In the first quarter of 2017, the FASB issued and the Company early adopted ASU 2017-07, “Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (Topic 715).” This ASU requires entities to present non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost in a caption below operating loss and provides that only service cost is eligible to be capitalized in inventory or construction of an asset. This ASU requires retrospective application of the change in the statement of operations and prospective application for the capitalization of service cost in assets. This ASU permits previously disclosed components of net periodic benefit costs as an estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation as a practical expedient. Utilizing the practical expedient approach, based on amounts previously disclosed, the Company reclassified non-service components of net periodic benefit cost from cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, into other income (expense), net on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 9 - Retirement and Postretirement Plans for additional information.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. This ASU eliminates the requirement to consider “down round” features when determining whether certain equity-linked financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s own stock. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. TimkenSteel is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its results of operations and financial condition.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. This ASU shall be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. TimkenSteel will apply this ASU for awards modified on or after January 1, 2018, as applicable. TimkenSteel does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” This guidance clarifies the definition of a business when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017. TimkenSteel will apply this ASU to business combinations effective after January 1, 2018, as applicable.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including trade and other receivables. This guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model. It is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2019, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein. TimkenSteel is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on the balance sheet for operating leases, and requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company regularly enters into operating leases. TimkenSteel is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its results of operations and financial condition.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which provides guidance for revenue recognition and will supersede Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. Under ASU 2014-09 and the subsequently issued amendments, the core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures will be required about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. This standard is effective for reporting periods after December 15, 2017. TimkenSteel has substantially completed a review of its customer contracts and has preliminarily determined that its revenue transactions will continue to be recognized at a point in time. Based on the analysis completed to date, the Company’s expectation is that this standard will not materially impact the amount or timing of revenue recognized. The Company is finalizing its review of accounting policies, systems and related internal controls in anticipation of adopting ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach.
