Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09 (Topic 718) Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, forfeiture, statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The impact of the adoption on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements was as follows:


•	Forfeitures: The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur using a modified retrospective transition method, rather than estimating forfeitures, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment of $9.0 million, which increased the January 1, 2017 opening accumulated deficit balance on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

•

Income tax accounting: The Company is also required to record excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to stock- based compensation as income tax benefit or expense in the statement of operations prospectively when share-based awards vest or are settled. Upon adoption, the Company recognized the previously unrecognized excess tax benefits using the modified retrospective transition method, which resulted in no impact to the January 1, 2017 opening accumulated deficit balance as previously unrecognized excess tax effects were fully offset by a valuation allowance.

•

Cash flow presentation of excess tax benefits: The Company is required to classify excess tax benefits along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company elected to apply the change in presentation to the statements of cash flows retrospectively and no longer classify the excess tax benefits from share-based compensation as a financing activity. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company reclassified $5.8 million of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation to operating activities from financing activities.

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 (Topic 815) Derivatives and Hedging — Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which expands an entity's ability to hedge financial and nonfinancial risk components and amends how companies assess effectiveness as well as changes the presentation and disclosure requirements. The new standard is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09 (Topic 718) Compensation—Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. The new standard is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08 Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities which shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The ASU will not impact debt securities held at a discount. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05 Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which amends guidance on how entities account for the derecognition of a nonfinancial asset or an in substance nonfinancial asset that is not a business. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, and is to be applied on either a retrospective or modified retrospective basis with early adoption permitted.

Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This ASU will be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 (Topic 805) Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business and assists entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted and will be applied on a prospective basis.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 (Topic 230) Statement of Cash Flow: Restricted Cash, which provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. The amendments of this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The standard must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the cash flow activity presented on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16 (Topic 740) Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. This ASU will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 (Topic 230) Statement of Cash Flow: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and will be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (Topic 326) Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and changes the loss impairment methodology. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, using a modified retrospective adoption method. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842), Leases, which requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for leases classified as operating leases with a lease term of more than twelve months. This ASU should be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard and has commenced the assessment phase to determine the approach for implementing this standard. The adoption of this standard is expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosures. The Company is still evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which changes how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option. The guidance also updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU is to be applied on a prospective basis for amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values, and all other amendments in this standard will be applied on a modified retrospective basis. For equity securities without readily determinable fair values, we expect to elect the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted by observable price changes. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the amendments that will be applied on a modified retrospective basis will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 (Topic 606)—Revenue from Contracts with Customers and several amendments thereafter (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition that will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, and most industry specific guidance. The core principle for ASU 2014-09 is that revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

The Company intends to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 retrospectively, applying the amendments to each prior reporting period presented and currently remains on schedule with its implementation and the preparation of its prior-period financial statements.

Upon adoption, the Company expects a material impact to the opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2016 related to the cumulative effect of adopting this standard, primarily due to the application of the new guidance in the areas of distributor sales, software revenue, contract acquisition costs, variable consideration, and revenue allocation. The Company continues to assess the impact of ASU 2014-09 including any changes to systems, processes, and the control environment as it works through the adoption in 2017, and there remain areas still to be fully concluded upon. In addition, there are ongoing interpretive reviews, which may alter the Company's conclusions on key accounting assessments and the financial impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
