Adopted accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  Also referred to as ASC 606, this update replaces existing revenue recognition guidance with a single comprehensive revenue model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers.  ASC 606 includes a five-step process by which entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  This standard also requires enhanced disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.   



The Company adopted ASC 606 effective at the beginning of fiscal 2018 and applied the modified retrospective approach.  Accordingly, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to the fiscal 2018 opening balance of retained earnings.  The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be presented according to accounting standards in effect for those periods.  The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.  As a result of the adoption of ASC 606, the Company updated its accounting policies related to revenue recognition.  See Note B Revenue Recognition for additional information regarding the Companys revenue recognition policies under the new standard.

Under ASC 606, the Company made a change in the timing for recognizing revenue on orders that have shipped but have not been delivered at period end.  Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the goods and considering the indicators used to determine when control has passed to the customer, the Company has concluded that control transfers upon shipment.  Therefore, revenue and related expense items including cost of goods sold and Associate incentives on orders that have shipped but have not been delivered at period end are no longer deferred.  Subsequent to the period of adoption, there has been no material impact on net income and related per-share amounts.



In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders' equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule is effective on November 5, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the final rule on its consolidated financial statements.



Issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  Additionally, 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, including qualitative and quantitative requirements.  The update requires lessees to apply a modified retrospective approach for recognition and disclosure, beginning with the earliest period presented.  In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842)” – Targeted Improvements, which allows an additional transition method to adopt the new lease standard at the adoption date, as compared to the beginning of the earliest period presented, and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.    The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019, specifically, using the alternative transition method.  The Company is currently in the process of accumulating and evaluating all the necessary information required to properly account for its lease portfolio under the new standard.  The Company is also in the process of implementing changes to its systems and processes in conjunction with its review of lease agreements to support the ongoing accounting and disclosure requirements. Although the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements, the Company currently believes the most significant change will be related to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company's balance sheet for facility lease agreements.



In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.”  ASU 2017-12 better aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To satisfy that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both non-financial and financial risk components, and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements.  For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-12 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.”  ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The modifications removed the following disclosure requirements: (i) the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and (iii) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU added the following disclosure requirements: (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income ("OCI") for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) the range and weighted average of significant observable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.





In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.”  ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the adoption date.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-15 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
