Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

Omnicell, Inc. was incorporated in California in 1992 under the name Omnicell Technologies, Inc. and reincorporated in Delaware in 2001 as Omnicell, Inc. The Company's major products are automated medication, supply control systems and medication adherence solutions which are sold in its principal market, which is the healthcare industry. The Company's market is primarily located in the United States,Canada and United Kingdom. "Omnicell" or the "Company" refer to Omnicell, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company's accounts as well as those of its wholly owned subsidiaries after the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.

On April 21, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of Mach4 Automatisierungstechnik GmbH (“Mach4”), a privately held German limited liability company with registered office in Bochum, Germany. On April 30, 2015, the Company acquired the remaining 85% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Avantec Healthcare Limited (“Avantec”) not already held by Omnicell. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Mach4 and Avantec commencing as of their respective acquisition dates.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the Company in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates. The Company's critical accounting policies are those that affect its financial statements materially and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management. Those policies are revenue recognition, share-based compensation, inventory valuation, accounts receivable and notes receivable (net investment in sales-type leases), capitalized software development costs, valuation of goodwill, purchased intangibles and long-lived assets, and accounting for income taxes.

Segment reporting change

The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company modified its segment presentation to reflect the changes in how its CODM reviews the segments and the overall business. With the increase in completed acquisitions in the last two years, the Company changed how the financial information was presented for CODM review to exclude general corporate-level costs that are not specific to either of the reportable segments when evaluating the operating results of each segment. Corporate-level costs include expenses related to executive management, finance and accounting, human resources, legal, training and development, and certain administrative expenses.

The Company's CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of its segments using information about its revenues, gross profit and income from operations, excluding certain costs which are managed separately at the corporate level. The historical segment financial information has been adjusted to reflect the modified segment reporting. See Note 12, Segment and Geographical Information, for addition information on the segment reporting change.

Foreign currency translation

The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenue and expenses for these subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments and included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.

Revenue recognition

The Company earns revenues from sales of our medication and medical and surgical supply automation systems along with consumables and related services, which are sold in the healthcare industry, our principal market. Revenues related to consumable products are reported net of discounts provided to its customers. The Company's customer arrangements typically include one or more of the following deliverables:

Products. Software-enabled equipment that manages and regulates the storage and dispensing of pharmaceuticals, consumable blister cards and packaging equipment and other medical supplies.

Software. Additional software applications that enable incremental functionality of its equipment.

Installation. Installation of equipment as integrated systems at customers' sites.

Post-installation technical support. Phone support, on-site service, parts and access to unspecified software upgrades and enhancements, if and when available.

Professional services. Other customer services, such as training and consulting.

The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, based upon its evaluation of whether the following four criteria have been met:

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. The Company uses signed customer contracts and signed customer purchase orders as evidence of an arrangement for leases and sales. For service engagements, the Company uses a signed services agreement and a statement of work to evidence an arrangement.

Delivery has occurred. Equipment and embedded software product delivery is deemed to occur upon successful installation and receipt of a signed and dated customer confirmation of installation letter, providing evidence that the Company has delivered what a customer ordered. In instances of a customer self-installation, product delivery is deemed to have occurred upon receipt of a signed and dated customer confirmation letter. If a sale does not require installation, the Company recognizes revenue on delivery of products to the customer, including transfer of title and risk of loss, assuming all other revenue criteria are met. For existing distributors, where installation of equipment training has been previously provided and the distributor is certified to install the Company's equipment at the end-user customer facility, the Company recognizes revenue from sales of products to the distributor upon shipment assuming all other revenue criteria are met since it does not allow for rights of return or refund. For new distributors, where the Company has not provided installation of equipment training, revenue on the sales of products to the distributor is deferred until the distributor has completed the Distributor Training Program and has been certified to install the Company's equipment at the end-user facility. For the sale of consumable blister cards, the Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss of the products shipped have transferred to the customer, which usually occurs upon shipment from the Company's facilities. Assuming all other revenue criteria are met, the Company recognizes revenue for support services ratably over the related support services contract period. The Company recognizes revenue on training and professional services as they are performed.

Fee is fixed or determinable. The Company assesses whether a fee is fixed or determinable at the outset of the arrangement based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. The Company has established a history of collecting under the original contract without providing concessions on payments, products or services.

