Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (together, “Twenty-First Century Fox” or the “Company”) is a diversified global media and entertainment company, which currently manages and reports its businesses in the following four segments: Cable Network Programming, Television, Filmed Entertainment and Other, Corporate and Eliminations. The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Twenty-First Century Fox have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. These interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 14, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”). The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Twenty-First Century Fox. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees Investments in and advances to entities or joint ventures in which the Company has significant influence, but less than a controlling voting interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company has no significant influence are designated as available-for-sale investments if readily determinable market values are available. If an investment’s fair value is not readily determinable, the Company accounts for its investment at cost. The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Certain fiscal 2017 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements relates to the Company’s continuing operations. The Company has reclassified certain fiscal 2017 amounts for development and certain other costs from Selling, general and administrative to Operating expenses within the Consolidated Statement of Operations to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation. These reclassifications did not affect previously reported Revenue, Income from continuing operations before income tax expense or Net income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Adopted In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendments in ASU 2016-09 simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. On July 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09. In accordance with ASU 2016-09, the Company will prospectively recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in Income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. In the statement of cash flows, all excess tax benefits are presented retrospectively in Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations. In addition, the Company retrospectively adopted the guidance that requires cash paid by the Company when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes to be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 resulted in an increase in Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations and a corresponding increase in Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations in the Statement of Cash Flows for fiscal 2017. The other aspects of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. On July 1, 2017, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-07, “Compensation–Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to report the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. ASU 2017-07 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Issued In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”). The objective of ASU 2017-12 is to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. In addition, ASU 2017-12 simplifies the assessment of hedge effectiveness. ASU 2017-12 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2017-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements. |

Acquisitions Disposals And Other Transactions [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions | NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSALS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS The Company’s acquisitions support the Company’s strategic priority of increasing its brand presence and reach in key domestic and international markets and acquiring greater control of investments that complement its portfolio of businesses. Fiscal 2018 Announced Acquisitions Sky In December 2016, the Company announced it reached agreement with Sky plc (“Sky”), in which the Company currently has an approximate 39% interest, on the terms of a recommended pre-conditional cash offer by the Company for the fully diluted share capital of Sky which the Company does not already own, at a price of £10.75 per Sky share (approximately $16 billion in the aggregate) (the “Sky Acquisition”). The independent committee of Sky’s Board of Directors announced that it intends to unanimously recommend that unaffiliated Sky shareholders vote in favor of the Sky Acquisition. The Sky Acquisition remains subject to certain customary closing conditions, including approval by the UK Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and the requisite approval of Sky shareholders unaffiliated with the Company. The Sky Acquisition has received unconditional clearance by all competent competition authorities including the European Commission, and has been cleared on public interest and plurality grounds in all of the markets in which Sky operates outside of the UK, including Austria, Germany, Italy and the Republic of Ireland. Subject to satisfaction of the outstanding conditions and any further delays in the UK decision-making process, the Sky Acquisition is expected to close by June 30, 2018. Also in December 2016, the Company entered into a co-operation agreement with Sky (the “Co-Operation Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and Sky agreed to take certain steps to facilitate completion of the Sky Acquisition. The Co-Operation Agreement provides for a £200 million (approximately $270 million) break fee payable by the Company in the event that regulatory approvals are not obtained prior to August 15, 2018, or in certain other circumstances described in the Co-Operation Agreement. To provide financing in connection with the Sky Acquisition, the Company and 21st Century Fox America, Inc. (“21CFA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a bridge credit agreement with the lenders party thereto (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”). The Bridge Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to £12.2 billion (approximately $16 billion). Fees under the Bridge Credit Agreement are based on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt ratings. Given the current debt ratings, 21CFA pays a commitment fee on undrawn funds of 0.1% and the initial interest rate on advances will be London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.125% with subsequent increases every 90 days up to LIBOR plus 1.875%. 