Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Nature of Operations	(1) Organization and Nature of Operations Basis of Presentation Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries H&E Finance Corp., GNE Investments, Inc., Great Northern Equipment, Inc., H&E California Holding, Inc., H&E Equipment Services (California), LLC and H&E Equipment Services (Mid-Atlantic), Inc., collectively referred to herein as “we” or “us” or “our” or the “Company.” The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of all normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017, and therefore, the results and trends in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements may not be the same for the entire year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, from which the consolidated balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2016 were derived. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The nature of our business is such that short-term obligations are typically met by cash flows generated from long-term assets. Consequently, and consistent with industry practice, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented on an unclassified basis. Nature of Operations As one of the largest integrated equipment services companies in the United States focused on heavy construction and industrial equipment, we rent, sell and provide parts and service support for four core categories of specialized equipment: (1) hi-lift or aerial work platform equipment; (2) cranes; (3) earthmoving equipment; and (4) industrial lift trucks. By providing equipment rental, sales, on-site parts, repair and maintenance functions under one roof, we are a one-stop provider for our customers’ varied equipment needs. This full service approach provides us with multiple points of customer contact, enables us to maintain a high quality rental fleet, as well as an effective distribution channel for fleet disposal and provides cross‑selling opportunities among our new and used equipment sales, rental, parts sales and services operations.

Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	(2) Significant Accounting Policies We describe our significant accounting policies in note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the six month period ended June 30, 2017, there were no significant changes to those accounting policies. Use of Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause us to revise these estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue Recognition Revenues from equipment rentals accounted for 47.4% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We believe the accounting for equipment rental revenues is outside the scope of ASU 2014-09. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, revenues from equipment rentals will be accounted for pursuant to current lease accounting guidance until our adoption of the new lease accounting standard as further discussed in the subsequent paragraph below. Revenues from new and used equipment sales, parts and services revenues and other revenues are subject to ASU 2014-09 upon adoption. We have reviewed the accounting for sales of new and used equipment, which accounted for 27.9% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Parts revenues, services revenues and other revenues comprised the remaining 24.7% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The impact of ASU 2014-09 on these revenues is not currently estimable. Our review of this standard, including our evaluation of the available transition methods and the impact of the standard on our internal controls over financial reporting, is ongoing. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Our operating leases include the real estate where all but 11 of our 78 branch locations are located as of June 30, 2017. Additionally, the Company leases numerous types of non-rental equipment. We have begun accumulating the information related to these leases and expect that the quantification of the amount of the lease assets and lease liabilities that we will recognize on our consolidated balance sheet upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 will take significant time given the size of our lease portfolio. We are also concurrently evaluating our internal processes and controls over financial reporting with respect to the impact that the new lease standard will have on our lease administration activities. As mentioned in the ASU 2014-09 discussion above, our equipment rental business involves rental agreements with customers whereby we are the lessor in the transaction and therefore, we believe that such transactions are subject to the lessor accounting guidance of ASU 2016-02. Our evaluation of ASU 2016-02 is ongoing and the impact that this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, as well as our internal controls over financial reporting, is not currently estimable. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the First Quarter of 2017 In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory In March 2016, the FASB Issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ASU 2016-09 eliminates the prior guidance requirement that allowed under certain circumstances the realization of excess tax benefits prior to recognition of those excess tax benefits. Under prior guidance, companies could not recognize excess tax benefits when an option was exercised or a share vested if the related tax deduction increased a net operating loss carryforward rather than reduced income taxes payable. ASU 2016-09 requires companies to apply this part of the guidance using a modified retrospective transition method and record a cumulative effect adjustment for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits. Accordingly, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2017 of approximately $0.9 million for all excess tax benefits that had not been previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced income taxes payable. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies that an entity should classify excess tax benefits along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. This change eliminates the prior practice of grossing up the statement of cash flows for the effect of windfalls, i.e. reporting windfalls as outflows in operating activities and as inflows in financing activities. Under ASU 2016-09, the effect of windfalls will generally be reflected in net income from continuing operations under the indirect method. We have adopted this portion of the guidance on a retrospective basis. