Accounting Changes

On January 1, 2020, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in previous U.S. GAAP with a methodology (Current Expected Credit Losses model, or CECL) that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates. The guidance requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The updated guidance applies to (i) loans, accounts receivable, trade receivables, and other financial assets measured at amortized cost, and (ii) loan commitments and other off-balance sheet credit exposures. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
