Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Amended SEC Rules

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires an organization 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. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief (“ASU 2019-05”). ASU 2019-05 provides transition relief for ASU 2016-13 by providing entities with an alternative to irrevocably elect the fair value option for eligible financial assets measured at amortized cost upon adoption of ASU 2016-13. The Company applied the provisions of ASU 2016-13 and its subsequent revisions as of January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-03”), which adds to and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements including a requirement to disclose changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and a requirement to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements.

The Company applied the provisions of ASU 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). The objective of this update is to clarify and align the accounting and capitalization of implementation costs for hosting arrangements, regardless of whether they convey a license to the hosted software. The updated guidance will require an entity in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract, to follow guidance in ASC Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset and which costs to expense. The Company applied the provisions of ASU 2018-15 as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808)—Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 (“ASU 2018-18”). The amendments in ASU 2018-18 make targeted improvements to U.S. GAAP for collaborative arrangements by clarifying 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. In those situations, all the guidance in Topic 606 should be applied, including recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements. In addition, unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 was aligned with the guidance in Topic 606 (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of Topic 606. The Company applied the provisions of ASU 2018-18 as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2020, the SEC amended Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X regarding the financial disclosure requirements for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities registered or being registered. Among other things, the amendments narrow the circumstances that require separate financial statements of subsidiary issuers and guarantors and streamline the alternative disclosures required in lieu of those financial statements. The effective date of the amendment is January 4, 2021 with earlier voluntary compliance permitted. We have chosen to voluntarily comply with the amended rules effective during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and have included the required disclosures as a component of Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Form 10-Q as permitted by the amendments.

Accounting Standards Issued Not Yet Adopted

In January 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-01, Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 2020-01”), which clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. In addition, ASU 2020-01 states that for the purpose of applying paragraph 815-10-15-141(a) an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in Topic 323 or the fair value option in accordance with the financial instruments guidance in Topic 825. ASU 2020-01 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption in any interim period permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Entities can apply the provisions of ASU 2020-04 immediately, as applicable, and generally the provisions of the guidance are available through December 31, 2022 as entities transition away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
