Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business and Basis of Presentation	Business and Basis of Presentation Business Foundation Building Materials (the "Company") is a specialty distributor of wallboard, suspended ceiling systems, and mechanical insulation throughout the U.S. and Canada. Based in Tustin, California, the Company employs more than 3,500 people and operates more than 220 branches across the U.S. and Canada. Organization The Company was formed on October 27, 2016 (inception). The initial stockholder of the Company was LSF9 Cypress Parent 2 LLC ("Parent 2") which held all of the Company's authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Reorganization On February 8, 2017, FBM Alpha LLC, (formerly known as LSF9 Cypress Parent, LLC) ("Alpha"), transferred its wholly owned direct subsidiary, FBM Beta LLC, (formerly known as LSF9 Cypress Holdings, LLC), and indirectly FBM Finance, Inc. to the Company, thereby transferring the business for which historical financial information is included in these results of operations, to be indirectly held by the Company (the "Reorganization"). Initial Public Offering Following the Reorganization, on February 15, 2017 , the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO") in which it issued 12,800,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $14.00 per share. The common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on February 10, 2017 under the ticker symbol "FBM." After underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses, the net proceeds to the Company from the IPO were approximately $164.0 million . The Company used these net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under its asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility"). The proceeds of $164.0 million were recorded in equity, with approximately $13,000 recorded for the par value of the common stock and the remaining amount recorded in additional paid-in capital. The underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 1,920,000 shares of common stock from Parent 2 and those shares were purchased on February 24, 2017 . The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by Parent 2. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation with respect to the interim financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for full fiscal years. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2017 (the "2016 10-K"). Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company has two reportable segments, Specialty Building Products ("SBP") and Mechanical Insulation ("MI"). Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the Company's CEO, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM").

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Jun. 30, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , which applies to inventory valued at first-in, first-out or average cost. ASU 2015-11 requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value (i.e., selling price less reasonable completion and disposal costs), rather than at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 , and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 and the adoption thereof did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . This ASU is intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, including the income tax effects of share-based payments and accounting for forfeitures. This guidance will require recognizing the Company’s excess tax benefits on share-based compensation arrangements in the tax provision, instead of in equity as under the current guidance. In addition, these amounts will be classified as an operating activity rather than a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 and the adoption thereof did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. However, the adoption of this guidance will result in excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to the exercise of share-based compensation awards to employees being included in the determination of the Company’s income tax provision, which could significantly impact the Company’s consolidated net income in future periods. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous, industry-specific requirements. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additional ASUs have been issued to amend or clarify the guidance in this ASU as follows: • ASU No. 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients was issued in May 2016. ASU No. 2016-12 amends the new revenue recognition standard to clarify the guidance on assessing collectability, presenting sales taxes, measuring noncash consideration, and certain transition matters. • ASU No. 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing was issued in April 2016. ASU No. 2016-10 addresses implementation issues identified by the FASB-International Accounting Standards Board Joint Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition. • ASU No. 2016-08 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) was issued in March 2016. ASU No. 2016-08 requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise to provide goods or services to a customer is performed in a principal or agent capacity and to recognize revenue in a gross or net manner based on its principal/agent designation. The guidance in these ASUs is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 , including interim periods within that reporting period, and early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 . The Company is continuing its evaluation of the impact of this standard and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements; however, this expectation is subject to change. The adoption of this guidance will likely result in additional disclosures regarding the Company's revenue recognition polices. The Company currently plans to adopt this new guidance using the modified retrospective method. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instrum ents – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The updated guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments by modifying how entities measure and recognize equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities, and by simplifying the disclosure guidance for financial instruments. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU No. 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either "finance" or "operating," with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This update requires a modified retrospective transition as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 , and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU No. 2016-15 amended the existing accounting standards for the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 , and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill but rather requires an entity to record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value. This amendment is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging Activit

