Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance 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 to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption as of January 1, 2017 is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018. The Company expects to apply the full retrospective method of adoption. The Company has developed a project plan to assess the potential impact of the standard and has evaluated a sample of significant contracts. The Company has not yet reached a conclusion as to how the adoption of the standard will affect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In July 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendment requires an entity to measure inventory that is within the scope of this amendment at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Existing impairment models will continue to be used for inventories that are accounted for using the last-in first-out (“LIFO”) method. The ASU requires prospective adoption for inventory measurements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. Early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 as of January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis, and there was no significant impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under current accounting guidance an entity is not required to report operating leases on the balance sheet. The amendment requires that lessees recognize virtually all of their leases on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability (other than leases that meet the definition of a "short-term lease"). This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) (ASU 2016-09), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment. Under current accounting guidance an entity is required to report excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies, to the extent of previous windfalls, in equity when an award is settled. A tax benefit currently is recognized only when it is realized. Excess tax benefits at settlements are currently reported as cash inflows from financing activities. The amendment requires that an entity present all excess tax benefits and all tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the statement of operations to be applied using a prospective transition method. Related tax effects of share-based payment settlements are to be presented as cash inflows from operating activities with either a prospective or retrospective transition method. The amendment also removes the requirement to delay recognition of an excess tax benefit until the tax benefit is realized. A modified retrospective transition method must be applied for this provision of the amendment. ASU 2016-09 allows the Company to elect either to account for forfeitures based on an estimate of the number of awards for which the requisite service period is not expected to be rendered with a true-up for actual forfeitures or to account for forfeitures as they occur. The amendment also requires cash outflows attributable to tax withholdings on the net settlement of equity-classified awards to be classified in financing cash flows, with any changes to be applied retrospectively. ASU 2016-09 is effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption was permitted.
The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2016-09 during the quarter ended June 30, 2016. As a result, the Company has reflected any adjustments as of January 1, 2016, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The impact in retained earnings as of December 31, 2015 from this provision was not significant. The Company has adopted amendments related to accounting for excess tax benefits prospectively, resulting in recognition of excess tax benefits against income tax expenses rather than additional paid-in capital of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Amendments related to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows have been adopted retrospectively. As a result of this adoption, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $5.9 million, and net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The prior periods were retrospectively adjusted to reflect the change.
In August 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The guidance addresses the classification of cash flows related to debt repayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or debt instruments with coupon rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and corporate-owned life insurance, distribution received from equity method investees and beneficial interest in securitization transaction. This update will become effective for all annual periods and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued Update No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The guidance requires the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory to be recognized as current period income tax expense or benefit and removes the requirement to defer and amortize the consolidated tax consequences of intra-entity transfers. The new standard will be effective for all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Update 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard eliminates the second step in the goodwill impairment test, which requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, an entity should recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the impairment loss not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests conducted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2017 and will apply the new guidance in its annual assessment in the third quarter of 2017.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Update No. 2017-01, Business Combinations. The standard provides guidance for evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (a “set”) does not qualify to be a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in an identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets and activities is not a business. If the screen is not met, the guidance requires a set of assets and activities to be considered a business and to include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs and removes the evaluation as to whether a market participant could replace the missing elements. The new standard will be effective for all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-01 effective January 1, 2017. The implementation of the amended guidance did not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
