Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In
April
2015,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No.
2015
-
05,
Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
. The standard provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If the arrangement does include a software license, the software license element of the arrangement should be accounted for in the same manner as the acquisition of other software licenses. We adopted this standard on
July
1,
2016,
applying it prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after
July
1,
2016.
Adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.
 
In
September
2015,
the FASB issued ASU No.

Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.
When recording the purchase price allocation for a business combination in the financial statements, an acquirer
may
record preliminary amounts when measurements are incomplete as of the end of a reporting period. When the required information is received to finalize the purchase price allocation, the preliminary amounts are adjusted. These adjustments are referred to as measurement-period adjustments. This standard eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement-period adjustments. Instead, it requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement-period adjustment be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. We adopted this standard on
July
1,
2016,
applying it prospectively. Application of this standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial position.
 
In
August
2016,
the FASB issued ASU No.
2016
-
15,
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
. The standard is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. We elected to early adopt this standard as of
July
1,
2016.
As our consolidated statement of cash flows presentation was in compliance with the new guidance, adoption of this standard had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In
January
2017,
the FASB issued ASU No.
2017
-
04,
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
. The standard removes Step
2
of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a company to perform procedures to determine the fair value of a reporting unit's assets and liabilities following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, a goodwill impairment charge will now be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
We elected to early adopt this standard on
January
1,
2017.
As we have not been required to complete Step
2
of the goodwill impairment test, we do not anticipate that this standard will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
 
In
May
2014,
the FASB issued ASU No.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
. The standard provides revenue recognition guidance for any entity that enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other accounting standards. The standard also expands the required financial statement disclosures regarding revenue recognition. The new guidance is effective for us on
July

March

the FASB issued ASU No.

-
11,
Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory
. This provision would require inventory that was previously recorded using
first
-in,
first
-out (“FIFO”) to be recorded at lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December
15,
2016
and interim periods within those years, which for us will be
July
1,
2017.
The amendments in this guidance should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU
2015
-
11
and whether it would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In

2016,
the FASB issued ASU No.
2016

01,
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
. The standard is intended to improve the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This ASU is effective using the modified retrospective approach for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after
December
15,
2017,
which for us is
July
1,
2018.
Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the application of this standard to have a significant impact on our result of operations or financial position.
 
In
February,
2016,
the FASB issued ASU
2016
-
02,
Leases (Topic
842
), which amends the existing guidance to require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities from operating leases on the balance sheet. This ASU is effective using the modified retrospective approach for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after
December
15,
2018,
which for us is
July
1,
2019.
Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU

on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In

Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
. This update includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after
December

2016,
which for us is
July
1,

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326),
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
. The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods for those annual periods beginning after
December
15,
2019,
which for us is
July
1,
2019.
Entities
may
early adopt beginning after

01,
Clarifying the Definition of a Business
. The standard revises the definition of a business, which affects many areas of accounting such as business combinations and disposals and goodwill impairment. The revised definition of a business will likely result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions, as opposed to business combinations. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods for those annual periods beginning after
December
15,
2018,
which for us is
July
1,
2019
required to be applied prospectively to transactions occurring on or after the effective date.
