2.  Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

 

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards—Adopted

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers—In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting changes that replaced most of the detailed guidance on revenue recognition that previously existed under U.S. GAAP. Under the new standard, an entity should recognize revenue when goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. We adopted these changes as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. See Note 4—“Revenues” for further details. 

 

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments—In August 2016, the FASB issued accounting changes that clarify the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice with respect to eight types of cash flows. We adopted these changes as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards—Not Yet Adopted

 

LeasesIn February 2016, the FASB issued accounting changes that require lessees to recognize most long-term leases on the balance sheet through the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability using a modified retrospective transition method. In July 2018, the FASB issued an update to these accounting changes providing an additional, optional transition method that allows lessees the option to initially apply the new accounting changes at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings while continuing to present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, or January 1, 2019 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted.

 

We have implemented a lease management system and are updating our accounting policies and internal controls that would be impacted by the new guidance. We anticipate adopting this new standard on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method and the available practical expedients. We expect the adoption of these accounting changes will materially increase our assets and liabilities, but will not have a material impact on our net income, stockholders’ equity, or cash flows. We are unable to quantify the ultimate impact of adopting this new standard at this time as the actual impact will depend on the total amount of our lease commitments as of the adoption date.

 

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive IncomeIn February 2018, the FASB issued accounting changes that allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform”). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
