Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014‑09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This ASU requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year to annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB is permitting early adoption of the standard, but not until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, the original effective date. An entity may choose to adopt this ASU either retrospectively or through a cumulative effect adjustment as of the start of the first period for which it applies the standard. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations of ASU 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” which clarifies the identification of performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance of ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” which provides clarification on certain revenue recognition criteria of ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and its method of adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” This ASU requires that a lessee record an operating lease in the balance sheet with a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this standard will be on a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that the Company may elect to apply. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, treatment of forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
