Description
Effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements
ASU 2017-04 Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment testing by removing step two. This guidance was early adopted effective January 1, 2017 and will be applied prospectively.

The adoption of this standard does not have a financial impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Date of adoption: January 1, 2017
ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures. Excess tax benefits previously reported as cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are now required to be reported as operating activities. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017.
The Corporation recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $4 million within the provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2017 related to the excess tax benefit on stock options and performance share units. Prior to adoption, this amount would have been recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

The Corporation elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, which did not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Date of adoption: January 1, 2017
