Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and the Company will be using the modified retrospective method of adoption.

The Company has conducted a risk assessment and has developed a transition plan that will enable the Company to meet the implementation requirement. Revenue streams and performance obligations include product sales, sales-based royalties and warranties. The Company's contracts also include forms of variable consideration, including rebates (volume, cash and cooperative advertising), trade or other support, free products, slotting fees, and sales returns. Based on the evaluation of the Company's current contracts and the related revenue streams and performance obligations, most will be recorded consistently under both the current and new standard. The majority of the Company's revenue transactions are not accounted for under industry-specific guidance that will be superseded by ASC 606 and generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods.

Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company expects the largest impacts to result from the new qualitative and quantitative disclosures that will be required upon adoption of the new standard. Other anticipated presentation and disclosure changes include the reclassification of royalty income to revenue and changes in the balance sheet classification for sales returns. Under the new standard, the Company will continue to recognize the amount of consideration received or receivable that is expected to be returned as a refund liability, representing the Company's obligation to return the customer’s consideration. The Company will also recognize a return asset (and adjust cost of sales) for the right to recover the goods returned by the customer, which will be subject to impairment assessments. The Company evaluated the impact of the adoption on the classification of cooperative advertising programs and other promotional programs with the Company's customers. The impact of adoption to these promotional programs is not expected to result in material changes in the Company's recognition or presentation of costs within the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, that requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet and provides for expanded disclosures on key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, however early adoption is permitted. In transition, entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine the impact it will have on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Employee Share-Based Payments

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, that simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2017. As a result of the adoption of this ASU:


•	The Company recognized all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company recognized excess tax benefits of $0.3 million and excess tax deficiencies of $0.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.


•	The Company is prospectively presenting these excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as an operating activity on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

•

The Company adopted a change in accounting policy to recognize forfeitures of awards as they occur instead of estimating potential forfeitures. Historically, the Company estimated the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusted the estimate when it was no longer probable that employees would fulfill their service conditions. The effect of this change in accounting policy is not material.

Pensions

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which is accounting guidance that will change how employers who sponsor defined benefit pension and/or postretirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. This guidance requires employers to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same caption within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as other employee compensation costs from services rendered during the period. All other components of the net periodic benefit cost will be presented separately outside of the operating income caption. This guidance must be applied retrospectively and will become effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Adoption of this guidance will result in a reclassification of pension and other postretirement plan non-service income and remeasurement adjustments, net from within operating income to non-operating income.
