Recent Accounting Guidance

RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,"which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Further clarifying this standard, ASU 2015-15, "Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements" was released in August 2015 indicating that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting costs related to revolving debt arrangements as an asset. We elected to early adopt this standard during the current year, resulting in impacts to the balance sheets at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 of decreases to Other assets and Long-term borrowings of $71.3 million and $82.1 million, respectively.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11 (Accounting Standard Codification 330), "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which sets forth guidance that inventory should be valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than the lower of cost or market. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 (Accounting Standard Codification 810), "Consolidation," which sets forth guidance on accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Although early adoption is permitted, we are still in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (Accounting Standard Codification 606), "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which sets forth the guidance that an entity should use related to revenue recognition. This ASU was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date," which delayed the effective date of the new revenue accounting standard to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Companies will be allowed to early adopt the guidance as of the original effective date. Early adoption is not permitted prior to this date. We are in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
