Basis of Presentation
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all of the accounts of the Company and our subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 and our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been made. The results set forth in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. All amounts are in millions, except per share amounts, and are approximate due to rounding. All amounts are presented in U.S. dollar, unless otherwise specified.
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of the SEC. As permitted under those rules, annual footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
We are responsible for the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in this report. As these are condensed financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”), which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024, and with the information contained in our other publicly available filings with the SEC.
When we cross reference to a “Note,” we are referring to our “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” unless the context indicates otherwise.
There were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards” of our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Impact of Highly Inflationary Economy
Argentina
Economic and political events in Argentina have continued to expose us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risk. As of July 1, 2018, Argentina was designated as a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP, and the U.S. dollar replaced the Argentine peso as the functional currency for our subsidiary in Argentina. All Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate available to us. The impact of any changes in the exchange rate are reflected within Other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded $4.9 million and $2.6 million of remeasurement losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to our subsidiary in Argentina.