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies that employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares of stock for tax withholding purposes be reported as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, which is how the Company has historically presented such activities in our statement of cash flows. We have elected to continue to estimate the number of stock-based awards expected to vest, as permitted by ASU 2016-09, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur. Additional amendments to the accounting for statutory withholding tax requirements had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	6 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	(3) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The FASB fair value measurement guidance established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three broad levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring a company to develop its own assumptions The carrying value of financial instruments reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses payable and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term nature or maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of our letter of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements. The carrying amounts and fair values of our other financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are presented in the table below (amounts in thousands) and have been calculated based upon market quotes and present value calculations based on market rates.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Income per Share	(6) Income per Share Income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The effects of potentially dilutive securities that are anti-dilutive are not included in the computation of dilutive income per share. We include all common shares granted under our incentive compensation plan which remain unvested (“restricted common shares”) and contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid (“participating securities”), in the number of shares outstanding in our basic and diluted EPS calculations using the two-class method. All of our restricted common shares are currently participating securities. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings allocated to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, distributed and undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and restricted common shares based on the total weighted average shares outstanding during the period. The number of restricted common shares outstanding was approximately 0.8% of total outstanding shares for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and, consequently, was immaterial to the basic and diluted EPS calculations. Therefore, use of the two-class method had no impact on our basic and diluted EPS calculations for the periods presented. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Basic net income per share: Net income $ 9,878 $ 7,503 $ 15,268 $ 13,077 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 35,473 35,354 35,469 35,347 Net income per share of common stock – basic $ 0.28 $ 0.21 $ 0.43 $ 0.37 Diluted net income per share: Net income $ 9,878 $ 7,503 $ 15,268 $ 13,077 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 35,473 35,354 35,469 35,347 Effect of dilutive securities: Effect of dilutive stock options — — — — Effect of dilutive non-vested restricted stock 158 126 157 92 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding – diluted 35,631 35,480 35,626 35,439 Net income per share of common stock – diluted $ 0.28 $ 0.21 $ 0.43 $ 0.37 Common shares excluded from the denominator as anti-dilutive: Stock options — 1 — 7 Non-vested restricted stock — — — 4

Senior Secured Credit Facility	(7) Senior Secured Credit Facility We and our subsidiaries are parties to a $602.5 million senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”), as agent (as successor in such capacity to General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE Capital”)), and the lenders named therein (the “Lenders”). On May 21, 2014, we amended, extended and restated the Credit Facility by entering into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, Great Northern Equipment, Inc., H&E Equipment Services (California), LLC, the other credit parties named therein, the lenders named therein, GE Capital, as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A. as co-syndication agent and documentation agent, Wells Fargo, as co-syndication agent and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. as joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner. In March 2016, Wells Fargo succeeded and was substituted for GE Capital as the administrative agent under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) extends the maturity date of the Credit Facility from February 29, 2017 to May 21, 2019, (ii) increases the uncommitted incremental revolving capacity from $130 million to $150 million, (iii) permits a like-kind exchange program under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (iv) provides that the unused commitment fee margin will be either 0.50%, 0.375% or 0.25%, depending on the ratio of the average of the daily closing balances of the aggregate revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit outstanding during each month to the aggregate commitments for the revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit, (v) lowers the interest rate (a) in the case of index rate revolving loans, to the index rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% to 1.25% depending on the leverage ratio and (b) in the case of LIBOR revolving loans, to LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.75% to 2.25%, depending on the leverage ratio, (vi) lowers the margin applicable to the letter of credit fee to between 1.75% and 2.25%, depending on the leverage ratio, and (vii) permits, under certain conditions, for the payment of dividends and/or stock repurchases or redemptions on the capital stock of the Company of up to $75 million per calendar year and further additionally permits the payment of the special cash dividend of $7.00 per share previously declared by the Company on August 20, 2012 to the holders of outstanding restricted stock of the Company following the declared payment date with such permission not tied to the vesting of such restricted stock (which includes the Company’s payment in June 2014 of all amounts that remained payable to the holders of the restricted stock of the Company with respect to such special dividend that was otherwise payable following the applicable vesting dates in May and July 2014 and 2015). On February 5, 2015, we entered into an amendment of the Credit Facility which, among other things, increased the total amount of revolving loan commitments under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from $402.5 million to $602.5 million. As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Facility. At June 30, 2017, the Company could borrow up to an additional $429.9 million and remain in compliance with the debt covenants under the Company’s Credit Facility. At June 30, 2017, the interest rate on the Credit Facility was based on a 4.0% U.S. Prime Rate plus 100 basis points and LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2017 was approximately 3.5%. At July 20, 2017, we had $424.4 million of available borrowings under our Credit Facility, net of $7.7 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	(11) Subsequent Events On July 14, 2017, the Company, the Company’s newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary Yellow Iron Merger Co. and Neff Corporation (“Neff”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) under which, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of, the Company will acquire Neff. