Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has considered the recent Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") summarized below, which could significantly impact its financial statements:



Standards Pending Adoption	Description	Effective Date	Anticipated Impact
ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ⁽¹⁾	The standard simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment awards to employees and includes provisions related to income taxes, the liability or equity classification of share-based payment awards and statement of cash flows presentation. The income tax related provisions of this update are expected to significantly impact the Company and must be adopted through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period in which the update is adopted.	January 1, 2017	As of December 31, 2015, the Company had tax benefits related to share-based payment awards of $45.4 million, recorded as a reduction to long-term deferred tax assets, and $3.9 million, recorded in additional paid-in-capital. Adoption of this update would result in the elimination of such amounts from other long-term assets and additional paid-in-capital, with a corresponding $49.3 million increase to retained earnings.
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ⁽²⁾	The standard replaces existing revenue recognition guidance and requires additional financial statement disclosures. The provisions of these updates may be applied through either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach.	January 1, 2018	The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these updates.
ASU 2016-02, Leases	The standard requires that a lessee recognize on its balance sheet right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities resulting from leasing transactions, as well as additional financial statement disclosures. Currently, U.S. GAAP only requires such balance sheet recognition for leases classified as capital leases. The provisions of this update apply to substantially all leased assets, with certain permitted exceptions, and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach.	January 1, 2019	The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update. For additional information on the Company’s operating lease commitments, see Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

⁽¹⁾ Early adoption permitted.

⁽²⁾ Along with four subsequent ASUs amending and clarifying ASU 2014-09:

ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date"

ASU 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)"

ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing"

ASU 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients"

The Company has considered the recent ASUs summarized below, none of which are expected to significantly impact its financial statements:



Standard	Description	Effective Date
ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern	The standard requires management to make a going concern assessment for 24 months after the financial statement date. Previously, this assessment was made by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.	December 31, 2016
ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory	The standard requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than at the lower of cost or market.	January 1, 2017
ASU 2016-05, Effects of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships and ASU 2016-06, Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments.	The standards provide clarification when there is a change in a counterparty to a derivative hedging instrument and the steps required when assessing the economic characteristics of embedded put or call options.	January 1, 2017
ASU 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to Equity Method of Accounting	The standard eliminates the retroactive application when investments become qualified for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence.	January 1, 2017
ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities	The standard requires equity investments and other ownership interests in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value through earnings. A practicability exception exists for equity investments without readily determinable fair values.	January 1, 2018
ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments	The standard addresses the classification of cash flows related to various transactions, including debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, contingent consideration and proceeds from insurance claims.	January 1, 2018
ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	The standard changes the impairment model for most financial instruments to an "expected loss" model. The new model will generally result in earlier recognition of credit losses.	January 1, 2020

The Company has adopted the ASUs summarized below in 2016. The effects of adoption did not significantly impact its financial statements:
