Newly Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “(Topic 842) Leases,” (“ASU 2016-02”). The new guidance requires the recording of assets and liabilities arising from leases on our condensed consolidated balance sheet accompanied by enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018 (our fiscal year 2020), including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” and ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements,” in December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20, “Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors” and in March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements.” These ASUs provide adjustments relating to ASU 2016-02 and improvements to comparative reporting requirements for initial adoption and for separating components of a contract for lessors. We adopted the collective standard “ASC 842” using the modified retrospective transition approach with optional transition relief and recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new leasing standard to existing contracts on our condensed consolidated balance sheet on August 1, 2019. Therefore, results for reporting periods beginning after August 1, 2019 are presented under the new leasing standard; however, the comparative prior period amounts have not been restated and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840. The most significant effects of adoption of the new leasing standard relate to the recognition of right-of-use assets of $35,842 and lease liabilities of $36,417 for operating leases, which we recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet on August 1, 2019. Additionally, the amortization of the right-of-use assets and the cash flow impact from lease liabilities are separately disclosed in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The new leasing standard did not impact our condensed consolidated statements of income. See Note 6, “Leases” for a discussion of the impact to the condensed consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”) to allow for the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal year 2020), including interim periods within that reporting period. Accordingly, we adopted ASU 2018-02 on August 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “(Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,” (“ASU 2020-04”) to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have 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. ASU 2020-04 was subject to election as of March 20, 2020 and can be elected for both interim and annual periods through December 31, 2022. We plan to adopt ASU 2020-04 on August 1, 2020 (our fiscal 2021). The adoption of ASU 2020-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “(Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” (“ASU 2019-12”) to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 (our fiscal year 2022), including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”) to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (our fiscal year 2021), including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”) to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (our fiscal year 2021), including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “(Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” (“ASU 2017-04”) to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. The revised guidance eliminates the existing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test which required an entity to compute the implied fair value of its goodwill at the testing date in order to measure the amount of the impairment charge when the fair value of the reporting unit failed Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis on or after the effective date. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019 (our fiscal year 2021) and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” (“ASU 2016-13”) 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 amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (our fiscal year 2021). The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
