Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
The Company and Basis of Presentation	The Company and Basis of Presentation Travelzoo (the “Company” or “Travelzoo”) is a global publisher of travel and entertainment offers. The Company informs its members in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America, as well as website users, about the best travel, entertainment and local deals available from thousands of companies. The Company's deal experts source, research and test-book offers, recommending only those that meet Travelzoo’s rigorous quality standards. The Company provides travel, entertainment, and local businesses with a fast, flexible, and cost effective way to reach consumers. The Company's revenues are generated primarily from advertising fees. Our publications and products include the Travelzoo website (travelzoo.com), the Travelzoo iPhone and Android apps, the Travelzoo Top 20 e-mail newsletter, the Newsflash e-mail alert service, and the Travelzoo Network , a network of third-party websites that list travel deals published by Travelzoo. Our Travelzoo website includes Local Deals and Getaway listings that allow our members to purchase vouchers for deals from local businesses such as spas, hotels and restaurants. We receive a percentage of the face value of the voucher from the local businesses. Ralph Bartel, who founded Travelzoo and who is a Director of the Company, is the sole beneficiary of the Ralph Bartel 2005 Trust, which is the controlling shareholder of Azzurro Capital Inc. ("Azzurro"). As of June 30, 2017 , Azzurro is the Company's largest stockholder, holding approximately 56.6% of the Company's outstanding shares. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company discontinued operations of its SuperSearch and Fly.com products to focus on its global Travelzoo® brand and reflected the revenues and expenses for these products as discontinued operations, net of taxes, for the current and prior periods presented. See "Note 9: Discontinued Operations" for further information. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2017. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or any other future period, and the Company makes no representations related thereto. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes," which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The updated standard is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2017 with early application permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 in the first quarter of 2017 on a prospective basis. Accordingly, the Company reclassified current deferred taxes of $793,000 to noncurrent on its March 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted. In March, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This accounting standard update was effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and did not have unrecognized tax benefits of stock-based compensation; therefore, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most of the existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. This new accounting standard is effective for the Company for annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (as amended in August 2015 by ASU 2015-14, "Deferral of the Effective Date"). In December 27, 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-20, "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which addresses loan guarantee fees, impairment testing of contract costs, provisions for losses on construction-type and production-type contracts, and various disclosures. ASU 2016-20 will go into effect once ASU 2014-09 takes effect. The Company is currently assessing the timing of revenue for its various advertising products including Top 20 , Newsflash , Local Deals and Getaway vouchers and Hotel Platform commissions. Although the Company is still currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows and has not yet determined whether the effect will be material, the adoption is expected to result in additional required disclosures related to its revenue arrangements. The Company expects to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018 with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as opposed to retrospectively adjusting prior periods. In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update ASU 2016-02, "Leases," which requires that lease arrangements longer than 12 months result in an entity recognizing an asset and liability on its balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. For operating leases with terms longer than 12 months, the Company will recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," which addresses eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash," which addresses classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The standard requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. Both ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 are effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and should apply using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. These accounting standard updates will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory," which requires immediate recognition of the income tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting," which gives direction on which changes to the terms or conditions of these awards require an entity to apply modification accounting in ASC Topic 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation." The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 for all entities with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Share	Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by adjusting the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares included in the diluted calculation consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options calculated using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Numerator: Income from continuing operations $ 633 $ 1,798 $ 1,493 $ 3,623 Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes 54 222 1,938 446 Net income $ 687 $ 2,020 $ 3,431 $ 4,069 Denominator: Weighted average common shares—basic 13,030 14,066 13,224 14,246 Effect of dilutive securities: stock options 28 — 5 — Weighted average common shares—diluted 13,058 14,066 13,229 14,246 Income per share—basic: Continuing operations $ 0.05 $ 0.13 $ 0.11 $ 0.26 Discontinued operations — 0.01 0.15 0.03 Net income per share—basic $ 0.05 $ 0.14 $ 0.26 $ 0.29 Income per share—diluted: Continuing operations $ 0.05 $ 0.13 $ 0.11 $ 0.26 Discontinued operations — 0.01 0.15 0.03 Net income per share—diluted $ 0.05 $ 0.14 $ 0.26 $ 0.29 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , options to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company was formed as a result of a combination and merger of entities founded by the Company’s principal stockholder, Ralph Bartel. In 2002, Travelzoo.com Corporation was merged into Travelzoo. Under and subject to the terms of the merger agreement, holders of promotional shares of Travelzoo.com Corporation (“Netsurfers”) who established that they had satisfied certain prerequisite qualifications were allowed a period of 2 years following the effective date of the merger to receive one share of Travelzoo in exchange for each share of common stock of Travelzoo.com Corporation. In 2004, two years following the effective date of the merger, certain promotional shares remained unexchanged. As the right to exchange these promotional shares expired, no additional shares were reserved for issuance. Thereafter, the Company began to offer a voluntary cash program for those who established that they had satisfied certain prerequisite qualifications for Netsurfer promotional shares as further described below. During 2010 through 2014, the Company became subject to unclaimed property audits of various states in the United States related to the above unexchanged promotional shares and completed settlements with all states. Although the Company has settled the unclaimed property claims with all states, the Company may still receive inquiries from certain potential Netsurfer promotional stockholders that had not provided their state of residence to the Company by April 25, 2004. Therefore, the Company is continuing its voluntary program under which it makes cash payments to individuals related to the promotional shares for individuals whose residence was unknown by the Company and who establish that they satisfy the original conditions required for them to receive shares of Travelzoo.com Corporation, and who failed to submit requests to convert their shares into shares of Travelzoo within the required time period. This voluntary program is not available for individuals whose promotional shares have been escheated to a state by the Company, except those individuals for which their residence was unknown to the Company. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include charges in general and administrative expenses of $1,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . The Company did not make any payment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . The total cost of this program cannot be reliably estimated because it is based on the ultimate number of valid requests received and future levels of the Company’s common stock price. The Company’s common stock price affects the liability because the amount of cash payments under the program is based in part on the recent level of the stock price at the date valid requests are received. The Company does not know how many of the requests for shares originally received by Travelzoo.com Corporation in 1998 were valid, but the Company believes that only a portion of such requests were valid. In order to receive payment under this voluntary program, a person is required to establish that such person validly held shares in Travelzoo.com Corporation. The Company leases office space in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, the U.K., and the U.S. under operating leases which expire between July 2017 and November 30, 2024. The Company has purchase commitments which represent the minimum obligations the Company has under agreements with certain suppliers. These minimum obligations are less than our projected use for those periods. Payments may be more than the minimum obligations based on actual use. The following table summarizes principal contractual commitments as of June 30, 2017 (in thousands): 2017 Remaining 2018 2019 2020 2021 Thereafter Total Operating leases $ 2,964 $ 4,932 $ 4,274 $ 3,795 $ 3,187 $ 5,612 $ 24,764 Purchase obligations 388 536 — — — 924 Total commitments $ 3,352 $ 5,468 $ 4,274 $ 3,795 $ 3,187 $ 5,612 $ 25,688 Local Deals and Getaways merchant payables included in accounts payable were $9.8 million and $14.8 million , as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2017
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes In determining the quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is generally based on our expected annual income and statutory tax rates in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, and the U.K. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Company's effective tax rate was 55% and 45% , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the Company's effective tax rate was 57% and 42% , respectively. The Company's effective tax rate increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 from the corresponding three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , due primarily to the change of geographic mix of income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The undistributed earnings on a book basis for the non-U.S. subsidiaries as of June 30, 2017 are approximately $13.4 million . The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in its operations outside the U.S. If the undistributed earnings are remitted to the U.S., these amounts would be taxable in the U.S. at the current federal and state tax rates net of foreign tax credits. Also, depending on the jurisdiction any distribution may be subject to withholding taxes at rates applicable for that jurisdiction. The estimated amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability attributed to future dividend distributions of undistributed earnings is approximately $1.1 million at June 30, 2017 . The Company maintains liabilities for uncertain tax positions. At June 30, 2017 , the Company had approximately $1.6 million in total unrecognized tax benefits, which if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective income tax rate. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. To the extent accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction in the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company had approximately $953,000 and $951,000 , respectively, in accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is in various stages of multiple year examinations by federal taxing authorities. Although the timing of initiation, resolution and/or closure of audits is highly uncertain, it is reasonably possible that the balance of the gross unrecognized tax benefits related to the method of computing income taxes in certain jurisdictions and losses reported on certain income tax returns could significantly change in the next 12 months . These changes may occur through settlement with the taxing authorities or the expiration of the statute of limitations on the returns filed. The Company is unable to estimate the range of possible adjustments to the balance of the gross unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to U.S. federal and certain state tax examinations for certain years after 2008 and is subject to California tax examinations for years after 2005. The material foreign jurisdictions where the Company is subject to potential examinations by tax authorities are the France, Germany, Spain and United Kingdom for tax years after 2009. The Company's 2009 federal income tax return is currently under examination, including a review of the impact of the sale of Asia Pacific business segment in 2009. These examinations may lead to ordinary course adjustments or proposed adjustments to the Company's taxes or its net operating income. The Company has received a Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR) generally issued at the conclusion of an IRS examination, which was consistent with the Notice of Proposed Adjustment the Company received earlier from the IRS for the 2009 calendar year related to the sale of our Asia Pacific business segment with additional penalties. The RAR proposes an increase to the Company's U.S. taxable income which would result in additional federal tax, federal penalty and state tax expense totaling approximately $31.0 million , excluding interest and state penalties, if any. The proposed adjustment is primarily driven by the IRS’s view that the Asia Pacific business segment assets sold by the Company had a significantly higher valuation than the sales proceeds the Company received upon the sale. The Company disagrees with the proposed adjustments and intends to vigorously contest them. The Company did not make any adjustments to its liabilities for uncertain tax positions related to the RAR during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 because the Company does not believe the IRS’s valuation of the Asia Pacific business segment assets is appropriate. If the Company is not able to resolve these proposed adjustments at the IRS examination level, it plans to pursue all available administrative and, if necessary, judicial remedies.

