Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued accounting standards update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which amends the accounting guidance related to revenues. This amendment will replace most of the existing revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective. The new standard, as amended in July 2015, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and entities are allowed to adopt the standard as early as annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.

We have evaluated the effect of this amendment and expect the timing of our revenue recognition to generally remain the same, except as detailed below:


•	A portion of the transaction price related to sales of finance and insurance contracts is considered variable consideration and subject to accelerated recognition under the new standard. Upon adoption, we will recognize an asset associated with future estimated variable consideration and do not believe there will be a significant impact to future revenue recognized.


•	The guidance provided clarification on how to determine and capitalize direct costs incurred. As a result, we reassessed the method used to capitalize and amortize direct cost associated with the sale of lifetime oil, lube and filter contracts.

Upon adoption, we plan to record a net, after-tax cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings which will have an immaterial impact on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard results in the recording of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. We intend to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019. While management is still evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of this ASU, we expect that it will have a material impact due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities due to real estate leases. We continue to identify and evaluate if there are other leases impacted. The majority of our real estate leases are classified as operating leases under the current guidance. We expect ASU 2016-02 to impact our consolidated balance sheets primarily due to the recognition of a right-of-use asset and an associated lease liability and our consolidated income statement related to the changes in expense recognition.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU 2016-15 provides guidance for eight cash flow classification issues to reduce diversity in practice. The clarification includes guidance on items such as debt prepayment or debt extinguishment cost, contingent consideration payment made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies and distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the effect this pronouncement will have on our financial disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. An entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, if applicable. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The same impairment test also applies to any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
