Subsequent Event	Subsequent Event Share Dividend On January 3, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a share dividend of one ordinary share, $0.03 par value per share, for every one ordinary share owned. The share dividend will be payable to shareholders of record as of January 25, 2022, and will be paid on February 1, 2022. Ordinary shares and per share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have not been adjusted for the impact of the share dividend.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12 – Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. We adopted ASU 2019-12 in the first quarter of 2022 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured on the basis of amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This ASU requires that the income statement reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as the increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. This ASU requires that credit losses of debt securities designated as available-for-sale be recorded through an allowance for credit losses and limits the credit loss to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. We adopted ASU 2016-13 in the first quarter of 2021 under the modified retrospective adoption method. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 – Business Combinations: Accounting for Contract Asset and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, to require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU is effective for us in the first quarter of 2023 and, if adopted early, requires the retrospective method of transition applied to transactions occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We are evaluating the timing and effects of adoption of this ASU on our financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 – Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments by reducing the number of accounting models and the number of embedded conversion features that could be recognized separately from the primary contract. This ASU requires a convertible debt instrument to be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. This ASU requires an entity to use the if-converted method in the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments. This ASU is effective for us in the first quarter of 2023 and permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. We are evaluating the effects of adoption of this ASU on our financial statements.
