In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, . This ASU provides a framework for revenue recognition that replaces most existing GAAP revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective. We have an option to use either a retrospective approach or a cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the guidance. The new standard is effective for us on July 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted in 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our financial statements and the timing of adoption, and have not yet selected a transition approach.

 

 

 

 

In April 2015 the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, . The new standard classifies debt issuance costs as a deduction from the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-03, these costs were classified as assets. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03 beginning in July 2015 and prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. As of June 30, 2015, $0.3 million of debt issuance costs were reclassified in the consolidated balance sheets from other noncurrent assets to current portion of long-term debt and $1.0 million was reclassified from other noncurrent assets to long-term debt, less current portion. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not impact our consolidated statements of comprehensive income, or our consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, , which requires the Company to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. This pronouncement is effective for the Company on July 1, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements and the timing of adoption.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, , which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The ASU will require lessees that lease assets with lease terms of more than twelve months to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Lessors will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. In addition, the ASU will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This pronouncement is effective for the Company on July 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements and the timing of adoption.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards 2016-09, , which amends ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation. The objective of this amendment is part of the FASB’s Simplification Initiative as it applies to 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 on the statement of cash flows. This pronouncement is effective for the Company on July 1, 2017, and allows for prospective, retrospective or modified retrospective adoption, depending on the area covered in the update, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements and the timing of adoption.
