SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company also consolidates majority-owned entities in the United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Thailand and Taiwan where the Company has the ability to exercise controlling influence. Ownership interests of noncontrolling parties are presented as noncontrolling interests or redeemable noncontrolling interests, as applicable.
Related Parties
As of June 30, 2016, the Company is a majority-owned subsidiary of JAB Cosmetics B.V. (“JABC”). Lucresca SE, Agnaten SE and JAB Holdings B.V. (“JAB”) indirectly control JABC and the shares of the Company held by JABC. The Company does not generally enter into material transactions with related parties other than certain share transactions with JABC and certain executives as described in Notes 22 and 23.
In connection with the acquisition of the personal care and beauty business of Hypermarcas S.A. (the “Brazil Acquisition”), JABC entered into a Shares and Trademarks Sale and Purchase Agreement dated November 2, 2015 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with Hypermarcas S.A. and certain of its subsidiaries. The Company and JABC subsequently entered into an Assignment and Transfer Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2015 (the “Assignment Agreement”), which pursuant to JABC assigned all of its rights, title, interest and obligations to the Company. No consideration was owed to JABC under the Assignment Agreement. Additionally, the Company agreed to indemnify JABC in case of failure by the Company to fulfill any of the terms, covenants, agreements, provisions and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement. To date, no indemnification payment has been sought or made pursuant to the Assignment Agreement.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, the market value of inventory, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions, the fair value of share-based compensation, pension and other post-employment benefit costs, the fair value of the Company's reporting units and the assessment of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment, income taxes, derivatives and redeemable noncontrolling interests when calculating the impact on Earnings Per Share (“EPS”). Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Significant changes, if any, in those estimates and assumptions resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are stated net of the allowance for doubtful accounts and cash discounts, which is based on the evaluation of the accounts receivable aging, specific exposures, and historical trends. The Company reviews its allowances by assessing factors such as an individual trade receivable aging and liquidity. Trade receivables are written off on a case-by-case basis, net of any amounts that may be collected.
Inventories
Inventories include items which are considered salable or usable in future periods, and are stated at the lower of cost or market value, with cost being based on standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. Costs include direct materials, direct labor and overhead (e.g., indirect labor, rent and utilities, depreciation, purchasing, receiving, inspection and quality control) and in-bound freight costs. The Company classifies inventories into various categories based upon their stage in the product life cycle, future marketing sales plans and the disposition process.
The Company also records an inventory obsolescence reserve, which represents the excess of the cost of the inventory over its estimated market value, based on various product sales projections. This reserve is calculated using an estimated obsolescence percentage applied to the inventory based on age, historical trends, and requirements to support forecasted sales. In addition, and as necessary, the Company may establish specific reserves for future known or anticipated events.
Property and Equipment and Other Long-lived Assets
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. The cost of renewals and betterments is capitalized and depreciated. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment that is disposed of through sale, trade-in, donation, or scrapping is written off, and any gain or loss on the transaction, net of costs to dispose, is recorded in Gain (loss) on sale of assets. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Description
 
