New accounting guidance and regulatory items
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments by eliminating the cash conversion model. As compared with current U.S. GAAP, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and the interest rate of more convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest rate. The ASU also aligns the consistency of diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") calculations for convertible instruments by requiring that (1) an entity use the if-converted method and (2) share settlement be included in the diluted EPS calculation for both convertible instruments and equity contracts when those contracts include an option of cash settlement or share settlement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The FASB has specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. Under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, we separately account for the liability and equity components of our 4.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), which may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion, in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. The effect of ASC 470-20 on the accounting for the 2025 Notes is that the equity component is required to be included in the additional paid-in capital section of stockholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet, and the value of the equity component is treated as original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the 2025 Notes. As a result, we currently are required to record a greater amount of non-cash interest expense in current periods presented as a result of the amortization of the discounted carrying value of the 2025 Notes to their face amount over the term of the 2025 Notes. Because we intend to settle in cash the principal outstanding under our 2025 Notes, we currently use the treasury stock method when calculating their potential dilutive effect, if any. See Note 8 and Note 10 for further details. ASU 2020-06 allows adoption through either a modified retrospective method or fully retrospective method of transition. In applying the modified retrospective transition method, the cumulative effect of the accounting change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption. For the full retrospective method, the cumulative effect of the accounting change should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the first comparative period presented. We expect to early adopt ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021. We are evaluating which transition method to use and the effect the ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The amendments in this ASU provide 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. An entity may optionally elect to apply the amendments effective in the first interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in this ASU simplified the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principle in Topic 740. The amendments also contain improvements and clarifications of certain guidance in Topic 740. The new amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 (i.e. a January 1, 2021 effective date), with early adoption permitted. We believe the adoption will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently adopted accounting guidance
In November 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASU 2019-11"). The amendments in this ASU contain improvements and clarifications of certain guidance in Topic 326. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2019-11 on January 1, 2020; the adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Codification Improvements to Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASU 2019-01"). The amendments in this ASU contain improvements and clarifications of certain guidance in Topic 842. The Company adopted the provision of ASU 2019-01 on January 1, 2020; the adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, ("ASU 2019-04"). The amendments in this
ASU affect a variety of Topics in the Codification and represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or improve the Codification. Subsequently, in May 2019 the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Targeted Transition Relief, ("ASU 2019-05"). The amendments in this ASU provide entities with targeted transition relief that is intended to increase comparability of financial statement information for some entities that otherwise would have measured similar financial instruments using different measurement methodologies. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 on January 1, 2020; the adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 remove the disclosure requirements related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and the valuation processes for Level 3 measurements in Topic 820. Additional disclosures under this Topic are related to Level 3 fair value measurements related to changes in unrealized gains and losses and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020; the adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended 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. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020; the adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
