Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Jan. 30, 2016

Destination XL Group, Inc. (formerly known as Casual Male Retail Group, Inc. and collectively with its subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”) is the largest specialty retailer in the United States of big & tall men’s apparel. The Company operates under the trade names of Destination XL^® (DXL^®), DXL Outlets^®, Casual Male XL^®, Casual Male XL Outlets, Rochester Clothing, ShoesXL^® and LivingXL^®. At January 30, 2016, the Company operated 166 DXL^® stores, 125 Casual Male XL, 40 Casual Male XL outlets, 9 DXL outlets and 5 Rochester Clothing stores located throughout the United States, including one store in London, England. The Company also operates a direct business, which includes brand mailers and an aggregated e-commerce site to support its brands and product extensions.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from estimates.

Change in Accounting Principle

The Company historically presented deferred debt issuance costs, or fees directly related to issuing debt, as assets on the consolidated balance sheets. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company elected early adoption of ASU 2015-03, “Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (ASU 2015-03). The guidance simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected. Therefore, these costs will continue to be amortized as interest expense over the term of the corresponding debt issuance. The Company applied the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.

The reclassification did not impact net loss previously reported or any prior amounts reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The following table presents the effect of the retrospective application of this change in accounting principle on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2015:

	As Reported		Effect of Change in			After Change in
Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands)	January 31, 2015		Accounting Principle			Accounting Principle
ASSETS
Current assets:
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	9,190	$	(277	)	$	8,913
Total current assets		132,615		(277	)		132,338
Noncurrent assets:
Other assets		4,849		(942	)		3,907
Total assets		261,100		(1,219	)		259,881

LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Current portion of long-term debt	$	7,489	$	(154	)	$	7,335
Borrowings under credit facility		19,402		(585	)		18,817
Total current liabilities		90,307		(739	)		89,568
Long-term liabilities:
Long-term debt, net of current portion		26,651		(480	)		26,171
Total long-term liabilities		78,403		(480	)		77,923
Total liabilities and stockholders' equity		261,100		(1,219	)		259,881

Reclassifications

As a result of the Company’s adopting ASU 2015-03, the Company has reclassified $192,000 and $136,000 from “Change in Other Assets” to “Amortization of Deferred Debt Issuance Costs” in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.

Subsequent Events

All appropriate subsequent event disclosures, if any, have been made in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment Reporting

The Company reports its operations as one reportable segment, Big & Tall Men’s Apparel, which consists of two principal operating segments: its retail business and its direct business. The Company considers its operating segments to be similar in terms of economic characteristics, production processes and operations, and have therefore aggregated them into a single reporting segment, consistent with its omni-channel business approach. The direct operating segment includes the operating results and assets for LivingXL and ShoesXL.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31. Fiscal years 2015, 2014 and 2013, which were 52-week periods, ended on January 30, 2016, January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments, which have a maturity of ninety days or less when acquired. Included in cash equivalents are credit card and debit card receivables from banks, which generally settle within two to four business days.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily includes amounts due for tenant allowances and rebates from certain vendors. For fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the Company has not incurred any losses on its accounts receivable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.

The valuation techniques utilized are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related asset or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes observable market inputs (quoted market prices) when measuring fair value whenever possible.

The fair value of long-term debt at January 30, 2016 approximates the carrying amount based upon terms available to the Company for borrowings with similar arrangements and remaining maturities. See Note C, “Debt Obligations”, for more discussion.

The fair value of indefinite-lived assets, which consists of the Company’s “Rochester” trademark, is measured on a non-recurring basis in connection with the Company’s annual impairment test. The fair value of the trademark is determined using the relief from royalty method based on unobservable inputs and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. See Intangibles below.

Retail stores that have indicators of impairment and fail the recoverability test (based on discounted cash flows) are measured for impairment by comparing the fair value of the assets against their carrying value. Fair value of the assets is estimated using a projected discounted cash flow analysis and is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. See Impairment of Long-Lived Assets below.

