Revenue Recognition Guidance

In May 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients." ASU 2016-12 provides additional guidance established by the FASB-IASB Joint Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition ("TRG") regarding the implementation of certain aspects of the new revenue recognition guidance. More specifically, the amendment provides additional guidance regarding assessing the collectibility criterion, the presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, noncash consideration, contract modifications or completed contracts at transition of the new revenue recognition guidance and technical corrections. The effective date is consistent with the effective date of ASU 2014-09.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing." ASU 2016-10 provides clarification established by the TRG regarding the implementation of the new revenue recognition guidance specific to identifying performance obligations and licensing activity. The effective date is consistent with the effective date of ASU 2014-09.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)." ASU 2016-08 provides clarification established by the FASB-IASB Joint Transition Resources Group regarding the implementation of the new revenue recognition guidance specific to principal versus agent considerations. The effective date is consistent with the effective date of ASU 2014-09. The mandatory adoption date is January 1, 2018, with an early adoption date of January 1, 2017.

With respect to each of the revenue recognition guidance above, at June 30, 2016, the Company was in the first phase of implementation of its work plan, the analysis of the guidance and its impact on the Company and to our long-term customer arrangements.

Other Guidance

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within. The Company anticipates this standard may result in some volatility in income tax expense and may impact share-based compensation expense resulting from the change in the calculation of forfeitures. We anticipate adopting ASU 2016-09 in 2016.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability among companies by recognizing lease assets and liabilities and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is assessing the impact of this pronouncement in 2016 and anticipates this pronouncement will impact the presentation of our lease assets and liabilities and associated disclosures by the recognition of lease assets and liabilities associated with leases that were not included in the balance sheet under existing accounting guidance.

Accounting Pronouncements Implemented in the Period

Pursuant to ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," issued in April 2015, and ASU No. 2015-15, "Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements," issued in August 2015, the Company now presents the carrying value of its long-term debt net of associated deferred financing charges, previously presented as a part of other long-term assets. This change in accounting principal was also made to 2015 results to consistently present debt and associated debt issuance costs in accordance with ASU 2015-03. In order to conform with ASU 2015-03, we reclassified deferred financing fees associated with our long-term debt totaling $2.6 million from other assets to net against long-term debt of $235.0 million at December 31, 2015.
