Standards Adopted

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”) to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires an entity with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We have elected to early adopt ASU 2015-17 as of December 31, 2015 and retrospectively applied ASU 2015-17 to all periods presented. 

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires 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. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-03 as of January 1, 2016 and retrospectively applied ASU 2015-03 to all periods presented. As a result, $10.3 million of deferred financing costs in other long-term assets were netted to long-term debt on the 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 changes the evaluation of whether limited partnerships (and similar legal entities) are variable interest entities (VIEs) and eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership that is a voting interest entity. The new guidance also alters the analysis for determining when fees paid to a decision maker or service provider represent a variable interest in a VIE and how interests of related parties affect the primary beneficiary determination. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in the GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date for ASU 2014-09, but would permit companies to adopt the standard as of the original effective date.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern  (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to evaluate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether or not it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The new standard is effective beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-03 changes the measurement principle for inventory from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value for entities that do not measure inventory using the last in, first out or retail inventory method. The ASU also eliminates the requirement for these entities to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 on Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liability on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”). ASU 2016-08 amends the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and clarifies that the analysis must focus on whether the entity has control of the goods and services before they are transferred to the customer. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted but not before annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-08 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and intends to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The areas for simplification in this ASU involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period provided that the entire ASU is adopted. If an entity early adopts the ASU in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”). ASU 2016-10 amends the guidance in ASU 2014-09 about identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. The ASU is effective on adoption of ASU 2014-09.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”). ASU 2016-12 makes narrow-scope amendments to ASU 2014-09 and provides practical expedients to simplify the transition to the new standard and to clarify certain aspects of the standard. The ASU is effective on adoption of ASU 2014-09.
