Department: Finance

POLICY

This policy requires that a business recognize revenue pursuant to the guidance stated in FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Any deviations from this policy and the related Procedure for Revenue Recognition (including any business-specific accounting policies relating to accounting for revenue) must be pre-approved in writing by the Corporate Controllers Office prior to adoption.

SCOPE

This policy applies to all revenue transactions, including the sale of products, services, licenses and software.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this policy and the related Procedure for Revenue Recognition is to set the standard for when, and what amount of revenue should be recognized for each transaction.

PROCEDURE

This document is Hubbell’s interpretation of ASC 606 – Revenue from Customers Accounting Standards. Based on the principles detailed in this document, a business should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that it expects to be entitled to exchange for those goods or services. Any deviations from this procedure or publications or business specific accounting policies relating to accounting for revenue must be pre approved in writing by the Corporate Controllers Office prior to adoption.

In accordance with the core principle of assessing the timing and amount of revenue to recognize, a business should apply the followings steps:

• Identify the Contract with the Customer (see Section 1.0) • Identify the Performance Obligation (see Section 2.0) • Determine the Transaction Price (see Section 3.0) • Allocate the Transaction Price (see Section 4.0) • Recognize the Revenue when the business Satisfies a Performance Obligation (see Section 5.0)

Objective: To ensure revenue is accurately recorded.

Concept:
