Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | Description of Business and Accounting Policies Description of Business — Cincinnati Bell Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Cincinnati Bell", "we", "our", "us" or the "Company") provides diversified telecommunications and technology services. The Company generates a large portion of its revenue by serving customers in the Greater Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio areas. An economic downturn or natural disaster occurring in this, or a portion of this, limited operating territory could have a disproportionate effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows compared to similar companies of a national scope and similar companies operating in different geographic areas. The Company has receivables with one large customer, General Electric Company, that makes up 17% and 21% of the outstanding accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. This same customer represented 12% and 11% of consolidated revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Merger and Acquisition Activity — On July 9, 2017, the Company and Hawaiian Telcom Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hawaiian Telcom”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Hawaiian Telcom Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of Hawaiian Telcom with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in exchange for the consideration described below. Hawaiian Telcom is a fiber-centric technology leader providing voice, video, broadband, data center and cloud solutions to consumer, business and wholesale customers on the Hawaiian islands. At the effective time of the merger, each share of Hawaiian Telcom common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be converted into the right to receive, at the holder’s election and subject to proration as set forth in the Hawaiian Telcom Merger Agreement (1) 1.6305 common shares, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Shares”) (the “Share Consideration”); (2) 0.6522 Company Common Shares and $18.45 in cash, without interest (the “Mixed Consideration”); or (3) $30.75 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration”). Hawaiian Telcom stockholders who elect to receive the Share Consideration or the Cash Consideration will be subject to proration to ensure that the aggregate number of Company Common Shares to be issued by the Company in the Hawaiian Telcom Merger and the aggregate amount of cash to be paid in the Hawaiian Telcom Merger will be the same as if all electing stockholders received the Mixed Consideration. The total value of the consideration to be exchanged is approximately $360 million, exclusive of debt of Hawaiian Telcom of approximately $290 million as of March 31, 2017. The merger is subject to standard closing conditions including the approval of Hawaiian Telcom's stockholders, the approval of the listing of additional shares of Cincinnati Bell common stock to be issued to Hawaiian Telcom’s stockholders, required federal and state regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. We expect the merger to close in the second half of 2018. On July 9, 2017, we also entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with OnX Holdings LLC ("OnX"), a privately held company that provides technology services and solutions to enterprise customers in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., in exchange for cash consideration of $201 million. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017. In connection with the mergers with Hawaiian Telcom and OnX, we secured financing commitments for $1,130 million in senior secured credit facilities, as described in Note 3, that, in addition to cash on hand and other sources of liquidity, are expected to be used to repay the existing indebtedness of Hawaiian Telcom, pay the cash consideration for both mergers, repay certain indebtedness of the Company and pay the fees and expenses in connection with both mergers. The Company is also exploring the possibility of replacing a portion of the secured committed term loan with unsecured senior notes, subject to market conditions. Basis of Presentation — The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, other comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows for each period presented. The adjustments referred to above are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for interim reporting. On October 4, 2016, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to affect a one-for-five reverse split of its issued common stock (the “Reverse Split”) which had the effect of reducing the number of issued shares of common stock from 210,275,005 to 42,055,001. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the Reverse Split were settled in cash equal to the fraction of a share to which the holder was entitled. As a result of the Reverse Split, the Company reduced total par value from common stock by $1.7 million and increased the additional paid-in capital by the same amount. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other interim period. Business Combinations — In accounting for business combinations, we apply the accounting requirements of ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” which requires the recording of net assets of acquired businesses at fair value. In developing estimates of fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, management analyzes a variety of factors including market data, estimated future cash flows of the acquired operations, industry growth rates, current replacement cost for fixed assets, and market rate assumptions for contractual obligations. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, particularly with respect to the intangible assets. In addition, contingent consideration is presented at fair value at the date of acquisition. