Note 3 — Accounting Changes

New Accounting Standard Adopted in Fiscal 2022

Income Taxes. Effective October 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” prospectively and retrospectively where deemed applicable. This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions within the existing guidance for recognizing deferred taxes for equity method investments, performing intraperiod allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods. Further, this ASU clarifies existing guidance related to, among other things, recognizing deferred taxes for goodwill and allocated taxes to members of a consolidated group. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted

Debt and Derivatives and Hedging. 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).” The amendments in this ASU affect entities that issue convertible instruments and/or contracts indexed to and potentially settled in an entity’s own equity. This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, expands disclosure requirements for convertible instruments, and simplifies the related earnings per share guidance. This new guidance is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning October 1, 2022 (Fiscal 2023). Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU may be adopted using the modified or full retrospective transition methods. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact on its financial statements from the adoption of the new guidance and determining the transition method and the period in which the new guidance will be adopted.
