Recently adopted authoritative guidance

Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The guidance also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. On April 3, 2021, the first day of fiscal 2022, we adopted this guidance prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently issued authoritative guidance not yet adopted

Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In August 2020, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments. The new guidance removes from GAAP the separation models for convertible debt with embedded conversion features. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present embedded conversion features in equity. Instead, they will account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the if-converted method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share. The standard will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2023, with early adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. It may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with cumulative effect recognized in retained earnings as of the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the FASB issued new guidance providing temporary optional expedients and exceptions to ease the financial reporting burden of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. The standard was effective upon issuance and may generally be applied through December 31, 2022, to any new or amended contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR. We continue to evaluate our contractual arrangements and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR.

Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB that we have adopted or will adopt, as applicable, we do not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had, or will have, a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures
