New Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Pronouncements ASU 2018-05 In March 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740)." ASU 2018-05 provides amendments to SEC paragraphs pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 118 related to the accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA" or the "Act") enacted as of December 22, 2017. ASU 2018-05 clarifies the income tax effects of the TCJA when accounting under Topic 740 is (1) complete, (2) incomplete, but for which a reasonable estimate can be determined, or (3) incomplete, but for which a reasonable estimate cannot be determined. The adoption of ASU 2018-05 as of the March 13, 2018 issuance date had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Upon further analysis of our transition tax calculation, we recorded an increase to the provisional amount of less than $0.1 million, which equates to a less than 1.0% impact to the effective tax rate, in the third quarter of 2018. This amount is included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations. Items not yet completed include the U.S. state impact of the TCJA. We expect to finalize our calculation of the tax effects of the TCJA in the fourth quarter of 2018, and any adjustments to the provisional amounts will be recorded as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations at that time. ASU 2017-09 In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope in Modification Accounting." ASU 2017-09 provides clarity and reduces diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all of certain criteria are met. Those criteria relate to fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the modified award. If all three conditions are the same for the modified award as for the original award, then the entity should not account for the effects of the modification. ASU 2017-09 is effective for all entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Our adoption of ASU 2017-09 as of January 1, 2018 had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ASU 2016-16 In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." Current GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset is sold to an outside party. The amendments in ASU 2016-16 eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory, and allows recognition of the income tax consequences when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for public companies' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings. Our adoption of ASU 2016-16 as of January 1, 2018 had no material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ASU 2016-15 In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are intended to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, with the intent of reducing diversity in practice for the eight types of cash flows identified. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public companies' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Our adoption of ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 had no material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ASU 2014-09 In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance, and requires companies to recognize revenue based upon the transfer of promised goods and/or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and/or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosures related to the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We applied the five-step method outlined in the ASU to all revenue streams and elected the full retrospective method for our adoption of the standard as of January 1, 2018. The additional disclosures required by the ASU are included in Note 2, Revenues. Recently Issued Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted ASU 2018-15 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." The amendments in ASU 2018-15 align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing hosting arrangement ("CCA") that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected. ASU 2018-15 also includes provisions for expensing the capitalized implementation costs over the term of the hosting arrangement, and application of impairment and abandonment guidance under Subtopics 350-40 and 360-10, respectively. Further, the amendments include presentation requirements in the entity's financial statements for the capitalized implementation costs and related amortization expense. ASU 2018-15 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We expect to have presentation changes to our consolidated balance sheets, otherwise, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-15 to have a material impact to our financial statements or to our business processes. ASU 2018-13 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 based on the concepts in the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting - Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, which was finalized in August 2018. The main provisions include removals, modifications, and additions of specific disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial year of adoption, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted, and an entity may early adopt upon issuance of ASU 2018-13 those amendments that remove or modify disclosures and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until the effective date. While we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to have a material effect on our business, we are evaluating the potential impact that the new ASU may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. ASUs 2018-11, 2018-10, 2018-01 and 2016-02 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 replaces the existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, "Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842"; ASU 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases"; and ASU 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements". The new standard establishes a right-of-use model ("ROU") that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating. For finance leases the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the ROU asset, and for operating leases the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt the new standard on its effective date. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. We expect to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to elect the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We do not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us. We expect the new standard to have a material effect on our financial statements. While we continue to assess all of the effects of adoption, we currently believe the most significant effects relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our facilities operating leases, and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities. Based on our analyses to date, we have identified potential accounting and financial reporting impacts to our business processes, controls and systems as a result of the new standard, and we are planning for those changes. We are continuing to review our existing vendor contracts for potential embedded leases as well as renewal options and whether exercises of renewal options are reasonably certain. Based on our analyses to date of our existing operating and financing leases, we currently expect to recognize additional operating lease liabilities of approximately $18 million, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases, net of reductions for the impacts of deferred rents and lease incentives. