Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements and these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017, as amended ("Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017"). We made no material changes in the application of our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2018-02"). ASU 2018-02 gives entities the option to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects ("stranded tax effects") caused by the newly-enacted US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The update also requires new disclosures, some of which are applicable for all entities. The guidance in ASU 2018-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently considering whether to adopt the optional reclassification of the stranded tax effects and evaluating the effect that implementation of this update will have upon adoption on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"). ASU 2017-12 intends to better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The guidance in ASU 2017-12 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that implementation of this update will have upon adoption on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09"), which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment awards. The guidance in ASU 2017-09 provides that modification accounting is required only if a change in the terms or conditions of an award results in a change to the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award as equity or liability. The guidance in ASU 2017-09 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this update on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 amends Topic 350 to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This update requires the performance of an annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance in ASU 2017-04 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently considering whether to adopt this update prior to the required adoption date. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 is intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The standard requires, on a prospective basis, the recognition of all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax benefit or expense in the statement of operations and the tax effect of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. The excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies should not be considered in an entity's calculation of its annual estimated effective tax rate and, as excess tax benefits are no longer recognized in additional paid-in capital, the assumed proceeds from applying the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share should exclude such excess tax benefits. Further, on either a prospective or retrospective basis, excess tax benefits should be classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The standard also provides entities the option to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest (current GAAP) or account for forfeitures when they occur, which is to be applied in accordance with a modified retrospective transition. Additionally, the standard updates the threshold to qualify for equity classification for minimum statutory tax withholding requirements by permitting an entity to withhold up to the maximum statutory rates in the applicable jurisdictions, applied on a modified retrospective basis. Finally, the standard requires that cash paid by an employer to a taxing authority when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows, applied retrospectively. We adopted this standard at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 and elected to classify excess tax benefits as operating activities on a prospective basis in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. As such, the prior period condensed consolidated statement of cash flows was not adjusted. We also elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $0.6 million to retained earnings during the period of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets, recognizing a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The guidance in ASU 2016-02 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We currently expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subject to the update and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption. However, we are currently evaluating the effect that implementation of this update will have upon adoption on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance provided in Topic 606 requires entities to use a five-step model to recognize revenue by allocating the consideration from contracts to performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The standard also requires new disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This new guidance was initially effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption was not permitted. However, in July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of this ASU by one year for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date. As a result, the effective date for the Company will be December 1, 2018. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance. The Company currently plans to adopt this ASU in accordance with the full retrospective approach, effective December 1, 2018. Fiscal year 2019 quarterly results, and comparative prior periods, will be prepared in accordance with ASC Topic 606. The first Annual Report on Form 10-K issued in accordance with ASC Topic 606 will be for the period ended November 30, 2019. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but anticipates that the revenue recognition related to accounting for the following transactions will be most impacted:
• | Revenue from term licenses with extended payment terms over the term of the agreement within our Data Connectivity and Integration segment - These transactions are typically recognized when the amounts are billed to the customer under current revenue recognition guidance. In accordance with ASU 2014-09, revenue from term license performance obligations is expected to be recognized upon delivery and revenue from maintenance performance obligations is expected to be recognized over the contract term. To the extent the Company enters into future term licenses with extended payment terms after the adoption of ASU 2014-09, revenue from term licenses with extended payment terms will be recognized prior to the customer being billed and the Company will recognize a net contract asset on the balance sheet. Accordingly, license revenue will be accelerated under ASU 2014-09 as the Company currently does not recognize revenue until the amounts have been billed to the customer.
• | Revenue from transactions with multiple elements within our Application Development and Deployment segment (i.e., sales of perpetual licenses with maintenance and/or support) - These transactions are currently recognized ratably over the associated maintenance period as the Company does not have vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") for maintenance or support. Under ASU 2014-09, the requirement to have VSOE for undelivered elements that exists under current guidance is eliminated. Accordingly, the Company will recognize a portion of the sales price as revenue upon delivery of the license instead of recognizing the entire sales price ratably over the maintenance period.
