2. Recent Accounting Developments

Accounting Standards Updates Implemented

On January 1, 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 (“Update 2016-09”), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions and had the following impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements:


•	Update 2016-09 requires that all prospective excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies should be recognized as income tax benefits and expense. Additionally, Update 2016-09 requires that we recognize previously unrecognized excess tax benefits using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, we recorded a $1.2 million cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2017.

•

Update 2016-09 allows companies to make an accounting policy election to either estimate forfeitures or account for forfeitures as they occur. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur which we are required to apply on a modified retrospective basis. As a result, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $0.2 million to reverse forfeiture estimates on unvested awards as of January 1, 2017.

•

Update 2016-09 also reflects the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) decision that cash flows related to excess tax benefits should be classified as cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. We adopted this provision on a retrospective basis which resulted in a $0.1 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities and a $0.1 million increase in net cash used in financing activities on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

There were no other material impacts to the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of adoption of Update 2016-09.

On January 1, 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11 which requires us to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. There was no material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.

Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Implemented

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15 (“Update 2016-15”) which addresses diversity in practice and simplifies several elements of cash flow classification, including how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. Update 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Update 2016-15 will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated Update 2016-15 and do not expect a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (“Update 2016-13”) that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. Update 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. Entities will apply Update 2016-13 provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We are currently evaluating the impact of Update 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (“Update 2016-02”) that establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Update 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We are currently evaluating the impact of Update 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

From May 2014 through May 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 and several additional accounting standard updates (the “Revenue Recognition Update”) that outline a single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersede the most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the Revenue Recognition Update is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Revenue Recognition Update also requires disclosures enabling users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Revenue Recognition Update will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within the reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach.

We intend to adopt the Revenue Recognition Update on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which are not complete as of that date. Upon adoption, we will recognize the cumulative effect of adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of our retained earnings.

Under current guidance, contract operations revenue is recognized when earned, which generally occurs monthly when the service is provided under our customer contracts. We anticipate the timing of revenue recognized will be impacted by contractual provisions for service availability guarantees of our compressor assets, re-billable costs associated with moving our compressor assets to a customer site, as well as delayed billings for new agreements. At this time we do not expect these changes to result in a material difference from current practice for contract operations.

We do not expect there to be a material difference in the amount or timing of revenues for sales of aftermarket services parts and components. A significant change is expected related to our aftermarket services operations, maintenance, overhaul and reconfiguration services. Under current guidance, revenue is recognized on a completed contract basis as products are delivered and title is transferred, or services are performed for the customer. Under the new guidance, these services will meet the requirements to be recognized as revenue over time, using output or input methods to measure the progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation based on the nature of the good or service being provided.

The Revenue Recognition Update provides guidance on contract costs that should be recognized as assets and amortized over the period that the related goods or services transfer to the customer. Certain costs such as sales commissions and freight charges to transport compressor assets, currently expensed as incurred, will be deferred and amortized.

We anticipate significant changes to our disclosures based on the requirements prescribed by the Revenue Recognition Update. Additionally, we are currently evaluating our business processes, systems and controls to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the recognition and disclosure requirements under the new revenue guidance. The impacts noted are not all-inclusive, but reflect our current expectations. We are still determining the materiality of the impact for certain of these changes on our consolidated financial statements.
