Business and basis of presentation | 1. On January 29, 2017, Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. implemented a holding company reorganization. Pursuant to which Ulta Beauty, Inc., which was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in December 2016, became the successor to Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc., the former publicly-traded company and now a wholly owned subsidiary of Ulta Beauty, Inc. As used in these notes and throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Ulta Beauty,” or the “Company” refer to Ulta Beauty, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company was originally founded in 1990 to operate specialty retail stores selling cosmetics, fragrance, haircare and skincare products, and related accessories and services. The stores also feature full-service salons. As of November 3, 2018, the Company operated 1,163 stores across 50 states, as shown in the table below. Number of Number of Location stores Location stores Alabama 18 Montana 6 Alaska 3 Nebraska 5 Arizona 27 Nevada 14 Arkansas 10 New Hampshire 7 California 149 New Jersey 34 Colorado 24 New Mexico 6 Connecticut 16 New York 45 Delaware 3 North Carolina 30 Florida 81 North Dakota 3 Georgia 35 Ohio 41 Hawaii 3 Oklahoma 20 Idaho 8 Oregon 14 Illinois 55 Pennsylvania 42 Indiana 22 Rhode Island 3 Iowa 10 South Carolina 18 Kansas 12 South Dakota 2 Kentucky 14 Tennessee 24 Louisiana 17 Texas 104 Maine 3 Utah 14 Maryland 21 Vermont 1 Massachusetts 18 Virginia 27 Michigan 46 Washington 31 Minnesota 16 West Virginia 7 Mississippi 9 Wisconsin 20 Missouri 23 Wyoming 2 Total 1,163 The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Article 10, Regulation S-X. These consolidated financial statements were prepared on a consolidated basis to include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions, and unrealized profit were eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The Company’s business is subject to seasonal fluctuation. Significant portions of the Company’s net sales and net income are realized during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year due to the holiday selling season. The results for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending February 2, 2019, or for any other future interim period or for any future year. These interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended February 3, 2018. All amounts are stated in thousands, with the exception of per share amounts and number of stores. |

Summary of significant accounting policies | 2. Information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2, “Summary of significant accounting policies,” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended February 3, 2018. Presented below and in the following notes is supplemental information that should be read in conjunction with “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Annual Report. Fiscal quarter The Company’s quarterly periods are the 13 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31. The Company’s third quarter in fiscal 2018 and 2017 ended on November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. Share-based compensation The Company measures share-based compensation cost on the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. The Company estimated the grant date fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model using the following weighted-average assumptions for the periods indicated: 39 Weeks Ended November 3, October 28, 2018 2017 Volatility rate Average risk-free interest rate Average expected life (in years) Dividend yield None None The Company granted 163 and 106 stock options during the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. The compensation cost charged against operating income for stock options was $2,134 and $2,212 for the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. The compensation cost charged against operating income for stock options was $6,557 and $6,589 for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these stock options was $50.10 and $69.61 for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. At November 3, 2018, there was approximately $19,586 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options. The Company issued 95 and 45 restricted stock units during the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. The compensation cost charged against operating income for restricted stock units was $3,449 and $2,419 for the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. The compensation cost charged against operating income for restricted stock units was $9,244 and $6,872 for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. At November 3, 2018, there was approximately $22,597 of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units. The Company issued 33 and 21 performance-based restricted stock units during the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. The compensation cost charged against operating income for performance-based restricted stock units was $1,904 and $1,618 for the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. The compensation cost charged against operating income for performance-based restricted stock units was $5,083 and $4,437 for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. At November 3, 2018, there was approximately $11,403 of unrecognized compensation expense related to performance-based restricted stock units. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, amounted to $9,084 and $0 at November 3, 2018 and February 3, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized $9,084 of goodwill during the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 related to the acquisitions discussed in Note 3, “Acquisitions.” The Company reviews the recoverability of goodwill annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that impairment may exist. Other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. During the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company recognized $7,066 in intangibles related to the acquisitions discussed in Note 3, “Acquisitions.” The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU 2016-02 and subsequently issued amendments requires lessees to capitalize virtually all leases with terms of more than twelve months on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and recognize an associated lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing or operating