RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

NOTE 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payments, including income tax consequences and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the new standard, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies will be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. Additionally, excess tax benefits will be classified as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows.  In regards to forfeitures, the entity can make an accounting policy election to either recognize forfeitures as they occur or estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited.  The guidance in ASU 2016-09 is effective for the fiscal year, and interim periods within that fiscal year, beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period, with adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  The Company early adopted this standard during the fourth quarter of FY2016.

Upon adoption, the Company recognized excess tax benefits of $1.2 million during the year ended June 30, 2016 as a reduction to tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, as though ASU 2016-09 had been in effect since the beginning of FY2016.  Consequently, this resulted in an increase in net income ($1.2 million), an increase in earnings per share ($0.05 per share) and a decrease in the annual effective tax rate.  In addition, the excess tax benefits that were previously presented as a financing activity on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are now presented as an operating activity, with prior periods retrospectively adjusted.   The effect of the change on prior periods retrospectively adjusted is an increase in net cash provided by operating activities and a decrease in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities of $3.6 million and $4.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. With respect to forfeitures, the Company will continue to estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited in accordance with our existing accounting policy. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which amends the existing guidance on accounting for leases.  The new standard requires lessees to put virtually all leases on the balance sheet by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged from that applied under previous guidance. The amended guidance is effective for the fiscal year, and interim periods within that fiscal year, beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The guidance in ASU 2015-17 is effective for the fiscal year, and interim periods within that fiscal year, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted.  The Company early adopted this standard as of January 1, 2016 and applied the standard retrospectively.  As a result of adopting this standard, current deferred tax assets of $10.4 million were reclassified as a reduction to net non-current deferred tax liabilities as of June 30, 2015.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which simplifies the accounting for adjustments made to preliminary amounts recognized in a business combination by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments. Instead, adjustments will be recognized in the period in which the adjustments are determined, including the effect on earnings of any amounts that would have been recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The Company early adopted this standard as of January 1, 2016, and will prospectively apply the standard to business combination adjustments identified after the date of adoption.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Under the new standard, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are required to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance in ASU 2015-03 is effective for the fiscal year, and interim periods within that fiscal year, beginning after December 15, 2015.  The Company early adopted this standard as of January 1, 2016 and applied the standard retrospectively.  As a result of adopting this standard, $4.7 million of debt issuance costs were reclassified from other long-term assets to long-term debt as of June 30, 2015.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach. Early adoption up to the original effective date is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which the Company will adopt the standard.
