Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies. Unless otherwise stated, the Company believes that the impact of the recently issued accounting pronouncements that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), which supersedes the lease guidance under ASC 840, Leases. The new accounting standard requires an entity to recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms of more than 12 months and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This new guidance became effective for the Company on April 1, 2019. The Company adopted ASC 842 on April 1, 2019 and elected the optional transition method that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption, which was not applicable, and did not require restatement of prior periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, but not the hindsight practical expedient. Please refer to “Note 6. Leases” for more information regarding the Company’s adoption of the new lease standard.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (“Topic 220”), which allows stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The amendment only relates to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; thus, the underlying guidance relating to the effect of a change in tax laws be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in Topic 220 are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This new guidance became effective for the Company on April 1, 2019. The requirements of Topic 220 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606, which provides guidance on whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606. The amendments in this update provide more comparability in the presentation of revenue for certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants. The key improvements to GAAP for collaborative arrangements resulting from this amendment are to (i) clarify that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit-of-account, (ii) add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606, and (iii) require that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. This new guidance is effective for us on April 1, 2020. The Company does not expect this guidance to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
