Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
During the
first
quarter of
2017,
the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2016
-
09,
Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification in the statement of cash flows. As a result of the adoption, the amount in excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation is recorded in our provision for income taxes. For the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2017,
the amount recorded in the provision for income taxes was
$0.1
million and
$0.2
million, respectively. Historically, these amounts were recorded as additional paid-in capital as required by the accounting pronouncements in force during the periods presented. In addition, for each period presented, cash flows related to excess tax benefits are now classified as an operating activity along with other income tax cash flows. Retrospective application of the cash flow presentation requirements resulted in an increase to net cash provided by operations and a decrease to net cash provided by financing activities of
$1.9
million for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2016.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
. This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue from the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company is required to adopt the new pronouncement using
one
of
two
retrospective application methods.

the FASB voted to approve a deferral of the effective date of ASU
2014
-
09
by
one
year to
December 15, 2017
for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The Company expects to adopt the new revenue standard using the modified re
trospective approach. As of
June 30, 2017,
the Company has identified revenue streams and continues to review individual contracts. Based on this review, the Company expects to recognize revenue over time for the majority of contracts. While the Company is still evaluating the impact of the amended guidance, it does
not
expect the impact to the timing or amount of revenue recognized to be material. The Company expects to quantify and disclose the expected impact, if any, of adopting this amended guidance in its Annual Report on Form
10
-K for the year ending
December 31, 2017.
