Accounting Standards Update
In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20), Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (“ASU No. 2015-01”). ASU No. 2015-01 eliminates from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America the concept of extraordinary items to simplify income statement presentation. Under the guidance an entity will no longer be able to segregate an extraordinary item from the results of operations, separately present an extraordinary item on the income statement, or disclose income taxes or earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. The ASU is effective for all entities for reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU No. 2015-03 requires that deferred loan costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt, consistent with debt discounts. The Company retrospectively adopted this new standard in 2015 (see "Note 6. Long-Term Debt)."

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”). ASU No. 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The acquirer must record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting has been completed at the acquisition date. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption this standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU No. 2015-17 requires that deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities be presented as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The Company adopted this new guidance as of December 31, 2015, and it is applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Adoption resulted in a $15.7 million decrease in deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities, and a decrease of $3.3 million current assets of discontinued operations and long-term liabilities of discontinued operations in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014. Adoption had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, see "Note 9. Income Taxes."
