Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including transactions in which an employee uses shares to satisfy the employer’s minimum statutory income tax withholding obligation, forfeitures and income taxes when awards vest or are settled. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09 beginning on January 1, 2017 and the adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 resulted in tax withholdings related to net share settlements of restricted stock units and awards in the amount of $2.6 million, previously reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the first quarter of 2016 as a component of cash flows from operating activities, to be reclassified as a component of cash flows from financing activities.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventories by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-11 beginning on January 1, 2017 and the adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost,” which changes the way that employers present net periodic pension cost ("NPPC") and net periodic postretirement benefit cost ("NPPBC") within the income statement. The amendment requires an employer to present the service cost component of NPPC and NPPBC in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of NPPC and NPPBC would be presented separately from this line item and below any subtotal of operating income; companies will need to disclose the line items used to present these other components of NPPC and NPPBC, if not separately presented. In addition, only the service cost component would be eligible for capitalization in assets. This guidance is effective retrospectively for annual and quarterly periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2017-07 beginning as of January 1, 2018, and does not expect this new guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which simplifies the annual goodwill impairment analysis test by eliminating Step 2 of the current two-step impairment test. Under this new guidance, an entity would continue to perform the first step of the annual impairment test by comparing the carrying amount of a reporting unit with its fair value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the goodwill impairment charge would be equal to the amount of such difference. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2017-04 beginning as of January 1, 2020 and is in the process of assessing the impact that this new guidance is expected to have on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which further clarifies the definition of a business in an effort to assist entities in evaluating whether a set of transferred assets constitutes a business. Under this new guidance, if substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or similar asset group, the set of transferred assets would not meet the definition of a business and no further evaluation is necessary. If this threshold is not met, the entity would then evaluate whether the set of transferred assets and activities meets the requirement that a business include, at a minimum, an input and a process that together have the ability to create an output. This guidance is effective for annual and quarterly periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU No. 2017-01 beginning as of January 1, 2018 and does not expect this new guidance will have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and/or financial statement disclosures.