Collection is probable. The Company assesses the probability of collecting from each customer at the outset of the arrangement based on a number of factors, including the customer's payment history and its current creditworthiness. If, in the Company's judgment, collection of a fee is not probable, the Company defers revenue recognition until the uncertainty is removed, which generally means revenue is recognized upon the Company's receipt of cash payment assuming all other revenue criteria are met. The Company's historical experience has been that collection from its customers is generally probable.

In arrangements with multiple deliverables, assuming all other revenue criteria are met, the Company recognizes revenue for individual delivered items if they have value to the customer on a standalone basis. The Company allocates arrangement consideration at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. This method requires the Company to determine the selling price at which each deliverable could be sold if it were sold regularly on a standalone basis. When available, the Company uses vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of the selling price. VSOE represents the price charged for a deliverable when it is sold separately, or for a deliverable not yet being sold separately, the price established by management with the relevant authority. The Company considers VSOE to exist when approximately 80% or more of its standalone sales of an item are priced within a reasonably narrow pricing range (plus or minus 15% of the median rates). The Company has established VSOE of the selling price for its post-installation technical support services and professional services. When VSOE of selling price is not available, third-party evidence ("TPE") of selling price for similar products and services is acceptable; however, the Company's offerings and market strategy differ from those of its competitors, such that it cannot obtain sufficient comparable information about third parties' prices. If neither VSOE nor TPE are available, the Company uses its best estimates of selling prices ("BESP"). The Company determines BESP considering factors such as market conditions, sales channels, internal costs and product margin objectives and pricing practices. The Company regularly reviews and updates its VSOE and BESP information.

The relative selling price method allocates total arrangement consideration proportionally to each deliverable on the basis of its estimated selling price. In addition, the amount recognized for any delivered items cannot exceed that which is not contingent upon delivery of any remaining items in the arrangement.

The Company also uses the residual method to allocate revenue between the software products that enable incremental equipment functionality, and thus are not deemed to deliver its essential functionality, and the related post-installation technical support, as these products and services continue to be accounted for under software revenue recognition rules. Under the residual method, the amount allocated to the undelivered elements equals VSOE of fair value of these elements. Any remaining amounts are attributed to the delivered items and are recognized when those items are delivered.

A portion of the Company's sales are made through multi-year lease agreements. Under sales-type leases, the Company recognizes revenue for its hardware and software products net of lease execution costs such as post-installation product maintenance and technical support, at the net present value of the lease payment stream once its installation obligations have been met. The Company optimizes cash flows by selling a majority of its non-U.S. government leases to third-party leasing finance companies on a non-recourse basis. The Company has no obligation to the leasing company once the lease has been sold. Some of the Company's sales-type leases, mostly those relating to U.S. government hospitals which comprise approximately 75% of the lease receivable balance, are retained in-house. Interest income in these leases is recognized in product revenue using the effective interest method.

Financial Instruments

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, such amounts are based on an expected exit price representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs used in valuation techniques are assigned a hierarchical level. The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate that value:

Cash equivalents. The Company classifies investments as cash equivalents if their original or remaining contractual maturity is three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash equivalents are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. The Company's cash equivalents are maintained in demand deposit accounts with financial institutions of high credit quality, and are invested in institutional money market funds, short-term bank time deposits and similar short duration instruments with fixed maturities. The Company continuously monitors the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and institutional money market funds in which it invests. The Company has not experienced any credit losses from its cash investments.

Foreign currency forward contracts. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to protect its business from the risk that exchange rates may affect the eventual cash flows resulting from intercompany transactions between Omnicell and its foreign subsidiaries. These transactions primarily arise as a result of products manufactured in the United States ("U.S") and sold to foreign subsidiaries in U.S. dollars rather than the subsidiaries' functional currencies. These forward contracts are considered to be financial derivative instruments and are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair values of these financial derivative instruments are either recognized in other comprehensive income or net income depending on whether the derivative has been designated and qualifies as a hedging instrument.

Debt. The Company has a Credit Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2013 comprised of a $75 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility would be recognized at cost plus accrued interest based upon stated interest rates. The Company had not drawn any funds under the credit facility as of December 31, 2015.

Accounts receivable and notes receivable (net investment in sales-type leases)

The Company actively manages its accounts receivable to minimize credit risk. The Company typically sells to customers for which there is a history of successful collection. New customers are subject to a credit review process, which evaluates that customer's financial position and ability to pay. The Company continually monitors and evaluates the collectability of its trade receivables based on a combination of factors. The Company records specific allowances for doubtful accounts when it becomes aware of a specific customer's impaired ability to meet its financial obligation to the Company, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration of financial position. There were no significant customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Uncollectible amounts are charged off against trade receivables and the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company makes a final determination that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Estimates are used in determining the Company's allowances for all other customers based on factors such as current trends, the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience. While the Company believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts receivable is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, such estimated amounts could differ materially from what will actually be uncollectible in the future.

