ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (as amended by ASU Nos. 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12, and 2016-20) and related ASU No. 2017-10, Determining the Customer of the Operation Services

Provides a single comprehensive model to be used in the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most previous revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.

Core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Requires disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

Specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.

January 1, 2018

See Note 2 for detailed discussion and disclosures.

Adopted using a modified retrospective approach. January 1, 2018 balance of retained earnings was increased by less than $2 million.

ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Requires investments in equity securities in an entity that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method to be measured at fair value with changes therein reflected in net income.

Simplifies the impairment assessment and allows for a fair value measurement alternative for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value.

Eliminates the previous cost method of accounting for certain equity securities that did not have readily determinable fair values.

January 1, 2018

Measurement alternative adopted prospectively.

See the preceding “Changes to Significant Accounting Policies” section for impact.

ASU No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory

Exempts income tax accounting that requires companies to defer the income tax effects of certain intercompany transactions only for intercompany inventory transactions.

The exception no longer applies to intercompany sales and transfers of other assets (e.g., intangible assets).

January 1, 2018

Adopted using a modified retrospective approach. January 1, 2018 balance of retained earnings was decreased by less than $2 million.

ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business

Narrows the previous definition of a business and provides a framework for evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets or a business.

January 1, 2018

Adopted prospectively with no immediate impact.

Fewer sets of transferred assets and activities are expected to be considered businesses.

ASU No. 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets

Largely impacts the sale of nonfinancial assets (such as real estate and intellectual property) that do not constitute a business, when the purchaser is not a customer.

Seller applies certain recognition and measurement principles of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, even though the purchaser is not a customer.

January 1, 2018

Adopted coincident with the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 with no material impact.

Impact and Other Matters

ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost

Changes previous classification of net periodic defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit costs within operating expenses.

Requires that only the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost be included in operating expenses and that only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization into assets such as inventory.

Specifies that other net periodic benefit costs components (such as interest, expected return on plan assets, prior service cost amortization and actuarial gain/loss amortization) would be reported outside of operating income.

January 1, 2018

Adopted on a retrospective basis.

No impact on previously reported income before income taxes and net income attributable to 3M. However, non-service cost components of net periodic benefit costs in prior periods have been reclassified from operating expenses and are now reported outside of operating income within other expense (income), net.

See the “Basis of Presentation” section above for impact of this ASU’s adoption on prior period income statement amounts. 

Prospective impact on costs capitalized into assets was not material.

ASU No. 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting

Provides that fewer changes to the terms of share-based payment awards will require accounting under the modification model (which generally would have required additional compensation cost).

January 1, 2018

Adopted prospectively with no immediate impact.

3M does not typically make changes to the terms or conditions of its issued share-based payments.

ASU No. 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting

Provides that fewer changes to the terms of share-based payment awards will require accounting under the modification model (which generally would have required additional compensation cost).

Impact and Other Matters

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (as amended by ASU No. 2018-10)

Introduces a lessee model that requires entities to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases, but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current accounting. This ASU does not make fundamental changes to existing lessor accounting.

January 1, 2019

Requires modified retrospective transition applied to earliest period presented

3M is currently assessing this ASU’s impact.

See the “Relevant New Standards Issued Subsequent to Most Recent Annual Report” below for further discussion on ASU No. 2018-10 issued in July 2018.

ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

Introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities.

Amends the current other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. For such securities with unrealized losses, entities will still consider if a portion of any impairment is related only to credit losses and therefore recognized as a reduction in income.

January 1, 2020

Required to make a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.

3M is currently assessing this ASU’s impact.

ASU No. 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities

Shortens the amortization period to the earliest call date for the premium related to certain callable debt securities that have explicit, noncontingent call features and are callable at a fixed price and preset date.

January 1, 2019

3M’s marketable security portfolio includes limited instances of callable debt securities held at a premium.

3M does not expect this ASU to have a material impact.

Amends (1) the classification of financial instruments with down-round features as liabilities or equity by revising certain guidance relative to evaluating if they must be accounted for as derivative instruments and (2) the guidance on recognition and measurement of freestanding equity-classified instruments.

January 1, 2019

No financial instruments with down-round features have been issued.

3M does not expect this ASU to have a material impact.

ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

Amends existing guidance to simplify application of hedge accounting in certain situations and allow companies to better align their hedge accounting with risk management activities.

Simplifies related accounting by eliminating requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness.

Expands an entity’s ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components.

January 1, 2019

Required to make a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.  

3M is currently assessing this ASU’s impact.