leases and their classification impacts the recognition of expense in the income statement. Entities are allowed to apply the modified retrospective approach (1) retrospectively to each comparative period presented or (2) retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. ASU 2016‑02 is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings recorded at the beginning of the period of adoption. Therefore, upon adoption, the Company will recognize and measure leases without revising comparative period information or disclosures. The Company formed a cross-functional project team to assess the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements and is progressing with the implementation plan, which includes identifying the lease population, updating the lease software, and identifying changes to processes and controls. The Company plans to implement the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which among other things, allows for the carryforward of historical lease classifications. The Company will make an accounting policy election to keep leases with terms of twelve months or less off the balance sheet and result in recognizing those lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has determined that the initial lease term will not differ under the new standard versus current accounting practice. The adoption of ASU 2016‑02 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position as there will be approximately 1,200 leased locations at the time of adoption, including the corporate office, stores, and distribution centers, however, the Company is not able to quantify the difference at this time. The Company does not believe adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows. Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, except that the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operation, or cash flows. Intangibles – Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software In August 2018 , the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customers Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which clarifies and aligns the accounting for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014‑09), issued as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). The guidance in ASU 2014-09 and subsequently issued amendments outlines a comprehensive model for all entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers as well as required disclosures. Under the new standard, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration, which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard requires additional disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The Company adopted the new revenue standard effective February 4, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to all contracts with the cumulative effect recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the date of adoption. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of the new revenue standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company expects the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard will be immaterial to net income on an ongoing basis. See Note 4, “Revenue”, for further details. |

Acquisitions | 3. Acquisitions The Company continues to make investments to evolve the customer experience, with a strong emphasis on integrating technology across the business. To support these efforts, the Company paid $13,606 to acquire two technology companies during the third quarter of fiscal 2018. On September 10, 2018, the Company acquired QM Scientific, an artificial intelligence technology company. The acquisition is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. On October 29, 2018, the Company acquired GlamST, an augmented reality technology company. The acquisition is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet finalized the process of measuring the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of November 3, 2018. Accordingly, the fair values reported may change along with a corresponding change in the goodwill recorded. |

Revenue | 4 . Revenue from Contracts with Customers On February 4, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts as of the date of adoption. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings within the consolidated balance sheets. Under ASC 606, changes were made to the recognition timing or classification of revenues and expenses for the following: Description Policy under ASC 605 Policy under ASC 606 Credit card Recognized amounts earned under the private label credit card and co-branded credit card programs as a reduction of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Recognize amounts earned under private label credit card and co-branded credit card programs within net sales. Loyalty program Recognized revenue under the incremental cost method at the time of purchase by the guest (when points were earned). Recorded a liability for the cost associated with the future performance obligation to the guest. Recognize revenue under the deferred revenue method by deferring the recognition of the portion of revenue related to the earning of loyalty points to a future period when the guest redeems the points or the points expire. Gift card breakage Recognized gift card breakage (amounts not expected to be redeemed) within selling, general and administrative expenses. Recognize gift card breakage in net sales proportionately as other gift card balances are redeemed. Sales refund Recognized a sales refund reserve as a net liability within accrued liabilities. Recognize a sales refund reserve on a gross basis as a liability within accrued liabilities and a right of return asset within prepaid expense and other current assets. E-commerce Recognized revenue based on delivery of merchandise to the guest. Recognize revenue upon shipment of merchandise to the guest based on meeting the transfer of control criteria. Upon the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of $29,980, net of tax, as a reduction to the opening balance of retained earnings as of February 4, 2018. The cumulative effect of adoption is primarily related to the change in accounting for the loyalty program. