Accounts Receivable Additional Disclosures [Abstract]

The Company extends credit based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and, while collateral is not required, the Company periodically receives surety bonds that guarantee payment. Credit terms are consistent with industry standards and practices. The amounts of trade accounts receivable as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 have been reduced by an allowance for credit losses of $523 and $944, respectively. Changes in reserves for uncollectible accounts, which are recorded as part of “Selling and administrative expenses” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, resulted in income of $145 and expense of $63 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and income of $127 and expense of $221 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company established the allowance for credit losses by calculating the amount to reserve based on the age of a given trade receivable and considering historical collection patterns and bad debt expense experience, in addition to any other relevant subjective adjustments to individual receivables made by management. The Company also considers current and expected future market and other conditions. Trade receivables are pooled within the calculation based on a range of ages, which appropriately groups receivables of similar credit risk together.

The established reserve thresholds to calculate the allowance for credit loss are based on and supported by historic collection patterns and bad debt expense incurred by the Company, as well as the expectation that collection patterns and bad debt expense will continue to adhere to patterns observed in recent years, which was formed based on trends observed as well as current and expected future conditions, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management maintains high-quality credit review practices as well as positive customer relationships that further mitigate credit risk.

The following table sets forth the Company’s allowance for credit losses:
