ASU 2015-03,

Interest--Imputation of Interest

(Subtopic 835-30)

 

To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, this update 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 recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update.

Retrospective

 

We did not have retrospective adjustments, as debt issuance costs were related to an undrawn line of credit. Prospectively, we recorded the debt issuance costs incurred from the execution of the Credit Agreement as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the debt liability.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)

 

This update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, by creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the trade of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, various updates have been issued during 2015 and 2016 to clarify the guidance in Topic 606.
