Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements adopted during the year:

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-01, “Leases Topic 842,” requiring entities to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases, with certain exceptions. Topic 842 allows for a modified retrospective application and is effective as of the first quarter of 2019. Entities are allowed to apply the new guidance using a modified retrospective approach at the beginning of the year in which new lease standard is adopted, rather than to the earliest comparative period presented in their financial statements. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. We elected the modified retrospective approach under the new guidance and elected the available practical expedients on adoption. Upon adoption, we recognized additional operating lease liabilities of $8.4 million with a corresponding right-of-use assets of $8.4 million based on the present value of the remaining lease payments under existing operating leases. As of December 31, 2018, we had $2.1 million in deferred charges related to our real estate leases that were recorded against the lease liability asset as part of the transition, resulting in $10.5 million included in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the new guidance resulted in additional lease-related disclosures in the footnotes to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our leasing portfolio is comprised entirely of operating leases, and we do not recognize right-of-use assets or related lease liabilities with a lease term of twelve months or less on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Adoption of Topic 842 has required changes to our business processes and controls to comply with the provisions of the standard. Refer to Note 11 "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation-Stock Compensation," to improve the usefulness of information provided to users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting and provide guidance aligning the measurement and classification for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. Under the guidance, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awards will be fixed at the grant date. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity's adoption date of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” We adopted ASU 2018-07 during the first quarter of 2019 and the adoption did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements yet to be adopted:

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, "Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606,"    to clarify when ASC 606 should be used for collaborative arrangements when the counterparty is a customer. The guidance precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. The guidance is effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted to entities that have adopted ASC 606. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2018-18.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement," to no longer require public companies to disclose transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and to require disclosure about the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2018-13.
