Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("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 nine months 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 the statement of operations. 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 May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU No. 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The underlying principle of ASU No. 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities may adopt ASU No. 2014-09 either retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements (i.e., the full retrospective method) or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (i.e., the modified retrospective method), without applying it to comparative years’ financial statements.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date,” which allows for a deferral of the adoption date for ASU No. 2014-09 until January 1, 2018, while permitting early adoption no earlier than January 1, 2017.

The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 and anticipates adopting this standard using the modified retrospective method. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating its revenue streams under the requirements of ASU No. 2014-09 and based on the progress of this examination to date, the Company anticipates that its adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 will not result in any material adjustment to its results of operations and financial condition. The Company is also analyzing ASU No. 2014-09's expanded disclosure requirements, and whether the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 will require any changes to its accounting policies, processes, systems and/or internal controls.