Inventories

All inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using a weighted-average cost method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or other disposition, the cost and related depreciation of the assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in income. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives as follows:

Furniture and fixtures		Five to ten years
Equipment		Five to ten years
Leasehold improvements		Lesser of useful lives or related lease term
Hardware and software		Three to seven years

Intangibles

ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method. The statement further requires separate recognition of intangible assets that meet one of two criteria set forth in the statement. Under ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles Goodwill and Other”, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment. At each reporting period, management analyzes current events and circumstances to determine whether the indefinite life classification for its “Rochester” trademark continues to be valid. If circumstances warrant a change to a finite life, the carrying value of the intangible asset would then be amortized prospectively over the estimated remaining useful life. The Company’s “Casual Male” trademark is considered a finite life asset. Other intangible assets with defined lives are amortized over their useful lives.

At least annually, as of the Company’s December month-end, the Company evaluates its “Rochester” trademark. The Company performs an impairment analysis and records an impairment charge for any intangible assets with a carrying value in excess of its fair value.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the “Rochester” trademark was tested for potential impairment, utilizing the relief from royalty method to determine the estimated fair value. The Company concluded that the “Rochester” trademark, with a carrying value of $1.5 million at January 30, 2016, was not impaired. Although some of the Rochester locations are closing as part of the DXL expansion, the Rochester Clothing stores that will remain open as well as the Rochester brands that are sold in our DXL stores are currently expected to generate more than sufficient cash flows to support the carrying value of $1.5 million for the “Rochester” trademark.

During the fiscal 2011 annual evaluation of intangibles, the Company determined that its “Casual Male” trademark could no longer be considered an indefinite-lived asset. As the Company opens DXL stores, it is closing the majority of its Casual Male XL stores in those respective markets. The carrying value of the trademark is being amortized on an accelerated basis against projected cash flows through fiscal 2018, its estimated remaining useful life.

Below is a table showing the changes in the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets from January 31, 2015 to January 30, 2016:

(in thousands)	January 31, 2015		Additions		Impairment		Amortization			January 30, 2016
"Rochester" trademark	$	1,500	$	—	$	—	$	—		$	1,500
"Casual Male" trademark ⁽¹⁾		1,479		—		—		(539	)		940
Other intangibles		329		—		—		(100	)		229
Total intangible assets	$	3,308	$	—	$	—	$	(639	)	$	2,669

(1)	The “Casual Male” trademark has been accounted for as a finite-lived asset since the beginning of fiscal 2012.

Other intangibles consist of customer lists, which have a finite life of 16 years based on its estimated economic useful life. At January 30, 2016, customer lists have a remaining life of 2.3 years.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the customer lists and “Casual Male” trademark, subject to amortization, were $7.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively, at January 30, 2016 and $7.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively, at January 31, 2015. Amortization expense for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $0.6 million, $1.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Expected amortization expense for the Company’s “Casual Male” trademark and customer lists, for the next five fiscal years is as follows:

FISCAL YEAR	(in thousands)
2016	$	441
2017	$	407
2018	$	321
2019		—
2020		—

Pre-opening Costs

The Company expenses all pre-opening costs for its stores as incurred.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses in-store advertising costs as incurred. Television advertising costs are expensed in the period in which the advertising is first aired. Direct response advertising costs, if any, are deferred and amortized over the period of expected direct marketing revenues, which is less than one year. There were no deferred direct response costs at January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015. Advertising expense, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, was $23.6 million, $26.0 million and $27.1 million for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the Company’s retail store operation is recorded upon purchase of merchandise by customers, net of an allowance for sales returns. Revenue from the Company’s e-commerce operations is recognized at the time a customer order is delivered, net of an allowance for sales returns. Revenue is recognized by the operating segment that fulfills a customer’s order. Sales tax collected from customers is excluded from revenue and is included as part of accrued expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) - ("AOCI")

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) – (“AOCI”)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes amounts related to foreign currency and pension plans and is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other comprehensive income and reclassifications from AOCI for fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 are as follows:

	Fiscal 2015									Fiscal 2014									Fiscal 2013
(in thousands)
	Pension Plans			Foreign Currency			Total			Pension Plans			Foreign Currency			Total			Pension Plans			Foreign Currency			Total

(1)

Includes the amortization of the unrecognized (gain)/loss on pension plans which was charged to Selling, General and Administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The amortization of the unrecognized loss, before tax, was $647,000, $258,000 and $394,000 for fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively. There was no corresponding tax benefit. Fiscal 2014 includes the recognition of $246,000 related to the substantial liquidation of the Company’s direct business with Sears Canada. The $246,000, with no corresponding tax provision, was recognized in Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal 2014.