The retained in-house leases discussed above are considered financing receivables. The Company's credit policies and its evaluation of credit risk and write-off policies are applied alike to trade receivables and the net investment in sales-type leases. For both, an account is generally past due after thirty days. The financing receivables also have customer-specific reserves for accounts identified for specific impairment and a non-specific reserve applied to the remaining population, based on factors such as current trends, the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience. The retained in-house leases are not stratified by portfolio or class.

Sales of accounts receivable

The Company records the sale of its accounts receivables as "true sales" in accordance with accounting guidance for transfers and servicing of financial assets. The Company transferred non-recourse accounts receivable totaling $38.6 million, $62.0 million and $41.3 million during fiscal year 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively, which approximated fair value, to leasing companies on a non-recourse basis. Accounts receivable included approximately $0.8 million, $1.1 million and $0.1 million due from third-party leasing companies for transferred non-recourse accounts receivable as of December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (utilizing standard costs, applying the first-in, first-out method) or market. Cost elements included in inventory are direct labor and materials plus applied overhead. The Company routinely assesses on-hand inventory for timely identification and measurement of obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise impaired inventory. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence, excess or unmarketable quantities equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than the Company projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

The Company has a supply agreement with one primary supplier for construction and supply of several sub-assemblies and inventory management of sub-assemblies used in our hardware products. There are no minimum purchase requirements. The contract with the Company's supplier may be terminated by either the supplier or by the Company without cause and at any time upon delivery of two months' notice. Purchases from this supplier were $41.7 million, $34.5 million and $29.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment less accumulated depreciation are stated at historical cost. The Company's expenditures for property and equipment primarily are for computer equipment and software used in the administration of its business, and for leasehold improvements to its leased facilities. The Company also develops molds and dies used in long-term manufacturing arrangements with suppliers and for production automation equipment used in the manufacturing of consumable blister card components. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, as follows:



Computer equipment and related software	3 - 5 years
Leasehold and building improvements	Shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life
Furniture and fixtures	5 - 7 years
Equipment	3 - 12 years

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment was $12.8 million, $11.3 million and $10.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company capitalizes costs related to computer software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. Software obtained for internal use has generally been enterprise-level business and finance software that the Company customizes to meet its specific operational needs. Costs incurred in the application development phase are capitalized and amortized over their useful lives, which is generally five years. Costs recognized in the preliminary project phase and the post-implementation phase are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalized $1.2 million and $3.9 million of costs related to the application development of enterprise-level software that was included in property and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Software development costs

The Company capitalizes software development costs in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, under which certain software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility may be capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the related products. The Company establishes feasibility when it completes a working model and amortizes development costs over the estimated lives of the related products ranging from three to five years. The Company capitalized software development costs of $12.1 million and $10.4 million which are included in other assets as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company recorded $5.8 million, $4.4 million and $3.2 million to cost of revenues for amortization of capitalized software development costs for the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. All development costs prior to the completion of a working model are recognized as research and development expense.

Deferred gross profit and deferred service revenue

Deferred gross profit and deferred service revenue arise when customers have been billed and/or have received products and/or services in advance of revenue recognition. The Company's deferred gross profit, classified as a current liability, consists primarily of unearned revenue on sale of equipment for which installation has not been completed, net of deferred cost of sales for such equipment, and the unearned revenue for software licenses. The Company's deferred service revenue, separated into current and long-term liabilities, consists of the unearned portion of service contracts for which revenue is recognized over their duration.

Business combinations

The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting under the authoritative guidance on business combinations. Each acquired company’s operating results are included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements starting on the date of acquisition. The purchase price is equivalent to the fair value of consideration transferred. Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition are recorded at the acquisition date fair value. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Amounts allocated to assets and liabilities are based upon fair values. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to the identifiable intangible assets. Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable and that of a market participant. These estimates are based on historical experience and information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and the estimates are inherently uncertain. The separately identifiable intangible assets generally include customer relationships, technology, and trade names.

