Standard
 
Description
ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory
 
The guidance requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The guidance defines net realizable value as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.
ASU No. 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships
 
The guidance clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship, provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met.
ASU No. 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)
 
The guidance eliminates the requirement that an entity retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting if an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. In addition, the guidance requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting.
ASU No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
 
The guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.

ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (Subsequent ASUs have been issued in 2015, 2016 and 2017 to update or clarify this guidance)
 
The new guidance is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of 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. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.
 
January 1, 2018
 
The Company's evaluation process of the new standard includes, but is not limited to, identifying contracts and revenue streams within the scope of the guidance, reviewing and documenting the accounting and identifying and determining the accounting for any related contract costs. The Company continues to document this evaluation and has begun to implement processes and controls for certain revenue streams as warranted by the guidance. The Company's evaluation of revenue streams and contracts at Bolzoni will continue in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company plans to adopt the standard for the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and expects to record a cumulative adjustment to equity for open contracts as of January 1, 2018. At this time, the Company does not expect the impact of the standard on its financial statements, business processes and internal controls over financial reporting to be material. In addition, the standard requires new disclosures which the Company continues to evaluate, and which will first be required in the Company's March 31, 2018 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
