Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The objective of this update is to simplify 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 standard becomes effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, a modified retrospective approach is required for leases that exist, or are entered into, after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The standard becomes effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740). This update requires businesses to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets on their balance sheets as noncurrent. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, an entity must apply the new guidance either retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements prospectively for all new information on a going forward-basis. We early adopted the standard on a retrospective basis as of December 31, 2015.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. This new standard specifies that the acquirer should recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, eliminating the current requirement to retrospectively account for these adjustments. Additionally, the full effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts should be recognized in the same period as the adjustments to the provisional amounts. The standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted this new standard and there was not a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires companies to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We plan to adopt this new standard and do not currently anticipate a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements, which contains amendments that will affect a wide variety of topics in the codification. The amendments in this update will apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. Transition guidance varies based on the amendments in the update. The amendments in the update that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. All other amendments will be effective upon the issuance of this update. We adopted this new standard and there was not a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. Final guidance on this standard, issued as ASU 2015-15 in August 2015, includes an SEC staff announcement that the SEC staff will not object to an entity presenting the cost of securing a revolving line of credit as an asset, regardless of whether a balance is outstanding. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, an entity must apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We adopted this standard on a retrospective basis effective January 1, 2016 and it resulted in the netting of $9.8 million of deferred financing costs against long-term debt balances on the consolidated balance sheets for the period ended March 31, 2016 and $10.2 million for the period ended December 31, 2015. We continue to record the deferred financing costs related to our revolving credit facility in “other noncurrent assets” on our consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented. There was no impact to the manner in which deferred financing costs are amortized in our consolidated financial statements.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized at the date of initial application. ASU 2014-09 was initially scheduled to be effective for the first quarter of 2017; however, on April 1, 2015, the FASB proposed to defer the effective date by one year and the proposal was accepted during the second quarter of 2015. ASU 2014-09 is now scheduled to be effective for entities beginning after December 15, 2017. We are in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.
