Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] |
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Leases (ASU 2016-02) In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance which updated the accounting for leases in order to increase transparency and comparability of organizations by requiring balance sheet presentation of leased assets and increased financial statement disclosure of leasing arrangements. The new standard requires entities to recognize a liability for their lease obligations and a corresponding right-of-use asset, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. Subsequent accounting depends on whether the agreement is deemed to be a financing or operating lease. For operating leases, a lessee recognizes its total lease expense as an operating expense over the lease term. For financing leases, a lessee recognizes amortization of the right-of-use asset as an operating expense over the lease term separately from interest on the lease liability. The ASU requires that assets and liabilities be presented and disclosed separately and the liabilities must be classified appropriately as current and noncurrent. The ASU further requires additional disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative information related to lease agreements. The ASU was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2019, at which time we adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective approach as of the date of adoption. The Company elected to not reassess certain lease characteristics including whether expired or certain existing contracts contain leases, the lease classification prior to adoption, and initial direct costs. Upon adoption, we recognized a right-of-use asset of $80.0 (net of deferred rent of $3.4 previously included within Accrued liabilities and Other non-current liabilities) and a lease liability of $83.4 related to existing leases of real estate, vehicles, and other equipment that are classified as operating leases, and have terms greater than 12 months. The right-of-use asset is included within Other non-current assets and the lease liabilities are included within Accrued liabilities and Other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. A summary of the impact to our Consolidated Balance Sheet on January 1, 2019 is as follows:
| December 31, 2018 |  | Effect of Change |  | January 1, 2019
Other non-current assets | $ | 196.8 |  |  | $ | 80.0 |  |  | $ | 276.8 |
Accrued liabilities | 416.7 |  |  | 18.7 |  |  | 435.4 |
Other non-current liabilities | 166.5 |  |  | 61.3 |  |  | 227.8 |
Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (ASU 2017-12) In August 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance that simplifies the requirements of hedge accounting. The ASU enables companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance requires the presentation of all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. The adoption did not result in an impact to our financial results since the Company did not have any derivatives outstanding at the time of adoption. Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2018-02) In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance related to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Tax Act), which permits an optional reclassification of residual tax effects that are included within accumulated other comprehensive loss, to retained earnings. The reclassification represents the difference between the amount recorded in other comprehensive loss at the historical U.S. federal tax rate at the time the Tax Act became effective, and the amount that would have been recorded at the newly enacted rate. This guidance became effective during the first quarter of 2019, however we did not elect to make the optional reclassification. Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09) In May 2014, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The new standard was effective for ITT as of January 1, 2018. Most revenue streams are recorded consistently under both the new standard and the previous standard. However, the timing of revenue recognition of certain design and build contracts in our Industrial Process segment, recognized using the percentage of completion method under the previous standard, is now dependent on certain terms within the contract and therefore will vary based on the new guidance. ITT adopted this guidance using a modified retrospective approach. As of the date of adoption, we had recognized $49 of revenue and $5 of operating income on open contracts in our Industrial Process segment using the percentage of completion method that are recognized at a point in time under the new guidance, resulting in a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance in retained earnings of $4, net of tax. The comparative information prior to the adoption has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect in those periods. Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09) In March 2016, the FASB simplified several aspects of the accounting standard for employee share-based payment transactions, including the classification of excess tax benefits and deficiencies and the accounting for employee forfeitures. ITT elected to adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2017 which includes the following:
• | Excess tax benefits and deficiencies are no longer recognized as a change in additional paid-in-capital in the equity section of the Balance Sheet. Instead they are recognized on the Statements of Operations as a tax expense or benefit.
Previously unrecognized tax benefits due to net operating loss carryforwards were recognized during the first quarter of 2017 using a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase retained earnings by $2.1 as of January 1, 2017.
• | The impact of forfeitures are now recognized as they occur as opposed to previously estimating future employee forfeitures. We adopted this provision utilizing a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment reducing retained earnings by $1.1, net of tax, as of January 1, 2017.
• The ASU also provides new guidance in other areas including minimum statutory tax withholding rules and the calculation of diluted common shares outstanding. The adoption of these provisions were reflected prospectively in the financial statements and did not have a material impact.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13) In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance that requires entities to use a current expected credit loss model to measure credit-related impairments for financial instruments held at amortized cost, including trade receivables. The current expected credit loss model is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. Current expected credit losses, and subsequent adjustments, represent an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses that are recorded as an allowance deducted from the amortized cost of the financial instrument. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020 and will be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.
