Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements | 1.Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Coca‑Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal, recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented:
| • | The financial position as of October 1, 2017 and January 1, 2017.
| • | The results of operations and comprehensive income for the 13 week periods ended October 1, 2017 (“third quarter” of fiscal 2017 (“2017”)) and October 2, 2016 (“third quarter” of fiscal 2016 (“2016”)), and the 39 week periods ended October 1, 2017 (“first three quarters” of 2017) and October 2, 2016 (“first three quarters” of 2016).
| • | The changes in equity and cash flows for the first three quarters of 2017 and the first three quarters of 2016.
The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis. These policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated condensed financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant Accounting Policies In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of its consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10‑K for 2016 under the caption “Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements” in Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” a discussion of the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company did not make changes in any significant accounting policies during the third quarter of 2017. Any changes in critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company during the quarter in which a change is contemplated and prior to making such change. Recently Adopted Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017 and there was no impact to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11 “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” The new guidance requires an entity to measure most inventory “at lower of cost and net realizable value” thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017 and there was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. Recently Issued Pronouncements In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount. Under the new guidance, entities should instead perform annual or interim goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the respective reporting unit. The new guidance is effective for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated condensed financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 “Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The impact to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements will depend on the facts and circumstances of any specific future transactions. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases,” which requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases (other than leases meeting the definition of a short-term lease). The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods beginning the following fiscal year. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. Additionally, the Company is evaluating the impacts of the standard beyond accounting, including system, data and process changes required to comply with the standard. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which revises the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes in financial liabilities measured at fair value. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. Over the past several years, the FASB has issued several accounting standards for revenue recognition:
| • | ASU 2014‑09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” was issued in May 2014, which was originally going to be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016.
| • | ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” was issued in August 2015, which deferred the effective date to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017.
| • | ASU 2016-08 “Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net)” was issued in March 2016, which amended certain aspects of ASU 2014‑09.
| • | ASU 2016-11 “Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting” was issued in May 2016, which amended certain aspects of ASU 2014‑09.
| • | ASU 2016-12 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” was issued in May 2016, which amended certain aspects of ASU 2014‑09.
| • | ASU 2016-20 “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” was issued in December 2016, which clarified the new revenue standard and corrected unintended application of the guidance.
The Company does not plan to early adopt this guidance and is in the process of determining whether to adopt a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. The Company has started its assessment of the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements by identifying and performing detailed walkthroughs of key revenue streams, including high level contract review. The Company will continue its assessment with detailed contract reviews for all revenue streams in order to evaluate revenue recognition requirements and prepare an implementation work plan. Based on the Company’s current assessment, it does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. As the Company completes its overall assessment, the Company will identify and prepare to implement changes to its accounting policies and practices, business processes, systems and controls to support the new revenue recognition and disclosure requirements.