Foreign Currency Translation

At January 30, 2016, the Company has one Rochester Clothing store located in London, England. Assets and liabilities for this store are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date. Stockholders’ equity is translated at applicable historical exchange rates. Income, expense and cash flow items are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales for all periods presented. Amounts related to shipping and handling that are billed to customers are recorded in net sales, and the related costs are recorded in Cost of Goods Sold, Including Occupancy Costs, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided to recognize the effect of temporary differences between tax and financial statement reporting. Such taxes are provided for using enacted tax rates expected to be in place when such temporary differences are realized. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the full deferred tax asset would not be realized. If it is subsequently determined that a deferred tax asset will more likely than not be realized, a credit to earnings is recorded to reduce the allowance.

ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) clarifies a company’s accounting for uncertain income tax positions that are recognized in its financial statements and also provides guidance on a company’s de-recognition of uncertain positions, financial statement classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, and disclosure requirements. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company will recognize the benefit from a tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon audit based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in its consolidated statement of operations. The Company has not accrued or paid interest or penalties which were material to its results of operations for fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through fiscal 2001, with remaining fiscal years subject to income tax examination by federal tax authorities.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by giving effect to unvested shares of restricted stock and the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table provides a reconciliation of the number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share:

	FISCAL YEARS ENDED
	January 30, 2016		January 31, 2015		February 1, 2014
(in thousands)
Common stock outstanding:
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		49,089		48,740		48,473
Common stock equivalents – stock options and restricted stock (1)		—		—		—
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		49,089		48,740		48,473

(1)	Common stock equivalents of 582,591 shares, 497,820 shares and 443,410 shares for January 30, 2016, January 31, 2015 and February 1, 2014, respectively, were excluded due to the net loss.

The following potential common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in each year because the exercise price of such options was greater than the average market price per share of common stock for the respective periods or the impact of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, primarily related to unearned compensation.

	FISCAL YEARS ENDED
	January 30, 2016		January 31, 2015		February 1, 2014
(in thousands, except exercise prices)
Stock options (time-vested)		1,244		1,545		2,088
Restricted stock (time-vested)		22		—		—
Range of exercise prices of such options	$4.96-$7.52		$4.96-$7.52		$4.96-$10.26

Excluded from the Company’s computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2015 were 941,082 shares of unvested performance-based restricted stock and 1,181,168 performance-based stock options. These performance-based awards will be included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share if, and when, the respective performance targets are achieved. In addition, 379,061 shares of unvested time-based restricted stock and 31,587 shares of deferred stock are excluded from the computation of basic earnings per share until such shares vest. See Note F, “Long-Term Incentive Plans”, for a discussion of the Company’s 2013-2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2013-2016 LTIP”) and the respective performance targets.

Although the shares of performance-based and time-based restricted stock issued in connection with the 2013-2016 LTIP are not considered outstanding or common stock equivalents for earnings per share purposes until certain vesting and performance thresholds are achieved, all 1,320,143 shares of restricted stock are considered issued and outstanding. Each share of restricted stock has all of the rights of a holder of the Company’s common stock, including, but not limited to, the right to vote and the right to receive dividends, which rights are forfeited if the restricted stock is forfeited. Outstanding shares of deferred stock of 31,587 shares are not considered issued and outstanding until the vesting date of the deferral period.

Stock-based Compensation

ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model and requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before exercising them (the “expected term”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately not complete their vesting requirements (“forfeitures”). As required under the accounting rules, the Company reviews its valuation assumptions at each grant date and, as a result, is likely to change its valuation assumptions used to value employee stock-based awards granted in future periods. The values derived from using the Black-Scholes model are recognized as expense over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ from the Company’s current estimates.

The Company recognized total compensation expense, with no tax effect, of $2.2 million, $3.0 million and $1.9 million for fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.

The total compensation cost related to time-vested stock options and time-based restricted stock awards not yet recognized as of January 30, 2016 is approximately $0.9 million which will be expensed over a weighted average remaining life of approximately 14 months. At January 30, 2016, the Company had $7.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to its performance-based stock options and restricted stock under its 2013-2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan. As discussed below in Note F, “Long-Term Incentive Plans,” because the achievement of the performance targets for these performance awards is not probable, the Company has not recognized any of the related compensation expense.

