Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements	V. RECENTLY ISSUED AND PROPOSED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740); Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This statement requires entities to present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. This statement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, and entities are permitted to apply either prospectively or retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted this guidance prospectively in the fourth quarter of 2015 to simplify the current period presentation of our deferred income taxes, noting prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. For additional information, please see Note J, “Income Taxes,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. This statement eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recorded in a business combination to reflect new information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and that, if known, would have affected measurement or recognition of amounts initially recognized. As an alternative, the amendment requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the financial statements of the period in which adjustments to provisional amounts are determined, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The new standard is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is to be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of the guidance, with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. Additional details regarding our measurement period adjustments can be found in Note C, “Business Combinations,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The new standard applies only to inventory for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in, first-out and the retail inventory method, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out or average cost. Inventory within the scope of this standard is required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASU 2015-07”). Under this standard, investments measured at net asset value, as a practical expedient for fair value, will be excluded from the fair value hierarchy. The only criterion for categorizing investments in the fair value hierarchy will be the observability of the inputs. The standard is effective for us for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including for financial statement periods that have not yet been issued. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-07 to have a material impact on our disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The amendments in ASU 2015-03 require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (“ASU 2015-15”), which allows presentation of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as either in accordance with the amendments in ASU 2015-03, or as an asset with subsequent amortization of the debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the arrangement. These updates are effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, we have $11.2 million in debt issuance costs associated with our current debt obligations that would be reclassified from a long-term asset to a reduction in the carrying amount of our debt. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” This statement eliminates the deferral of the requirements of ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810) - Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” for certain interests in investment funds and provides a scope exception from Topic 810 for certain investments in money market funds. The ASU also makes several modifications to the consolidation guidance for VIEs and general partners’ investments in limited partnerships, as well as modifications to the evaluation of whether limited partnerships are VIEs or voting interest entities. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014‑15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014‑15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures, if required. ASU 2014‑15 will be effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, which will be our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, and to annual and interim periods thereafter. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2014‑15 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and do not expect it to have a material impact our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”). The new revenue recognition standard provides a five‑step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle 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 entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606, Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of this standard by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that year, which for us is January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted any time after the original effective date, which for us is January 1, 2017. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
