New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2016

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Balance Sheet Reclassification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this update. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company early adopted ASU 2015-17 on a prospective basis. As such, prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. If ASU 2015-17 were adopted retrospectively, $4.7 million would have been reclassified from “Deferred income taxes – current, net” (current asset) to “Deferred income taxes – non-current” (non-current liability) resulting in a net non-current deferred income tax liability of $0.1 million in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2015.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) – Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction in the carrying value of debt, consistent with debt discounts, instead of being presented in the balance sheet as a deferred charge (i.e., an asset). The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by ASU 2015-03. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) – Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements” (“ASU 2015-15”). ASU 2015-15 addresses the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, which was not addressed in ASU 2015-03. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by ASU 2015-15. The Company retrospectively adopted ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 effective January 1, 2016, which resulted in a reclassification of $1.9 million of debt issuance costs related to our credit facility from “Other non-current assets” to “Bank debt” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2015.

In February 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810) – Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”) which changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The amendments in the standard affect limited partnerships and similar legal entities, evaluating fees paid to a decision maker or a service provider as a variable interest, the effect of fee arrangements on the primary beneficiary determination, the effect of related parties on the primary beneficiary determination, and certain investment funds. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-02, which had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”).  The objective of this amendment applies to 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. The effective date of the amendment is for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2016 and interim periods within that reporting period. We expect to adopt ASU 2016-09 in the fourth quarter of 2016. We expect the adoption of ASU 2016-09 to have an immaterial impact on our number of diluted shares, to decrease our provision for income taxes, and to eliminate the presentation of excess tax benefits as a financing inflow on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Further, we expect to make an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures of share-based compensation awards as they occur. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-09 to have any other material impacts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842) – Amendments to the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification” (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will need to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). For income statements purposes, a dual model was retained, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases). ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements, which we expect will be material to the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”). ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” which was issued in May 2014 and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised 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, by one year for all entities. It will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public companies. Early adoption is permitted but not before annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt ASU 2015-14. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued additional ASUs clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2014-09. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 was not changed by the additional guidance. Although we expect to adopt ASU 2015-14 in fiscal year 2018, we continue to evaluate the impact that adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance for eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
