an entity controlled by Wingate Partners V, L.P. (“L&G Buyer”), which later became HC Companies, Inc. (“HC”). The terms of the sale included promissory notes from HC. Due to uncertainty of collection, a provision for expected loss of $23.0 million was recorded within continuing operations during the third quarter of 2018 to fully impair the notes and corresponding interest receivable. The Company also ceased recognizing interest income following recognition of the provision.  

Also, in connection with the sale of the Lawn and Garden business, the Company became a guarantor for any remaining rent payments under one of HC’s facility leases expiring in September 2025. Annual rent for the facility is approximately $2 million. Due to the financial risk associated with HC, the Company assessed its range of potential obligations under the lease guarantee, and recorded a liability and related pre-tax charge of $10.3 million during the third quarter of 2018. The carrying value of the lease contingency as of December 31, 2019 was $10.7 million, which represented the initial liability recorded plus accretion and was included in Other Liabilities.

In January 2020, the Company sold to HC the fully-reserved promissory notes and related accrued interest receivable in exchange for $1.2 million and the release from the lease guarantee resulting in an $11.9 million pre-tax gain.

Restructuring

6.  Restructuring

In March 2019, the Company committed to implementing a restructuring plan involving its Ameri-Kart Corp. subsidiary (“Ameri-Kart”) that operates within the Material Handling Segment. The Company plans to consolidate manufacturing operations currently conducted at Ameri-Kart’s Cassopolis, Michigan and Bristol, Indiana facilities with expanded operations in a new facility in Bristol, Indiana (the “Ameri-Kart Plan”). In December 2019, the Company entered into an agreement where a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Bristol, Indiana will be constructed, and when substantially complete, the Company will lease that new facility and sell its existing facility in Bristol, Indiana. In December 2019, the Company also provided one year advance termination notice on the lease of its Cassopolis, Michigan facility. The Ameri-Kart Plan is expected to be substantially completed in the first quarter of 2021 and total restructuring costs expected to be incurred are approximately $1.1 million, primarily related to equipment relocation and facility shut down costs.

In March 2019, the Company committed to implementing transformation initiatives within the Distribution Segment (the “Distribution Transformation Plan”) that are intended to increase sales force effectiveness, reduce costs and improve contribution margins. The Company realigned its Distribution Segment’s commercial sales structure, which included the elimination of certain sales and administrative positions, and put into place plans to expand its e-commerce platform. All actions under the Distribution Transformation Plan were substantially completed by the end of 2019.

 

No restructuring charges were incurred during the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Charges for the above restructuring plans for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Inventories

7.  Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market for last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory and lower of cost or net realizable value for first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory. Approximately 50 percent of inventories are valued using the LIFO method of determining cost. All other inventories are valued using the FIFO method of determining cost. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these calculations are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. Based on management’s projections of inventory levels and costs, no adjustment to the LIFO reserve was recorded for the quarter or six months ended June 30, 2020. During 2019, one inventory pool had a reduction in inventory quantities that was expected to remain through year-end, and therefore, a LIFO liquidation adjustment of $0.3 million was recorded to decrease cost of sales in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019.

12.  Contingencies

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. When a loss arising from these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the most likely amount of the estimated probable loss is recorded, or if a range of probable loss can be estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount in the range is recorded. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary.

Based on current available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, including those described below, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or overall trends in our results of operations. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the financial position and results of operations of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.

New Idria Mercury Mine

In September 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) informed a subsidiary of the Company, Buckhorn, Inc. (“Buckhorn”) via a notice letter and related documents (the “Notice Letter”) that it considers Buckhorn to be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) in connection with the New Idria Mercury Mine site (“New Idria Mine”).  New Idria Mining & Chemical Company (“NIMCC”), which owned and/or operated the New Idria Mine through 1976, was merged into Buckhorn Metal Products Inc. in 1981, which was subsequently acquired by Myers Industries in 1987.  As a result of the EPA Notice Letter, Buckhorn and the Company engaged in negotiations with the EPA with respect to a draft Administrative Order of Consent (“AOC”) proposed by the EPA for the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) to determine the extent of remediation necessary and the screening of alternatives.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company and the EPA finalized the AOC and related Statement of Work (“SOW”) with regards to the New Idria Mine. The AOC is effective as of November 27, 2018, the date that it was executed by the EPA. The AOC and accompanying SOW document the terms, conditions and procedures for the Company’s performance of the RI/FS. In addition, the AOC requires the Company to provide $2 million of financial assurance to the EPA to secure its performance during the estimated life of the RI/FS.  In January 2019, the Company provided this assurance as a letter of credit. The AOC also includes provisions for payment by the Company of the EPA’s costs of oversight of the RI/FS, including a prepayment in the amount of $0.2 million, which was paid in January 2019.

