Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed) that management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
Effective January 1, 2018 the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update Topic (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” using the modified retrospective method. Under the modified retrospective method, the impact of applying the standard is recognized as a cumulative effect on retained earnings. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Certain of the Company’s nonpublic unconsolidated joint ventures have not yet adopted Topic 606 and therefore the Company’s share of earnings as report in equity in net income of non-consolidated affiliates continues to be reported under historical revenue accounting standards. The Company does not expect the adoption of Topic 606 by its nonpublic non-consolidated affiliates on January 1, 2019 to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position. For additional information, refer to Note 17 "Revenue Recognition" to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments." The ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the diversity in practice in how certain transactions were classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance on a retrospective basis on January 1, 2018 and accordingly, previously issued operating cash flows decreased by $1 million and cash flows from financing activities increased by $1 million for the six months ending June 30, 2017.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,” which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company's adoption of this standard on January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update ASU 2016-18, "Restricted Cash," requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Retrospective application is required. The Company adopted the guidance on a retrospective basis on January 1, 2018 and accordingly, included restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost." The ASU requires entities to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Entities will present the other components separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, and disclose the line(s) used to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost, if the components are not presented separately in the income statement. The standard will be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the components of pension financing costs in the income statement, and prospectively for the guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company previously recorded service cost with other compensation costs (benefits) in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Adoption of the standard results in the reclassification of other compensation costs (benefits) in other income, net. The Company's retrospective adoption of this standard on January 1, 2018 resulted in a $1 million and $3 million increase to cost of sales, and a $1 million and $2 million increase to selling, general and administrative expenses, with a corresponding $2 million and $5 million increase in other income, net, with no impact to net income for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2017.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." The ASU amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements, provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. The new guidance will allow companies to make certain changes to awards without accounting for them as modifications. It does not change the accounting for modifications. The new guidance will be applied prospectively to awards changed on or after the adoption date. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company's adoption of this standard on January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2018 the Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" which was created to better align accounting rules with a company’s risk management activities to reflect the economic results of hedging in the financial statements and simplify hedge accounting treatment. The modified retrospective adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. For additional information, refer to Note 15 "Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments" to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The guidance requires that for most financial assets, losses be based on an expected loss approach which includes estimates of losses over the life of exposure that considers historical, current and forecasted information. Expanded disclosures related to the methods used to estimate the losses as well as a specific disaggregation of balances for financial assets are also required. The change is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect application of this accounting standards update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The amendments in Topic 842 supersede current lease requirements in Topic 840 which require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the financial statements and disclosures, internal controls and accounting policies. This evaluation process includes reviewing all forms of leases and performing a completeness assessment over the lease population. The company has analyzed the practical expedients to determine the best path for applying the leasing standard and elected all available practical expedients, except for the hindsight expedient, which allows the use of hindsight in determining the lease term. The Company completed its system implementation evaluation during the second quarter of 2018, and concluded that a third party supported lease accounting information system solution will be implemented to account for the Company's leases. The Company has launched a project to implement this system, establish a new lease accounting process and design related internal controls. While the Company's evaluation is ongoing, the impact on existing processes, controls, information systems and the consolidated financial statements is expected to be material.
