Overview of the new standard 1 Pw. C | Break-out Session 2 A – Revenue recognition 3
Overview of new revenue standard Executive summary • Converged standard on revenue recognition issued by FASB and IASB in May 2014 • Principles-based standard replaces nearly all existing industry-specific or transaction-specific guidance for both US GAAP and IFRS - Still certain differences between GAAP and IFRS (e. g. , notion of probability, changes made by FASB and not IASB like licensing) Achieve a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model Core principle is that revenue recognition depicts transfer of control to customer in an amount that reflects consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled • Also includes guidance for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer (e. g. , incremental costs of obtaining a contract). Pw. C | Break-out Session 2 A – Revenue recognition 4
Overview of new revenue standard (continued) Scope set to improve consistency and comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets Scope of the standard Specifically excluded • Applies to all contracts with customers to transfer goods, services, or nonfinancial assets • Applicable to all entities and industries with only certain transactions excluded • Sectors most heavily impacted: EMC, Technology, Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences • • Pw.

Comparison to existing guidance – Other aspects of the standard Existing guidance New guidance Diversity in recognition of revenue related to licenses Guidance provided to assess whether license recognized at a point in time or over time Required disclosures set forth in ASC 605 More extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures required Little guidance on accounting for costs outside of contract accounting Incremental costs to obtain and fulfill a contract are capitalized if recoverable Pw.

Impact on the process, systems and data The new Revenue Recognition standard impacts the allocation methodologies, triggers for, and timing when revenue is recognized for products and services delivered to customers. This change impacts the order-to-cash and close-to-report cycles as shown below. Revenue recognition systems Transaction Systems (order, quoting, contract processes) Invoicing, Billing and Collections Systems New data may be needed from: • • Ordering systems Quoting systems Contracting systems Billing and invoicing systems Cash and treasury processes Licensing operations CRM Pw. C | Break-out Session 2 A – Revenue recognition Revenue Models & Triggers Revenue Calculation Systems Accounting guidance has changed, requiring new judgments and estimates to be made, new data capture, new calculations and new reporting to meet guidance requirements “If I change $1 of revenue, what are we going to have to change? ” General Ledger Reporting Platforms New requirements may be needed in the following organizations or processes: • • Revenue calculation systems Close and accrual processes General ledger and reporting systems Forecasting and budgeting processes Incentive compensation Investor relations Tax Channel partner incentive programs 14

Tax considerations 4 Pw. C | Break-out Session 2 A – Revenue recognition 20
Tax revenue recognition rules The tax law contains specific revenue recognition rules, under which revenue generally is recognized the earlier of when it is due, paid or earned Amounts due or paid in advance of being earned (advance payments) may be eligible for tax deferral under specific provisions (Rev. Proc. 2004 -34 or Section 451 regulations), but tax deferral generally cannot exceed the book deferral Revenue generally earned for: • Goods, when benefits and burdens of ownership of good transfers • Services, when services (or divisible services) are complete • Licenses, over the period the licensee has the right to use the property • Long-term contracts, as costs are incurred Pw. C | Break-out Session 2 A – Revenue recognition 21
Tax revenue recognition principles • The form of the contract generally is respected such that - Generally required to account for each separate deliverable in a contract based on the stated contract prices - Contract modifications generally do not create separate contracts • Contract inducement costs generally capitalizable only to the extent - External costs, - Contract term exceeds 12 months, - Contract is not terminable at will, and - Amount is not de minimis ($5, 000 or less) - Consider where book-tax differences are mapped in compliance software - Pursuant to the financial accounting change in accounting principle, consider how retained earnings adjustments will be tracked and reflected in tax returns (disaggregation of cash flows from revenue and expense recognition) Pw.

Tax accounting methods • Financial accounting changes will impact cash taxes in certain instances: - Recognition of advance payments deferred to extent of book deferral - Treatment of additional items as deferred revenue as opposed to as accrued liabilities (e. g. , customer loyalty programs) - Identification of impermissible tax method • Changes could impact book-tax differences and deferred taxes, including: - Recognition of sale of goods, services, long-term contracts, licensing revenue - Contingent consideration - Time value of money adjustments • Changes also may require tax accounting method changes • IRS Notice 2015 -40 requests comments on technical and procedural aspects of this new guidance Pw.

Practical illustration Background: Company X sells an automobile with a one year scheduled maintenance service included, on November 1, 20 X 4 for $1, 000. Under the existing (current) revenue recognition guidance, the first performance obligation (sale of car) is allocated $1, 000 of revenue, while the second performance obligation (scheduled maintenance) is allocated $0 of revenue. Upon recognition of the first performance obligation, there is no deferred revenue for book or tax purposes. Under the new standard, performance obligation 1 (sale of car) will be allocated $900 of revenue and performance obligation 2 (scheduled maintenance) will be allocated $100 of revenue. Upon recognition of the first performance obligation, deferred revenue of $100 will exist in the financial statements. Company X utilizes the deferral method of accounting as prescribed in Rev. Proc. 200434. For federal income tax purposes, under the current standard, X will recognize $1, 000 of revenue upon sale of the car in 20 X 4. Under the new standard, X will recognize $900 of revenue in taxable income and defer the $100 to the extent it is deferred for financial reporting purposes in 20 X 4. In 20 X 5, X will recognize the remaining amount of $100 of revenue in taxable income. Pw. C | Break-out Session 2 A – Revenue recognition 25
