For information related to the ASUs adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, see Note 1. General and Basis of Presentation – (b) Basis of Presentation. The new ASUs relevant to the Company are as follows:

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 was later amended by ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU No. 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. ASU 2014-09, as amended, (the “Revenue Standard”) supersedes most industry specific guidance and intends to enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries by providing a principle-based, comprehensive framework for addressing revenue recognition issues. The Revenue Standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods within those years, although early adoption is permitted.  

 

The Company will adopt the Revenue Standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company has completed an analysis of its most significant revenue streams including those most likely to be impacted by the Revenue Standard and anticipates that the adoption of the Revenue Standard will result in relatively minor impacts to the recognition of revenues to be reported in its consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that the most significant impact will be from the deferral of contract acquisition costs. These costs primarily consist of sales commissions provided to the Company’s sales force that have not been deferred historically. It has been the Company’s practice to recognize sales commissions when paid and now they will be deferred and recognized over time. The Company plans to use the modified retrospective method to adopt the Revenue Standard.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (the “Lease Standard”) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. The Lease Standard requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. The Lease Standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, using a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company is required to adopt the Lease Standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently reviewing its operating leases and ATM placement agreements to assess the impact the Lease Standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company currently anticipates that its adoption of the Lease Standard will result in the recognition of significant right-to-use assets and lease liabilities related to its operating leases as well as certain of its ATM placement agreements that contain fixed payments and are deemed to contain a lease under the Lease Standard.

 

In August and November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”) and ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 update the following specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon or insignificant rate debt instruments; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle, and classification of restricted cash. ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is required to adopt this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and plans to adopt both ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 at that time. Responsive to this guidance, the Company will include the balance of restricted cash together with cash and cash equivalents when presenting the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, commencing with its first quarter reporting in 2018. The Company will also recognize contingent consideration payments up to the amount of the liability recognized at the acquisition date in financing activities and any excess in operating activities. The Company does not anticipate that this classification will result in a change to the operating, financing, or investing cash flows that would otherwise be reported.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”). ASU 2016-16 requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business when determining an acquisition, divestiture, disposal, goodwill, or consolidation. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted.

 

In addition, in January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 clarifies what constitutes a modification of a share-based payments award. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 provides targeted improvements to the accounting for hedging activities to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements.
