Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard is intended to simplify accounting for share based employment awards to employees. Changes include: all excess tax benefits/deficiencies should be recognized as income tax expense/benefit; entities can make elections on how to account for forfeitures; and cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the cash flow statement. The Corporation implemented the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The primary impact of implementation was the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Excess tax benefits will be recorded in the operating section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on a prospective basis. Prior to fiscal 2017, the tax benefits or shortfalls were recorded in financing cash flows. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares in the financing section had no impact to any of the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows since such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity. Implementation of the new standard resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in the Corporation's provision for income taxes of $0.6 million as a net tax benefit for the three months ended April 1, 2017. Prior to the adoption of this standard, that amount would have been recognized as an adjustment to "Additional paid-in capital" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See "Note 10. Income Taxes" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The new standard is intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than the previous guidance of measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market. The Corporation implemented the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. As the Corporation previously calculated net realizable value when measuring inventory at the lower of cost or market, this standard had an immaterial effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). The new standard is to simplify the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating the step 2 requirement. Instead, an entity will perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The standard is effective for fiscal 2020, but the Corporation has early adopted the standard in 2017. There is no impact in the first quarter of 2017.
