Basis of presentation
Principles of consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and all wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the current year presentation.
Noncontrolling Interest
The Company owns a 95.0% majority ownership interest in Make Believe Ideas Limited ("MBI"), a UK-based children's book publishing company. The founder and chief executive officer of MBI retains a 5.0% noncontrolling ownership interest in MBI. The Company fully consolidated MBI as of the acquisition date, and the 5.0% noncontrolling interest is classified within stockholder's equity.
Use of estimates
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements involves the use of estimates and assumptions by management, which affects the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current business factors and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, all of which are necessary in order to form a basis for determining the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates the adequacy of its reserves and the estimates used in calculations, including, but not limited to:
• Accounts receivable allowance for credit losses
• Pension and postretirement benefit plans
• Uncertain tax positions
• The timing and amount of future income taxes and related deductions
• Inventory reserves
• Cost of goods sold from book fair operations during interim periods based on estimated gross profit rates
• Sales tax contingencies
• Royalty advance reserves and royalty expense accruals
• Impairment testing for goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets and investments
• Assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations
• Variable consideration related to anticipated returns
• Allocation of transaction price to contractual performance obligations
