New Accounting Pronouncements

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The FASB issued ASU 2020-04 which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The ASU is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The amendments within this ASU will be in effect for a limited time beginning March 12, 2020, and an entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Currently, there are no accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet adopted, that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Adopted Standards

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). The FASB issued ASU 2016-13 which replaces current methods for evaluating impairment of financial instruments not measured at fair value, including trade accounts receivable, and certain debt securities, with a current expected credit loss model ("CECL"). The CECL model is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The amendment was effective for reporting periods after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The FASB issued ASU 2018-13 to modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820. Part of the disclosures were removed or modified, and other disclosures were added. The amendment was effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