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. On February 28, 2017 we acquired SunTel Services, a private company that provides network security, data connectivity, and unified communications solutions to commercial and enterprise customers across multiple sectors throughout Michigan for cash consideration of $10.0 million. Based on final fair value assessment, the acquired assets and liabilities assumed consisted primarily of property plant and equipment of $0.4 million, customer relationship intangible assets of $1.2 million, working capital of $4.1 million and goodwill of $4.3 million. These assets and liabilities are included in the IT Services and Hardware segment. Use of Estimates — Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various regulatory and tax proceedings, lawsuits, claims and other matters. The Company believes adequate provision has been made for all such asserted and unasserted claims in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Investment in CyrusOne — As of December 31, 2016, "Investment in CyrusOne" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was recorded at fair value, which was determined based on closing market price of CyrusOne Inc. at December 31, 2016. This investment is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains and losses on our investment in CyrusOne are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss", net of taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews such factors as the financial condition of the issuer, severity and duration of the fair value decline and evaluation of factors that could cause the investment to have an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. In the first quarter of 2017, we sold our remaining 2.8 million shares of CyrusOne Inc. common stock for net proceeds totaling $140.7 million that resulted in a realized gain of $117.7 million. As of March 31, 2017, we no longer have an investment in CyrusOne Inc. Income Taxes — The Company’s income tax provision for interim periods is determined through the use of an estimated annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date ordinary income, as well as the tax effects associated with discrete items. The Company expects its effective rate to exceed statutory rates primarily due to non-deductible expenses. During 2016, the Company reclassed $14.5 million of Alternative Minimum Tax ("AMT") refundable tax credits from "Deferred income taxes, net" to "Receivables" as these credits were expected to be utilized during 2017. In the first two quarters of 2017, the Company reclassed an additional $7.8 million from "Deferred income taxes, net" to "Receivables." In the second quarter the Company received $14.5 million of payments related to the 2016 AMT tax credits. Acceleration of the AMT refundable tax credits was the result of the Company's decision to make an election on its 2016 federal income tax return to claim the credits in lieu of claiming bonus depreciation. New tax legislation enacted in 2015 increased the amount of AMT credits that can be claimed beginning with the 2016 tax year. The Company plans to make the same election on its 2017 federal income tax return. Recently Issued Accounting Standards — In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company plans to prospectively adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018 and will apply the amended guidance to any awards modified on or after this date. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Period Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which amends the requirements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 715 related to the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity’s sponsored defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The ASU requires entities to disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the other components of net benefit cost (the “other components”) and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if such a subtotal is presented on a retrospective basis as of the date of adoption. In addition, only the service-cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU and plans to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amended guidance, the Company shall now recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The new standard is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company early adopted the amended guidance effective January 1, 2017 and will apply the guidance when performing the annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2017. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flow - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amends ASC 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The FASB issued the ASU with the intent of reducing diversity in practice. The new standard is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows and plans to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which simplifies various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The new guidance requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. In addition, cash flows related to excess tax benefits will no longer be separately classified as a financing activity apart from other income tax cash flows. The standard also allows us to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, clarifies that all cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on our cash flows statement, and provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The new standard was adopted effective January 1, 2017. The primary impact of adoption is the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Additional amendments to the accounting for income taxes and minimum statutory withholding tax requirements had no impact to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted a prospective company-wide policy change due to the change in accounting principle and now record forfeitures as they are incurred on a go forward basis. As a result of the change in accounting principle the cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings to account for the accounting policy election was immaterial to the financial statements. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to excess tax benefits were applied retrospectively to all periods presented and did not result in a material impact to prior period net cash provided by operations and net cash used in financing. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares had no impact to any of the periods presented in our consolidated cash flows statements since such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which represents a wholesale change to lease accounting. The standard introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet as well as aligns certain underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in ASC 606. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and lessees and lessors are required to use a modified retrospective transition method for existing leases. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments in January 2016. The amended guidance requires entities to carry all investments in equity securities at fair value through net income unless the entity has elected the practicability exception to fair value measurement. This standard will be effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 and will require a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings on this date. