Why did we need a new Revenue Recognition Standard?

GAAP had over 200 separate pieces of guidance on how to recognize revenue

Industry specific guidance was producing inconsistent results for economically similar

transactions

Software licensing

Construction

Technology

Guidance was voluminous, fragmented and

complex

Old GAAP – realized or realizable

Slide6

Five-Step Approach

Slide7

Contract: an agreement that creates enforceable rights and obligationsCriteriaApproval and commitment of the parties – written or oralIdentification of rights and payment terms – matter of lawCommercial substance – amount of future cash flow is expected to changeCollectability is probable at inception – customer’s ability to pay

Step 1: Identify the Contract

7

Slide8

Performance obligation: a promise in a contract to transfer a good or serviceThis step will require most of the analysisCriteriaDistinct good or serviceSeries of substantially similar distinct goods or services that have the same pattern of transfer

Step 2: Identify Performance Obligations

8

Slide9

A good or service is distinct if both criteria are met:Benefits the customer on its own 2. Separately identifiable from other promises Isn’t used as an input to produce a combined output Contract to build a building would likely be treated as one distinct performance obligation. Although there are many inputs and unique services/goods that are performed (demolition, foundation, framing, finish) each phase of construction is intended to produce one combined output – the office building.Isn’t highly dependent or interrelated with other goods or services in the contract

Step 2: Identify Performance Obligations

Slide10

Manufacturers of consumer products commonly pay retailers fees to have their goods displayed prominently on store shelves (‘slotting fees’), or will pay an up-front fee to customer to obtain a new contract (‘pay to play’)Current GAAP (ASC 605): Amounts generally reduce revenue

Example - Slotting Fees/Pay to play

10

Slide11

New GAAP (ASC 606): Such slotting or pay to play fees do not provide a distinct good or service to the manufacturer (step 2) as the manufacturer cannot sell the slotting fees separately, and would not obtain any rights or receive benefits without selling products to the retailer. The slotting fee should be treated as a reduction of the transaction price.

Example - Slotting Fees/Pay to play (cont.)

Slide12

Transaction price: amount of consideration which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or servicesComplex areas:Variable consideration and related constraintsRight of return

Step 3: Determine Transaction Price

12

Slide13

Variable consideration - The transaction price might include an element of consideration that is variable or contingent on the outcome of future events, including (but not limited to):Discounts, rebates, coupons, price concessions, refunds, returns, credits, incentives, performance bonuses, and royalties.Two methods for estimation: Most likely amountExpected Value

Step 3: Determine Transaction Price

13

Slide14

Variable consideration is included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognizedConsider likelihood and magnitude in determining constraintsEstimated transaction price is reassessed at the end of each reporting period through end of contract

Step 3: Determine Transaction Price

14

Slide15

Manufacturers may provide incentives to their customers through volume discounts. These discounts can take different forms, such as tiered pricing (e.g., discounted pricing on future purchases over a certain volume level) or a discount that applies to all purchases under the agreement (e.g., discounted pricing on a retrospective basis once a certain volume level is met). Current GAAP (ASC 605): Sales incentives offered to customers are typically recorded as a reduction of revenue at the later of the date at which the related sale is recorded by the vendor or the date at which the sales incentive is offered.

Example #1 - Volume Discounts

15

Slide16

New GAAP (ASC 606): Prospective discount (i.e. tiered pricing) - Generally, if a volume rebate or discount is applied prospectively, the rebate or discount would be accounted for as a customer option (not variable consideration). This is because the consideration for the goods or services in the present contract is not contingent upon or affected by any future purchases. Rather, the discounts available from the rebate program affect the price of future purchases. Retrospective discount (i.e. discount applied once volume is met) – Generally, a volume rebate or discount that is applied retrospectively will be accounted for as variable consideration. This is because the final price of each good or service sold depends on the customer’s total purchases subject to the rebate program. That is, the consideration is contingent upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events. Entities will need to evaluate whether the volume rebate or discount provides the customer with an option to purchase goods or services in the future at a discount that represents a material right (and is therefore accounted for as a performance obligation).

Example #1 - Volume Discounts (cont.)

