Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. Delays Filing of Its Form 10-K
On July 15, 2015, Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. announced that it had delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. According to the release, the delay is due to a review of the methodologies used in the company's year-end inventory costing analysis and the related impact on its fiscal year 2015 financial statements. The review will assess the impact of highly volatile raw material costs during the company's fiscal 2015 fourth quarter. Advanced Drainage predicts that the effect of the review will be a reduction of year-end inventory values for fiscal year 2015 as compared to previously reported amounts, and a related increase in cost of sales. Any necessary adjustments to its previously issued earnings release for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2015 will be made with the filing of its Form 10-K.
In light of this news, Robbins Arroyo LLP's investigation focuses on whether Advanced Drainage Systems and/or its officers misled shareholders by issuing false statements regarding the company's business or failed to implement appropriate internal controls to ensure truthful and accurate financial reporting.
