Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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, 2022.

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 March 31, 2023, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will occur for the year ending December 31, 2023.

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 11, 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate fair value of the Company's outstanding fixed rate senior unsecured notes was estimated to be $37.6 million and $37.4 million, respectively.

The purchase price allocations associated with the May 31, 2022 acquisition of Mohawk Rubber Sales of New England Inc. ("Mohawk"), 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 an 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.

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.
