Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | BASIS OF PRESENTATION General Information Management believes the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary to fairly present the financial position of Stryker Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company," "we," us" or "our") on March 31, 2018 and the results of operations for the three months 2018. The results of operations included in these Consolidated Financial Statements may not necessarily be indicative of our annual results. These statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2017. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Note 10. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted We evaluate all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for consideration of their applicability. ASUs not included in our disclosures were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2017 the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends and simplifies hedge accounting guidance, as well as improves presentation and disclosure to align the economic effects of risk management strategies in the financial statements. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We have performed a preliminary assessment of the impact from this update and do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We are continuing to evaluate the timing of adoption of this update. In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This update requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with terms greater than 12 months. We are in the process of evaluating the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and anticipate most of our current operating leases, as well as some service contracts, will result in the recognition of right to use assets and corresponding lease liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not anticipate adoption of the update will have a material impact on net earnings and cash flows. We have established a project team to lead the review of our lease agreements to assess the impact of the new guidance. We plan to adopt this update on January 1, 2019. Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted On January 1, 2018 we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Refer to Note 2 for further information. On January 1, 2018 we adopted ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which requires companies to account for the income tax effect of intercompany sales and transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Under previous guidance, we deferred the income tax effects of intercompany transfers of assets until the asset had been sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized. We recorded a $695 cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. On January 1, 2018 we adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits, which revises the presentation of the elements of net pension benefit costs. We have retrospectively applied the change in presentation of the non-service cost components of net periodic pension cost by reclassifying these amounts to Other income (expense), net within our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. On January 1, 2018 we adopted ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which revises the guidance related to changes in terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. On January 1, 2018 we adopted ASU 2018-02, Income Statements - Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which was issued in February 2018 and provides guidance allowing for the reclassification of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
