ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and subsequent related ASUs


 
The core principle of the new guidance is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The banking industry does not expect significant changes because major sources of revenue are from financial instruments that have been excluded from the scope of the new standard, (including loans, derivatives, debt and equity securities, etc.). However, these new standards affect other fees charged by banks, such as asset management fees, credit card interchange fees, deposit account fees, etc. Adoption may be made on a full retrospective basis with practical expedients, or on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment.
 
January 1, 2018
 
Approximately 85% of our revenue, including all of our net interest income and a portion of our noninterest income, is out of scope of the guidance. The contracts that are in scope of the guidance are primarily related to service charges and fees on deposit accounts, wealth management income, and other service charges, commissions and fees. We have created an implementation team that is analyzing the individual contracts in scope to determine if our current accounting will change. This review is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2017. We plan to adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective transition method.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
 
The standard provides revised accounting guidance related to the accounting for and reporting of financial instruments. Some of the main provisions include:
– Equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method would be measured at fair value through net income
– Changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities that are measured under the fair value option would be recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”).
– Elimination of the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments carried at amortized cost. However, it will require the use of exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for disclosure purposes.
 
January 1, 2018
 
We do not expect this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. We do not have a significant amount of equity securities classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”). Additionally, we do not have any financial liabilities accounted for under the fair value option. Therefore, the transition adjustment upon adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material. We have formed a working group to evaluate the fair value measurements of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
 
The standard requires that a lessee recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, the standard will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. It also requires disclosures to better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements.
 
January 1, 2019
 
We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had minimum noncancelable net operating lease payments of $275 million that are being evaluated. The implementation team is working on gathering all key lease data elements to meet the requirements of the new guidance. Additionally, we are implementing new lease software that will accommodate the new accounting requirements.

ASU 2017-08, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
 
The amendments in this ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The standard requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The update does not change the accounting for securities held at a discount.
 
January 1, 2019
 
Our initial analysis suggests this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but we will continue to monitor its impact as we move closer to implementation.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ASU 2016-13,
Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
 
The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard replaces today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments such as loans and held-to-maturity (“HTM”) securities that are measured at amortized cost. The standard requires credit losses relating to AFS debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) rather than a reduction of the carrying amount. It also changes the accounting for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The standard retains many of the current disclosure requirements in current GAAP and expands certain disclosure requirements. Early adoption of the guidance is permitted as of January 1, 2019.
 
January 1, 2020
 
We have formed an implementation team led jointly by Credit and the Corporate Controller’s group, that also includes other lines of business and functions within the Company. The implementation team is working on developing models that can meet the requirements of the new guidance. While we expect this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, we are still in process of conducting our evaluation.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ASU 2017-04,
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
 
The standard eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e. Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities would record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on Step 1 of the current guidance). The standard does not change the guidance on completing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. The standard also continues to allow entities to perform the optional qualitative goodwill impairment assessment before determining whether to proceed to Step 1. The standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020. Early adoption is allowed for any goodwill impairment test performed after January 1, 2017.
 
January 1, 2020
 
We do not currently expect this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements since the fair values of our reporting units were not lower than their respective carrying amounts at the time of our goodwill impairment analysis for 2016.

ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
 
The standard requires entities to recognize the income tax effects of share-based awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled (i.e. the additional paid-in capital pools will be eliminated). The standard provides an entity the option to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The standard also requires that excess tax benefits be reflected in the operating section of the statement of cash flows rather than the investing section and to make an election to adopt this requirement either on a retrospective or prospective basis.
 
January 1, 2017
 
Upon adoption of this ASU, there was no material impact from the cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. In the first quarter of 2017 the application of the guidance resulted in a net tax benefit of $4 million. We have elected to account for forfeitures when they occur and to reflect excess tax benefits in the operating section of the statement of cash flows on a prospective basis.
