The core principle of the New Revenue Standard is that a company should recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. In addition, the FASB has issued several amendments to the New Revenue Standard, including principal versus agent considerations, clarifications on identification of performance obligations, and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. The amendments are intended to address implementation issues that were raised by stakeholders and provide additional practical expedients to reduce the cost and complexity of adoption.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The New Revenue Standard is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition methods. We anticipate adopting the New Revenue Standard on April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, which recognizes the cumulative effect of initially applying the New Revenue Standard as an adjustment to retained earnings at the adoption date. We have reached conclusions on several key accounting assessments related to the New Revenue Standard and have identified certain impacts to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The New Revenue Standard will have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures as it relates to the accounting for substantially all of our transactions with multiple elements or “bundled” arrangements. For example, for sales of online-enabled games, as currently reported we do not have vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) for unspecified future updates, and thus, revenue from the entire sales price is recognized ratably over the estimated offering period. However, under the New Revenue Standard, the VSOE requirement for undelivered elements is eliminated, allowing us to essentially “break-apart” our online-enabled games and account for the various promised goods or services identified as separate performance obligations. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For example, for the sale of an online-enabled game, we usually have multiple distinct performance obligations such as software, future update rights, and an online service. The software performance obligation represents the initial game delivered digitally or via physical disc. The future update rights performance obligation may include software patches or updates, maintenance, and/or additional free content to be delivered in the future. And lastly, the online service performance obligation consists of providing the customer with a service of online activities (e.g., online playability). Under current software revenue recognition rules, we recognize as revenue the entire sales price over the estimated offering period. However, under the New Revenue Standard, we currently estimate that a significant portion of the sales price will be allocated to the software performance obligation and recognized upon delivery, and the remaining portion will be allocated to the future update rights and the online service performance obligations and recognized ratably over the estimated offering period. As a result, we expect a significant portion of our annual revenue, and thereby annual profit, will shift from the first and fourth fiscal quarters to the second and third fiscal quarters which is historically when a significant portion of our annual bookings and software deliveries have been made. Further, we expect the net cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption to result in a pre-tax increase to retained earnings in the range of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$600 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$800 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The range is based on our actual results through the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and our forecast of sales activity during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. These initial estimates will continue to be refined as we approach the adoption of the New Revenue Standard.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, both portions of sales price allocated to future update rights and online services will be classified as service revenue under the New Revenue Standard (currently, future update rights are generally presented as product revenue). Therefore, upon adoption, an increased portion of our sales from online-enabled games will be presented as service revenue than is currently reported today. Also, upon adoption of the New Revenue Standard, a substantial majority of our sales returns and price protection reserves will be classified as liabilities (currently, these allowances are classified as contra-assets within receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We expect to further refine our estimate of the impact to our consolidated financial statements during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. We will continue to monitor additional changes, modifications, clarifications or interpretations by the SEC, which may impact current expectations. It is possible that during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, we could identify items that result in additional material changes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:10px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Financial Instruments</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> (Topic 825-10), which requires that most equity investments be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. The ASU also impacts financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The requirements will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Liabilities – Extinguishments of Liabilities</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> (Subtopic 405-20): </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The amendments in the ASU are designed to provide guidance and eliminate diversity in the accounting for derecognition of prepaid stored-value product liabilities. Typically, a prepaid stored-value product liability is to be derecognized when it is probable that a significant reversal of the recognized breakage amount will not subsequently occur. This is when the likelihood of the product holder exercising its remaining rights becomes remote. This estimate shall be updated at the end of each period. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Statement of Cash Flows </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">(Topic 230): </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">This update is intended to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows.

We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Derivatives and Hedging </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">(Topic 815):</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. This update is intended to make more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting. It also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. This update is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and impact of this new standard on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Financial Instruments—Credit Losses </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">(Topic 326). The standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Early adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and impact of this new standard on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Intangibles—Goodwill and Other</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> (Topic 350). The standard simplifies the goodwill impairment test. This update removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This update is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. We anticipate early adopting ASU 2017-04 during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.</font></div></div>
