| RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE                   | RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCEThe FASB issued in May 2014 guidance that supersedes most of the current revenue recognition requirements. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. In August 2015, the FASB approved a one year delay to the required adoption date of the standard, which makes it effective for the Company no later than the first quarter of 2018, with adoption in 2017 permitted. In 2016, the FASB issued final amendments to clarify the implementation guidance related to principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations and the accounting for licenses of intellectual property. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial adoption. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.The FASB issued in November 2015 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The guidance requires an entity to classify all deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent in the balance sheet. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance during the fourth quarter of 2015 on a retrospective basis, which resulted in decreases to other current assets of $85.2 million and other liabilities of $76.7 million and an increase to other assets of $8.5 million as of November 1, 2015.The FASB issued in April 2015 an update to accounting guidance related to debt issuance costs. The guidance requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2016 on a retrospective basis, which resulted in decreases to prepaid expenses of $8.1 million and $8.1 million as of January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015, respectively, and other assets of $14.5 million and $16.1 million as of January 31, 2016 and November 1, 2015, respectively, both with corresponding decreases in long-term debt.The FASB issued in April 2015 an update to accounting guidance related to retirement benefits. This guidance provides a practical expedient which allows a company with fiscal years that do not fall on a calendar month-end to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month end that is closest to the company’s fiscal year end. If elected, this guidance should be applied consistently from year to year for all plans. The guidance became effective in the first quarter of 2016. Prospective adoption is required. The Company will not change its measurement date under this guidance.The FASB issued in July 2015 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the measurement of inventory. Currently, all inventory is measured at the lower of cost or market. The new guidance requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope of the guidance at the 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. The new guidance does not apply to inventory measured using last-in, first-out or the retail inventory methods. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017, with early adoption permitted. Prospective adoption is required. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued in January 2016 an update to accounting guidance for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance requires equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income and updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 with limited early adoption permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued in February 2016 a new accounting standard on leases. The new standard, among other changes, will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the balance sheet for all leases. The lease liability will be measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The right-of-use asset will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs (e.g., commissions). The guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019 with early adoption permitted. The adoption will require a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of the adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but expects that it will result in a significant increase to its other assets and other liabilities.The FASB issued in March 2016 an update to accounting guidance to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is expected to impact the recording of income taxes in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements and Balance Sheets, as well as the operating and financing cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be dependent upon unpredictable future events, including the timing of exercises and the value realized upon the vesting or exercise of shares versus the fair value when those shares were granted. The FASB issued in August 2016 an update to accounting guidance to clarify and provide specific guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statement of cash flows with the objective of reducing existing diversity in practice with respect to these items. Among the types of cash flows addressed are payments for costs related to debt prepayments or extinguishments, payments of contingent consideration after a business combination and distributions from equity method investees. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective adoption is required. Upon adoption, contingent purchase price payments that are currently classified as cash flows from investing activities will be classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Otherwise, the adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.The FASB issued in October 2016 an update to accounting guidance to simplify income tax accounting on intercompany sales or transfers of assets other than inventory. Current guidance requires entities to defer the income tax effect of intercompany transfers of assets until the asset has been sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized. The new guidance requires companies to immediately recognize in their income statement the income tax effects of an intercompany sale or transfer of an asset other than inventory. This guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. Entities are required to apply the guidance using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, it is expected to have an impact on the Company’s opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. |
