New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)” on a retrospective basis. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of 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. ASU 2014-09 resulted in enhanced revenue-related disclosures. The standard primarily impacted the manner in which it treats certain costs to fulfill contracts (i.e., implementation costs) and costs to acquire new contracts (i.e., selling costs). The provisions of the new standard require the Company to capitalize and amortize additional implementation costs than those capitalized and amortized under previous U.S. GAAP. Under previous U.S. GAAP, the Company immediately expensed all selling expenses. The adoption of the provisions of the new standard did not materially impact the timing or amount of revenue the Company recognized and did not result in significant changes in its business processes or systems. Refer to Note 3 for further details. Refer to the table below for a summary of the restatements required, as a result of this change, on the Company's statements of consolidated earnings for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2018, and consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost.” ASU 2017-07 requires reporting the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising during the period in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. The other components of net periodic pension cost are required to be presented in the Statements of Consolidated Earnings separately from the service cost component. The Company retrospectively adopted the new standard, and as a result reclassified the non-service cost components of the net periodic benefit cost from within the respective line items of our Statements of Consolidated Earnings to Other income, net. Refer to the table below for a summary of the reclassification required, as a result of this change, on the Company's consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of the new accounting rules only impacted the classification of expenses on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings and did not impact the Company’s consolidated earnings, balance sheets, or cash flows.

Adoption of ASC 606 and ASU 2017-07 impacted the Company's prior period Statements of Consolidated Earnings, Consolidated Balance Sheets, and Consolidated Cash Flows as follows:

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company prospectively adopted ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software.” ASU 2018-15 clarifies and aligns the accounting and capitalization of implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements that are service arrangements with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software under ASC 350-40. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In March 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." ASU 2018-02 allows companies to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect the reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into retained earnings of $42.3 million. The Company's policy for releasing disproportionate income tax effects from AOCI utilizes the aggregate approach. Refer to Note 16 for additional detail regarding the components of the reclassification. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The following table summarizes recent ASU's issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.



Standard	Description	Effective Date	Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2018-14 Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans	This update modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures for these plans. The eliminated disclosures include (a) the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year, and (b) the effects of a one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the net periodic benefit costs and the benefit obligation for post-retirement health care benefits. Additional disclosures include descriptions of significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 would need to be applied on a retrospective basis.	July 1, 2021 (“Fiscal 2022”)	The adoption of this guidance will modify disclosures but will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement	This update modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. Certain disclosures in ASU 2018-13 would need to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis.	July 1, 2020 (“Fiscal 2021”)	The adoption of this guidance will modify disclosures but will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
ASU 2018-09 Codification Improvements	This amendment makes changes to a variety of topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification. The transition guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective immediately. However, many of the amendments do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.	The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment.	Clarifications which were effective immediately were not applicable and for other amendments the Company determined the impact of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.



Standard	Description	Effective Date	Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842)	This update amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting and requires lessees to recognize most lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-10-Codification Improvements to Topic 842 (Leases), and Accounting Standards Update 2018-11-Leases (Topic 842)-Targeted Improvements, which (i) narrows amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, (ii) provides entities with an additional transition method to adopt the new standard, and (iii) provides lessors with a practical expedient for separating components of a contract. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) to be more general and/or to correct unintended application of guidance.	July 1, 2019 (“Fiscal 2020”)	The Company has been assessing the impacts of the new standard. The Company anticipates using the optional transition method with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has reached a decision as to the systems it will use to manage the accounting for leases, determined the contracts that are considered leases under the new guidance and is currently in the process of implementing the systems and establishing the appropriate controls and procedures. The Company will utilize the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the new guidance which, among other things, will allow the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. Upon adoption, the Company anticipates a material impact to its Consolidated Balance Sheets but expects no impact to the Statements of Consolidated Earnings or Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. The most significant impact will be the recognition of the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. We estimate the adoption of the guidance will result in the recognition and presentation of total operating lease ROU assets to be approximately $600 million to $700 million and total operating lease liabilities to be approximately $500 million to $600 million, upon the adoption date.