A draft work plan for the RI/FS, in accordance with the AOC and related SOW, was submitted to the EPA for review and approval in July 2019. Upon preparation of the draft work plan for the RI/FS, the Company received preliminary estimates from its consultants for the cost of the execution of the work plan. Based on these preliminary estimates, the Company recognized additional expense of $4.0 million during the second quarter of 2019.  These preliminary estimates will continue to be refined through the finalization and approval of the draft work plan, which is anticipated to occur in 2020. The Company believes it has insurance coverage that applies to the New Idria Mine and thus may be able to recover a portion of the estimated costs; however, as of June 30, 2020, the Company has not recognized potential recovery in its consolidated financial statements.  

Since October 2011, when New Idria was added to the Superfund National Priorities List by the EPA, the Company has recognized $9.9 million of costs, of which approximately $3.4 million has been paid to date. These costs are comprised primarily of estimates to perform the RI/FS, negotiation of the AOC, identification of possible insurance resources and other PRPs, EPA oversight fees, past cost claims made by the EPA (who, as of April 2020, is represented by the U.S. Department of Justice), periodic monitoring, and responses to unilateral administrative orders issued by the EPA. No expenses were recorded related to the New Idria Mine in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020. Expenses of $4.0 million were recorded in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has a total reserve of $6.5 million related to the New Idria Mine, of which $1.1 million is classified in Other Current Liabilities and $5.4 million in Other Liabilities (long-term).

It is possible that adjustments to the aforementioned reserves will be necessary as new information is obtained, including after finalization and EPA approval of the work plan for the RI/FS. Estimates of the Company’s liability are based on current facts, laws, regulations and technology. Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluation and cost estimates, the extent of remedial actions that may be required, the extent of oversight by the EPA and the number and financial condition of other PRPs that may be named, as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation.

At this time, we have not accrued for remediation costs in connection with this site as we are unable to estimate the liability, given the circumstances referred to above, including the fact that the final remediation strategy has not yet been determined.

New Almaden Mine

A number of parties, including the Company and its subsidiary, Buckhorn (as successor to NIMCC), were alleged by trustee agencies of the United States and the State of California to be responsible for natural resource damages due to environmental contamination of areas comprising the historical New Almaden mercury mines located in the Guadalupe River Watershed region in Santa Clara County, California (“County”). In 2005, Buckhorn and the Company, without admitting liability or chain of ownership of NIMCC, resolved the trustees’ claim against them through a consent decree that required them to contribute financially to the implementation by the County of an environmentally beneficial project within the impacted area.  Buckhorn and the Company negotiated an agreement with the County, whereby Buckhorn and the Company agreed to reimburse one-half of the County’s costs of implementing the project, originally estimated to be approximately $1.6 million. As a result, in 2005, the Company recognized expense of $0.8 million representing its share of the initial estimated project costs, of which approximately $0.5 million has been paid to date. In April 2016, the Company was notified by the County that the original cost estimate may no longer be appropriate due to expanded scope and increased costs of construction and provided a revised estimate of between $3.3 million and $4.4 million.  The Company completed a detailed review of the support provided by the County for the revised estimate, and as a result, recognized additional expense of $1.2 million in 2016.  No costs were incurred related to New Almaden in the quarters or six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has a total reserve of $1.5 million related to the New Almaden Mine, of which $0.3 million is classified in Other Current Liabilities and $1.2 million in Other Liabilities (long-term).

The project has not yet been implemented though significant work on design and planning has been performed. The Company is currently awaiting notice from Santa Clara County on the expected timing of fieldwork to commence.  As work on the project occurs, it is possible that adjustments to the aforementioned reserves will be necessary to reflect new information.  In addition, the Company may have claims against and defenses to claims by the County under the 2005 agreement that could reduce or offset its obligation for reimbursement of some of these potential additional costs. With the assistance of environmental consultants, the Company will closely monitor this matter and will continue to assess its reserves as additional information becomes available.

Patent Infringement

On December 11, 2018, No Spill Inc. filed suit against Scepter Manufacturing LLC and Scepter Corporation (“Scepter”) in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas asserting infringement of two patents, breach of contract, and trade dress claims in relation to plastic gasoline containers Scepter manufactures and sells in the United States. A full schedule in the case has not yet issued. Scepter intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter. On December 28, 2019, Scepter filed petitions for inter partes review (“IPR”) of the two patents asserted by No Spill, Inc. in the District of Kansas litigation. The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”) instituted one IPR and denied the other. For the instituted IPR, a final decision on the validity of the patent is expected by July 2021. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, and is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any reserves for this matter.

