ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842) (February 2016)

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended its standards with respect to the accounting for leases. This ASU replaces all current GAAP guidance on this topic and requires that an operating lease be recognized by the lessee on the balance sheet as a “right-of-use” asset along with a corresponding liability representing the rent obligation. Key aspects of current lessor accounting remain unchanged from existing guidance. The amended standard has resulted in an increase to assets and liabilities recognized and, therefore, increased risk-weighted assets for regulatory capital purposes.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 - Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. ASU 2018-11 allows entities adopting ASU 2016-02 to choose an additional (and optional) transition method, under which an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company elected the optional transition method permitted by ASU 2018-11, which allowed the Company to recognize and measure leases that exist at the application date. Under this method, an entity must recognize and measure leases that exist at the application date and prior comparative periods are not adjusted.

The new ASU provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the practical expedients that allowed the Company to retain the classifications of existing leases, rather than re-assessing if existing leases have initial direct costs, and to use hindsight when determining the lease term and assessment of impairment. The Company also elected a practical expedient to not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under ASC Topic 840 contain a lease.

The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method and the adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company recognized a $2.1 million increase in assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 6 for additional information.

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01 - Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements. This ASU (1) states that for lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers, the fair value of the underlying asset is its cost, less any volume or trade discounts, as long as there is not a significant amount of time between acquisition of the asset and lease commencement; (2) clarifies that lessors in the scope of ASC Topic 942, such as the Company, must classify principal payments received from sales-type and direct financing leases in investing activities in the statements of cash flows; and (3) clarifies the transition guidance related to certain interim disclosures provided in the year of adoption. To coincide with the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2019-01 on January 1, 2019. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (June 2016)

The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.

The amendments affect entities holding financial assets that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments in this update affect an entity to varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets held by the entity, their duration, and how the entity applies current GAAP. There is diversity in practice in applying the incurred loss methodology, which means that before transition some entities may be more aligned under current GAAP than others to the new measure of expected credit losses. The following describes the main provisions of this update.

Assets Measured at Amortized Cost: The amendments in this update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The statements of income reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increase or decrease of credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances.

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities: Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. Available-for-sale accounting recognizes that value may be realized either through collection of contractual cash flows or through sale of the security. Therefore, the amendments limit the amount of the allowance for credit losses to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost because the classification as available-for-sale is premised on an investment strategy that recognizes that the investment could be sold at fair value if cash collection would result in the realization of an amount less than fair value.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Targeted Transition Relief. This ASU allows an option for preparers to irrevocably elect the fair value option, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, for eligible financial assets measured at amortized cost basis upon adoption of the credit losses standard. This increases the comparability of financial statement information provided by institutions that otherwise would have reported similar financial instruments using different measurement methodologies, potentially decreasing costs for financial statement preparers while providing more useful information to investors and other users.

For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may early adopt the amendments in this update as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) - Effective Dates. This ASU delayed the effective date for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. An entity will apply the amendments in this update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an OTTI had been recognized before the effective date. The effect of a prospective transition approach is to maintain the same amortized cost basis before and after the effective date of this update.

The Company does not expect to early adopt and is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company currently cannot determine or reasonably quantify the impact of the adoption of the amendments due to the complexity and extensive changes. The Company intends to develop processes and procedures prior to the effective date to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date. The Company has formed an implementation committee and has engaged a third-party consultant to assist in developing current expected credit losses (“CECL”) models using appropriate methodologies.

ASU 2018-13 - Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (August 2018)

The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in ASC Topic 820. This ASU eliminates the requirements to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, this ASU requires entities that calculate net asset value to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly. This ASU also adds new requirements, which include the disclosure of the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU were effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim fiscal periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-16 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (October 2018)

The amendments in this ASU allow all entities that elect to apply hedge accounting to benchmark interest rate hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to use the OIS rate based on SOFR as a benchmark interest rate, in addition to the four eligible benchmark interest rates. The Company adopted this ASU effective December 31, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2019-04 - Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (April 2019)

The amendments in this ASU clarify or correct the guidance in ASC Topic 326, Topic 815 and Topic 825. With respect to Topic 326, ASU 2019-04 addresses a number of issues as it relates to the CECL standard including consideration of accrued interest, recoveries, variable-rate financial instruments, prepayments, extension and renewal options, among other things, in the measurement of expected credit losses. The amendments to Topic 326 have the same effective dates as ASU 2016-13 and the Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these amendments on the consolidated financial statements. With respect to Topic 815, ASU 2019-04 clarifies issues related to partial-term hedges, hedged debt securities, and transitioning from a quantitative method of assessing hedge effectiveness to a more simplified method. The amendments to Topic 815 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. With respect to Topic 825, ASU 2019-04 addresses the scope of the guidance, the requirement for remeasurement under ASC Topic 820 when using the measurement alternative, certain disclosure requirements, and which equity securities must be remeasured at historical exchanges rates. The amendments to Topic 825 were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
