| Summary Of Major Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation . We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to instructions for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which we are required to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). These financial statements reflect all adjustments that we believe are necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2017 and our results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results. Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oceaneering International, Inc. and our 50% or more owned and controlled subsidiaries. We also consolidate entities that are determined to be variable interest entities if we determine that we are the primary beneficiary; otherwise, we account for those entities using the equity method of accounting. We use the equity method to account for our investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies of which we own an equity interest of between 20% and 50% and as to which we have significant influence, but not control, over operations. We use the cost method for all other long-term investments. Investments in entities that we do not consolidate are reflected on our balance sheet in Other non-current assets. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that our management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of investment. Accounts Receivable – Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. We determine the need for allowances for doubtful accounts using the specific identification method. We do not generally require collateral from our customers. Inventory . Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine cost using the weighted-average method. Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Intangible Assets. We provide for depreciation of property and equipment on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. We charge the costs of repair and maintenance of property and equipment to operations as incurred, while we capitalize the costs of improvements that extend asset lives or functionality. Upon the disposition of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved and any resulting gain or loss is included as an adjustment to cost of services and products. Intangible assets, primarily acquired in connection with business combinations, include trade names, intellectual property and customer relationships and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. We capitalize interest on assets where the construction period is anticipated to be more than three months. We capitalized $1.0 million and $0.9 million of interest in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. We do not allocate general administrative costs to capital projects. Our management periodically, and upon the occurrence of a triggering event, reviews the realizability of our property and equipment and long-lived intangible assets to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, we base our evaluation on impairment indicators such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefits of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements and other external market conditions or factors that may be present. If such impairment indicators are present or other factors exist that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, we determine whether an impairment has occurred through the use of an undiscounted cash flows analysis of the asset at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. If an impairment has occurred, we recognize a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. For assets held for sale or disposal, the fair value of the asset is measured using fair market value less cost to sell. Assets are classified as held-for-sale when we have a plan for disposal of certain assets and those assets meet the held for sale criteria. Business Acquisitions . We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, and, in each case, we allocate the acquisition price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair market values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill. Under existing GAAP at December 31, 2016, in our annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment, we first assessed qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances led to a determination that it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, we were required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. We tested the goodwill attributable to each of our reporting units for impairment as of December 31, 2016 and concluded that there was no impairment. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04 "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." This update simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The amendments in this update are effective beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for testing dates after January 1, 2017, and the update is to be applied on a prospective basis. We have adopted this update effective January 1, 2017. In addition to our annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment, upon the occurrence of a triggering event, we review our goodwill to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Foreign Currency Translation. The functional currency for several of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and the resulting translation adjustments are recognized, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders' equity. All foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized currently in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. New Accounting Standards. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, " Revenue from Contracts with Customers ." ASU 2014-09, as amended, completes the joint effort by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2014-09 applies to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is not permitted before periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and we have elected to apply ASU 2014-09 by recognizing the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 at the date of initial application and not adjusting comparative information. We have formed a project team to implement this standard. Our project team has completed its planning work and performed an initial assessment of our revenue streams relevant to the standard. We believe that our plan will enable us to complete all of the required work to assess our revenue position, create the necessary policies, procedures and controls and calculate the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 at the date of initial application, in line with the timeline and requirements of the standard. We expect to be able to provide a preliminary qualitative assessment of the effects of the impacts of ASU 2014-09 on our existing contracts in our next quarterly reporting period. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Inventory – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." ASU 2015-11 requires companies to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than at the lower of cost or market. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. We have adopted this guidance for our inventories beginning January 1, 2017, as required. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes." Current U.S. GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. The update requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for our financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. We adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2016. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." This update: • requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income; • simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment — when a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value; • eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; • requires entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; • requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; • requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and • clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2018. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements of ASU 2016-01 on our consolidated financial statements and future disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." This update requires reporting entities to separate the lease components from the non-lease components in a contract and recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for substantially all lease arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2016-02 and have not yet determined its impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation – Stock Compensation – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." This update simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. In addition, the update allows an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The element of the update that will have the most impact on our financial statements will be income tax consequences. See Note 6 "Income Taxes" for the effect this update has had on our income taxes in 2017. Excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies on share-based compensation awards are now included in our tax provision within our condensed consolidated statement of operations as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur, rather than (as was the previous accounting treatment) recording in additional paid-in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have also elected to continue our current policy of estimating forfeitures of share-based compensation awards at the time of grant and revising in subsequent periods to reflect actual forfeitures. In our consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 , we have reclassified two items to conform with the presentation specified under ASU 2016-09: (1) we have reclassified the effect related to the tax deficiency associated with share-based compensation from financing activities to operating activities; and (2) we have reclassified the amounts related to withholding tax payments from operating activities to financing activities. Other than these two cash flow items applied retrospectively, we have implemented ASU 2016-09 prospectively beginning January 1, 2017. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This update was issued to clarify a diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows and addresses eight specific cash flow issues, with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. One of the items addressed affects how we previously treated cash proceeds received from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies. These proceeds are now classified in our statement of cash flows as cash inflows from investing activities. Previously, we classified these proceeds as cash inflows from operating activities. We adopted ASU 2016-15 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and this update did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory." Current U.S. GAAP generally prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The amendments in this update will eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. Two common examples of assets included within the scope of this update are intellectual property and property, plant, and equipment. The exception for an intra-entity transfer of inventory will remain in place. The amendments in this update are effective for us beginning January 1, 2018. We do not anticipate that this update will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |
