New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Effective April 1, 2017, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) standard update ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”) which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, recognition of stock compensation award forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, the calculation of diluted shares outstanding and classification on the statement of cash flows.

 

The following table summarizes the most significant impacts of ASU 2016-09 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017:

 

Description of Change:

 

Impact of Change Upon Adoption on April 1, 2017 and for the

Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2017:

 

Adoption Method:

The new standard eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized through a reduction in income taxes payable before a company can recognize them in the statement of operations.

 

As a result, on April 1, 2017, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase retained earnings and deferred tax assets by $76.4 million for excess tax benefits not previously recognized.

 

Modified-retrospective (required)

 

 

 

 

 

Excess tax benefits related to restricted stock unit vestings or stock option exercises are recorded through the statement of operations.

 

 

 

The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, included excess tax benefits of $3.2 million and $24.5 million, respectively. These recognized excess tax benefits resulted from restricted stock units that vested or stock options that were exercised during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017.

 

Prospective (required)

 

 

 

 

 

Excess tax benefits related to restricted stock unit vestings or stock option exercises are classified as operating cash flows instead of financing cash flows.

 

Increase in cash flow from operating activities and decrease in cash flow from financing activities by approximately $24.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2017. The statement of cash flows for the prior period has not been adjusted.

 

Prospective (elected)

 

 

 

 

 

Calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding under the treasury method no longer assume that tax benefits related to stock-based awards are used to repurchase common stock.

 

The Company excluded the related tax benefits when applying the treasury stock method for computing diluted shares outstanding on a prospective basis as required by  ASU 2016-09.

 

Prospective (required)

 

 

 

 

 

An accounting policy election can be made to reduce stock-based compensation expense for forfeitures as they occur instead of estimating forfeitures that are expected to occur.

 

The Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur with the change applied on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment on April 1, 2017 to increase additional paid-in capital by $1.8 million, increase deferred tax assets by $0.7 million and decrease retained earnings by $1.1 million. The Company elected to make this accounting policy change to simplify the accounting for stock-based compensation and believes this method provides a more accurate reflection of periodic stock based compensation cost. Prior to the adoption of this accounting standard, the Company estimated at grant the likelihood that the award would ultimately vest, and revised the estimate, if necessary, in future periods if the actual forfeiture rate differed.

 

Modified-retrospective (elected)

 

 

 

 

 

Cash payments to tax authorities for shares withheld to meet employee tax withholding requirements on restricted stock units are classified as financing cash flow instead of operating cash flow.

 

 

 

No change since the Company has historically presented these amounts as a financing activity. Prior to ASU 2016-09, U.S. GAAP has not specified how these types of transactions should be classified in the statement of cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers to provide updated guidance on revenue recognition. This new standard will replace most of the existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU 2014-09 requires a company to 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. In doing so, companies may need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current accounting guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.

 

The Company is assessing all of the potential impacts of the revenue recognition guidance. Although the Company has not yet completed its assessment of the new revenue recognition guidance, the Company believes that the new revenue recognition guidance generally supports the recognition of revenue at a point-in-time for product sales and over an extended period of time for preventative maintenance service agreements, which is consistent with its current revenue recognition model. The Company does anticipate that the new revenue standard will result in expanded financial statement disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company is reviewing and updating its internal controls and processes over revenue recognition in order to prepare for the adoption of and ongoing accounting under the new standard. As the Company completes its evaluation of this new accounting standard, new information may arise that could change the Company’s current understanding of the impact to revenue and expense recognized and financial statement disclosures. Additionally, the Company will continue to monitor industry activities and any additional guidance provided by regulators, standards setters, or the accounting profession and adjust the Company’s assessment and implementation plans accordingly, if required. ASU 2014-09 can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the change recognized at the date of the initial application. The Company will apply the new guidance effective April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method to contracts that are not completed as of April 1, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard, including the cumulative effect of any adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  This guidance changes accounting for financial assets and financial liabilities under the fair value option and includes additional presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 requires certain financial assets to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. ASU 2016-01 eliminates the available-for-sale classification for marketable securities in which changes in fair value are currently recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. ASU 2016-01 also impacts the recognition and measurement of equity investments, which are currently carried at cost, but will be measured at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted with specific application guidance. ASU 2016-01 will become effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact to its consolidated financial statements but ASU 2016-01 could have a significant impact, including additional volatility in other income (expense) within its statement of operations in future periods if there are measurable changes in fair value of equity investments.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The new guidance significantly impacts lessee accounting and financial statement disclosures.  Specifically, this guidance requires lessees to identify arrangements that should be accounted for as leases. Under this guidance, for lease arrangements exceeding a one year term, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation is recorded by the lessee for all leases on the balance sheet, whether operating or financing, while the statement of operations includes lease expense for operating leases and amortization and interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded at the date of adoption of this guidance must be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. Leases with a term of one year or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating its lessee arrangements to determine the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements. This evaluation includes a review of the Company’s existing leasing arrangements on its facilities.  ASU 2016-02 must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after the date of initial adoption, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief.  ASU 2016-02 will become effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2020.
