NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements that apply or may apply to our business.

ASC Topic 606

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard on revenue recognition (Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 606) 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. ASC 606 contains a five-step approach that entities will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized, including (i) identifying the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. ASC 606 also requires a number of quantitative and qualitative disclosures intended to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue, and the related cash flows. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective transition approach to all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. The modified retrospective transition approach recognizes any changes as of the beginning of the year of initial application (i.e., as of January 1, 2018) through retained earnings, with no restatement of comparative periods.

The only significant change in revenue recognition as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 relates to our power transformer business. Under ASC 606, revenues for our power transformer business are being recognized over time, while under previous revenue recognition guidance (ASC 605), revenues for power transformers were recognized at a point in time. See Note 4 for further discussion of our revenue recognition principles and the post adoption impact of ASC 606.

Summarized below is the impact of the initial application of ASC 606 on our January 1, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet:

Other Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance that requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases. In addition, this amendment requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018 for public business entities, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted, and adoption must be applied on a modified retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. This amendment provides clarification on eight specific cash flow presentation issues. The issues include, but are not limited to, debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and cash receipts from payments on beneficial interests in securitization transactions. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We adopted this guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2018, with such adoption having no material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-16, which removes the prohibition in ASC 740 against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The requirements of ASU 2016-16 are to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, which entails recognizing the initial effect of adoption in retained earnings. We adopted ASU 2016-16 as of January 1, 2018, which resulted in an increase of our retained deficit of $0.2.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires that an entity recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The impact of this amendment on our consolidated financial statements will depend on the results of future goodwill impairment tests.

In March 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to revise the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost. The amendment requires the service cost component to be presented separately from the other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost. Service cost will be presented with other employee compensation costs within operating income. The other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost, such as interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost/credits, and gains or losses, are required to be separately presented outside of operating income. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with the financial statement presentation requirements of the amendment applied retrospectively. We adopted this guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2018, resulting in non-service pension and postretirement costs being presented outside of operating income within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, we reclassified $1.3 of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost from “Selling, general and administrative expenses” to “Other income (expense), net” within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 1, 2017. See Note 10 for details of our pension and postretirement expense.

In August 2017, the FASB issued significant amendments to hedge accounting. The FASB’s new guidance will make more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. It is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. The amendments can be adopted immediately in any interim or annual period (including the current period). The mandatory effective date for calendar year-end public companies is January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the effect this amendment will have on our consolidated financial statements

In February 2018, the FASB amended its guidance for reporting comprehensive income to reflect the potential impacts of the reduction in the corporate tax rate resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The amendment gives the option of reclassifying the stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings during the fiscal year or quarter in which the effect of the lower tax rate is recorded. The amendment is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018, which resulted in an increase of our retained deficit of $4.8.
