In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, and an entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832) Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance (“ASU 2021-10”). The amendments in the update require annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy, including 1) the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used, 2) the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item; and 3) significant terms and conditions of the transactions. ASU 2021-10 is effective for all entities within its scope for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application is permitted. An entity should apply ASU 2021-10 either prospectively to all transactions within the scope of the amendments that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions entered into after the date of initial application, or retrospectively to those transactions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the initial application of this guidance on its annual financial statements to be issued for the period ended December 31, 2022.
