Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we adopted an accounting standard issued by FASB that clarifies previous U.S. GAAP regarding the release of cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) into earnings in certain situations. When an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer of such subsidiary or group of assets results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of such foreign entity, any related CTA should be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and included in the calculation of the gain or loss on the sale or transfer. Upon a sale or complete or substantially complete liquidation of an investment in a consolidated foreign entity that results in either (1) a loss of a controlling financial interest in the foreign entity or (2) an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which the acquirer held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date in a business combination achieved in stages, any related CTA should be reclassified from AOCI and included in the calculation of the gain or loss on the sale or liquidation. For a sale of part of an ownership interest in a foreign investment that is accounted for as an equity method investment, a pro rata portion of CTA attributable to that investment should be reclassified from AOCI and included in the calculation of the gain or loss on the sale. The adoption of this standard did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we also adopted an accounting standard issued by the FASB that requires unrecognized tax benefits to be presented as a decrease in a net operating loss, similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward if certain criteria are met. The adoption of this standard did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we adopted an accounting standard issued by the FASB that requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The new guidance has been applied on a retrospective basis, as required. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or cash flows, and did not impact our results of operations.

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we adopted an accounting standard issued by the FASB that raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and allows companies to have significant continuing involvement and continuing cash flows with discontinued operations. This standard also requires additional disclosures for discontinued operations and new disclosures for individually material disposal transactions that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This standard is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or cash flows, and did not impact our results of operations.

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we adopted an accounting standard issued by the FASB that allows employers with fiscal year ends that do not coincide with a calendar month end to make an accounting policy election to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the end of the month closest to their fiscal year ends. This practical expedient must be applied consistently to all defined benefit plans. This standard is to be applied prospectively. We applied this new standard when measuring our defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the end of fiscal 2015. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes nearly all revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards and supersedes some cost guidance for construction-type and production-type contracts. The guidance in this standard is principles-based, and accordingly, entities will be required to use more judgment and make more estimates than under prior guidance, including identifying contract performance obligations, estimating variable consideration to include in the contract price and allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations. The guidance in this standard is applicable to all contracts with customers, regardless of industry-specific or transaction-specific fact patterns. Additionally, this standard provides guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (e.g., service revenue, contract modifications and licenses of intellectual property) and modifies guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The core principle of this standard is that entities should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised 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 and services. To help financial statement users better understand the nature, amount, timing and potential uncertainty of the revenue that is recognized, this standard requires significantly more interim and annual disclosures. This standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption (application to all periods presented) or “modified retrospective” adoption (application to only the most current period presented in the financial statements, as well as certain additional required footnote disclosures). On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date, while permitting entities to elect to adopt one year earlier on the original effective date. As a result, this standard is now effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is our fiscal 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