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We currently expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also currently expect to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases. ASU 2018-09 In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, "Codification Improvements." The FASB has a standing project to address suggestions received from stakeholders on the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC" or "Codification") and to make other incremental improvements to GAAP. This perpetual project facilitates ASC updates for technical corrections, clarifications, and other minor improvements, and these amendments are referred to as Codification improvements. ASU 2018-09 includes amendments affecting a wide variety of topics and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments in the ASU do not require transition guidance and are effective upon issuance of the ASU. However, many of the amendments in the ASU have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for public business entities. While we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-09 to have a material effect on our business, we are evaluating the potential impact that the new ASU may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. ASU 2018-07 In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards with certain exceptions. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. Further, Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public companies' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. While we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-07 to have a material effect on our business, we are evaluating the potential impact that the new ASU may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. ASU 2018-02 In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)." ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA, thereby eliminating the stranded tax effects and improving the usefulness of reported information to financial statement users. ASU 2018-02 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for which financial statements have not yet been issued. While we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-02 to have a material effect on our business, we are evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2018-02 may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. ASU 2017-12 In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." ASU 2017-12 provides better alignment of an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting of hedges through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2017-12 also simplify the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements to increase the understandability of the results of an entity's intended hedging strategies. ASU 2017-12 is effective for public companies' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the new standard, with effect of adoption reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing as of the adoption date, an entity should apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income and opening retaining earnings. Amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively, and certain transition elections are available upon adoption. While we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-12 to have a material effect on our business, we are evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2017-12 may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Revenue Recognition	Exemptions and Elections We apply the practical expedient as per ASC 606-10-50-14 and do not disclose information related to remaining performance obligations due to their original expected durations are one year or less. We expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been less than one year. These costs are recorded in selling and marketing expense. We generally account for our shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment activity, consistent with the timing of revenue recognition; that is, when our customer takes control of the transferred goods. In the event that a customer were to take control of a product prior to shipment, we make an accounting policy election to treat such shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost.Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Our product sales and shipping revenues are reported net of promotional discounts, returns allowances, contractual rebates, and consideration payable to our customers. We estimate the revenue impact of retail sales incentive programs based on the planned duration of the program and historical experience. If the amount of sales incentives is reasonably estimable, the impact of such incentives is recorded at the later of the time the customer is notified of the sales incentive or the time of the sale. We estimate our liability for product returns based on historical experience, and record the expected customer refund liability as a reduction of revenue, and the expected inventory right of recovery, net of estimated scrap, as a reduction of cost of sales. If actual return costs differ from previous estimates, the amount of the liability and corresponding revenue are adjusted in the period in which such costs occur. We provide standard assurance-type warranties on our products which cover defective materials or nonconforming products, and is included with each product at no additional charge. In addition, we offer service-type/extended warranties for an additional fee to our Direct channel customers and Retail specialty and commercial customers. These warranty contracts provide coverage on labor and parts beyond the standard assurance warranty period. For our product sales, services, and freight and delivery fees, we are the principal in the contract and recognize revenue at a point in time. For our Direct channel extended warranty contracts, we are the agent and recognize revenue on a net basis because our performance obligation is to facilitate the arrangement between our customers and the third-party performance obligor. For customer contracts that include multiple performance obligations, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We generally determine standalone selling price based on prices charged to customers or using expected cost plus margin.

