Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

(2) Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software.  In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued a standard that provides guidance on accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract.  The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license.  

This guidance also requires entities to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement and classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element. The entity is also required to present the capitalized implementation costs in the statement of financial position in the same line item that a prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would be presented.  This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020.  The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.  In January 2017, the FASB issued a standard requiring an entity to no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment.  Instead, impairment is measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit.  This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019.  We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020.  The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.  

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance amending the previous guidance on impairment of financial instruments.  Among other things, the new guidance requires expectations of future credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability.  This guidance does not apply to receivables arising from direct rental revenue related to our operating leases.  The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019.  We adopted this standard utilizing a modified-retrospective approach on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