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger the Company will pay $21.07 in cash per share of Neff’s Class A common stock (subject to the adjustment described in the subsequent sentence) (the “Merger Consideration”), for a total enterprise value of approximately $1.2 billion, including $690 million of net debt (debt less cash and cash equivalents). The per share merger consideration payable to Neff stockholders is subject to certain downward adjustment, not to exceed $0.44 per share, in the event that the Company incurs certain increased financing costs due to the transaction not being consummated on or prior to January 14, 2018. In addition, each outstanding, unvested stock option and restricted stock unit in respect of Neff’s Class A common stock will be converted into the right to receive Company common stock on substantially similar terms, while each outstanding, vested stock option and restricted stock unit will be entitled to receive an amount in cash based upon the Merger Consideration. In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company also entered into a support agreement with Neff’s largest stockholders, Wayzata Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Wayzata Opportunities Fund Offshore II, L.P. (collectively, “Wayzata”), pursuant to which Wayzata delivered a written consent approving and adopting the Merger Agreement concurrently with the parties execution thereof, as well as exchange and termination agreements with each of Wayzata and the other holders of securities of Neff Holdings, LLC, Neff’s wholly-owned subsidiary, in order to collapse Neff’s holding company structure in advance of the consummation of the proposed merger. The transaction is expected to close in the late third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2017, and is subject to customary closing conditions including Hart-Scott-Rodino Act clearance, as well as a “go-shop” period in favor of Neff Corporation, which period will expire at 11:59 p.m. on August 20, 2017. The Company intends to fund the consideration to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as well as the fees, commissions and expenses related to the transactions contemplated thereby, through a combination of some or all of the following: • Availability under a new $1.25 billion senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”); • The issuance and sale of up to $575 million (which may be increased to up to $825 million, if the proposed equity offering described below is not consummated in full or at all) of senior unsecured notes of the Company in a private placement (the “Proposed Notes Offering”); and • The issuance and sale of up to $250 million of the Company’s common stock in a public offering or private placement (the “Proposed Equity Offering,” and collectively with the ABL Facility and the Proposed Notes Offering, the “Proposed Financing”). The Company also intends to use a portion of the proceeds of the Proposed Financing to refinance certain existing indebtedness of the Company and Neff, including existing senior secured credit facilities. Subject to market conditions, the Company may seek to refinance its existing 7% senior unsecured notes due 2022 in the aggregate principal amount of $630 million. The Proposed Equity Offering and Proposed Notes Offering are each subject to market and other conditions, and the Proposed Financing is contingent on the satisfaction of certain customary conditions. In connection with its entry into the Merger Agreement, on July 14, 2017, the Company entered into a Commitment Letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank”), WF Investment Holdings, LLC (“WFIH”) and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (collectively with Wells Fargo Bank and WFIH, “Wells Fargo”), pursuant to which Wells Fargo has committed to provide 100% of the ABL Facility and 100% of the principal amount of a senior unsecured bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility”) in an amount up to $825 million. The Commitment Letter contemplates that the Company will undertake the Proposed Notes Offering and the Proposed Equity Offering, and the commitment under the Bridge Facility will be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount of aggregate proceeds, if any, from the Proposed Notes Offering and Proposed Equity Offering. Funding of the financing under the Commitment Letter is contingent on the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein. The ABL Facility is expected to contain a springing minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant and other customary negative and affirmative covenants and representations and warranties. The Bridge Facility is also expected to contain customary affirmative and negative covenants and representations and warranties. The respective obligations of Wells Fargo Bank and WFIH to provide the Credit Facilities are subject to customary conditions, including, without limitation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation consistent with the Commitment Letter and the documentation standards specified therein. Under certain conditions Wells Fargo has the right to exercise a securities demand which requires the Company to accept an issuance, at then current market terms, of up to $825 million in unsecured debt securities in order to close the transaction. Wells Fargo or its affiliates from time to time have provided in the past and may provide in the future investment banking, commercial lending and financial advisory services to the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business, and has received, and may in the future receive, customary fees for such transactions and services. For additional information on the Merger Agreement, please see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission on July 14, 2017.

