2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted accounting pronouncements:
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows, and the accounting for forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 was effective for the Company as of April 2, 2017, the beginning of fiscal 2018. Adopting ASU 2016-09 increased diluted weighted average shares outstanding by approximately 40 thousand shares in the first quarter of 2018 due to the change in recognition of excess tax benefits in the calculation. The ASU is expected to increase the volatility of the Company's diluted shares outstanding on a go-forward basis.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” ASU 2015-11 simplifies the measurement of inventory by requiring companies to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value rather than measuring at the lower of cost of market where the market value was determined based off of three different measures. ASU 2015-11 was effective for the Company as of April 2, 2017, the beginning of fiscal 2018. Adopting ASU 2015-11 has not had a material effect on the Company's inventory valuation.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, in order to (i) improve disclosures related to an entity's risk management activities through better transparency and understandability and (ii) simplify and reduce the complexity of hedge accounting by preparers. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods, which would be the Company's fiscal year ending March 28, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. While the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-12 to have a material effect on its business, the Company is still evaluating any potential impact that adoption of ASU 2017-12 may have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends the scope of modification accounting surrounding share-based payment arrangements as issued in ASU 2016-09 by providing guidance on the various types of changes which would trigger modification accounting for share-based payment awards, specifically an entity would not apply modification accounting under ASC 718 if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, which would be the Company's fiscal year ending March 30, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires companies to disaggregate the current-service-cost component from other components of net benefit cost and provides specific guidance for presentation in the income statement. ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, which would be the Company's fiscal year ending March 30, 2019. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date for implementation of ASU 2014-09 by one year, making the new guidance effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted no earlier than the original effective date. The FASB has continued to issue ASU topics to further clarify ASU 2014-09. These have included ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2016-20. The effective date and transition requirements of these ASU topics are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2015-14. The new standards are effective for the Company's fiscal year ending March 30, 2019, beginning with the first quarter of that fiscal year.
The new standard permits adoption by using either (i) a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. The Company plans to elect the modified retrospective approach as its transition method. The Company developed an implementation plan and assigned cross-functional internal resources to perform a comprehensive assessment of the new standard and its impact on the financial statements of the Company. This assessment is ongoing and includes identification, consideration, and quantification of the impact of the new standard on the Company's financial statements, accounting policies, processes, control environment and systems. The outcome of this evaluation will be the implementation of supporting processes and systems that enable timely and accurate reporting under the new standard.
While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts under the new standard, we believe that based on a preliminary assessment the new standard is unlikely to result in a significant change to the amount or timing of revenue recognition related to system sales or service contracts, the Company's major revenue streams. There may be some impact related to the allocation of value and timing of recognition in situations where service contracts, which the Company expects to be recognized over time, are sold together with systems that are primarily recognized at a point in time. The Company believes that certain aspects of the new guidance will require significant judgment, including identification of relevant performance obligations and quantification and allocation of the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Further, in connection with the adoption of the standard, there is a requirement to capitalize certain costs, which for the Company primarily comprises commission expenses for sales representatives. Any such costs required to be capitalized would amortize over the period of performance for the underlying contracts. The Company is still evaluating the impact of capitalizing costs to execute a contract. However, the primary potential impact is expected to relate to commissions on service contracts with a duration approximating or exceeding one year. The impact related to contracts with a duration over one year is not expected to be significant and the Company expects to elect the practical expedient under the new standard for costs with a duration less than one year and expense those items as incurred. This preliminary assessment is based on the Company's analysis of actual historical revenue transactions and current customer contracts under the new guidance and presumes certain conclusions as it relates to accounting policies under the new standard and the Company's current contracts. Due to the complexity of certain of the Company's contracts and at least the possibility that contractual arrangements could change, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under the new standard for these arrangements may be dependent on contract-specific terms and may vary from this overall expectation. The Company currently expects that necessary operational changes will be implemented prior to the adoption date. The new standard will increase the Company's revenue related disclosures; primarily by expanding disclosure of the Company's policies, significant estimates, and performance obligations.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, to improve and simplify the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory, requiring companies to recognize income tax consequences upon the transfer of the asset to a third party. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, which would be the Company's fiscal year ending March 30, 2019. While the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-16 to have a material effect on its business, the Company is still evaluating any potential impact that adoption of ASU 2016-16 may have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods, which would be the Company's fiscal year ending March 28, 2020. The Company is still evaluating any potential impact that adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
