Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU No. 2014-09 and related updates are referred to herein as “ASU 2014-09”. ASU 2014-09 replaces numerous requirements in GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, and provides companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the new standard, the two permitted transition methods are the full retrospective method and the modified retrospective method. The full retrospective method requires the standard to be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard to be recognized at the earliest period shown. The modified retrospective method requires the cumulative effect of applying the standard to be recognized at the date of initial application. Effective January 28, 2018, the Company adopted the requirements of ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method. As a practical expedient, the Company adopted the new standard only for existing contracts as of January 28, 2018, the date of adoption. Any contracts that had expired prior to January 28, 2018 were not evaluated against the new standard. The Company believes its application of the new standard to only those contracts existing as of January 28, 2018 did not have a material impact on adoption.

In accordance with the guidance under ASU 2014-09, the Company reclassified $311.7 million of unbilled receivables from contract assets (historically referred to as Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings) to accounts receivable, net as of January 28, 2018, the date of the Company’s adoption. As a result of the reclassification, accounts receivable, net and contract assets were $630.4 million and $57.8 million, respectively, as of January 28, 2018. The reclassification was a non-cash activity between contract assets and accounts receivable, net and did not impact net cash (used in) provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The impact of adoption on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 27, 2018 is as follows (dollars in thousands):



	October 27, 2018
	As reported		Balances Without Adoption of ASU 2014-09		Effect of Change
Assets
Accounts receivable, net	$	849,769	$	477,418	$	372,351
Contract assets	$	147,320	$	519,671	$	(372,351	)

The adoption of ASU 2014-09 resulted in balance sheet classification changes for amounts that have not been invoiced to customers but for which the Company has satisfied the performance obligation and has an unconditional right to receive payment. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, amounts not yet invoiced to customers were included in the Company’s contract assets (historically referred to as Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings) regardless of rights to payment. These amounts represent unbilled accounts receivable for which the Company has an unconditional right to receive payment although invoicing is subject to the completion of certain process or other requirements. Such requirements may include the passage of time, completion of other items within a statement of work, or other contractual billing requirements.

The standard did not impact the opening retained earnings of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet or the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations as timing and amount of revenue recognized under the new standard was unchanged as compared to the Company’s historical revenue recognition practices.

Restricted Cash. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 is intended to reduce the diversity in practice regarding the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash within the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update require that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts of cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 effective January 28, 2018, the first day of fiscal 2019, and applied this change of presentation retrospectively to the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 28, 2017. As a result of the retrospective adoption, the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts of cash and cash equivalents have been restated to include restricted cash of $5.4 million, $6.3 million, and $6.2 million as of January 28, 2017, October 28, 2017, and January 27, 2018, respectively. Restricted cash primarily relates to funding provisions of the Company’s insurance program.

Statement of Cash Flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice regarding the classification of certain transactions within the statement of cash flows and addresses eight specific topics including, among other things, the classification of cash flows related to debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs. Under the amended guidance, cash payments for debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs are classified as financing activities, whereas historically the Company has classified such cash flows as operating activities. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 effective January 28, 2018, the first day of fiscal 2019, on a retrospective basis as required. There was no impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 27, 2018 or October 28, 2017 as a result of the adoption.

The Company also adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates during the nine months ended October 27, 2018, neither of which had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:



ASU		Adoption Date
2016-16	Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory	January 28, 2018
2017-01	Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business	January 28, 2018

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU No. 2016-02 and related updates are referred to herein as “ASU 2016-02”. ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability of accounting for lease transactions by requiring lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than twelve months, including those classified as operating leases under current guidance. The new guidance substantially retains the classification for lease transactions as finance or operating and, as a result, the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement is largely unchanged. For finance leases the lessee recognizes interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset and for operating leases the lessee recognizes total lease expense on a straight-line basis. ASU 2016-02 is required to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach and provides an option to recognize the cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of either the earliest period presented or the period of adoption. The new guidance will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended January 25, 2020 (“fiscal 2020”) and interim reporting periods within that year.

The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 effective January 27, 2019, the first day of fiscal 2020, using the option of applying the new lease requirements at the date of adoption. Accordingly, comparative financial statements for periods prior to the date of adoption will not be adjusted. The Company expects to elect the practical expedients that allow it to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts represent leases, the classification of any expired or existing leases, and the initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. While the Company continues to evaluate the effect of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements, it expects to recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet for substantially all of its operating leases with terms greater than twelve months. At January 27, 2018, future minimum lease payments with respect to existing lease obligations under non-cancellable operating leases with terms greater than twelve months were $64.6 million, of which $39.7 million related to fiscal 2020 and subsequent years. The actual amount of lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet will depend on the Company’s operating lease obligations at the date of adoption. ASU 2016-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the amount of expense recognized in connection with the Company’s current leases as compared to current practice. In addition, the Company is evaluating the effect of ASU 2016-02 on its systems, business processes, and controls, and expects to implement new lease accounting and administration software in connection with the new standard.
