Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” a new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that supersedes previous guidance under U.S. GAAP. 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. Our implementation efforts included the identification of revenue within the scope of the standard, the evaluation of revenue contracts under the guidance, and assessing the impacts of the new standard on our financial statements.

The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption. This method allows companies to record a one-time adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 for the cumulative effect that the standard will have on open contracts at the date of adoption. During our implementation, we identified certain contracts that now require over time recognition under the new standard, either as goods are manufactured or services are performed, rather than at the time of shipment or completion as we did under previous guidance. Upon adoption, we recorded previously unrecognized revenue of $13.6 million, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment of $2.6 million to our 2018 beginning retained earnings. See Note 3 for further details.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” The ASU requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018. Other components of net pension income includes all amounts other than the service cost component of pension income. Such amounts are included on a separate line below operating income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. The new standard requires a retrospective application and allows a practical expedient that permits an employer to use the amounts disclosed in its pension plan footnote for the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation. This resulted in the reclassification of the following amounts from previously-reported Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-months ended March 31, 2017: $1.7 million of net pension income to Other components of net pension income and $0.5 million of expense to Cost of sales.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842).” This accounting standard requires that a lessee recognize a lease asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 will require additional disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and is effective for the Company as of the first quarter of 2019. An implementation team has been formed to implement the new standard, is working to gather the data required to account for leases under the new standard, and is evaluating the functionality of third-party lease accounting software. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 and an estimate of the impact to the consolidated financial statements cannot be made at this time.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The ASU affects any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard requires a retrospective application to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

No other recently issued ASUs are expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
