| Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Going Concern | |
| Basis for Consolidation |
Basis for Consolidation In connection with the Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) (as defined in Note 3— Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence), on December 7, 2023, Capstone Green Energy Corporation completed a series of transactions pursuant to which, among other things, Capstone Turbine International, Inc. was renamed “Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc.” and became the successor to Capstone Green Energy Corporation for SEC reporting purposes by operation of Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this filing include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Subsidiary and Capstone Turbine Financial Services, LLC, its wholly owned subsidiary that was formed in October 2015, after elimination of inter-company transactions. |
| Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Operating Subsidiary |
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Operating Subsidiary Noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated Operating Subsidiary represent the equity interests held by a related third party. Refer to Note 3— Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence for details on the formation of the Operating Subsidiary. The noncontrolling interests in the consolidated Operating Subsidiary are redeemable and are presented as temporary equity in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 9— Temporary Equity for details of the noncontrolling interests. The Company accounts for the noncontrolling interest using the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method to attribute the earnings of the consolidated Operating Subsidiary between the controlling and noncontrolling interests. Under the HLBV method, the amounts reported as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated Operating Subsidiary on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the amounts the noncontrolling interests would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet reporting date under the liquidation provisions of the governing agreements assuming the net assets of the consolidated Operating Subsidiary were liquidated at recorded amounts and distributed between the controlling and noncontrolling interests in accordance with the governing documents. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Subsidiary on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is associated with the increase or decrease in the noncontrolling interest holders’ contractual claims on the respective entities’ balance sheets assuming a hypothetical liquidation at the end of that reporting period when compared with their claims on the respective entities’ balance sheets assuming a hypothetical liquidation at the beginning of that reporting period, after removing the impact of any contributions or distributions. Prior to the emergence from bankruptcy, the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment, as detailed in Note 3— Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence, of $35.3 million, within Reorganization items, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, which resulted in net income of $12.7 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2023. Therefore, the Company did not allocate earnings to the Operating Subsidiary as of December 31, 2023, as the Company incurred a net loss after the Effective Date (as defined below) and the noncontrolling interest owners hold a liquidation preference that protects the holder from absorbing losses. |
| Reclassification |
Reclassification Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation and provide comparability but have no effect on the reported results of operations. The Company reclassified certain revenue stream and cost of goods sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to conform to the presentation of the current period. The reclassification has not materially impacted the Company’s financial statements and did not result in a change in total revenue, net income or cash flows from operations for the periods presented. |
| Significant Accounting Policies |
Significant Accounting Policies Except as described below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year 2023 filed with the SEC, that have had a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
| Bankruptcy Accounting |
Bankruptcy Accounting The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared as if the Company were a going concern and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 852— Reorganizations (“ASC 852”). See Note 3 – Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence for further details regarding the bankruptcy. At emergence from Chapter 11, the Company evaluated the criteria to apply fresh-start accounting under ASC 852 and determined that pre-petition shareholders maintained control of the Company following the restructuring transactions contemplated within the Company’s Plan of Reorganization. As the pre-petition shareholders did not lose control, fresh-start accounting did not apply and the existing carrying values and activities continued as the reporting entity did not change. In addition, the Company has classified all income, expenses, gains or losses that were incurred or realized as a result of the proceedings since filing for Chapter 11 as “Reorganization Items, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. |
| Segment Reporting |
Segment Reporting The Company determines its reporting units in accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). The Company evaluates a reporting segment by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company defines its CODM to be the Chief Executive Officer. The Company is considered to be a single reporting segment. The business activities of this reporting segment are the development, manufacture and sale of turbine generator sets and their related parts and service. |
| Going Concern |
Going Concern In connection with the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.9 million and a working capital deficit of $9.3 million. The Company recorded net income of $12.7 million and used cash from operating activities of $22.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2023. On September 28, 2023, the Company filed for a prepackaged financial restructuring with its Senior Lender, Goldman Sachs under the U.S. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy laws, as further discussed in Note 3— Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company emerged from Bankruptcy on December 7, 2023 and effected a financial and organizational restructuring. However, given its current cash position, lack of liquidity, limits to accessing capital and debt funding options, and current economic and market risks, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the financial statements as of, and for the period ended December 31, 2023. |
| Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Loss |
Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Loss On April 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Topic No. 326— Credit Loss, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) The CECL model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable. Under the CECL model, the Company identifies allowances for credit losses based on future expected losses when accounts receivable are created rather than when losses are probable. The Company applies the aging method by pooling receivables based on levels of delinquency and applying historical loss rates on what has been historically uncollectible by aging categories. The historical loss rate is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses, as necessary. Additionally, the allowance for credit loss calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that could likely cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. The factors include assessments of various economic conditions, significant events that occurred, geographic location, size and credit ratings of the customers. The Company may also record a specific reserve for individual accounts when the Company becomes aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance for credit loss. Refer to Note 5- Customer Concentrations and Accounts Receivable in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details of the allowance for credit loss recorded. |
| Temporary Equity |
Temporary Equity Where common or preferred shares are determined to be conditionally redeemable upon the occurrence of certain events that are not solely within the control of the Company, and upon such event, the shares would become redeemable at the option of the holders, they are classified as temporary equity (‘mezzanine equity’), outside permanent equity. The purpose of this classification is to convey that such a security may not be permanently part of equity and could result in a demand for cash, securities or other assets of the entity in the future. If the events are such that the shares are probable of becoming redeemable, then the Company will adjust the shares to reflect the maximum redemption value at the end of the reporting period. |