In March 2017, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”).  The Loan Agreement amended the pre-existing senior revolving credit facility’s borrowing limit to $200 million, inclusive of letters of credit, and extended the maturity date from December 2018 to March 2022. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $194.2 million available under the Loan Agreement. The Company had $5.8 million of letters of credit issued related to insurance and other contracts requiring financial assurance in the ordinary course of business, including the $2 million provided to the EPA as discussed in Note 12. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate, prime rate, federal funds effective rate, the Canadian deposit offered rate, or the euro currency reference rate depending on the type of loan requested by the Company, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

The Company also holds Senior Unsecured Notes (“Notes”), which range in face value from $11 million to $40 million, with interest rates ranging from 4.67% to 5.45%, payable semiannually, and maturing between January 2021 and January 2026. At June 30, 2020, $78.0 million of the Notes were outstanding.  

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s long-term debt was 6.28% and 6.27% for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 6.26% and 6.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which includes a quarterly facility fee on the used and unused portion, as well as amortization of deferred financing costs. 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants associated with its Loan Agreement and Notes. The most restrictive financial covenants for all of the Company’s debt are an interest coverage ratio (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, divided by interest expense) and a leverage ratio (defined as total debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted).

Income Taxes

15.  Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.4% and 24.6% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 27.9% and 27.7% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The effective income tax rate for both periods was different than the Company’s statutory rate, primarily due to state taxes and non-deductible expenses.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate was $1.1 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The Company and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal, state and local, and non-U.S. income tax returns. As of June 30, 2020, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examination by tax authorities for tax years before 2015. The Company’s 2017 U.S. Federal tax return is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company is subject to state and local examinations for tax years of 2015 through 2018. In addition, the Company is subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years of 2015 through 2019.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. While the Company expects to realize certain benefits under the CARES Act and is continuing to evaluate its impacts, it does not believe the CARES Act will materially affect its consolidated financial statements.

Leases

16.  Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has leases for manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, warehouses, office space and equipment, with remaining lease terms of one to eight years. Certain of these leases include options to extend the lease for up to five years, and some include options to terminate the lease early. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the statement of financial position; the Company recognizes lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months are included in right of use asset – operating leases (“ROU assets”), operating lease liability – short term, and operating lease liability – long term in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited).

The ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, which is then applied at the portfolio level, based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. The lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited) related to leases include:

In December 2019, the Company entered into an agreement where a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Bristol, Indiana will be constructed, and when it is substantially complete, the Company will lease that new facility and sell its existing facility in Bristol, Indiana. As described in Note 6, this agreement was in connection with the Ameri-Kart Plan, which includes facility consolidation for this business within the Material Handling Segment. This lease is not included in the tables disclosed above because it has not yet commenced; it commences when the facility is substantially complete, which is expected to be in the second half of 2020. Upon commencement, the lease has an initial term of fifteen years with base annual rent of approximately $0.8 million during the first year. Inclusive of scheduled increases the total expected future minimum lease payments during the initial term of the lease is approximately $13.5 million, but may vary depending on the actual cost of certain construction activities. At commencement of this lease, the Company expects assets and liabilities within the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position to each increase by approximately $9 million.

Industry Segments

17.  Industry Segments

The Company manages its business under two operating segments, Material Handling and Distribution, consistent with the manner in which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates performance and makes resource allocation decisions. None of the reportable segments include operating segments that have been aggregated.  These segments contain individual business components that have been combined on the basis of common management, customers, products, production processes and other economic characteristics. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost plus a specified mark-up.

The Material Handling Segment manufactures a broad selection of plastic reusable containers, pallets, small parts bins, bulk shipping containers, storage and organization products and rotationally-molded plastic tanks for water, fuel and waste handling. This segment conducts its primary operations in the United States and Canada. Markets served include industrial manufacturing, food processing, retail/wholesale products distribution, agriculture, automotive, recreational vehicles, marine vehicles, healthcare, appliance, bakery, electronics, textiles, consumer, and others. Products are sold both directly to end-users and through distributors.

The Distribution Segment is engaged in the distribution of equipment, tools, and supplies used for tire servicing and automotive undervehicle repair and the manufacture of tire repair and retreading products. The product line includes categories such as tire valves and accessories, tire changing and balancing equipment, lifts and alignment equipment, service equipment and tools, and tire repair/retread supplies. The Distribution Segment also manufactures and sells certain traffic markings, including reflective highway marking tape. The Distribution Segment operates domestically through its sales offices and five regional distribution centers in the United States, and in certain foreign countries through export sales. In addition, the Distribution Segment operates directly in certain foreign markets, principally Central America, through foreign branch operations. Markets served include retail and truck tire dealers, commercial auto and truck fleets, auto dealers, general service and repair centers, tire retreaders, and government agencies. The acquisition of Tuffy, described in Note 3, is included in the Distribution Segment.

