ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 eliminates, amends, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for the entire standard or for the provisions that eliminate or amend disclosure requirements. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards to employees and non-employees. Under ASU 2018-07 the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, except for specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. ASU 2018-07 should be applied to all new awards granted after the date of adoption.

ASU 2018-07 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-02 to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”). ASU 2018-02 permits a company to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects (“stranded tax effects”) of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

ASU 2018-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-02 to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 are intended to improve the transparency and understandability of information about an entity’s risk management activities and simplify the application of hedge accounting.

ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-12 to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). The core principle of ASU 2016-02 is that an entity should recognize on its balance sheet assets and liabilities arising from a lease. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the lease classification as a finance or operating lease. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” (“ASU 2018-10”) and ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”) to improve certain aspects of ASU 2016-02.

ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the new standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019. The Company plans to elect the package of practical expedients upon transition where the Company will not reassess the lease classification and initial direct costs for leases that existed prior to adoption. Additionally, the Company will not reassess contracts entered into prior to adoption to determine whether the arrangement is or contains a lease. The Company anticipates the adoption of the standard will increase assets and liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets primarily related to its corporate headquarters lease and will not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
