Accounting Changes
 
In
July 2015,
the F
inancial 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 from continuing operations for the
nine
months ended
September 
30,
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
finalizing its review of the impact of this revenue recognition guidance on its consolidated financial statements. 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 anticipates it will expand its financial statement disclosures to comply with ASU 
2014
-
09.
The Company currently expects to adopt ASU 
2014
-
09
on
January 
1,
2018
using the modified retrospective method.
 
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 generally on a 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, however the Company does
not
anticipate early adoption. The Company continues to evaluate the expected impact of this guidance on disclosures, but does
not
expect a material impact to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
 
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 the service cost component of net benefit cost be presented in the same income statement line as other employee compensation costs, while the other components of net benefit cost are to be presented outside income from operations. ASU 
2017
-
07
will be effective for the Company on a retrospective basis beginning
January 
1,
2018.
The effect of adopting ASU 
2017
-
07
will be the reclassification of the non-service cost components from Cost of sales to Other expense, resulting in an increase to Gross profit and Operating income. There is
no
impact to Income before income taxes or Net income, so therefore
no
impact to Net income per share. Upon adoption, the Company expects a decrease to Cost of sales and an increase to Other expense of
$0.4
 million for the year ended
December 
31,
2016.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption on its results of operations for the year ending
December 
31,
2017.
 
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”
), which better aligns risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships, simplifies hedge accounting requirements, and improves disclosures of hedging arrangements. ASU 
2017
-
12
will be effective for the Company beginning
January 
1,
2019.
Early adoption is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have
not
yet been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