21CFA has also agreed to pay a duration fee on each of the 90th, 180th and 270th day after the funding of the loans in an amount equal to 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1.00%, respectively, of the aggregate principal amount of the advances and undrawn commitments outstanding at the time. The terms of the Bridge Credit Agreement also include the requirement that 21CFA maintain a certain leverage ratio and limitations with respect to secured indebtedness. While the Company has entered into the Bridge Credit Agreement, the Company intends to finance the Sky Acquisition by using a significant portion of the available cash on its balance sheet and obtaining permanent financing in the capital markets. The Company purchased a foreign currency exchange option in February 2017, which was subsequently modified in September 2017, to limit its foreign currency exchange rate risk in connection with the Sky Acquisition. (See Note 5 – Fair Value under the heading “Foreign Currency Contracts” and Note 11 – Additional Financial Information under the heading “Other, net” for additional information). The Company believes the Sky Acquisition will result in enhanced capabilities of the combined company, underpinned by a more geographically diverse and stable revenue base, and an improved balance between subscription, affiliate fee, advertising and content revenues. Other In February 2017, the Company announced that it anticipated receiving approximately $350 million in proceeds resulting from the Federal Communications Commission’s (the “FCC”) completed reverse auction for broadcast spectrum. Consequently, the Company will relinquish spectrum used by its television stations affiliated with both The CW Television Network and Master Distribution Service, Inc. (“MyNetworkTV”) in Chicago, IL and MyNetworkTV in the Washington, DC and Charlotte, NC designated market areas, in which the Company operates duopolies. These stations will continue broadcasting using the spectrum of the existing FOX Broadcasting Company (“FOX”) owned and operated station in that market. The proceeds were received in July 2017 and the Company recorded a deferred gain on this transaction which will be recognized upon relinquishing the spectrum to the FCC. |

For a period of up to 36 months, under certain limited circumstances arising from regulatory review, the new investor may put its shares to Hulu or Hulu may call the shares from the new investor. If Hulu is required to fund the repurchase of shares from the new investor, the Company has agreed to make an additional capital contribution of up to approximately $300 million to Hulu. The Company has committed to an additional investment of approximately $200 million in fiscal 2018, of which approximately $100 million was funded in August 2017. The remaining amount was funded subsequent to September 30, 2017. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE In accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” fair value measurements are required to be disclosed using a three-tiered fair value hierarchy which distinguishes market participant assumptions into the following categories: (i) inputs that are quoted prices in active markets (“Level 1”); (ii) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities (“Level 2”); and (iii) inputs that require the entity to use its own assumptions about market participant assumptions (“Level 3”). The tables below present information about financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurements As of September 30, 2017 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in millions) Assets Investments (a) $ 160 $ 160 $ - $ - Derivatives (b) 133 - 133 - Other (c) 61 - - 61 Redeemable noncontrolling interests (699 ) - - (699 ) Total $ (345 ) $ 160 $ 133 $ (638 ) As of June 30, 2017 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in millions) Assets Derivatives (b) $ 48 $ - $ 48 $ - Other (c) 43 - - 43 Liabilities Derivatives (b) (9 ) - (9 ) - Redeemable noncontrolling interests (694 ) - - (694 ) Total $ (612 ) $ - $ 39 $ (651 ) (a) Represents an available-for-sale security. (b) Represents derivatives associated with the Company’s foreign currency forward and option contracts and interest rate swap contracts. (c) Primarily relates to past acquisitions, including contingent consideration arrangements. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests The Company accounts for redeemable noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480-10-S99-3A”), because their exercise is outside the control of the Company. The redeemable noncontrolling interests recorded at fair value are put arrangements held by the noncontrolling interests in certain of the Company’s majority-owned sports networks. The Company utilizes the market, income or cost approaches or a combination of these valuation techniques for its Level 3 fair value measures, using observable inputs such as market data obtained from independent sources. To the extent observable inputs are not available, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based upon the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the asset (liability). Two minority shareholders’ put rights will become exercisable in March 2018 and one minority shareholder’s put right will become exercisable in July 2018. The remaining redeemable noncontrolling interests are currently not exercisable. Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and cost method investments, approximates fair value. As of September 30, 2017 As of June 30, 2017 (in millions) Borrowings Fair value $ 23,846 $ 23,853 Carrying value $ 19,849 $ 19,913 Fair value is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market (a Level 1 measurement). Foreign Currency Contracts The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts primarily to hedge certain exposures to foreign currency exchange rate risks associated with revenues and the cost of producing or acquiring films and television programming. The Company also entered into a foreign currency option contract to limit its foreign currency exchange rate risk in connection with the Sky Acquisition. For accounting purposes, the option contract does not qualify for hedge accounting and therefore has been treated as an economic hedge (See Note 2 – Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions under the heading “Sky”). As of September 30, 2017 As of June 30, 2017 (in millions) Cash Flow Hedges Notional amount $ 214 $ 209 Fair value $ 7 $ - For foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, the Company expects to reclassify the cumulative changes in fair values, included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, within the next two years.

