BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Jan. 31, 2018 |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Nature of Business | Nature of Business Titan Machinery Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are engaged in the retail sale, service and rental of agricultural and construction machinery through its stores in the United States and Europe. The Company's North American stores are located in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming, and its European stores are located in Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. |
Seasonality | Seasonality The agricultural and construction equipment businesses are highly seasonal, which causes the Company's quarterly results and cash flows to fluctuate during the year. The Company's customers generally purchase and rent equipment in preparation for, or in conjunction with, their busy seasons, which for farmers are the spring planting and fall harvesting seasons, and for Construction customers is dependent on weather seasons in their respective regions, which is typically the second and third quarters of the Company's fiscal year for much of its Construction footprint. The Company's parts and service revenues are typically highest during its customers' busy seasons as well, due to the increased use of their equipment during this time, which generates the need for more parts and service work. However, weather conditions impact the timing of our customers' busy times, which may cause the Company's quarterly financial results to differ between fiscal years. In addition, the fourth quarter typically is a significant period for equipment sales in the U.S. because of our customers’ year-end tax planning considerations, the timing of dealer incentives and the increase in availability of funds from completed harvests and construction projects. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's foreign subsidiaries have fiscal years ending on December 31 of each year, consistent with statutory reporting requirements in each of the respective countries. The accounts of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are consolidated as of December 31 of each year. No events occurred related to these subsidiaries in January 2018 that would have materially affected the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding ownership interest held by the noncontrolling interest holder of the Company's Bulgarian subsidiary. Total consideration, which amounted to $4.3 million , was in the form of the satisfaction of outstanding receivables owed to the Company by the noncontrolling interest holder. Subsequent to this acquisition, all of the Company's subsidiaries are wholly-owned. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities. |
Estimates | Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly related to realization of inventory, impairment of long-lived assets, collectability of receivables, and income taxes. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company's sales are to agricultural and construction equipment customers principally in the states and European countries in which its stores are located. The Company extends credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business and monitors its customers' financial condition to minimize its risks associated with trade receivables; however, the Company does not generally require collateral on trade receivables. The Company's cash balances are maintained in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, are in excess of federally insured limits. |
Concentrations in Operations | Concentrations in Operations The Company currently purchases new equipment, rental equipment and the related parts from a limited number of manufacturers. Although no change in suppliers is anticipated, the occurrence of such a change could cause a possible loss of sales and adversely affect operating results. The Company is the holder of authorized dealerships granted by CNH Industrial America, LLC and CNHI International SA (collectively referred to "CNH Industrial") whereby it has the right to act as an authorized dealer for the entity's equipment. The dealership authorizations and floorplan payable facilities can be canceled by the respective entity if the Company does not observe certain established guidelines and covenants. In addition, the Company believes that the following factors related to concentrations in suppliers, and in particular CNH Industrial, have a significant impact on its operating results: • CNH Industrial's product offerings, reputation and market share • CNH Industrial's product prices and incentive and discount programs • Supply of inventory from CNH Industrial • CNH Industrial provides floorplan payable financing for the purchase of a substantial portion of the Company's inventory • CNH Industrial provides a significant percentage of the financing and lease financing used by the Company's customers to purchase CNH Industrial equipment from the Company. |
Receivables and Credit Policy | eceivables and Credit Policy Trade accounts receivable due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 to 90 days from the invoice date. Balances unpaid after the due date based on trade terms are considered past due and begin to accrue interest. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices. Trade accounts receivable due from manufacturers relate to discount programs, incentive programs and repair services performed on equipment with a remaining factory warranty. Trade accounts receivable due from finance companies primarily consist of contracts in transit with finance companies and balances due from credit card companies. These receivables do not generally have established payment terms but are collected in relatively short time periods. Unbilled receivables represent unbilled labor hours incurred and parts inventories consumed during the performance of service arrangements for our customers at their retail, or billable, rates. The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management reviews aged receivable balances and estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. Account balances are charged off after all appropriate means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. |
Inventories | nventories New and used equipment are stated at the lower of cost (specific identification) 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. All new and used equipment inventories, including that which has been rented, are subject to periodic lower of cost or net realizable value evaluation that considers various factors including aging of equipment and market conditions. Equipment inventory values are adjusted whenever the carrying amount exceeds the net realizable value. Parts inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. The Company estimates its lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments on its parts inventories based on various factors including aging and sales of each type of parts inventory. Work in process represents costs incurred in the reconditioning and preparation for sale of our equipment inventories. |