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on the first day of the fourth quarter of each year at the reporting unit level. The Company's reporting units are the same as its operating segments, which are Automation and Analytics and Medication Adherence. A qualitative assessment is initially made to determine whether it is necessary to perform quantitative testing. This initial assessment includes, among others, consideration of: (i) past, current and projected future earnings and equity; (ii) recent trends and market conditions; and (iii) valuation metrics involving similar companies that are publicly-traded and acquisitions of similar companies, if available. If this initial qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that impairment exists, or if the Company decides to bypass this option, it proceeds to a two-step impairment test. The first step ("Step 1") involves a comparison between the estimated fair values of the Company's reporting units with their respective carrying amounts including goodwill. The methods for estimating reporting unit values include asset and liability fair values and other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flows and multiples of earnings or revenues. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment, and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment. The second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting units over the aggregate estimated fair values of the individual assets less liabilities. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess.

To determine each reporting unit's fair value in the second step, the Company uses the income approach which is based on the estimated discounted future cash flows of that reporting unit. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit under the income approach is corroborated with the market approach, which measures the value of a business through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of a comparable entity. The Company also considers its market capitalization on the date of the analysis to ensure the reasonableness of the sum of its reporting units’ estimated fair value.

Intangible assets. In connection with the Company's acquisitions, it generally recognizes assets for customer relationships, technology and trade names. Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Such amortization is provided on a straight-line basis or on an accelerated basis based on a pattern of economic benefit that is expected to be obtained over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally from 1 to 30 years. Amortization for technology is recognized in cost of product revenues, and amortization for customer relationships and trade names is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset is measured by the comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted estimated future cash flows the asset is expected to generate, offset by estimated future costs to dispose of the product to which the asset relates. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of such impairment would be measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value. The Company's cash flow assumptions are based on historical and forecasted future revenue, operating costs, and other relevant factors. Assumptions and estimates about the remaining useful lives of the Company's intangible assets are subjective and are affected by changes to its business strategies. If management’s estimates of future operating results change, or if there are changes to other assumptions, the estimate of the fair value of the Company's assets could change significantly. Such change could result in impairment charges in future periods, which could have a significant impact on the Company's operating results and financial condition.

Valuation of share-based awards

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). The Company recognizes compensation expense related to stock-based compensation, including the awarding of employee stock awards and restricted stock units, based on the grant date estimated fair value. The Company amortizes the fair value of the employee stock awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the following inputs: expected life, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield rate, exercise price, and closing price of its common stock on the date of grant. The expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility, and the expected life of the awards is based on the Company's historical experience of employee stock option exercises, including forfeitures. The valuation assumptions we use in estimating the fair value of employee share-based awards may change in future periods. The Company calculates its pool of excess tax benefits available within additional paid-in capital in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.

Accounting for income taxes

The Company records an income tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the periods in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. In the event that these tax rates change, the Company will incur a benefit or detriment on its income tax expense in the period of change. If the Company were to determine that all or part of the net deferred tax assets are not realizable in the future, it will record a valuation allowance that would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made.

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of U.S. GAAP and complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with management’s expectations could have a material impact on our financial condition and operating results.

Advertising expense

Costs related to advertising and promotion of products are charged to sales and marketing expense as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $0.7 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 millionfor the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Commissions

Sales commissions are incremental and directly related to customer sales contracts in which revenue is deferred. These commission costs are accrued and recorded in prepaid expenses upon execution of a non-cancelable customer contract and subsequently expensed in the period of revenue recognition.

Shipping costs

Outbound freight billed to customers is recorded as product revenue. The related shipping and handling costs are expensed as part of selling, general and administrative expense. Shipping and handling expenses were $8.5 million, $7.4 million and $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Recently adopted accounting standards

During November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes ("ASU 2015-17"). ASU 2015-17 requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company early adopted ASU 2015-17 effective December 31, 2015 on a prospective basis. Adoption of ASU 2015-17 resulted in a reclassification of the Company's net current deferred tax assets of $12.5 million to the net non-current deferred tax liabilities in its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015.

Recently issued authoritative guidance

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). Under the new guidance, an entity is required to recognize an amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The original effective date for the ASU would have required the Company to adopt the standard beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2017. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. Accordingly, the Company may adopt the standard in its first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The new revenue guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments ("ASU 2015-16"). This ASU requires adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period of a business combination to be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Acquirer are no longer required to revise comparative information for prior periods as if the accounting for the business combination had been completed as of the acquisition date. The provisions of ASU 2015-16 are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-16 on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The FASB amended lease accounting requirements to begin recording assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows from leases. This new guidance will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

There was no other recently issued authoritative guidance that has a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements through the reporting date.
