Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) was issued to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 U.S. Tax Act”). The ultimate impact of the U.S. Tax Act may differ from this estimate, possibly materially, due to changes in interpretations and assumptions, and guidance that may be issued and actions we may take in response to the 2017 U.S. Tax Act. The 2017 U.S. Tax Act is highly complex and we will continue to assess the impact that various provisions will have on our business. Any subsequent adjustment to these amounts will be recorded to current tax expense in the period when the analysis is complete.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has not completed the accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the 2017 U.S. Tax Act; however, the Company has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on its existing deferred tax balances, the one-time transition tax and provisional state taxes on future repatriations. For the items for which the Company was able to determine a reasonable estimate, the Company recognized a provisional amount of $7.4 million under SAB 118 as a component of income tax expense in the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). This ASU provides new guidance about income statement classification and eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. The entire change in fair value for qualifying hedge instruments included in assessment of hedge effectiveness will be recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and amounts deferred in OCI will be reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. The guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods for the Company on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-12 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires management to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all operating leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years on a modified retrospective basis. We have begun the process of reviewing existing agreements and are evaluating the impact of this ASU.  We expect to recognize a significant lease obligation upon adoption.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) (“ASU 2014-09”) and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective approach. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods, which has been discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

The Company recognizes revenue under the core principle of depicting the transfer of control to the Company’s customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, the Company applies the following five step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied.

Our sales revenue for product sales is recognized based on a point in time model, at the point control transfers to our customers, which is generally when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities or when products are delivered to the customer’s named location. When the Company performs shipping and handling activities after the transfer of control to the customer (e.g., when control transfers prior to delivery), such activities are considered as fulfillment activities and, accordingly, the costs are accrued for when the related revenue is recognized. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues. See Note 4 Revenue Recognition for further disclosures and detail regarding revenue.

The adoption of ASU 2014-09 was not material to the Company and, as such, there was no cumulative effect upon the January 1, 2018 adoption date. As the impact of the new revenue standard is not material to the Company, there is no impact disclosure presented as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 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 changes the income statement presentation of defined benefit and post-retirement benefit plan expense by requiring separation between operating expense (service cost component of net periodic benefit expense) and non-operating expense (all other components of net periodic benefit expense, including but not limited to interest cost, amortization of prior service cost, curtailments and settlements, etc.). ASU 2017-07 became effective for interim and annual periods for the Company on January 1, 2018. The operating expense component is reported with similar compensation costs while the non-operating components are reported outside of operating income. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 in the first quarter of 2018 using a retrospective transition method. The impact of the adoption was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 include the impact of the adoption.