Property and Equipment | roperty and Equipment Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset, as summarized below: Buildings and leasehold improvements Lesser of 10 - 40 years or lease term Machinery and equipment 3 - 10 years Furniture and fixtures 3 - 10 years Vehicles 5 - 10 years Rental fleet 3 - 10 years Depreciation for income tax reporting purposes is computed using accelerated methods. |
Intangible Assets | ntangible Assets Intangible assets with a finite life consist of customer relationships and covenants not to compete, and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes the cost of identified intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which is three years for customer relationships and the contractual term for covenants not to compete, which range from five to ten years. Intangible assets with an indefinite life consist of distribution rights with manufacturers. Distribution rights are classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset because the Company's distribution agreements continue indefinitely by their terms, or are routinely awarded or renewed without substantial cost or material modifications to the underlying agreements. As such, the Company believes that its distribution rights intangible assets will contribute to its cash flows for an indefinite period; therefore, the carrying amount of distribution rights is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events or when circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of December 31st of each year. The impairment test is performed by comparing the carrying value to its estimated fair value. See Note 5 for details and results of the Company's impairment testing in the years ended January 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | mpairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company's long-lived assets consist of its intangible assets and property and equipment. These assets are reviewed for potential impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of such assets to their carrying values. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, the carrying value is considered recoverable and no impairment recognition is required. However, if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the second step of the impairment analysis must be performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step of the impairment analysis compares the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset to its carrying value and any amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value is recognized as an impairment charge. All impairment charges recognized are included in the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets amount in the consolidated statements of operations. When reviewing long-lived assets for impairment, we group long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Long-lived assets deployed and used by individual store locations are reviewed for impairment at the individual store level. Other long-lived assets shared across stores within a segment or shared across segments are reviewed for impairment on a segment or consolidated level as appropriate. During the year ended January 31, 2018, the Company determined that certain events or circumstances, including a current period operating loss combined with historical losses and anticipated future operating losses, or an expectation that a long-lived asset will be disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life, within certain of its stores was an indication that the long-lived assets of these stores may not be recoverable. In light of these circumstances, the Company performed step one of the long-lived asset impairment analysis for these assets, which have a combined carrying value of $13.3 million . In certain cases, the analyses indicated that the carrying value is not recoverable. The aggregate carrying value of such assets totaled $2.5 million . Based on this conclusion, the Company performed step two of the impairment analysis and estimated the fair value of these assets primarily using market and income approaches. Step two of the analysis indicated that an impairment charge in the amount $0.7 million was necessary, of which $0.2 million related to the Agriculture segment and $0.5 million related to the Construction segment. In all other cases, in which the aggregate carrying value of such assets totaled $10.8 million , the Company's analyses indicated that the carrying values are recoverable based on its estimates of future undiscounted cash flows under step one of the impairment analysis. We performed similar impairment analyses at the end of fiscal 2017 and 2016. The Company recognized impairment charges totaling $4.4 million on long-lived assets during the year ended January 31, 2017, of which $1.9 million related to the Agriculture segment, $2.2 million related to the Construction segment and $0.3 million related to the International segment. The Company recognized impairment charges totaling $6.9 million on long-lived assets during the year ended January 31, 2016, of which $4.0 million related to the Agriculture segment, $2.8 million related to the Construction segment and $0.1 million related to the Shared Resource Center. |
Derivative Instruments | erivative Instruments In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and benchmark interest rates. The Company may manage its market risk exposures through a program that includes the use of derivative instruments, primarily foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate derivatives. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to market risk is to minimize the impact on earnings, cash flows and the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All outstanding derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The effect on earnings from recognizing the fair value of the derivative instrument depends on its intended use, the hedge designation, and the effectiveness in offsetting the exposure of the underlying hedged item. Changes in fair values of instruments designated to reduce or eliminate fluctuations in the fair values of recognized assets and liabilities and unrecognized firm commitments are reported currently in earnings along with the change in the fair value of the hedged items. Changes in the effective portion of the fair values of derivative instruments used to reduce or eliminate fluctuations in cash flows of forecasted transactions are reported in other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders' equity. