Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This ASU is based on the core principle that an entity should 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. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine the Company's adoption method and the impact it will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest- Imputation of Interest- 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 reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and must be adopted retrospectively; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt this ASU as of December 31, 2015, and as a result debt issuance costs of $24.8 million are reducing the carrying amounts of the Company’s long-term debt. As required under the ASU, this adoption resulted in the reclassification of $37.6 million of debt issuance costs included in other non-current assets to long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014.
    
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires companies to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet, rather than separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts.  This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and can be adopted prospectively or retrospectively; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt this ASU as of December 31, 2015 on a retrospective basis. As required under this ASU, this adoption resulted in the reclassification of $2.2 million current deferred income tax assets to noncurrent deferred income tax assets and $0.2 million current deferred income tax liabilities to noncurrent deferred income tax liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014.
