Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsThe Company has recently adopted the following accounting pronouncements:

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). The objective of ASU 2017-04 is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by entities performing their annual goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit, including income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill, with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU 2018-13”). The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to modify disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be adopted using the prospective method for certain disclosures within the guidance and retrospectively upon the effective date. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or its disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (“ASU 2018-15”). The objective of ASU 2018-15 is to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with those incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 using the prospective method and accounts for new contracts that are service arrangements using this guidance. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). The objective of ASU 2018-17 is to improve (i) the application of variable interest entity guidance to private companies under common control and (ii) consideration of indirect interests held through related parties under common control for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2018-17 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet AdoptedThe Company has not yet adopted the following accounting pronouncements:

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The objective of ASU 2019-12 is (i) to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions, (ii) to update certain requirements to simplify the accounting for income taxes, and (iii) to make minor codification improvements for income taxes. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). The objective of ASU 2020-04 is to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the expedients and exceptions provided by this standard.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements or notes thereto.
