Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance regarding leases, requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but will be updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating, direct financing or sales-type leases. The effective date of the new guidance for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company.

In March 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, which is intended to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this update do not change the core principle of the guidance, but are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by including indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, which is intended to clarify guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in the new revenue recognition standard. In May 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, which is intended to provide narrow scope guidance and practical expedients contained in the new revenue standard. In December 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue from contracts with customers for technical corrections and improvements on narrow aspects within the original and amended guidance. The amendments in these updates are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has developed an inventory of all U.S. revenue streams and has begun to assess the implications of adopting the new five step revenue model and reviewing key contracts. The Company will begin assessing foreign revenue streams once the U.S. review is finalized.

In March 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on stock compensation which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of applicable income tax consequences on the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires recognition of excess tax benefits and shortfalls (resulting from an increase or decrease in the fair value of an award from grant date to the vesting date) in the provision for income taxes as a discrete item in the quarterly period in which they occur. Excess tax benefits and shortfalls are recognized in equity. In addition, these amounts will be classified as an operating activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows instead of as a financing activity. For fiscal 2014 to 2015, the Company recognized net excess tax shortfalls in equity of approximately $788 to $932, respectively. For fiscal 2016, the Company recognized net excess tax benefits in equity of approximately $327. These amounts may not necessarily be indicative of future amounts that may be recognized subsequent to the adoption of this new standard, as any excess tax benefits or shortfalls recognized would be dependent on future stock prices, employee exercise behavior and applicable tax rates. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2017 and early adoption is permitted.

In August 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance on the statement of cash flows presentation of certain transactions where diversity in practice exists. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance to assist Companies with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This guidance is effective for the Company in the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early application permitted provided that the transaction date is prior to the issuance or effective date of this amendment and provided the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. This guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company.