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of the new revenue standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company expects the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard will be immaterial to net income on an ongoing basis. Revenue recognition policies Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the guest, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: · Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a guest; · Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; · Determination of the transaction price; · Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and · Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s net sales include retail stores and e-commerce merchandise sales as well as salon services and other revenue. Revenue from merchandise sales at retail stores is recognized at the point of sale, net of estimated returns. Revenue from e-commerce merchandise sales is recognized upon shipment of the merchandise to the guest based on meeting the transfer of control criteria, net of estimated returns. Shipping and handling are treated as costs to fulfill the contract, and as a result, any fees received from guests are included in the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation of providing goods with a corresponding amount accrued within cost of sales for amounts paid to applicable carriers. The Company provides refunds for merchandise returns within 60 days from the original purchase date. State sales taxes are presented on a net basis as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting state sales tax. Company coupons and other incentives are recorded as a reduction of net sales. Salon services revenue is recognized at the time the service is provided to the guest. Other revenue sources include the private label credit card and co-branded credit card programs, as well as deferred revenue related to the loyalty program and gift card breakage. Credit card program The Company has agreements (the Agreements) with third parties to provide guests with private label credit cards and/or co-branded credit cards (collectively, the Credit Cards). The private label credit card can be used at any store location and online, and the co-branded credit card can be used anywhere the co-branded card is accepted. A third-party financing company is the sole owner of the accounts and underwrites the credit issued under the Credit Card programs. The Company’s performance obligation is to maintain the Ultamate Rewards loyalty program as only guests enrolled in the loyalty program can apply for the Credit Cards. Loyalty members earn points through purchases at Ulta Beauty and anywhere the co-branded credit card is accepted. The third parties pay the Company for the credit card program costs such as advertising and loyalty points, which help promote the credit card program. The Company recognizes revenue when collectability is reasonably assured, under the assumption the amounts are not constrained and it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods, which is generally the time at which the actual usage of the Credit Cards or specified transaction occurs. The Company accounts for the amounts associated with the Agreements as a single contract with the sole commercial objective to maintain the Credit Card programs. As a result, all amounts associated with the Agreements are recognized within net sales on the consolidated statements of income. Consistent with the accounting for the customer loyalty program, the Company defers the value of the Ultamate Rewards points earned at the time of the initial purchase in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets until the points are redeemed or expire. Other administrative costs related to the Credit Card programs, including payroll, marketing expenses, and other direct costs, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income. Loyalty program The Company maintains a customer loyalty program, Ultamate Rewards, in which program members earn points based on purchases of merchandise or services. Points earned by members are valid for at least one year and may be redeemed on any product the Company sells. In the Ultamate Rewards loyalty program there is a contract with the guest that creates enforceable rights and obligations. In exchange for the guest’s consideration (i.e. payment), the guest is granted the right to a certain number of Ultamate Rewards points depending upon the program level and any active promotional multipliers. The points earned are a distinct promise from the original purchase that can be exchanged for future goods, which creates a performance obligation for the Company to provide goods until those points are redeemed or expire. The standalone selling price of the goods or services provided is directly observable, as it is the price paid by the guest for those goods or services at the time of sale. The standalone selling price of the Ultamate Rewards points awarded is not directly observable and as such that amount must be estimated. The Company utilizes the expected retail value to account for Ultamate Rewards points earned and considers the expected redemption rate as part of that calculation. The estimated redemption rate is based on historical experience and other assumptions. The estimates are evaluated on an on-going basis. The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions used to calculate the redemption rates. The Company defers the value of the Ultamate Rewards points earned at the time of the initial purchase in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets until the points are redeemed or expire. Gift card program The Company’s gift card sales are deferred within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and recognized in net sales when the gift card is redeemed for product or services. The Company’s gift cards do not expire and do not include service fees that decrease guest balances. The Company has maintained historical data related to gift card transactions sold and redeemed over a significant time frame. The Company recognizes gift card breakage (amounts not expected to be redeemed) to the extent there is no requirement for remitting balances to governmental agencies under unclaimed property laws. Estimated gift card breakage revenue is recognized over time in proportion to actual gift card redemptions. Disaggregated revenue The following table sets forth the amount of net sales attributable to retail stores, e-commerce, salon services, and other: 13 Weeks Ended 39 Weeks Ended November 3, October 28, November 3, October 28, (Dollars in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Retail stores $ 1,304,816 $ 1,155,497 $ 3,877,770 $ 