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard also includes expanded disclosure requirements that result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, ASU 2015-14 was issued deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with an optional early application date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company will adopt the standard and all subsequent amendments in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 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 (the cumulative catch-up transition method). We currently anticipate adopting the standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior reporting period presented. Our ability to adopt using the full retrospective method is dependent on the successful and timely implementation of a revenue software application that has been procured from a third-party provider and the completion of our analysis of information necessary to restate prior period financial statements. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements with the possible exception of our gross treatment of hardware revenue. ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations focusing on a control model rather than a risk and reward model. We are in the process of evaluating whether the standard will have an impact on our historical practice of recording our hardware sales on a gross basis. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the year had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |

Earnings Per Share [Text Block] | Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur upon the issuance of common shares for awards under stock-based compensation plans, the exercise of warrants or the conversion of preferred stock, but only to the extent that they are considered dilutive. The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted EPS:
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had a net loss available to common shareholders and, as a result, all common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, awards under the Company's stock-based compensation plans for common shares of 0.3 million were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, awards under the Company's stock-based compensation plans for common shares of 0.4 million and 0.5 million, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, preferred stock convertible into 0.9 million common shares was excluded as it was anti-dilutive. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | Debt The Company’s debt consists of the following:
Corporate Credit Agreement There were no outstanding borrowings on the Corporate Credit Agreement's revolving credit facility, leaving $150.0 million available for borrowings as of June 30, 2017. This revolving credit facility expires in January 2020. Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility As of June 30, 2017, the Company had no borrowings and $6.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the accounts receivable securitization facility ("Receivables Facility"), leaving $100.1 million remaining availability on the total borrowing capacity of $106.4 million. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company executed an amendment of its Receivables Facility, which replaced, amended and added certain provisions and definitions to increase the credit availability and renew the facility, which is subject to renewal every 364 days, until May 2018. The facility's termination date is in May 2019 and was not changed by this amendment. In the event the Receivables Facility is not renewed, the Company has the ability to refinance any outstanding borrowings with borrowings under the Corporate Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Receivables Facility, the Company could obtain up to $120.0 million depending on the quantity and quality of accounts receivable. Under this agreement, certain subsidiaries, or originators, sell their respective trade receivables on a continuous basis to Cincinnati Bell Funding LLC (“CBF”). Although CBF is a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary of the Company, CBF is legally separate from the Company and each of the Company’s other subsidiaries. Upon and after the sale or contribution of the accounts receivable to CBF, such accounts receivable are legally assets of CBF and, as such, are not available to creditors of the Company's other subsidiaries or the Company. Cincinnati Bell Telephone Notes In April 2017, the Company filed Form 15 with the SEC to de-list the Cincinnati Bell Telephone Notes ("CBT Notes") due to the number of registrants no longer exceeding 300. Therefore, the Company is no longer required to prepare supplemental guarantor information related to the CBT Notes. Commitment Letter On July 9, 2017, in connection with the execution of the merger agreement with Hawaiian Telcom and the execution of the merger agreement with OnX, the Company also entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (the “Committed Party”). Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the Committed Party has committed to provide the Company with $1,100 million senior secured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”), consisting of (i) a $150 million revolving credit facility with a maturity of five years and (ii) term loan facilities in an aggregate amount equal to $950 million with a maturity of seven years, to be made available to the Company to finance the transactions contemplated by the OnX Merger Agreement and the Hawaiian Telcom Merger Agreement upon the closings thereof, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter. Proceeds from the Credit Facilities will be used to repay Hawaiian Telcom’s existing indebtedness, refinance the Company’s existing revolving credit facility and term loan facility, pay the cash portion of the consideration for the Hawaiian Telcom Merger, pay the cash consideration for OnX Merger on a cash-free, debt-free basis, pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the OnX Merger and the Hawaiian Telcom Merger and finance ongoing working capital and other general corporate needs. On July 27, 2017, the Commitment Letter was amended to include additional Lenders and to increase the total commitment to $1,130 million consisting of a $180 million revolving credit facility and $950 million term loan. The Company is also exploring the possibility of replacing a portion of the secured committed term loan with unsecured senior notes, subject to market conditions. The Credit Facilities are subject to the negotiation of mutually acceptable credit or loan agreements and other mutually acceptable definitive documentation, which will include certain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, financial covenants, events of default and collateral and guarantee agreements that are customarily required for similar financings. Additionally, the Committed Party’s obligation to provide the financing is subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions and the accuracy of specified representations. The documentation governing the Credit Facilities has not been finalized and accordingly the actual terms may differ from the description of such terms in the foregoing summary of the Commitment Letter. |

Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | Restructuring and Severance Liabilities have been established for employee separations and lease abandonment. A summary of activity in the restructuring and severance liability is shown below:
In the second quarter of 2017, the Company initiated reorganizations within both segments of the business in order to more appropriately align the Company for future growth. As a result, head count reductions were made resulting in a $3.6 million severance charge. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company finalized a voluntary severance program for certain bargained employees related to an initiative to reduce field and network costs within our legacy copper network. As a result, a severance charge of $25.6 million was recorded to the Entertainment and Communications segment. The Company made severance payments during the six months ended June 30, 2017 for employee separations associated with the previously discussed initiatives. Lease abandonment costs represent future minimum lease obligations, net of expected sublease income, for abandoned facilities. Lease payments on abandoned facilities will continue through 2019. A summary of restructuring activity by business segment is presented below:
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $12.7 million and $7.4 million, respectively, of the restructuring and severance liabilities were included in “Other current liabilities.” At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $10.6 million and $3.8 million was included in "Other noncurrent liabilities," respectively. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation — The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, other comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows for each period presented. The adjustments referred to above are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for interim reporting. On October 4, 2016, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to affect a one-for-five reverse split of its issued common stock (the “Reverse Split”) which had the effect of reducing the number of issued shares of common stock from 210,275,005 to 42,055,001. Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the Reverse Split were settled in cash equal to the fraction of a share to which the holder was entitled. As a result of the Reverse Split, the Company reduced total par value from common stock by $1.7 million and increased the additional paid-in capital by the same amount. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other interim period. |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations — In accounting for business combinations, we apply the accounting requirements of ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” which requires the recording of net assets of acquired businesses at fair value. In developing estimates of fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, management analyzes a variety of factors including market data, estimated future cash flows of the acquired operations, industry growth rates, current replacement cost for fixed assets, and market rate assumptions for contractual obligations. Such a valuation requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, particularly with respect to the intangible assets. In addition, contingent consideration is presented at fair value at the date of acquisition. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. On February 28, 2017 we acquired SunTel Services, a private company that provides network security, data connectivity, and unified communications solutions to commercial and enterprise customers across multiple sectors throughout Michigan for cash consideration of $10.0 million. Based on final fair value assessment, the acquired assets and liabilities assumed consisted primarily of property plant and equipment of $0.4 million, customer relationship intangible assets of $1.2 million, working capital of $4.1 million and goodwill of $4.3 million. These assets and liabilities are included in the IT Services and Hardware segment. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates — Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various regulatory and tax proceedings, lawsuits, claims and other matters. The Company believes adequate provision has been made for all such asserted and unasserted claims in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. |
Investment is CyrusOne | Investment in CyrusOne — As of December 31, 2016, "Investment in CyrusOne" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was recorded at fair value, which was determined based on closing market price of CyrusOne Inc. at December 31, 2016. This investment is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains and losses on our investment in CyrusOne are included in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss", net of taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews such factors as the financial condition of the issuer, severity and duration of the fair value decline and evaluation of factors that could cause the investment to have an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. In the first quarter of 2017, we sold our remaining 2.8 million shares of CyrusOne Inc. common stock for net proceeds totaling $140.7 million that resulted in a realized gain of $117.7 million. As of March 31, 2017, we no longer have an investment in CyrusOne Inc. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes — The Company’s income tax provision for interim periods is determined through the use of an estimated annual effective tax rate applied to year-to-date ordinary income, as well as the tax effects associated with discrete items. The Company expects its effective rate to exceed statutory rates primarily due to non-deductible expenses. During 2016, the Company reclassed $14.5 million of Alternative Minimum Tax ("AMT") refundable tax credits from "Deferred income taxes, net" to "Receivables" as these credits were expected to be utilized during 2017. In the first two quarters of 2017, the Company reclassed an additional $7.8 million from "Deferred income taxes, net" to "Receivables." In the second quarter the Company received $14.5 million of payments related to the 2016 AMT tax credits. Acceleration of the AMT refundable tax credits was the result of the Company's decision to make an election on its 2016 federal income tax return to claim the credits in lieu of claiming bonus depreciation. New tax legislation enacted in 2015 increased the amount of AMT credits that can be claimed beginning with the 2016 tax year. The Company plans to make the same election on its 2017 federal income tax return. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards — In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company plans to prospectively adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018 and will apply the amended guidance to any awards modified on or after this date. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Period Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which amends the requirements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 715 related to the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity’s sponsored defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The ASU requires entities to disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the other components of net benefit cost (the “other components”) and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if such a subtotal is presented on a retrospective basis as of the date of adoption. In addition, only the service-cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU and plans to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amended guidance, the Company shall now recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The new standard is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company early adopted the amended guidance effective January 1, 2017 and will apply the guidance when performing the annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2017. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flow - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amends ASC 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The FASB issued the ASU with the intent of reducing diversity in practice. The new standard is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows and plans to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which simplifies various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The new guidance requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. In addition, cash flows related to excess tax benefits will no longer be separately classified as a financing activity apart from other income tax cash flows. The standard also allows us to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, clarifies that all cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on our cash flows statement, and provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The new standard was adopted effective January 1, 2017. The primary impact of adoption is the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Additional amendments to the accounting for income taxes and minimum statutory withholding tax requirements had no impact to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted a prospective company-wide policy change due to the change in accounting principle and now record forfeitures as they are incurred on a go forward basis. As a result of the change in accounting principle the cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings to account for the accounting policy election was immaterial to the financial statements. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to excess tax benefits were applied retrospectively to all periods presented and did not result in a material impact to prior period net cash provided by operations and net cash used in financing. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares had no impact to any of the periods presented in our consolidated cash flows statements since such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which represents a wholesale change to lease accounting. The standard introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet as well as aligns certain underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in ASC 606. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and lessees and lessors are required to use a modified retrospective transition method for existing leases. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments in January 2016. The amended guidance requires entities to carry all investments in equity securities at fair value through net income unless the entity has elected the practicability exception to fair value measurement. This standard will be effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 and will require a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings on this date. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard also includes expanded disclosure requirements that result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, ASU 2015-14 was issued deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with an optional early application date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company will adopt the standard and all subsequent amendments in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 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 (the cumulative catch-up transition method). We currently anticipate adopting the standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior reporting period presented. Our ability to adopt using the full retrospective method is dependent on the successful and timely implementation of a revenue software application that has been procured from a third-party provider and the completion of our analysis of information necessary to restate prior period financial statements. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements with the possible exception of our gross treatment of hardware revenue. ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations focusing on a control model rather than a risk and reward model. We are in the process of evaluating whether the standard will have an impact on our historical practice of recording our hardware sales on a gross basis. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the year had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |
Earnings Per Share | Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur upon the issuance of common shares for awards under stock-based compensation plans, the exercise of warrants or the conversion of preferred stock, but only to the extent that they are considered dilutive. |
Fair Value Measurement | The fair value of our long-term debt was based on closing or estimated market prices of the Company’s debt at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, which is considered Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