Estimated Useful Lives
Buildings
 
20-40 years
Marketing furniture and fixtures
 
3-5 years
Machinery and equipment
 
2-15 years
Computer equipment and software
 
2-5 years
Property and equipment under capital leases and leasehold improvements
 
Lesser of lease term or economic life

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Description
 
Estimated Useful Lives
License agreements
 
Lesser of agreement term or economic life
Customer relationships
 
5-28 years
Trademarks
 
5-20 years
Product formulations
 
3-7 years

Long-lived assets, including tangible and intangible assets with finite lives, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, a recoverability test is performed comparing projected undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of an asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment charge would be recorded for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. The Company estimates fair value based on the best information available, including discounted cash flows and/or the use of third-party valuations.
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the fair value of their underlying net assets. Goodwill is allocated and evaluated at the reporting units level which are the Company’s operating segments. The Company identifies its operating segments, which are also its reportable segments, by assessing whether the components of the Company’s reportable segments constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and management of each operating segment regularly reviews the operating results of those components. The Company has identified four reporting units. Fragrance, Color Cosmetics, Skin & Body Care, and Brazil Acquisition are considered operating segments and each a reporting unit. The Company allocates goodwill to one or more reporting units that are expected to benefit from synergies of the business combination.
Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment annually as of May 1 or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as the basis to determine if it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. In performing its qualitative assessment, the Company considers the extent to which unfavorable events or circumstances identified, such as changes in economic conditions, industry and market conditions or company specific events, could affect the comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company is required to perform a quantitative impairment test.
Quantitative impairment testing for goodwill is performed in two steps: (i) the determination of possible impairment, based upon the fair value of a reporting unit as compared to its carrying value; and (ii) if there is a possible impairment indicated, this step measures the amount of impairment loss, if any, by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The Company makes certain judgments and assumptions in allocating assets and liabilities to determine carrying values for its reporting units.
Indefinite-lived other intangible assets principally consist of trademarks. The fair values of indefinite-lived other intangible assets are estimated and compared to their respective carrying values. The trademarks’ fair values are based upon the income approach, utilizing the relief from royalty or excess earnings methodology. An impairment loss is recognized when the estimated fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying value.
Deferred Financing Fees
The Company capitalizes costs related to the issuance of debt instruments, as applicable. Such costs are amortized over the contractual term of the related debt instrument in interest expense, net using the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Interests held by third parties in consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries are presented as noncontrolling interests, which represents the noncontrolling stockholders’ interests in the underlying net assets of the Company’s consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interests that are not redeemable are reported in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Noncontrolling interests, where the Company may be required to repurchase the noncontrolling interest under a put option or other contractual redemption requirement are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets between liabilities and equity, as redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company adjusts the redeemable noncontrolling interests to the redemption values on each balance sheet date with changes recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when realized or realizable and earned. The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue when risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer, which usually occurs upon delivery. Net revenues comprise gross revenues less customer discounts and allowances, actual and expected returns (estimated based on returns history and position in product life cycle) and various trade spending activities. Trade spending activities primarily relate to advertising, product promotions and demonstrations, some of which involve cooperative relationships with customers. Returns represent 3%, 3% and 4% of gross revenue after customer discounts and allowances in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Trade spending activities recorded as a reduction to gross revenue after customer discounts and allowances represent 8%9% and 9% in fiscal 20162015 and 2014, respectively.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes all of the costs to manufacture the Company’s products. For products manufactured in the Company’s own facilities, such costs include raw materials and supplies, direct labor and factory overhead. For products manufactured for the Company by third-party contractors, such costs represent the amounts invoiced by the contractors. Cost of sales also includes royalty expense associated with license agreements as discussed in Note 10. Additionally, shipping costs, freight-in and depreciation and amortization expenses related to manufacturing equipment and facilities are included in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include advertising and promotional costs and research and development costs. Also included in Selling, general and administrative expenses are share-based compensation, certain warehousing fees, non-manufacturing overhead, personnel and related expenses, rent on operating leases, and professional fees.
Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $967.6, $1,007.7 and $1,070.0 in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Included in advertising and promotional costs are $65.0, $69.8, and $67.5 of depreciation of marketing furniture and fixtures, such as product displays, in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $47.7, $47.4 and $46.5 in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
Common Stock
Common shares are available to be awarded for the exercise of vested stock options, the settlement of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.
Share-based compensation expense is measured and fixed at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee’s requisite service period.
The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the assumptions discussed in Note 23. The fair value of RSUs is determined on the date of grant based on the Company’s stock price.
Preferred Stock
The Company has issued Series A Preferred Stock that can be converted into Class A Common Stock or settled in cash. Series A Preferred Stock is accounted for using liability plan accounting to the extent the award is expected to be settled in cash. Accordingly, share-based compensation expense for the liability plans is measured based on the fair value of the award on each reporting date and recognized as an expense to the extent earned. Share-based compensation expense for the portion of the grants that the Company is not required to settle in cash is measured based on the estimated fair value of the award at the time it is known that they are going to be settled in shares and is recognized on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee’s requisite service period.
The fair value of Series A Preferred Stock is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the weighted-average assumptions discussed in Note 23.
Treasury Stock
The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method. When shares are reissued or retired from treasury stock they are accounted for at an average price. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price higher than its cost, the difference is recorded as a component of Additional paid-in-capital in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price lower than its cost, the difference is recorded as a reduction of Additional paid-in-capital to the extent that there are treasury stock gains to offset the losses. If there are no treasury stock gains in Additional paid-in-capital, the losses upon re-issuance of treasury stock are recorded as a reduction of Retained earnings in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Income Taxes
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Therefore, income tax expense is based on reported income before income taxes, and deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the carrying amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. Classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities corresponds with the classification of the underlying assets and liabilities, giving rise to the temporary differences or the period of expected reversal, as applicable. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized based on currently available evidence.
The Company is subject to tax audits in various jurisdictions. The Company regularly assesses the likely outcomes of such audits in order to determine the appropriateness of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”). The Company classifies interest and penalties related to UTBs as a component of the provision for income taxes.
For UTBs, the Company first determines whether it is more-likely-than-not (defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets this more-likely-than-not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority. As the determination of liabilities related to UTBs and associated interest and penalties requires significant estimates to be made by the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company will accurately predict the outcomes of these audits, and thus the eventual outcomes could have a material impact on the Company’s operating results or financial condition and cash flows.
It is the Company’s intention to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings and profits from the Company’s foreign operations that have been generated through June 30, 2016, and future plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate the foreign amounts to fund U.S. operations. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016. It is not practicable for the Company to determine the amount of additional income and withholding taxes that may be payable in the event the undistributed earnings are repatriated.
Restructuring Costs
Charges incurred in connection with plans to restructure and integrate acquired businesses or in connection with cost-reduction initiatives that are initiated from time to time are included in Restructuring costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations if such costs are directly associated with an exit or disposal activity, a reorganization, or with integrating an acquired business. Other business realignment costs represent the incremental cost directly related to the restructuring activities which can include professional or consulting fees and other internal costs including compensation related costs for dedicated internal resources. Other business realignment costs are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires that purchase price, including the fair value of contingent consideration, of the acquisition be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as of the acquisition date.
The Company remeasures the fair value of contingent consideration at each reporting period using a probability-adjusted discounted cash flow method based on significant inputs not observable in the market and any change in the fair value from either the passage of time or events occurring after the acquisition date, is recorded in earnings. Contingent consideration payments that exceed the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration are reflected as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Payments made for contingent consideration recorded as part of an acquisition’s purchase price are reflected as financing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, if paid more than three months after the acquisition date. If paid within three months of the acquisition date, these payments are reflected as investing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Fair Value Measurements
The following fair value hierarchy is used in selecting inputs for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The Company evaluates these inputs and recognizes transfers between levels, if any, at the end of each reporting period. The hierarchy consists of three levels:
Level 1 - Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Valuation based on inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 - Valuation based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and supported by little or no observable market activity.
The Company has not elected the fair value measurement option for any financial instruments or other assets not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Refer to Note 19 for the Company’s policies for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
Foreign Currency
Exchange gains or losses incurred on transactions conducted by one of the Company’s operations in a currency other than the operation’s functional currency are reflected in Cost of sales or operating expenses. Net losses (gains) of $7.2, $(7.9) and $18.7 in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively resulting from non-financing foreign exchange currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during each reporting period presented. Translation gains or losses are reported as cumulative adjustments in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI/(L)”).
Net gains (losses) of $19.2, $(4.1) and $(2.8) in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, resulting from financing foreign exchange currency transactions are included in Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net (losses) of $(29.4), nil and nil in fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, resulting from acquisition-related foreign exchange currency transactions are included in Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance related to adjustments within the measurement period for business combinations. The amendment requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendment requires that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendment also requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The Company adopted this amendment during the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Refer to Note 4 for discussion of the measurement period adjustments recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 for the Brazil Acquisition.
In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that modified the criteria utilized to determine discontinued operations. In accordance with the new guidance, only disposals of a component that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results are considered discontinued operations. The modified guidance also requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of a significant part of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This amendment was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
 
