Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Financial Instrument Credit Losses

In June 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. This standard, along with its amendments, update the current financial statement impairment model requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. For the Company, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Frontier is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting". This standard provides optional expedients, and allows for certain exceptions to existing GAAP, for contract modifications triggered by the expected market transition of certain benchmark interest rates to alternative reference rates. The standard applies to contracts and other arrangements that reference the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) or any other rates ending after December 31, 2022. Frontier is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, including optional expedients, on our consolidated financial statements.
