New Accounting Pronouncement |
New Accounting Pronouncement | 19. New Accounting Pronouncement Revenue from Contracts with Customers - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which delayed by one year the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard, which will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs - In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." This standard amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge (asset). It is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016, but early adoption is permitted. In the third quarter 2015, the Company has elected to adopt this new guidance. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations for any period. Previously, the Company had classified these debt issuance costs as an asset in “other assets”. Accordingly, the Company has revised the classification to report these debt issuance costs under the “long-term debt” caption on the balance sheet. For the periods ended December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014 the total of debt issuance costs that were previously classified as “other assets” were $15 million and $17 million, respectively. Business Combinations – In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”. This standard allows for the acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting periods in which the adjustment amounts are determined. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company has elected to adopt this new guidance as of the third quarter of 2015.