Fiscal 2019 with either retrospective or modified retrospective treatment applied. Early adoption is permitted for the Company beginning in fiscal 2018.
 
In June 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that implements a common revenue model that will enhance comparability across industries and require enhanced disclosures. The new standard introduces a five step principles based process to determine the timing and amount of revenue ultimately expected to be received. In March 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending certain portions of this standard to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending certain portions of this standard to clarify the considerations for identifying performance obligations and to clarify the implementation guidance for revenue recognized from licensing arrangements. In May 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending certain portions of the standard to narrow the scope over, or to provide practical expedients, for assessing collectibility, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

2016-09
 
Share-based Compensation
 
Fiscal 2018. Early adoption is permitted if the Company adopts all of the amendments within this guidance in the period of adoption. The methods of adopting the guidance vary by amendment.
 
The FASB issued authoritative guidance amending several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the amendments will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Leases
 
Fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted. Lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach.
 
The FASB issued authoritative guidance requiring that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

2015-17
 
Income Taxes
 
Fiscal 2018 either on a prospective or retrospective accounting basis.
 
The FASB issued authoritative guidance relating to the classification of deferred taxes. The guidance will require all deferred income tax liabilities and assets to be classified as non-current. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
2015-15
2015-03
 
Interest
 
Fiscal 2017 with retrospective application.
 
The FASB issued authoritative guidance on the treatment of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The FASB issued further authoritative guidance related to the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
2015-11
 
Inventory
 
Fiscal 2018 with early adoption is permitted.
 
The FASB issued authoritative guidance for simplifying the measurement of inventory. The amendment requires an entity to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. This amendment will not apply to inventories that are measured using either the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or the retail inventory method.The Company is evaluating the impact this amendment will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
2015-05
 
Intangible Assets
 
 Fiscal 2017 with prospective or retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted.
 
The FASB issued authoritative guidance to clarify the accounting treatment for fees paid by a customer in cloud computing arrangements. Under the revised guidance, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The revised guidance will not change a customer’s accounting for service contracts. The Company is evaluating the impact this amendment will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
2015-02
 
Consolidation and Variable Interest Entities
 
Fiscal 2017 using either a modified retrospective, or a retrospective approach.
 
The FASB issued authoritative guidance on a revised consolidation model for all reporting entities to use in evaluating whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities will be subject to reevaluation under this revised consolidation model. The revised consolidation model, among other things, (i) modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and (iii) modifies the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs through fee arrangements and related party relationships. The Company is evaluating the impact this amended guidance will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
2014-12
 
Share-based Compensation
 
Fiscal 2017 using either a modified retrospective, or a retrospective approach.
 
The FASB issued authoritative guidance on the treatment of a stock-based compensation award issued with a performance target that could be achieved subsequent to the requisite service period. The guidance will require the performance target to be treated as a performance condition that effects vesting or as a non-vesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company is evaluating the impact this amended guidance will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
