Significant Accounting Policies |
Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Significant Accounting Policies Except as updated below, the significant accounting policies we use for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note 1 of the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our 2012 10-K Report. Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures where we exercise operational control or have a primary benefit of its profits. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated upon consolidation. Reclassifications Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Goodwill During the first nine months of 2013, we recorded goodwill of $9.6 million in our land segment in connection with two acquisitions completed during the period, which were not material individually or in the aggregate. In addition, based on our ongoing fair value assessment of certain of our 2012 acquisitions, we recorded a $2.0 million reduction in goodwill within our land segment principally due to a $3.3 million increase in identifiable intangible assets, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in other acquired assets and a $0.4 million increase in assumed liabilities. Additionally, we reclassified $6.5 million in goodwill from our land segment to our aviation segment. We had additional goodwill reductions of $0.5 million and $0.3 million as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries in our marine and aviation segments, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward exists. Under this guidance, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. In July 2013, the FASB issued an ASU which includes amendments permitting the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to U.S. Government and London Interbank Offered Rate. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. This update is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Foreign Currency Matters Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Foreign Subsidiaries. In March 2013, the FASB issued an ASU aimed at resolving the diversity in practice of accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this ASU resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Disclosure Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements. In February 2013, the FASB issued an ASU clarifying the guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 and will be applied retrospectively. We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Disclosure Relating to Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In February 2013, the FASB issued an ASU amending the information that companies will be required to present relating to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments require presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and by net income line item. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU resulted in additional derivative disclosures included in Note 2 - Derivatives and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Disclosure About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. In December 2011, the FASB issued an ASU which requires companies to disclose information about financial instruments that have been offset and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Companies will be required to provide both net (offset amounts) and gross information in the notes to the financial statements for relevant assets and liabilities that are offset. In January 2013, the FASB issued an ASU clarifying that the requirement to disclose information about financial instruments that have been offset and related arrangements applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2013 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the Six Months ended June 30, 2013 We identified an incorrect cash flow presentation of $17.7 million related to an acquisition payment that was classified as an operating activity versus an investing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013. We assessed the materiality of this incorrect presentation and concluded it was not material. As prior period financial information is presented in future SEC filings, we will modify the presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows to include this revision.
