NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishing a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This update provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. We have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt this guidance. Between August 2015 and May 2016, the FASB issued four additional updates to 1) ASU No. 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, 2) ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), 3) ASU No. 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and 4) ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients to provide further guidance and clarification in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. During 2017, the Company completed an evaluation of all revenue streams, processes and internal controls relating to the recognition of revenue. Based on this evaluation we updated our internal accounting policies to reflect the new standard and have completed training for all key personnel. We adopted this standard in January 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. See Note 16. "Revenue Recognition" to our unaudited financial statements included in this quarterly report.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which establishes a comprehensive new lease accounting model. This update clarifies the definition of a lease, requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications, and requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease-term of more than twelve months. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within the fiscal year, and requires modified retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - a Consensus of the FASB’s Emerging
Issues Task Force, which provides guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, which specifies that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We adopted this guidance in January 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory ("ASU 2016-16"), which reduces the complexity in the accounting standards by allowing the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. Historically, recognition of the income tax consequence was not recognized until the asset was sold to an outside party. This amendment should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We adopted this standard in January 2018 and determined that no opening balance adjustments were required for the adoption of this guidance.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost (the “other components”) and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is presented. In addition, ASU 2017-07 requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. The amendment should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In January 2018, the Company adopted this guidance. As a result, the Company reclassified $0.2 million from Cost of sales and $0.1 million from Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017, which represents the non-service component of the periodic net benefit cost, into Other non-operating (income) expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We recorded $0.1 million in Other non-operating income related to periodic benefit costs, other than service costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) ("ASU 2017-09"). The standard provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within the fiscal year. We adopted this standard in January 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have an effect on our current financial statements.

In February 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2018-02"), which will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the tax effects resulting from the Tax Reform Act that are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. This standard also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. ASU 2018-02 does not change the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations. ASU 2018-02 will be effective for our fiscal year 2020, with the option to early adopt at any time prior to the effective date. It must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company is evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the financial statements.