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings when the related hedged items affect earnings or the anticipated transactions are no longer probable. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated to reduce or eliminate fluctuations in the net investment of a foreign subsidiary are reported in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are reported currently in earnings. The cash flows related to derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges are classified in the same category on the consolidated statements of cash flow as the cash flows from the items being hedged. For derivative instruments accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the manner by which the effectiveness of the hedging instrument will be evaluated. At each reporting period after inception, the Company evaluates the hedging instrument's effectiveness in reducing or eliminating the underlying hedged exposure. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings immediately. |
Fair Value Measurements | air Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value: Level 1—Values derived from unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2—Values derived from observable inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active. Level 3—Values derived from unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, thereby requiring the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
Customer Deposits | ustomer Deposits Customer deposits consist of advance payments from customers, in the form of cash or equipment to be traded-in. |
Income Taxes | ncome Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in its provision for income taxes in the period of the change. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted by taxing jurisdiction and presented as either a net asset or liability position, as applicable, on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured as the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. Changes in the recognition or measurement of such positions are reflected in its provision for income taxes in the period of the change. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters within its provision for income taxes. |
Earnings Per Share | arnings (Loss) Per Share ("EPS") The Company uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted EPS. Unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities because they entitle holders to non-forfeitable rights to dividends during the vesting term. Under the two-class method, basic EPS were computed by dividing net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of income (loss) to participating securities by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS were computed by dividing net income attributable to Titan Machinery Inc. after allocation of income (loss) to participating securities by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding after adjusting for potential dilution related to the conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock. All potentially dilutive securities were included in the computation of diluted EPS. All anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. The following table sets forth the calculation of the denominator for basic and diluted EPS: Year Ended January 31, 2018 2017 2016 (in thousands, except per share data) Basic Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding 21,543 21,294 21,111 Plus: Incremental Shares From Assumed Exercise of Stock Options — — — Diluted Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding 21,543 21,294 21,111 Anti-Dilutive Shares Excluded From Diluted Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding Stock Options 87 139 174 Shares Underlying Senior Convertible Notes (conversion price of $43.17) 1,521 2,217 3,474 Earnings (Loss) per Share Basic $ (0.32 ) $ (0.65 ) $ (1.76 ) Diluted $ (0.32 ) $ (0.65 ) $ (1.76 ) |
Revenue Recognition | evenue Recognition Equipment revenue is generally recognized upon receipt of a signed sales contract and delivery of product to customers. In addition to outright sales of new and used equipment, certain rental agreements may include rent-to-purchase options. Under these agreements, customers are given a period of time to exercise an option to purchase the related equipment, with a portion of the rental payments being applied to reduce the purchase price. Payments received during the rental period are recorded as rental revenue. Any such equipment is included in inventory until the purchase option is exercised, and the carrying value of the equipment is reduced in accordance with the Company's aforementioned policy. Equipment revenue is recognized upon the exercise of the purchase option. Parts revenue is recognized upon delivery of product to customers. Service revenue is recognized at the time the related services are provided. Rental revenue is recognized over the period of the respective rental agreement. |
Sales, Excise and Value Added Taxes | ales, Excise and Value Added Taxes The Company has customers in states and municipalities in which those governmental units impose a sales tax on certain sales. The U.S. federal government imposes excise taxes on certain sales. Certain governments of the foreign countries in which the Company operates impose value added taxes on certain sales. The Company collects those sales and excise taxes from its customers and remits the entire amount to the various governmental units. The Company's accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted from revenue and cost of revenue. |
Shipping and Handling Costs | hipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of revenue and amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are recorded in revenue. |
Lessor Accounting | essor Accounting The Company leases equipment from its rental fleet and equipment inventory to customers on operating leases over periods primarily less than one year . These leases require a minimum rental payment and contingent rental payment based on machine hours. Rental revenue totaled $51.6 million , $50.5 million and $61.4 million for the years ended January 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . As of January 31, 2018 , the Company had $123.4 million of rental fleet included in property and equipment and accumulated depreciation of $51.6 million . As of January 31, 2017 , the Company had $124.4 million of rental fleet included in property and equipment and accumulated depreciation of $49.3 million . |