Total sales from foreign business units were approximately $9.2 million and $11.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $18.2 million and $24.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Myers Industries, Inc. and all wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Results from our former Brazil Business, which was sold in 2017, are presented as discontinued operations. Net cash flows provided by discontinued operations in 2019 resulted from the remaining receipt of the tax benefit from a worthless stock deduction, which was recognized as part of the sale. Net income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 related to interest income net of tax recognized on the receipt of the tax benefit in the first quarter of 2019. There was no discontinued operations activity for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2020, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will occur for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Accounting Standards Adopted and Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Standards Adopted

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. This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting due to the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The amendments in this update are effective for the Company as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this standard effective March 12, 2020. The adoption of this standard had no effect in the quarter or six months ended June 30, 2020, and its future impact will depend on the manner in which the Company and its lenders ultimately address the removal of LIBOR as it relates to the Loan Agreement described in Note 13.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20). This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. For the Company, the ASU is effective retrospectively beginning with the 2020 annual financial statements, but is not applicable to its interim financial statements. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on its annual consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. Certain disclosures in this ASU are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.  This ASU eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments.  The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2020. Adoption of the new standard resulted in changes to the Company’s accounting policy and disclosures related to its allowance for expected credit losses for accounts receivable. The impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements was not material and no cumulative transition adjustment was required.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and by clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application. For the Company, this ASU is effective beginning with the first quarter of 2021. Early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments within this ASU are required to be applied on a retrospective basis, certain other amendments are required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis and all other amendments on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows guidance included in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for its financial assets and liabilities, as required. Under ASC 820, the hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three levels:

 

Level 1:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data or which reflect the entity’s own assumptions.

The Company has financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value due to the nature and relative short maturity of these assets and liabilities.

The fair value of debt under the Company’s Loan Agreement, as defined in Note 13, approximates carrying value due to the floating rates and relative short maturity (less than 90 days) of any revolving borrowings under this agreement. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated using market observable inputs for the Company’s comparable peers with public debt, including quoted prices in active markets and interest rate measurements which are considered Level 2 inputs. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate fair value of the Company's outstanding fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated to be $80.5 million and $79.0 million, respectively.

The purchase price allocation associated with the August 26, 2019 acquisition of Tuffy Manufacturing Industries, Inc., as described in Note 3, required fair value measurements using unobservable inputs which are considered Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the acquired intangible assets was determined using the income approach.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Allowance for Credit Losses

Management has established certain requirements that customers must meet before credit is extended. The financial condition of customers is continually monitored and collateral is usually not required. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. The Company reviews historical trends for credit loss as well as current economic conditions in determining an estimate for its allowance for credit losses. Additionally, in circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance for credit losses is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably expects will be collected.

The change in the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was as follows:

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied. In both the Distribution and Material Handling segments, this generally occurs with the transfer of control of the products.  This transfer of control may occur at either the time of shipment from a Company facility, or at the time of delivery to a designated customer location. Obligations under contracts with customers are typically fulfilled within 90 days of receiving a purchase order from a customer, and generally no other future obligations are required to be performed.  The Company generally does not enter into any long-term contracts with customers greater than one year.  Based on the nature of the Company’s products and customer contracts, no deferred revenue has been recorded, with the exception of cash advances or deposits received from customers prior to transfer of control of the product. These advances are typically fulfilled within the 90-day time frame mentioned above.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the products.  Certain contracts with customers include variable consideration, such as rebates or discounts.  The Company recognizes estimates of this variable consideration each period, primarily based on the most likely level of consideration to be paid to the customer under the specific terms of the underlying programs.  While the Company’s contracts with customers do not generally include explicit rights to return product, the Company will in practice allow returns in the normal course of business and as part of the customer relationship.  Expected returns allowances are recognized each period based on an analysis of historical experience, and when physical recovery of the product from returns occurs, an estimated right to return asset is also recorded based on the approximate cost of the product.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has leases for manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, warehouses, office space and equipment, with remaining lease terms of one to eight years. Certain of these leases include options to extend the lease for up to five years, and some include options to terminate the lease early. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the statement of financial position; the Company recognizes lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leases with an initial term greater than 12 months are included in right of use asset – operating leases (“ROU assets”), operating lease liability – short term, and operating lease liability – long term in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (Unaudited).

The ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, which is then applied at the portfolio level, based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. The lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
