Notes to Financial Statements
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	1 1 . Recent Accounting and Reporting Developments There have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, from those disclosed in the Company’s 2016 Form  10 -K, except for the following: Accounting Changes In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No.  2015 - 11, “Inventory (Topic  330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU  2015 - 11”). As a result of ASU  2015 - 11, companies are required to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This is a change from the prior requirement to value inventory at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Inventory valued using the last-in, first -out or retail inventory method is exempt from ASU 2015 - 11. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January   1, 2017 and the impact was not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 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 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. As a result of the adoption of this guidance on January   1, 2017, on a prospective basis, the Company recognized $0.8 million of excess tax deficiencies from share-based compensation in Income tax benefit for the three months ended March   31, 2017. Historically, these amounts were recorded as Additional paid-in capital. Recent Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.  2014 - 09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic  606)” (“ASU  2014 - 09”) which will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The core principle of ASU 2014 - 09 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. ASU  2014 - 09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. ASU  2014 - 09 will be effective for the Company beginning January   1, 2018, including interim periods in 2018, and allows for both retrospective and prospective methods of adoption. During 2016 and 2017, the FASB issued several ASUs that clarify the implementation guidance for ASU  2014 - 09 but do not change the core principle of the guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this revenue recognition guidance on its consolidated financial statements, including which of the alternative application approaches available under the standard will be utilized for its adoption. To date, the Company has examined its revenue streams, and does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2014 - 09 will have a material impact on its revenue recognition patterns as compared to revenue recognition under the existing revenue guidance, as the Company expects that revenues generated will continue to be recognized over time utilizing the percent-complete measure of progress consistent with current practice. The Company will continue to evaluate the impacts of ASU 2014 - 09 through the date of adoption to ensure that its preliminary conclusions continue to remain accurate. Additionally, the Company is continuing its assessment of ASU 2014 - 09’s impact on its financial statement disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.  2016 - 02, “Leases (Topic  842)” (“ASU  2016 - 02”). ASU  2016 - 02 makes changes to U.S. GAAP, requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases previously classified as operating leases. For operating leases, the lease asset and lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments in the balance sheet. The cost of the lease is then allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. All cash payments will be classified within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For financing leases, the lease asset and lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments in the balance sheet. Interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from amortization of the lease asset in the statement of comprehensive income. In the statement of cash flows, repayments of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified within financing activities, and payments of interest on the lease liability and variable payments will be classified within operating activities. For leases with terms of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by asset class not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lease expense for such leases will be generally recognized straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from previous U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016 - 02 requires qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures and will be effective for the Company beginning January   1, 2019, including interim periods in 2019. ASU  2016 - 02 provides for a transitional adoption, with lessees and lessors required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect a material impact to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows from adoption of this guidance. In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.  2017 - 07, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic  715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU  2017 - 07”), which requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. ASU  2017 - 07 requires other components of net benefit cost to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. ASU  2017 - 07 allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization, when applicable. ASU  2017 - 07 will be effective for the Company beginning January   1, 2018, including interim periods in 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU  2017 - 07 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
