Basic earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted earnings per share have been computed, when the result is dilutive, using the treasury stock method for stock awards outstanding during the respective periods. Earnings per share were calculated as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 which provides guidance on how an entity 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 or services and on accounting for costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. The ASU also requires expanded disclosure regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. In July 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of this ASU by one year. This ASU, as amended, will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and can be adopted either full retrospective or modified retrospective with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal 2018. We expect to adopt this ASU on a modified retrospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, and we are currently assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

The FASB since issued additional updates of its new standard on revenue recognition issued in May 2014. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations in ASU 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which amends the guidance in ASU 2014-09 related to identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. Finally, on December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20 which makes minor corrections or minor improvements to the codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create significant administrative costs to most entities. We are currently assessing the adoption and impact of these ASUs on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which modified lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous accounting standards and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new lease standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in the update provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments to the guidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method for each period presented and if it is impracticable to apply all of the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 which simplifies the accounting for the income tax effects of intra-entity transfers and will require companies to recognize the income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Previous guidance required companies to defer the income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets until the asset had been sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 which requires entities to include in their cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. As a result, companies will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We elected to early adopt this ASU and adoption did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
