Recently Adopted Standards and Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance related to the disclosures around going concern. The new standard provides guidance around management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on revenue recognition. Under this new standard, an entity shall recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates a five-step process that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) and all relevant facts and circumstances. This standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method and will be effective for us beginning in 2018. Early adoption is permitted in 2017. We are currently assessing the impact this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined a transition method.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2015, the FASB issued new guidance to classify deferred tax assets (DTAs) and deferred tax liabilities as noncurrent in the balance sheet. We have elected to early adopt this guidance effective December 31, 2015. We adopted this guidance retrospectively which results in us classifying the December 31, 2014 current DTA balance of $10.8 million with the noncurrent DTA for a total December 31, 2014 noncurrent DTA balance of $65.4 million.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance for the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. Under this new guidance, debt issuance costs (except for lines of credit) are classified in the balance sheet as a deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Additionally, amortization of these costs must be classified as interest expense. We have elected to early adopt this guidance effective December 31, 2015. Retrospective adoption of this guidance resulted in us classifying $3.3 million and $1.6 million of deferred loan costs as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as a reduction of long-term debt. Reported interest expense was not affected.

In April 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on reporting and disclosure requirements related to discontinued operations. With the new guidance, a disposal of a component or group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2015.
