2.  New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 requires entities to report the service cost component of net periodic pension and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. Further, ASU 2017-07 requires the other components of net periodic pension and net periodic postretirement benefit cost to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Additionally, only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. The amendments as set forth in ASU 2017-07 are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues that GAAP does not address. ASU 2016-15 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). This update requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet of lessees. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach and provides certain optional transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). Subsequently, the FASB issued several updates to ASU 2014-09, which are codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 also includes new guidance on costs related to a contract, which is codified in ASC Subtopic 340-40 (“ASC 340-40”).

In applying ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services transfers to a customer and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The major provisions of the new standard include: the determination of enforceable rights and obligations between parties; the identification of performance obligations, including performance obligations for options that represent material rights granted to a customer; accounting for variable consideration; the determination of whether performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time; and enhanced disclosure requirements.

ASC 606 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 and permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (“full retrospective method”) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application recognized at the date of initial application (“modified retrospective method”). The Company will adopt the standard using the modified retrospective method and will record an adjustment to Retained Earnings for the cumulative effect of initial application on January 1, 2018 (“Transition Adjustment”).

In 2016, the Company established a cross-functional team to assess and prepare for implementation of ASC 606. Earlier this year, the Company completed its implementation assessment as well as the design of the processes, including internal controls, and related systems solutions. The Company has reviewed all of its contracts with customers and has implemented the required process, data, and system changes. The Company is currently performing testing of systems and business processes to ensure that the results are consistent with the new accounting policies and procedures. The Company is currently running parallel systems and processes in anticipation of ASC 606 adoption.

Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company will no longer recognize revenue using the units-of-delivery method under ASC Topic 605 (“legacy GAAP”). ASC 606 is applied by analyzing each contract, or a combination of contracts, to determine if revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time. The Company has determined that some of its contracts will have performance obligations that are satisfied over time and some at a point in time based on when control of goods and services transfers to the customer.

For performance obligations that are satisfied over time, the Company will use an input method as the basis for recognizing revenue. Input methods recognize revenue on the basis of an entity’s efforts or inputs toward satisfying a performance obligation (for example, resources consumed, labor hours expended, costs incurred, time lapsed, or machine hours used) relative to the total expected inputs to satisfy the performance obligation. Performance obligations that are not recognized over time will be recognized at a point in time.

ASC 606 requires the Company to record performance obligations for material rights granted to the customer when contracts offer the customer future purchase options at an incremental discount. The Company has determined that performance obligations for material rights exist for certain contracts which will result in deferral of revenues attributable to such rights. Primarily due to the material rights identified, the revenue recognized under ASC 606 results in a different revenue recognition pattern when compared to the revenue recognized under legacy GAAP. However, the Company’s operating cash flows from our contracts with customers will not change. The Transition Adjustment will include the establishment of contract assets and liabilities for billings that are lower than, or in excess of, revenue that has been recognized.

The adoption of ASC 606 will not change the Company's accounting method for forward losses. Forward losses relating to unfulfilled contracts and options will continue to be recorded consistent with historical accounting policies.

Under ASC 606, production costs are generally expensed as incurred and not deferred. Additionally, ASC 340-40 is to be applied if existing guidance is not applicable. The Company’s accounting for preproduction, tooling, and certain other costs is expected to continue under existing guidance since they generally do not fall within the scope of ASC 340-40. The Company typically does not incur costs for obtaining contracts that would be capitalized under ASC 340-40.

The Company expects the Transition Adjustment to decrease Retained Earnings, primarily due to the elimination of deferred production costs. The elimination of deferred production is expected to lead to an increase in 2018 pre-tax income compared to what would have been recognized under legacy GAAP due to the fact that these costs deferred under legacy GAAP will no longer impact future earnings under ASC 606. Finally, the Company anticipates that the deferral of revenue related to identified material rights will reduce 2018 revenue under ASC 606 compared to what would have been recognized under legacy GAAP. However, the definitive amounts and associated tax impacts for 2018 revenue and profits have not yet been fully determined.

The enhanced disclosure requirements of ASC 606 include discussions on the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This will result in changes to our existing disclosures, as well as new disclosures, which will impact the information reported in our financial statements.
