Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses on instruments within its scope, including trade receivables. This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses. The effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 will be the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Guidance Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for most leases and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new guidance became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.  The Company implemented Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 and recorded a right of use asset and lease liability of $26.2 million and $29.5 million, respectively, upon adoption of the standard on the first day of fiscal 2020.

 

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which modifies the financial reporting of hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. ASU No. 2017-12 became effective in the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal 2020.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
