Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, other than what is described below.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Policies

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments of ASU No. 2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform and provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022 the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability of forecasted transactions to assert probability of the hedged interest payments regardless of the expectation to transition away from LIBOR interest payments and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. During June 2023, the Company elected to apply the relevant hedge accounting expedients related to the change in critical terms of the hedged transactions and hedging instrument, and the change in hedged risk to avoid de-designating the hedging relationship. The Company also applied relevant expedients in paragraph 848-20-35-4 of Topic 848 to avoid reassessing previous accounting determinations that would otherwise be reassessed due to the modification of the hedging instrument. These elections became effective during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements or derivative contracts.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the quarter had or is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