Construction of Leased Assets and Sale-Leaseback Accounting | onstruction of Leased Assets and Sale-Leaseback Accounting The Company from time to time performs construction projects on its store locations, which are recorded as property and equipment in the consolidated balance sheet during the construction period. Upon completion, these assets are either placed in service, at which point the depreciation of the asset commences, or are part of a sale-leaseback transaction with a third-party buyer/lessor. In certain other situations the Company enters into build-to-suit construction projects with third-party lessors. Under the applicable lease accounting rules, certain forms of lessee involvement in the construction of the leased asset deem the Company to be the owner of the leased asset during the construction period and requires capitalization of the lessor's total project costs on the consolidated balance sheet with the recognition of a corresponding financing obligation. Upon completion of a project for which the constructed assets are sold to a buyer/lessor or the completion of a capitalized build-to suit construction project, the Company performs a sale-leaseback analysis to determine if the asset and related financing obligation can be derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet. Certain provisions in a number of our lease agreements, primarily provisions regarding repurchase options, are deemed to be continuing involvement in the sold asset which precludes sale recognition. In such cases, the asset remains on the consolidated balance sheet under property and equipment and the proceeds received in the sale-leaseback transaction are recognized as a financing obligation under long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet. Both the asset and the financing obligation are amortized over the lease term. In instances in which the Company has no continuing involvement in the sold asset, the criteria for sale recognition are met and the asset and any related financing obligation are derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet, and the lease is analyzed for proper accounting treatment as either an operating or capital lease. See Note 8 for balances of outstanding financing obligations. |
Manufacturer Incentives and Discounts | anufacturer Incentives and Discounts The Company receives various manufacturer incentives and discounts, which are based on a variety of factors. Discounts and incentives related to the purchase of inventory are recognized as a reduction of inventory prices and recognized as a reduction of cost of revenue when the related inventory is sold. Other incentives, reflecting reimbursement of qualifying expenses, are recognized as a reduction of the related expense when earned. |
Advertising Costs | dvertising Costs Costs incurred for producing and distributing advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $2.2 million , $2.9 million and $3.3 million for the years ended January 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . |
Comprehensive Income and Foreign Currency Matters | omprehensive Income and Foreign Currency Matters For the Company, comprehensive income (loss) represents net income adjusted for foreign currency items, including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on net investment hedge, interest rate and cash flow derivative instruments. For its foreign subsidiaries in which their local currency is their functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date exchange rate. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded directly as other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders' equity. For its foreign subsidiaries in which the local currency is not the functional currency, prior to translation into U.S. dollars, amounts must first be remeasured from the local currency into the functional currency. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates and monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the balance sheet date exchange rate. Income and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates for the year. Foreign currency remeasurement adjustments are included in the statement of operations. The Company recognized, in interest income and other income (expense) in its consolidated statements of operations, a net foreign currency transaction gain of $1.2 million for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 and a net foreign currency transaction loss of $0.7 million and $3.8 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016 . These foreign currency transaction gain and losses primarily arise from intercompany loans provided to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and remeasurement losses resulting from the devaluation of the Ukrainian hryvnia. The Company hedges its intercompany loans balances, the gains and losses on such instruments are disclosed in Note 9 and substantially offset the foreign currency gains or losses arising from these intercompany loans. The net foreign currency loss arising from Ukrainian hryvnia remeasurements amounted to $0.5 million , $0.3 million and $2.5 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . S |
Stock-Based Compensation | tock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation at the fair value of the related equity instrument over the applicable service or performance period. Beginning on February 1, 2017 with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation, the Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Additional information regarding stock-based compensation is summarized in Note 16. |
Business Combinations | usiness Combinations The Company accounts for business combinations by allocating the purchase price amongst the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed based on the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The acquisition accounting is finalized during the measurement period, which may not exceed one year from the date of acquisition. During the measurement period the Company's accounting for the business combination transaction may be based on estimates due to various unknown factors present at the date of acquisition. |
Exit and Disposal Costs | xit and Disposal Costs Costs related to exit or disposal activities, including store closures, for the Company primarily include lease termination costs, employee termination benefits and other costs associated with moving assets and vacating the stores. The Company records a liability at the net present value of the remaining lease obligations, net of estimated sublease income, as of the date the Company ceases using the property, including removal of any Company assets. Any subsequent adjustments to that liability as a result of changes in estimates are recorded in the period incurred. The Company records a liability for employee termination costs on the date when management, with appropriate approval, has a formal plan, the plan identifies the number of employees by function with the expected date of termination, benefits for the employees have been identified, the plan is unlikely to be changed and the termination benefits have been communicated to the employees. Other related costs are expensed as incurred. Information regarding such transactions is disclosed in Note 20. |
