During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03 (refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as a deferred financing cost assets. The Company applied this guidance for all of its credit facilities with the exception of the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and the revolving credit facility portion of the $148 Million Credit Facility, which represent revolving credit agreements which are not addressed in ASU 2015-03. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2016, $8,883 of deferred financing costs were presented as a direct deduction within the outstanding debt balance in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Furthermore, the Company reclassified $9,411 of deferred financing costs from Deferred Financing Costs, net to the Current Portion of Long-Term Debt as of December 31, 2015. Refer to Note 8 — Debt for further information. Amortization expense for deferred financing costs, including the deferred financing costs recognized net of the outstanding debt, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $729 and $487, respectively. This amortization expense is recorded as a component of Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