The value of the portion of the award that is expected to vest is recognized on a straight-line basis as expense over the related employees’ requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In January 2012, the Company granted certain executives stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $28.98 , of which 25,000 options became exercisable annually starting January 23, 2013. The options expire in January 2022. During 2015 , 25,000 options were canceled and 25,000 options were forfeited upon the departure of an executive. As of June 30, 2017 , 50,000 options were outstanding and vested. As of June 30, 2017 , there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense relating to these options.

Equity [Abstract]
Stock Repurchase Program	Stock Repurchase Program The Company's stock repurchase programs assist in offsetting the impact of dilution from employee equity compensation and assist with capital allocation. Management is allowed discretion in the execution of the repurchase program based upon market conditions and consideration of capital allocation. In January 2014 , the Company announced a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2014 , the Company repurchased 261,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5.9 million , which were recorded as part of treasury stock as of December 31, 2014 . During the year ended December 31, 2015 , the Company repurchased 212,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.7 million . The shares repurchased under this program were retired as of December 31, 2015 . There were 56,000 shares remaining to be repurchased under this program as of December 31, 2015 . In February 2016 , the Company announced a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company repurchased 1,056,000 shares of common stock, including the 56,000 shares from the previous stock repurchase program, for an aggregate purchase price of $9.5 million and therefore there were no shares remaining to be repurchased under the repurchase programs authorized in January 2014 and January 2016 as of December 31, 2016. The shares repurchased were retired and recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital until extinguished with the remaining amount reflected as a reduction of retained earnings. In February 2017, the Company announced a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company repurchased 493,912 and 708,992 shares of common stock, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million and $7.0 million , respectively. The shares repurchased were retired and recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital until extinguished with the remaining amount reflected as a reduction of retained earnings. There were 291,000 shares remaining to be repurchased under this program as of June 30, 2017 .

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments Reporting and Significant Customer Information	Segment Reporting and Significant Customer Information The Company manages its business geographically and has three reportable operating segments: Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. Asia Pacific consists of the Company's operations in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. Europe consists of the Company’s operations in France, Germany, Spain, and the U.K. North America consists of the Company’s operations in Canada and the U.S. Management relies on an internal management reporting process that provides revenue and segment operating profit (loss) for making financial decisions and allocating resources. Management believes that segment revenues and operating profit (loss) are appropriate measures of evaluating the operational performance of the Company’s segments. These segment disclosures have been adjusted to remove the revenue and operating profit (loss) related to discontinued operations in the current and prior periods.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Recently Adopted & Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes," which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The updated standard is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2017 with early application permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 in the first quarter of 2017 on a prospective basis. Accordingly, the Company reclassified current deferred taxes of $793,000 to noncurrent on its March 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted. In March, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This accounting standard update was effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and did not have unrecognized tax benefits of stock-based compensation; therefore, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most of the existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. This new accounting standard is effective for the Company for annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (as amended in August 2015 by ASU 2015-14, "Deferral of the Effective Date"). In December 27, 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-20, "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which addresses loan guarantee fees, impairment testing of contract costs, provisions for losses on construction-type and production-type contracts, and various disclosures. ASU 2016-20 will go into effect once ASU 2014-09 takes effect. The Company is currently assessing the timing of revenue for its various advertising products including Top 20 , Newsflash , Local Deals and Getaway vouchers and Hotel Platform commissions. Although the Company is still currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows and has not yet determined whether the effect will be material, the adoption is expected to result in additional required disclosures related to its revenue arrangements. The Company expects to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018 with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as opposed to retrospectively adjusting prior periods. In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update ASU 2016-02, "Leases," which requires that lease arrangements longer than 12 months result in an entity recognizing an asset and liability on its balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. For operating leases with terms longer than 12 months, the Company will recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," which addresses eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash," which addresses classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The standard requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. Both ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 are effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and should apply using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. These accounting standard updates will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory," which requires immediate recognition of the income tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting," which gives direction on which changes to the terms or conditions of these awards require an entity to apply modification accounting in ASC Topic 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation." The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 for all entities with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