The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions which are counterparties to its financial instruments. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. As of September 30, 2017, the Company did not anticipate nonperformance by any of the counterparties. |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments The Company has commitments under certain firm contractual arrangements (“firm commitments”) to make future payments. These firm commitments secure the future rights to various assets and services to be used in the normal course of operations. The total firm commitments and future debt payments as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 were approximately $83 billion and $82 billion, respectively. The increase from June 30, 2017 was primarily due to a new agreement for the Indian Premier League's (“IPL”) Global Media and Digital cricket broadcast rights for the five-year period from 2018 to 2022 partially offset by payments related to sports programming rights. In addition, the Company has made an offer to purchase the fully diluted share capital of Sky which the Company does not already own (See Note 2 – Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions under the heading “Sky”). Contingent Guarantees The Company’s contingent guarantees as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 were approximately $1.1 billion and $500 million, respectively. The increase from June 30, 2017 was primarily due to a bank guarantee covering the Company’s new IPL programming rights obligations. Hulu The Company has guaranteed $113 million of Hulu’s $338 million five-year term loan due in August 2022 which is included in the contingent guarantees above. The fair value of this guarantee was calculated using Level 3 inputs and was included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other liabilities. In addition to the contingent guarantees mentioned above, the Company is party to a capital funding agreement related to Hulu (See Note 4 – Investments under the heading “Hulu”). Contingencies Fox News Channel The Company and certain of its current and former employees have been subject to allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination and racial discrimination relating to alleged misconduct at the Company’s Fox News Channel business. The Company has settled some of these claims and is contesting other claims in litigation. To date, none of the amounts paid in settlements or reserved for pending or future claims, is individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company. The Company has also received regulatory and investigative inquiries relating to these matters and stockholder demands to inspect the books and records of the Company which could lead to future litigation. Due to the early stage of these matters, the amount of liability, if any, that may result from these or related matters cannot be estimated at this time. However, the Company does not currently anticipate that the ultimate resolution of any such pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, future results of operations or liquidity. Since July 2016, the CEO of Fox News Channel resigned and there have been other significant changes in the management of the business unit. In addition, the network’s primetime lineup has significantly changed which could have a negative impact on our ratings. U.K. Newspaper Matters Indemnity In connection with the Separation (as defined in Note 4 – Discontinued Operations in the 2017 Form 10-K under the heading “Separation of News Corp”), the Company and News Corporation (“News Corp”) agreed in the Separation and Distribution Agreement that the Company will indemnify News Corp, on an after-tax basis, for payments made after the Separation arising out of civil claims and investigations relating to phone hacking, illegal data access and inappropriate payments to public officials that occurred at subsidiaries of News Corp, as well as legal and professional fees and expenses paid in connection with the related criminal matters, other than fees, expenses and costs relating to employees who are not (i) directors, officers or certain designated employees or (ii) with respect to civil matters, co-defendants with News Corp (the “Indemnity”). The liability related to the Indemnity, recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was approximately $60 million and $80 million as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. Other Equity purchase arrangements that are exercisable by the counter-party to the agreement, and that are outside the sole control of the Company, are accounted for in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and are classified as Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other than the arrangements classified as Redeemable noncontrolling interests, the Company is also a party to several other purchase and sale arrangements which become exercisable at various points in time. However, these arrangements are currently either not exercisable in the next twelve months or are not material. The Company establishes an accrued liability for legal claims when the Company determines that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, accruals are adjusted from time to time, as appropriate, in light of additional information. The amount of any loss ultimately incurred in relation to matters for which an accrual has been established may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued for such matters. Any fees, expenses, fines, penalties, judgments or settlements which might be incurred by the Company in connection with the various proceedings could affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. For the contingencies disclosed above for which there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, other than the accrual provided, the Company was unable to estimate the amount of loss or range of loss. The Company’s operations are subject to tax in various domestic and international jurisdictions and as a matter of course, the Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Company believes it has appropriately accrued for the expected outcome of all pending tax matters and does not currently anticipate that the ultimate resolution of pending tax matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, future results of operations or liquidity. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | NOTE 10. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company is a diversified global media and entertainment company, which manages and reports its businesses in the following four segments: • Cable Network Programming , which principally consists of the production and licensing of programming distributed primarily through cable television systems, direct broadcast satellite operators, telecommunication companies and online video distributors in the U.S. and internationally. • Television , which principally consists of the broadcasting of network programming in the U.S. and the operation of 28 full power broadcast television stations, including 11 duopolies, in the U.S. (of these stations, 17 are affiliated with FOX, nine are affiliated with MyNetworkTV, one is affiliated with both The CW Television Network and MyNetworkTV and one is an independent station). • Filmed Entertainment , which principally consists of the production and acquisition of live-action and animated motion pictures for distribution and licensing in all formats in all entertainment media worldwide, and the production and licensing of television programming worldwide. • Other, Corporate and Eliminations , which principally consists of corporate overhead and eliminations. The Company’s operating segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The Company evaluates performance based upon several factors, of which the primary financial measure is Segment OIBDA. Due to the integrated nature of these operating segments, estimates and judgments