| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Basis of accounting, policy | We prepare our condensed combined consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses reported as of and during the periods presented. |
| New accounting pronouncement, policy | NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND DISCLOSURES REVENUE RECOGNITION. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, given the FASB’s recent deferral of ASU 2014-09’s effective date. Entities may choose to early adopt ASU 2014-09 as of the original effective date. The standard allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our financial statements and related disclosures. Based on our initial evaluation, we believe that the standard could impact the amount and timing of revenues we recognize as certain of our revenue arrangements require us to provide multiple services and may include variable consideration. CONSOLIDATION. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”). This standard modifies existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. We adopted this guidance using the modified retrospective approach as of January 1, 2016 and performed the required reassessments outlined by the guidance. For further information on the results of the reassessments, refer to Note 4, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments” (“ASU 2015-16”). The standard requires an acquirer to recognize the cumulative impact of adjustments to provisional purchase price amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period, in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The standard also requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and must be applied prospectively to adjustments that occur after the effective date. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2016, with no impact to our financial statements. LEASES. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which improves transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. At this time, we are evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial statements. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including accounting for income taxes, cash flow presentation of tax impacts, forfeitures, and liability versus equity accounting due to statutory tax withholding requirements. ASU 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. As of January 1, 2016, we early adopted ASU 2016-09 and with respect to the guidance on forfeitures, we have elected to continue to estimate forfeitures on the date of grant to account for the estimated number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 had no impact on our financial statements. PRINCIPAL VS AGENT CONSIDERATIONS. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”), which amends the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. The amendments clarify how an entity should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements, such as service transactions, by explaining what a principal controls before the specified good or service is transferred to the customer. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in ASU 2016-08 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09. At this time, we are evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial statements. |