Organization and Nature of Op17

Organization and Nature of Operations (Policies)	6 Months Ended

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries H&E Finance Corp., GNE Investments, Inc., Great Northern Equipment, Inc., H&E California Holding, Inc., H&E Equipment Services (California), LLC and H&E Equipment Services (Mid-Atlantic), Inc., collectively referred to herein as “we” or “us” or “our” or the “Company.” The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of all normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017, and therefore, the results and trends in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements may not be the same for the entire year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, from which the consolidated balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2016 were derived. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The nature of our business is such that short-term obligations are typically met by cash flows generated from long-term assets. Consequently, and consistent with industry practice, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented on an unclassified basis.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause us to revise these estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue Recognition Revenues from equipment rentals accounted for 47.4% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We believe the accounting for equipment rental revenues is outside the scope of ASU 2014-09. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, revenues from equipment rentals will be accounted for pursuant to current lease accounting guidance until our adoption of the new lease accounting standard as further discussed in the subsequent paragraph below. Revenues from new and used equipment sales, parts and services revenues and other revenues are subject to ASU 2014-09 upon adoption. We have reviewed the accounting for sales of new and used equipment, which accounted for 27.9% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. Parts revenues, services revenues and other revenues comprised the remaining 24.7% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The impact of ASU 2014-09 on these revenues is not currently estimable. Our review of this standard, including our evaluation of the available transition methods and the impact of the standard on our internal controls over financial reporting, is ongoing. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Our operating leases include the real estate where all but 11 of our 78 branch locations are located as of June 30, 2017. Additionally, the Company leases numerous types of non-rental equipment. We have begun accumulating the information related to these leases and expect that the quantification of the amount of the lease assets and lease liabilities that we will recognize on our consolidated balance sheet upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 will take significant time given the size of our lease portfolio. We are also concurrently evaluating our internal processes and controls over financial reporting with respect to the impact that the new lease standard will have on our lease administration activities. As mentioned in the ASU 2014-09 discussion above, our equipment rental business involves rental agreements with customers whereby we are the lessor in the transaction and therefore, we believe that such transactions are subject to the lessor accounting guidance of ASU 2016-02. Our evaluation of ASU 2016-02 is ongoing and the impact that this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, as well as our internal controls over financial reporting, is not currently estimable. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the First Quarter of 2017 In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory In March 2016, the FASB Issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ASU 2016-09 eliminates the prior guidance requirement that allowed under certain circumstances the realization of excess tax benefits prior to recognition of those excess tax benefits. Under prior guidance, companies could not recognize excess tax benefits when an option was exercised or a share vested if the related tax deduction increased a net operating loss carryforward rather than reduced income taxes payable. ASU 2016-09 requires companies to apply this part of the guidance using a modified retrospective transition method and record a cumulative effect adjustment for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits. Accordingly, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2017 of approximately $0.9 million for all excess tax benefits that had not been previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced income taxes payable. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies that an entity should classify excess tax benefits along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. This change eliminates the prior practice of grossing up the statement of cash flows for the effect of windfalls, i.e. reporting windfalls as outflows in operating activities and as inflows in financing activities. Under ASU 2016-09, the effect of windfalls will generally be reflected in net income from continuing operations under the indirect method. We have adopted this portion of the guidance on a retrospective basis. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies that employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares of stock for tax withholding purposes be reported as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, which is how the Company has historically presented such activities in our statement of cash flows. We have elected to continue to estimate the number of stock-based awards expected to vest, as permitted by ASU 2016-09, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur. Additional amendments to the accounting for statutory withholding tax requirements had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