Segment Reporting | egment Reporting The Company operates its business in three reportable segments, the Agriculture, Construction and International segments. Information regarding these segments is disclosed in Note 21. |
Recent Accounting Guidance | Recent Accounting Guidance Accounting guidance adopted In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") amended authoritative guidance on accounting for the measurement of inventory, codified in ASC 330, Inventory . The amended guidance requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis on February 1, 2017. Under the former guidance for measuring inventory, the Company recognized lower of cost-or-market adjustments using a definition of market value as net realizable value reduced by an allowance for a normal profit margin. Upon implementation of the new authoritative guidance, market is defined solely as net realizable value. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on stock-based compensation through the issuance of ASU 2016-09 which is codified in ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The amended guidance changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statements of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on February 1, 2017. Under the new guidance, excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to share-based compensation that were previously recorded to equity are now recognized as a discrete tax benefit or expense in the statement of operations. The impact on income tax expense (benefit) was not material for fiscal 2018. Excess tax benefits are no longer reclassified out of cash flows from operating activities to financing activities in the statement of cash flows. We elected to apply this cash flow presentation requirement prospectively. The amount of excess tax benefits recognized for the years ended January 31, 2018 and 2017 were not material. Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes are required to be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. This method of presentation is consistent with the Company's historical presentation. Also under the new standard, the Company elected to account for forfeitures of share based instruments as they occur, as compared to the previous guidance under which the Company estimated the number of forfeitures. The Company applied the accounting change on a modified retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of February 1, 2017. The following table summarizes the impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet: As of February 1, 2017 Balance Sheet Classification Additional paid-in capital Deferred income tax liability Retained earnings (in thousands) Increase (Decrease) Impact of cumulative-effect adjustment from adoption of ASU 2016-09 $ 2,087 $ (835 ) $ (1,252 ) Accounting guidance not yet adopted In May 2014 and August 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for revenue recognition, codified in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This guidance has been amended on various occasions and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . This guidance is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of 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. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company will adopt this guidance on February 1, 2018. We have assessed the impact adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Our implementation efforts consisted of an identification and assessment of our primary revenue streams and the performance of contract analyses of a sample of contracts within each of our revenue streams. Based on our assessment, the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our revenue recognition policies for our equipment, parts or service revenues. ASC 606 does not apply to the recognition of our rental revenues as the accounting for such revenues is governed by other authoritative guidance. We will adopt the standard by using the modified retrospective approach. The standard required minimal changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. In February 2016, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on leases, codified in ASC 842, Leases . The amended guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new standard also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The provisions of this guidance are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with elective reliefs, which requires application of the guidance for all periods presented. We anticipate adopting the new standard on February 1, 2019, and expect to elect the package of practical expedients afforded under the guidance, including the use of hindsight to determine the lease term. Our implementation efforts to date have consisted of identifying the Company's lease population, selecting a lease software to implement that will assist with the reporting and disclosure requirements under the standard and continuing the process of abstracting and validating the Company's lease information. While we continue to evaluate this standard, we anticipate this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets due to the capitalization of a right-of-use asset and lease liability associated with our current operating leases, but do not believe it will have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. In May 2017, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on modifications related to stock compensation, codified in ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation . The amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting. The guidance is effective for the Company as of the first quarter of its fiscal year ending January 31, 2019. The Company does not believe the update will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB amended authoritative guidance on hedge accounting, codified in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The amendments better align the accounting rules with a company's risk management activities, better reflects economic results of hedging in financial statements, and simplifies hedge accounting treatment. The guidance is effective for the Company as of the first quarter of its fiscal year ending January 31, 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard on the financial statements. |
