Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim periods. The interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2018.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09, as further amended, affects virtually all aspects of an entity’s revenue recognition, including determining the measurement of revenue and the timing of when it is recognized for the transfer of goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The guidance permits two methods of adoption - retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective method). The new standard also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from customer contracts. The Company has completed its detailed review of the new standard and adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, which did not result in an adjustment to equity. The Company's sales transactions generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods or services.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Costs ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 requires the service component of pension and other postretirement benefit costs to be presented in the same line item as other employee compensation costs on the consolidated statements of operations; however, the other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented outside of operating income within the consolidated statements of operations. ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017 and the Company adopted the accounting standard update as of January 1, 2018. The other components of net benefit cost of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are presented in a separate line outside of operations within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has retrospectively applied the change in accounting principle to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard update had no other effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be either classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 also requires significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 with early adoption allowed and practical expedients to measure the effect of adoption also being allowed. The Company does not plan to early adopt ASU 2016-02.

The Company has begun evaluating the lease portfolio, lease accounting system, practical expedient and accounting policy elections and the overall financial statement impact. The Company has made progress in gathering the necessary data elements for the lease population and a system provider has been selected, with system configuration and implementation underway. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial results and expects it will have a material impact the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