The total grant-date fair value of options vested was $1.0 million, $1.2 million and $0.1 million for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The cumulative compensation cost of stock-based awards is treated as a temporary difference for stock-based awards that are deductible for tax purposes. If a deduction reported on a tax return exceeds the cumulative compensation cost for those awards, any resulting realized tax benefit that exceeds the previously recognized deferred tax asset for those awards (the excess tax benefit) is recognized as additional paid-in capital. If the amount deductible is less than the cumulative compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes, the write-off of a deferred tax asset related to that deficiency, net of the related valuation allowance, if any, is first offset to the extent of any remaining additional paid-in capital from excess tax benefits from previous awards with the remainder recognized through income tax expense.

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013:

Fiscal years ended:	January 30, 2016		January 31, 2015			February 1, 2014
Expected volatility	37%-39%			46.0	%			52.0	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.75%-1.25%		0.79%-0.95%				0.34%-0.79%
Expected life (in years)	1.8-4.0		2.6-3.5				3.0-4.1
Dividend rate		—		—				—
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	1.44	$	1.71		$		2.07

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock; the expected life represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical exercise patterns; and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for events or changes in circumstances that might indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets over their respective remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the Company’s average cost of funds.

For fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the Company recorded impairment charges of $0.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the write-down of property and equipment. These impairment charges related to stores where the carrying value exceeded fair value. The fair value of these assets, based on Level 3 inputs, was determined using estimated discounted cash flows. The impairment charges are included in Depreciation and Amortization on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013. There was no material impairment of assets in fiscal 2015.

Unredeemed Gift Cards, Gift Certificates, and Credit Vouchers

Upon issuance of a gift card, gift certificate, or credit voucher, a liability is established for its cash value. The liability is relieved and net sales are recorded upon redemption by the customer. Based on our historical redemption patterns, we can reasonably estimate the amount of gift cards, gift certificates, and credit vouchers for which redemption is remote, which is referred to as "breakage." Breakage is recognized over two years in proportion to historical redemption trends and is recorded as net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gift card liability, net of breakage, was $1.8 million and $1.4 million at January 30, 2016 and January 31, 2015, respectively.

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

As discussed above under “Change in Accounting Principle”, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company elected early adoption of ASU 2015-03, which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as deduction from the corresponding liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company applied the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”, which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The Company has early adopted this standard and has applied the requirements retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard had no impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company believes that the following impending standards may have an impact on its future filings. The applicability of any standard will be evaluated by the Company and is still subject to review by the Company.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” as well as various other sections of the ASC, such as, but not limited to, ASC 340-20, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Capitalized Advertising Costs”. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue in a way that depicts 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. ASU 2014-09 also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements that would result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and is to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets on the balance sheet). Early adoption is permitted after December 15, 2016. The Company does not believe that there will be any material impact of ASU 2014-09 on its Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. ASU 2014-12 affects entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company does not believe that there will be any material impact of ASU 2014-12 on its Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20)”. ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP, which requires an entity to separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. ASU 2015-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal - Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”. ASU 2015-05 provides accounting guidance on how customers should treat cloud computing arrangements. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those reporting periods. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or (2) retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This is a change from previous measurement of lower of cost or market, where market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the Company's financial position but does not expect that there will be any material impact of ASU 2015-11 on its Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805),” which simplified the accounting for measurement-period adjustments. The guidance requires a company to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified in the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Any effect on earnings or changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, as a result of the change in provisional amounts, will be recorded as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The portion of the amount that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized will be separately presented on the face of the income statement or disclosed in the notes. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2015, and should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the Company’s financial position but does not expect that there will be any material impact of ASU 2015-16 on its Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which will require an entity to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and will increase disclosure requirements on its leasing arrangements. The guidance requires a lessee to recognize in its statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and the right-of-use asset presenting its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term (the lease asset). When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, a lessee (and a lessor) will include payments to be made in optional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Similarly, optional payments to purchase the underlying asset will be included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that purchase option. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