Slide17

In-store demonstrations could be included in a contract which requires consideration payable to a customer. Current GAAP (ASC 605): Sales incentives offered to customers are typically recorded as a reduction of revenue at the later of the date at which the related sale is recorded by the vendor or the date at which the sales incentive is offered. New GAAP (ASC 606): An entity needs to determine the transaction price, which is the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. Consideration payable by an entity to a customer is accounted for as a reduction of the transaction price unless the payment is for a distinct good or service that the customer transfers to the entity.

Example #2 - Demonstrations

Slide18

Current GAAP (ASC 605): Revenue is recognized at the time of sale if future returns can be reasonably estimated. Returns are estimated based on historical experience with an allowance recorded against sales. Revenue is not recognized until the return right lapses if an entity is unable to estimate potential returns. New GAAP (ASC 606): Entities will recognize the amount of consideration received or receivable that is expected to be returned as a refund liability, representing their obligation to return the customer’s consideration. Entities will also recognize a return asset (and adjust cost of sales) for the right to recover the goods returned by the customer. They will initially measure this asset at the former carrying amount of the inventory, less any expected costs to recover the goods, including potential decreases in value of the goods expected to be returned. At each reporting date, they will remeasure the refund liability and update the measurement of the asset recorded for any revisions to the expected level of returns, as well as any additional decreases in the value of the products expected to be returned. Presentation - The standard requires the carrying value of the return asset to be presented separately from inventory and subject to impairment testing on its own, separately from inventory on hand. The standard also requires the refund liability to be presented separately from the corresponding asset (on a gross basis rather than a net basis).

Example # 3 - Rights of Return

18

Slide19

Assume Apparel Co. offers its customers the right to return anyproducts purchased up to 30 days after sale, for any reason. Last Tuesday, Apparel Co.sold 100 red sweaters to different customers. Based on historical experience,Apparel Co. expects 15 of those sweaters to be returned for a full refund. Each sweatersells for $80 and costs Apparel $35 to produce.Apparel Co. would record the following journal entries for the sale of the sweaters andthe expected refund liability and corresponding asset.Cash

Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basisOne performance obligation – simpleMultiple performance obligations – more complex

Step 4: Allocate the Transaction Price

20

Slide21

Standalone selling price is the price at which the entity would sell a good or service to a customerDoesn’t require the good or service to actually be soldBest evidence of standalone selling price is the observable price of a good or service sold separately

Step 4: Allocate the Transaction Price

21

Slide22

If no observable sales, estimate standalone selling price based on the following methods:Top-down approachAdjusted market assessmentBottom-up approachExpected cost plus a margin

Step 4: Allocate the Transaction Price

22

Slide23

An entity recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring the goods or services to a customer An asset (good or service) is considered transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of the asset

Step 5: Recognize the Revenue

23

Slide24

Recognize revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfiedTwo methods:At a point in timeOver time

Step 5: Recognize the Revenue

24

Slide25

Revenue is recognized over time if: The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the entity performs; orThe entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls; orThe entity’s performance doesn’t create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and enforceable right to payment exists.

Public EntitiesEffective date - periods beginning after 12/15/17Early adoption beginning after 12/15/16Nonpublic EntitiesEffective date - periods beginning after 12/15/18Early adoption permitted up to the public entity early adoption date

Effective Dates

28

Slide29

Retrospective to each prior period reported with practical expedients:Completed contracts that begin and end in the same annual reporting period do not need to be restatedCompleted contracts with variable consideration, can use the transaction price at the completed contract dateFor reporting periods prior to initial adoption don’t need to disclose the portion of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligationDisclose prior-period information that has been adjusted

Transition – Full Retrospective

29

Slide30

Retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. Any necessary adjustments would be recorded to opening retained earnings on the date of adoption—prior periods wouldn’t be restated.This would involve comparing how those contracts would have been recorded under Topic 606 with how they were actually recorded under legacy GAAP. Must provide additional disclosure in the reporting period of initial applicationDisclose effects of adoption on each FS line itemExplanation for the reasons for any significant changes in financial reporting based on the new standard
