New Accounting Guidance

ASU 2014-09

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers 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. We are evaluating our existing revenue recognition policies to determine whether any contracts in the scope of the guidance will be affected by the new requirements. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein.

ASU 2014-08

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASU 2014-08”). ASU 2014-08 amends the guidance related to reporting for discontinued operations. The amended guidance requires the assets and liabilities of a disposal group be separately presented in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial position. ASU 2014-08 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08 effective as of March 31, 2014, and our adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
