New Accounting Standards (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2018

Prior Year Reclassifications

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). The reclassification of certain prior year amounts as a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-07 is detailed below in section “Adopted Accounting Standard Updates.”

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company modified its presentation of (i) unrealized foreign currency net gains and losses on the translation of the assets and liabilities of its foreign operations and (ii) realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses on intercompany notes of a long-term nature and certain hedges of net investments in foreign operations, net of income taxes within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and in the tables of Note 13 “Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income.” Under the modified presentation, these two items, previously presented as “Foreign currency translation adjustments, net” and “Foreign currency gains (losses), net” are now presented together as “Foreign currency translation adjustments, net.” The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and the tables of Note 13 “Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income” for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were reclassified to reflect this change in presentation.

Adopted Accounting Standard Updates ("ASU")

Adopted Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”)

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective approach. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company is required to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018, the date of initial application. The cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 was immaterial to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Therefore, the Company did not record a cumulative transition adjustment.

In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 606, the Company updated its significant accounting policy related to revenue recognition which can be found in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

Results for the year ended December 31, 2018 are presented under ASC 606. Prior periods were not adjusted and will continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 605 Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). However, during fiscal year 2018, the Company is required to provide additional disclosures presenting the amount by which each 2018 financial statement line item was affected as a result of applying ASC 606 and an explanation of significant changes in order to present 2018 on a comparative basis under ASC 605.

The following table summarizes the impacts of adopting ASC 606 on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018.

ASU 2017-07 Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) – Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost

The Company adopted FASB ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018. The Company applied ASU 2017-07 retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in assets. ASU 2017-07 allows the Company to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. Applying the practical expedient, the Company reclassified $0.4 million of expense and $0.8 million of income from “Selling and administrative expenses” to “Other income, net” within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

ASU 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

The Company early adopted FASB ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2018-12”) on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. As of the adoption date, the Company was the fixed rate payor on 12 interest rate swap contracts that fixed the LIBOR-based index used to determine the interest rates charged on a total of $1,125.0 million of the Company’s LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings. The Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment on the adoption date increasing the opening balance of the “Accumulated deficit” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets by $0.3 million and decreasing the “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets by $0.3 million.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this update replace most of the existing GAAP lease accounting guidance in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under current GAAP. The amendments also expand disclosure requirements for key information about leasing arrangements. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019 utilizing the optional transition method. The Company updated its internal lease accounting policy to address the new standard, revised the Company’s business processes and controls, and completed the implementation and data input for the Company’s lease accounting software solution. The Company estimates that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $XX to $XX million on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not expect ASU 2016-02 to have a material impact on its results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only related to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The ASU is effective for public companies beginning in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update eliminate, add and modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. The guidance is effective for public companies beginning in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and evaluating the timing of adoption.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The amendments in this eliminate, add and modify certain disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans. The guidance is effective for public companies beginning with its annual report for fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and evaluating the timing of adoption.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40); Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this update require implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements (i.e., hosting arrangements) to be capitalized under the same premises of authoritative guidance for internal-use software, and deferred over the noncancellable term of the cloud computing arrangement plus any option renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or for which the exercise is controlled by the service provider. The Company is required to adopt this new guidance in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and evaluating the timing of adoption.
