New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, along with subsequent amendments issued in 2019. This ASU requires instruments measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable, to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The new model requires an entity to estimate credit losses based on historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019 and the Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. We adopted this ASU by applying historical loss rates to our accounts receivable aging schedule to estimate expected credit losses. We further adjusted expected credit losses for specifically identified and forecasted credit losses. This update did not have a material impact on our net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share or cash flows.

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, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. We

adopted this update as of January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on our net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share or cash flows.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which results in the removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740 and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted in any interim period. We early adopted this new guidance effective April 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans. This ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will include the required disclosures in the 2020 year-end consolidated financial statements.

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, which provides optional guidance if certain criteria are met for entities that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted the ASU as of September 30, 2020, however will continue to monitor the impact of reference rates and will elect to apply this guidance in our consolidated financial statements in the event that we are impacted by reference rate reform.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models requiring separate accounting for embedded conversion features which will result in more convertible debt instruments accounted for as a single liability. The ASU eliminates certain settlement conditions that are required for equity classification to qualify for the derivative scope exception. The ASU addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the calculation of diluted earnings per share by using the if-converted method. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
