Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Convertible Instruments and Contracts

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity." This new standard simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments. It eliminates the treasury stock method for convertible instruments and requires application of the “if-converted” method for certain agreements when computing earnings per share. In addition, the standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features and the recognition of a debt discount and related amortization to interest expense of those embedded features.

The Company elected to early adopt this standard effective January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective approach transition method. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 are presented under the new standard, while the comparative periods presented are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historical accounting policy.

In connection with the adoption of this standard, the Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment, net of tax, of $6.1 million to retained earnings on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2021. This adjustment was primarily driven by the derecognition of interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount associated with the embedded conversion option recorded in the prior period as required under the legacy guidance. In addition, the Company reclassified $75.6 million, less related tax of $17.1 million and issuance costs of $2.9 million, from additional paid-in-capital ("APIC") to long-term debt and finance leases on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2021. The reclassification was recorded in order to combine the two legacy units of account into a single instrument classified as a liability since bifurcation of the instrument into two units of account is no longer required under the new standard. Under this new guidance, the Company will no longer incur interest expense related to the accretion of the debt discount associated with the embedded conversion option.

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." This new standard simplifies various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. The standard removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and modifies existing guidance to improve consistent application of Topic 740. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021 with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

Government Assistance

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832), "Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance." The new standard requires additional disclosures regarding government grants and money contributions. The standard requires disclosures on the nature of the transactions and related accounting policies, including significant terms and conditions, as well as the amounts and specific financial statement line items affected by the transactions. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this standard effective January 1, 2021, using the retrospective approach transition method, with no material impact to its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
