principal or agent in certain arrangements . the key changes in the standard that impact the company 2019s revenue recognition relate to the presentation of certain revenue contracts and associated contract costs . the most significant of these changes relates to the presentation of certain distribution costs , which are currently presented net against revenues ( contra-revenue ) and will be presented as an expense on a gross basis . the company adopted asu 2014-09 effective january 1 , 2018 on a full retrospective basis , which will require 2016 and 2017 to be restated in future filings