In March 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740)." ASU 2018-05 provides amendments to SEC paragraphs pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 118 related to the accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA" or the "Act") enacted as of December 22, 2017. ASU 2018-05 clarifies the income tax effects of the TCJA when accounting under Topic 740 is (1) complete, (2) incomplete, but for which a reasonable estimate can be determined, or (3) incomplete, but for which a reasonable estimate cannot be determined. The adoption of ASU 2018-05 as of the March 13, 2018 issuance date had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Upon further analysis of our transition tax calculation, we recorded an increase to the provisional amount of less than $0.1 million, which equates to a less than 1.0% impact to the effective tax rate, in the third quarter of 2018. This amount is included as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations. Items not yet completed include the U.S. state impact of the TCJA. We expect to finalize our calculation of the tax effects of the TCJA in the fourth quarter of 2018, and any adjustments to the provisional amounts will be recorded as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations at that time.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope in Modification Accounting." ASU 2017-09 provides clarity and reduces diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718 to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all of certain criteria are met. Those criteria relate to fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the modified award. If all three conditions are the same for the modified award as for the original award, then the entity should not

account for the effects of the modification. ASU 2017-09 is effective for all entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Our adoption of ASU 2017-09 as of January 1, 2018 had no material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." Current GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset is sold to an outside party. The amendments in ASU 2016-16 eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory, and allows recognition of the income tax consequences when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for public companies' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings. Our adoption of ASU 2016-16 as of January 1, 2018 had no material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are intended to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, with the intent of reducing diversity in practice for the eight types of cash flows identified. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public companies' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Our adoption of ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 had no material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance, and requires companies to recognize revenue based upon the transfer of promised goods and/or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and/or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosures related to the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We applied the five-step method outlined in the ASU to all revenue streams and elected the full retrospective method for our adoption of the standard as of January 1, 2018. The additional disclosures required by the ASU are included in Note 2, Revenues.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." The amendments in ASU 2018-15 align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing hosting arrangement ("CCA") that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected. ASU 2018-15 also includes provisions for expensing the capitalized implementation costs over the term of the hosting arrangement, and application of impairment and abandonment guidance under Subtopics 350-40 and 360-10, respectively. Further, the amendments include presentation requirements in the entity's financial statements for the capitalized implementation costs and related amortization expense. ASU 2018-15 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We expect to have presentation changes to our consolidated balance sheets, otherwise, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-15 to have a material impact to our financial statements or to our business processes.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 based on the concepts in the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting - Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, which was finalized in August 2018. The main provisions include removals, modifications, and additions of specific disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Certain amendments should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial year of adoption, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted, and an entity may early adopt upon issuance of ASU 2018-13 those amendments that remove or modify disclosures and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until the effective date. While we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to have a material effect on our business, we are evaluating the potential impact that the new ASU may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 replaces the existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, "Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842"; ASU 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases"; and ASU 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements". The new standard establishes a right-of-use model ("ROU") that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating. For finance leases the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the ROU asset, and for operating leases the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense.

The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt the new standard on its effective date. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. We expect to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.

The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to elect the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We do not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us.

We expect the new standard to have a material effect on our financial statements. While we continue to assess all of the effects of adoption, we currently believe the most significant effects relate to the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our facilities operating leases, and providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities. Based on our analyses to date, we have identified potential accounting and financial reporting impacts to our business processes, controls and systems as a result of the new standard, and we are planning for those changes.

We are continuing to review our existing vendor contracts for potential embedded leases as well as renewal options and whether exercises of renewal options are reasonably certain. Based on our analyses to date of our existing operating and financing leases, we currently expect to recognize additional operating lease liabilities of approximately $18 million, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases, net of reductions for the impacts of deferred rents and lease incentives.

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We currently expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also currently expect to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, "Codification Improvements." The FASB has a standing project to address suggestions received from stakeholders on the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC" or "Codification") and to make other incremental improvements to GAAP. This perpetual project facilitates ASC updates for technical corrections, clarifications, and other minor improvements, and these amendments are referred to as Codification improvements. ASU 2018-09 includes amendments affecting a wide variety of topics and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments in the ASU do not require transition guidance and are effective upon issuance of the ASU. However, many of the amendments in the ASU have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for public business entities. While we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-09 to have a material effect on our business, we are evaluating the potential impact that the new ASU may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards with certain exceptions. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards.

Further, Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public companies' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. While we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-07 to have a material effect on our business, we are evaluating the potential impact that the new ASU may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)." ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA, thereby eliminating the stranded tax effects and improving the usefulness of reported information to financial statement users. ASU 2018-02 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities for which financial statements have not yet been issued. While we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-02 to have a material effect on our business, we are evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2018-02 may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." ASU 2017-12 provides better alignment of an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting of hedges through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2017-12 also simplify the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements to increase the understandability of the results of an entity's intended hedging strategies. ASU 2017-12 is effective for public companies' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the new standard, with effect of adoption reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing as of the adoption date, an entity should apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income and opening retaining earnings. Amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively, and certain transition elections are available upon adoption. While we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-12 to have a material effect on our business, we are evaluating the potential impact that ASU 2017-12 may have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