Derivatives and Hedging Activities	Jun. 30, 2017
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives and Hedging Activities	Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company uses derivatives to manage selected foreign exchange exposures for its investments in foreign subsidiaries. In general, the types of risks hedged are those relating to the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by movements in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company documents its risk management strategy and hedge effectiveness at the inception of and during the term of each hedge. Net Investment Hedge As of June 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016, the amount of notional foreign exchange contracts outstanding was approximately $88.0 million. There is no significant credit risk associated with the potential failure of any counterparty to perform under the terms of any derivative financial instrument. The net investment hedge is measured at fair value within the consolidated balance sheet either as an asset or a liability. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the derivative instrument was $0.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and was recorded in non-current other assets. The Company recognized a loss of $0.9 million and $1.4 million , net of taxes of $0.6 million and $0.9 million , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, recorded in comprehensive income (loss) related to the net investment hedge. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a loss of $64,000 in other income, net, related to the ineffective portion of the net investment hedge. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a loss totaling $95,000 in other income, net, related to the ineffective portion of the net investment hedge. The Company did not have any foreign exchange contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Embedded Derivative The Company has the option to prepay its $575.0 million Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the "Notes") at any time prior to August 15, 2018 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus the applicable premium and any accrued and unpaid interest. Redemption on or after August 15, 2018 is subject to the applicable premium, in each case as set forth in the indenture governing the Notes. Prior to August 15, 2018 , in the event of equity offerings, the Company has the option to prepay up to 40% of the Notes using the proceeds from such offering within 180 days from closing of the offering. However, 50% of the principal needs to remain outstanding. The redemption price is determined at 108.25% plus accrued and unpaid interest. The optional prepayment subsequent to an equity offering constitutes an embedded derivative and is bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for separately. The embedded derivative is recorded at fair value at inception and on an ongoing basis, with any changes in fair value from inception recorded in earnings. The fair value of the embedded derivative at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $0 and $13.2 million , respectively. The fair value of the embedded derivative at June 30, 2017 was $0 due to a minimal probability of an equity offering occurring where the proceeds are used to pay down the Notes prior to the expiration of the optional prepayment time period on August 15, 2018. At December 31, 2016, the fair value of the embedded derivative was included in the balance sheet as non-current other liabilities. The change in fair value in the amount of $0 and $13.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, was included in the statements of operations in other income, net. The Company did not have an embedded derivative during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as the Notes were issued in August 2016.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions The Company accounts for its acquisitions under the acquisition method, and accordingly the results of operations of acquired entities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired based on estimated fair values at the acquisition date, with the excess of purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Purchase accounting adjustments associated with the intangible asset valuations have been recorded as of June 30, 2017. The fair value of acquired intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships, was estimated by applying a discounted cash flow model. That measure is based on significant Level 3 inputs not observable in the market. Key assumptions were developed based on the Company’s historical experience, future projections and comparable market data include future cash flows, long-term growth rates, implied royalty rates, attrition rates and discount rates. The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions set forth below are preliminary and subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the applicable acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date for the acquisitions summarized above ("2017 acquisitions") (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Assets acquired: Cash $ 1,511 Accounts receivable 11,425 Other receivables 844 Inventories 7,945 Prepaid and other current assets 237 Property and equipment 5,433 Goodwill 20,086 Intangible assets 12,567 Other assets 23 Total assets acquired: 60,071 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable (4,787 ) Accrued expenses and other current liabilities (814 ) Total liabilities assumed (5,601 ) Total net assets acquired $ 54,470 The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition. Goodwill attributable to the acquisitions has been recorded as a non-current asset and is not amortized, but is subject to review at least on an annual basis for impairment. Goodwill recognized was primarily attributable to expected operating efficiencies and expansion opportunities in the businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized from the acquisition are expected to be tax deductible, and each of the 2017 acquisitions was treated as an asset purchase for tax purposes. Generally, the most significant intangible asset acquired is customer relationships. The Company's acquisitions are generally subject to working capital adjustments, however, the Company does not expect any such adjustments to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The pro forma impact of these acquisitions is not presented as they are not considered material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Notes are senior secured obligations that have priority over certain collateral of the Issuers and the guarantors of the Notes and are effectively subordinated to the obligations under the ABL Credit Facility in respect of certain other collateral of the Issuers and the guarantors of the Notes. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by Alpha and each of Alpha's domestic wholly owned restricted subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) (the "guarantors"). The Notes will mature on August 15, 2021 and bear interest at an annual rate of 8.25% . Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in February and August of each year. The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated August 9, 2016, among the Issuers, the guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the "Indenture"). The Issuers may, at their option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time on or after August 15, 2018 at the applicable redemption prices specified in the Indenture, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.

The ABL Credit Facility bears interest, at the Company’s option, at either a Eurodollar rate or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. Based on the historical excess availability under the ABL Credit Facility, the margin can range from 1.25% to 1.75% per annum in the case of Eurodollar rate loans and 0.25% to 0.75% per annum in the case of alternate base rate loans. The available borrowing capacity, or borrowing base, is derived from a percentage of the Company’s eligible receivables and inventory in both the United States and Canada, as defined in the ABL Credit Facility, subject to certain reserves, with a $75 million sub-limit on the Canadian borrowing base. As of the closing of the ABL Credit Facility, the available borrowing capacity was $250 million . A variable commitment fee, ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% and currently 0.25% per annum, is charged on the unused amount of the ABL Credit Facility based on quarterly average loan utilization. Letters of credit under the ABL Credit Facility are assessed at a rate equal to the applicable Eurodollar margin currently 1.50% as well as a fronting fee at a rate of 0.125% per annum. These fees are payable quarterly in arrears at the end of March, June, September, and December. In addition, an administrative agent fee of $75,000 for the ABL Credit Facility is due and payable each year in quarterly installments on the last day of each quarter. The ABL Credit Facility is a senior secured obligation of the Company, with priority over certain collateral of the Company and its subsidiaries. There are no prepayment premiums associated with the ABL Credit Facility. On September 23, 2016, the Company entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment which extended borrowing commitments under the ABL Credit Facility by an additional $50 million , resulting in total borrowing capacity of $300 million .

