Segment Reporting | During the first quarter of 2019, we implemented a realignment of our reportable segment structure. The new reportable segments continue to provide a transparent view into Roper’s operations and capital deployment objectives. The Company’s new reporting segment structure reinforces Roper’s diversified, niche market strategy by reporting based upon business models instead of end markets. The four new reportable segments (and businesses within each - including acquisitions since the realignment) are as follows:
– | Application Software - Aderant, CBORD, CliniSys, Data Innovations, Deltek, Horizon, IntelliTrans, PowerPlan, Strata, Sunquest
– | Network Software & Systems - ConstructConnect, DAT, Foundry, Inovonics, iTradeNetwork, Link Logistics, MHA, RF IDeas, SHP, SoftWriters, TransCore
– | Measurement & Analytical Solutions - Alpha, CIVCO Medical Solutions, CIVCO Radiotherapy, Dynisco, FMI, Gatan, Hansen, Hardy, IPA, Logitech, Neptune, Northern Digital, Struers, Technolog, Uson, Verathon
– | Process Technologies - AMOT, CCC, Cornell, FTI, Metrix, PAC, Roper Pump, Viatran, Zetec
The day-to-day operations of our businesses, our organizational structure, and our strategy remain unchanged. All prior periods have been recast to reflect the changes noted above.
Leases | The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the cumulative effect transition method for leases in existence as of the date of adoption. The reported results for 2019 reflect the application of ASC 842 guidance while the reported results for 2018 were prepared under the previous guidance of ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”). The adoption of ASC 842 represents a change in accounting principle that recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities arising from all leases based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term. Consistent with ASC 840, lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s adoption of ASC 842 had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings or our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842, which allowed us: (i) to carry forward the historical lease classification, (ii) not to reassess whether any existing contract contains a lease, and (iii) not to reassess initial direct costs for existing leases. Operating leases are classified as non-current operating lease ROU assets and current and non-current operating lease liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance leases are not material.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | The FASB establishes changes to accounting principles under GAAP in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the ASC. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Any recent ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 842, which included the recognition of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and the disclosure of other key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the cumulative effect transition method for leases in existence as of the date of adoption. See Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606, which created a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method resulting in a $14.3 increase to beginning retained earnings. Recently Released Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued an update which amends the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This update is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on its results of operations and financial condition.