are made in allocating certain assets, revenues and expenses. Segment OIBDA is defined as Revenues less Operating expenses and Selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment OIBDA does not include: Amortization of cable distribution investments, Depreciation and amortization, Impairment and restructuring charges, Equity earnings of affiliates, Interest expense, net, Interest income, Other, net, Income tax expense, Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax and Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Management believes that Segment OIBDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company’s business segments because it is the primary measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to the Company’s businesses. Management believes that information about Total Segment OIBDA assists all users of the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of the Company’s portfolio of businesses separate from non-operational factors that affect net income, thus providing insight into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results. Total Segment OIBDA provides management, investors and equity analysts a measure to analyze the operating performance of the Company’s business and its enterprise value against historical data and competitors’ data, although historical results, including Segment OIBDA and Total Segment OIBDA, may not be indicative of future results (as operating performance is highly contingent on many factors, including customer tastes and preferences). Total Segment OIBDA may be considered a non-GAAP measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income, cash flow and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this measure does not reflect cash available to fund requirements and excludes items, such as depreciation and amortization and impairment charges, which are significant components in assessing the Company’s financial performance. The following table reconciles Income from continuing operations before income tax expense to Total Segment OIBDA for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016: For the three months ended September 30, 2017 2016 (in millions) Income from continuing operations before income tax expense $ 1,295 $ 1,237 Add Amortization of cable distribution investments 18 15 Depreciation and amortization 142 135 Impairment and restructuring charges 21 137 Equity earnings of affiliates (60 ) (35 ) Interest expense, net 313 300 Interest income (10 ) (9 ) Other, net 72 11 Total Segment OIBDA $ 1,791 $ 1,791 The following tables set forth the Company’s Revenues and Segment OIBDA for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016: For the three months ended September 30, 2017 2016 (in millions) Revenues Cable Network Programming $ 4,196 $ 3,810 Television 1,065 1,038 Filmed Entertainment 1,963 1,907 Other, Corporate and Eliminations (222 ) (249 ) Total revenues $ 7,002 $ 6,506 Segment OIBDA Cable Network Programming $ 1,511 $ 1,384 Television 122 191 Filmed Entertainment 256 311 Other, Corporate and Eliminations (98 ) (95 ) Total Segment OIBDA $ 1,791 $ 1,791 Intersegment revenues, generated by the Filmed Entertainment segment, of $195 million and $233 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, have been eliminated within the Other, Corporate and Eliminations segment.

(2) The guarantees of 21CFA’s senior public indebtedness constitute senior indebtedness of the Company, and rank pari passu with all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company. Because the factual basis underlying the obligations created pursuant to the various facilities and other obligations constituting senior indebtedness of the Company differ, it is not possible to predict how a court in bankruptcy would accord priorities among the obligations of the Company. 1 |
Summary of Significant Accounti
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 3 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2017 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Twenty-First Century Fox. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including the intercompany portion of transactions with equity method investees |
Investments | Investments in and advances to entities or joint ventures in which the Company has significant influence, but less than a controlling voting interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company has no significant influence are designated as available-for-sale investments if readily determinable market values are available. If an investment’s fair value is not readily determinable, the Company accounts for its investment at cost. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates. |
Reclassifications and Adjustments | Certain fiscal 2017 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements relates to the Company’s continuing operations. The Company has reclassified certain fiscal 2017 amounts for development and certain other costs from Selling, general and administrative to Operating expenses within the Consolidated Statement of Operations to conform to the fiscal 2018 presentation. These reclassifications did not affect previously reported Revenue, Income from continuing operations before income tax expense or Net income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. |
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance | Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Adopted In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendments in ASU 2016-09 simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. On July 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09. In accordance with ASU 2016-09, the Company will prospectively recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in Income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. In the statement of cash flows, all excess tax benefits are presented retrospectively in Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations. In addition, the Company retrospectively adopted the guidance that requires cash paid by the Company when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes to be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 resulted in an increase in Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations and a corresponding increase in Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations in the Statement of Cash Flows for fiscal 2017. The other aspects of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. On July 1, 2017, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-07, “Compensation–Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 requires an employer to report the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. ASU 2017-07 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Issued In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”). The objective of ASU 2017-12 is to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. In addition, ASU 2017-12 simplifies the assessment of hedge effectiveness. ASU 2017-12 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2017-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. The Company has deposits held with banks that exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and, therefore, bear minimal credit risk. The Company’s receivables did not represent significant concentrations of credit risk as of September 30, 2017 or June 30, 2017 due to the wide variety of customers, markets and geographic areas to which the Company’s products and services are sold. The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions which are counterparties to its financial instruments. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. As of September 30, 2017, the Company did not anticipate nonperformance by any of the counterparties. |
Receivables, Net | Receivables are presented net of an allowance for returns and doubtful accounts, which is an estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. |
