NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amends ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows. This ASU provides guidance on the statement of cash flows presentation of certain transactions where diversity in practice exists. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amended ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, the classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The guidance will be applied either prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified retrospective transition method, depending on the area covered in this update. Upon adoption, any future excess tax benefits or deficiencies will be recorded to the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of income, instead of additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, $8.0 million, $9.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of excess tax benefits were recorded to additional paid-in capital that would have been recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes if this new guidance had been adopted as of the respective dates. Additionally, excess tax benefits will be classified as operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flow instead of in financing activities as required under the current guidance. The Company has not selected a transition method, and except as described above, does not expect the provisions of ASU 2016-09 to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU requires, in most instances, a lessee to recognize on its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and also a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods, using a modified retrospective approach with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This ASU requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company elected to retrospectively adopt ASU 2015-17, thus reclassifying current deferred tax assets to non-current on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result, the Company reclassified $22,616 from current assets to long-term assets as of December 31, 2015. The adoption of this guidance has no impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This ASU applies to inventory measured using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs be presented on the balance sheet as a reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that allows the presentation of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements to continue to be an asset on the balance sheet under the simplified guidance, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the related arrangements. The amendments in these ASUs are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted these ASUs retrospectively effective January 1, 2016, and has reclassified all debt issuance costs, with the exception of those related to the revolving credit facility, as a reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability for both current and prior periods. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU outlines a single, comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance issued by the FASB, including industry specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts with customers to provide goods and services. The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain non-financial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 also requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its reported current net sales; however, given its acquisition strategy, there may be additional revenue streams acquired prior to the adoption date. The Company’s technical analysis is on-going with respect to variable consideration, whether certain contracts’ revenues will be recognized over time or at a point in time, and whether costs to obtain a contract will be capitalized. Further, the Company is continuing to assess what incremental disaggregated revenue disclosures will be required in its consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to evaluate transition methods, and expect to finalize its determination once all other significant matters are concluded.