The Company reviews all claims, proceedings and investigations at least quarterly and establishes or adjusts any accruals for such matters to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. All legal costs associated with such matters are expensed as incurred. Historically, the claims, proceedings and investigations brought against the Company, individually and in the aggregate, have not had a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, derivative instruments, accounts payable, long-term debt and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable, trade payables and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity. The Company may adjust the carrying amount of certain non-financial assets to fair value on a non-recurring basis when they are impaired. The estimated carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments and other assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2017 is as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2017 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Fair Value Recurring: Non-current assets Derivative asset (Note 3) $ — $ 79 $ — $ 79 The estimated carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments and other assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2016 is as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2016 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Fair Value Recurring: Non-current assets (liabilities) Derivative asset (Note 3) $ — $ 2,475 $ — $ 2,475 Derivative liability (Note 3) $ — $ (13,250 ) $ — $ (13,250 ) The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs including interest rates and exchange rates to generate continuous yield or pricing curves and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities include adjustments for market liquidity, counterparty credit quality and other instrument-specific factors, where appropriate. In addition, the Company incorporates within its fair value measurements a valuation adjustment to reflect the credit risk associated with the net position. Positions are netted by counterparties, and fair value for net long exposures is adjusted for counterparty credit risk while the fair value for net short exposures is adjusted for the Company’s own credit risk.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	Segments Segment information is presented in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting , which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about customers, products and geographic areas. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities that earn revenues, incur expenses and prepare separate financial information that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s CODM in order to allocate resources and assess performance. Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the CODM. Based on the provisions of ASC 280, the Company has defined its operating segments by considering management structure and product offerings. This evaluation resulted in the following reportable segments: • Specialty Building Products—SBP distributes wallboard and accessories, metal framing, suspended ceiling systems and other products. Other products include stucco and exterior insulation and finish systems, as well as complementary offerings, such as tools, safety accessories and fasteners. The primary end markets served are new non-residential, new residential and non-residential repair and remodel construction markets. • Mechanical Insulation—MI distributes and fabricates commercial and industrial insulation for pipes and mechanical systems and the primary end markets served are new non-residential construction, non-residential repair and remodel construction and industrial markets. In addition to the two reportable segments, the Company’s consolidated results include corporate activities and depreciation and amortization. For purposes of evaluation under these segment reporting principles, the CODM assesses the Company’s ongoing performance based on the periodic review of net sales and gross profit. The Company has not disclosed asset information by segment as its CODM does not use such information for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.

ASU 2015-11 requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value (i.e., selling price less reasonable completion and disposal costs), rather than at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 , and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 and the adoption thereof did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . This ASU is intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, including the income tax effects of share-based payments and accounting for forfeitures. This guidance will require recognizing the Company’s excess tax benefits on share-based compensation arrangements in the tax provision, instead of in equity as under the current guidance. In addition, these amounts will be classified as an operating activity rather than a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017 and the adoption thereof did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. However, the adoption of this guidance will result in excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to the exercise of share-based compensation awards to employees being included in the determination of the Company’s income tax provision, which could significantly impact the Company’s consolidated net income in future periods. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous, industry-specific requirements. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. The ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additional ASUs have been issued to amend or clarify the guidance in this ASU as follows: • ASU No. 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients was issued in May 2016. ASU No. 2016-12 amends the new revenue recognition standard to clarify the guidance on assessing collectability, presenting sales taxes, measuring noncash consideration, and certain transition matters. • ASU No. 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing was issued in April 2016. ASU No. 2016-10 addresses implementation issues identified by the FASB-International Accounting Standards Board Joint Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition. • ASU No. 2016-08 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) was issued in March 2016. ASU No. 2016-08 requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise to provide goods or services to a customer is performed in a principal or agent capacity and to recognize revenue in a gross or net manner based on its principal/agent designation. The guidance in these ASUs is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 , including interim periods within that reporting period, and early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 . The Company is continuing its evaluation of the impact of this standard and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements; however, this expectation is subject to change. The adoption of this guidance will likely result in additional disclosures regarding the Company's revenue recognition polices. The Company currently plans to adopt this new guidance using the modified retrospective method. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instrum ents – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The updated guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments by modifying how entities measure and recognize equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities, and by simplifying the disclosure guidance for financial instruments. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU No. 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either "finance" or "operating," with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This update requires a modified retrospective transition as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 , and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU No. 2016-15 amended the existing accounting standards for the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 , and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill but rather requires an entity to record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value. This amendment is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
