Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which replaces the incurred loss methodology previously employed to measure credit losses for most financial assets and requires the use of a forward-looking expected loss model. This update requires financial assets to be measured at amortized costs less a reserve and equal to the net amount expected to be collected.

The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 using the prospective approach. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. At September 30, 2020, the Company reported $432.5 million of accounts receivable, net of allowance of $5.3 million. Changes in the allowance were not material for three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company fully describes the adoption and impact of this standard in Note 1. As part of the adoption of this standard, the Company implemented changes to its accounting policies, practices and internal controls over financial reporting.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. This new accounting standard was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which is intended to simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective method. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides companies with optional guidance, including expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This new standard was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on its disclosures.