3,422,849 E-commerce 170,738 119,806 457,942 320,413 Salon services 74,012 66,878 223,691 203,652 Other 10,445 - 32,496 - Total $ 1,560,011 $ 1,342,181 $ 4,591,899 $ 3,946,914 The following table sets forth the approximate percentage of net sales by primary category: 13 Weeks Ended 39 Weeks Ended November 3, October 28, November 3, October 28, (Percentage of net sales) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Cosmetics 53% 53% 52% 53% Skincare, Bath & Fragrance 19% 19% 20% 19% Haircare Products & Styling Tools 19% 19% 19% 19% Salon Services 5% 5% 5% 5% Other (nail products, accessories, and other) 4% 4% 4% 4% 100% 100% 100% 100% Deferred revenue Contract liabilities primarily represent the Company’s obligation to transfer additional goods or services to a guest for which the Company has received consideration, such as Ultamate Rewards loyalty points and unredeemed Ulta Beauty gift cards. In addition, the Company recognizes breakage on gift cards proportionately as redemption occurs. During the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018, the contract liabilities balance includes additions related to the earnings of Ultamate Rewards loyalty points or issuances of Ulta Beauty gift cards and deductions for revenues recognized during the period as a result of the redemption of Ultamate Rewards loyalty points or Ulta Beauty gift cards and breakage of Ulta Beauty gift cards.

Fair value measurements | 7. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates their estimated fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments. Fair value is measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy, which are described as follows: · Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. · Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data. · Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which would require the Company to develop its own assumptions. As of November 3, 2018, February 3, 2018, and October 28, 2017, the Company held financial liabilities of $22,128, $15,942, and $16,143, respectively, related to its non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, amounted to $9,084 and $0 at November 3, 2018 and February 3, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized $9,084 of goodwill during the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 related to the acquisitions discussed in Note 3, “Acquisitions.” The Company reviews the recoverability of goodwill annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that impairment may exist. Other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. During the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company recognized $7,066 in intangibles related to the acquisitions discussed in Note 3, “Acquisitions.” The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. |
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted and Recently adopted accounting pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU 2016-02 and subsequently issued amendments requires lessees to capitalize virtually all leases with terms of more than twelve months on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and recognize an associated lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing or operating leases and their classification impacts the recognition of expense in the income statement. Entities are allowed to apply the modified retrospective approach (1) retrospectively to each comparative period presented or (2) retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. ASU 2016‑02 is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings recorded at the beginning of the period of adoption. Therefore, upon adoption, the Company will recognize and measure leases without revising comparative period information or disclosures. The Company formed a cross-functional project team to assess the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements and is progressing with the implementation plan, which includes identifying the lease population, updating the lease software, and identifying changes to processes and controls. The Company plans to implement the transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which among other things, allows for the carryforward of historical lease classifications. The Company will make an accounting policy election to keep leases with terms of twelve months or less off the balance sheet and result in recognizing those lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has determined that the initial lease term will not differ under the new standard versus current accounting practice. The adoption of ASU 2016‑02 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position as there will be approximately 1,200 leased locations at the time of adoption, including the corporate office, stores, and distribution centers, however, the Company is not able to quantify the difference at this time. The Company does not believe adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows. Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, except that the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operation, or cash flows. Intangibles – Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software In August 2018 , the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customers Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which clarifies and aligns the accounting for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014‑09), issued as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). The guidance in ASU 2014-09 and subsequently issued amendments outlines a comprehensive model for all entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers as well as required disclosures. Under the new standard, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration, which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard requires additional disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The Company adopted the new revenue standard effective February 4, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to all contracts with the cumulative effect recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the date of adoption. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of the new revenue standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company expects the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard will be immaterial to net income on an ongoing basis. See Note 4, “Revenue”, for further details. |
