New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2016, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718)." As a result of this standard, the Company prospectively recorded income tax benefits and deficiencies with respect to stock-based compensation as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement for periods beginning after July 1, 2016. This resulted in a $4.9 million and $20.3 million benefit in our income tax expense for the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2016, respectively. The Company retrospectively classified excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows, which increased operating cash flows and decreased financing cash flows by $22.7 million for the six months endedDecember 31, 2015. Refer to Note 13 for the impact of the prospective adoption of the excess tax benefits in the income statement for the three and six months endedDecember 31, 2016.

In July 2016, the Company prospectively adopted ASU 2015-05, "Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement." The update provides guidance on whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. For new and materially modified cloud computing arrangements that include a software license entered into after July 1, 2016, the Company accounted for the software license element consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the new or materially modified cloud computing arrangement did not include a software license, the Company accounted for the arrangement as a service contract. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In July 2016, the Company prospectively adopted ASU 2015-04, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer's Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets." The update allows an entity to remeasure their pension and other post-retirement benefit plan assets and liabilities at the month-end closest to a significant event such as a plan amendment, curtailment, or settlement. The adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows as presented, however the future impact of ASU 2015-04 will be dependent upon the nature of future significant events impacting the Company's pension plans, if any.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business" to clarify the definition of a business in order to allow for the evaluation of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The future impact of ASU 2017-01 will be dependent upon the nature of future acquisitions or dispositions made by the Company, if any.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." This update amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, and requires lessees to recognize most lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and has since issued additional amendments to ASU 2014-09. These new standards require an entity to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of 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. The new standards will also result in enhanced revenue related disclosures. Entities have the option to apply the new guidance under a retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application within the Statements of Consolidated Financial Position. The new standards are effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt the new standard in its fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2018 and anticipates applying the guidance under the full retrospective approach. The Company has not fully determined the impact of these new revenue recognition standards on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows; however, the Company expects the provisions to primarily impact the manner in which it treats certain costs to fulfill contracts (i.e., implementation costs) and costs to acquire new contracts (i.e., selling costs). Generally, as it relates to these two items, the provisions of the new standard will result in the Company deferring additional costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently amortizing them to the Statements of Consolidated Earnings over the expected client life.
