Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”. The new guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for certain convertible instruments with characteristics of both liability and equity. The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. As a result, after the adoption of this guidance, an entity’s convertible debt instrument will be wholly accounted for as debt. The guidance also expands disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and simplifies areas of the guidance for diluted earnings-per-share calculations by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis.

The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are presented under the new standard, while the comparative period is not adjusted and is reported in accordance with the Company's old method of accounting. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 significantly impacts our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets as we no longer report accreted interest on the convertible senior notes (the “Notes”) and the full par value of the Notes is reflected as debt. The cumulative effect adjustment from prior periods that we recognized in our consolidated balance sheet as adjustments to reduce additional paid in capital and increase retained earnings were $44,731,000 and $17,789,000, respectively. Had we followed the old method of accounting for the three months ended March 31, 2022 reported basic and diluted Net Earnings Per Share "EPS" would decrease by $0.06 and $0.05, respectively, from $1.62 and $1.53, respectively, to $1.56 and $1.48, respectively.

There have been no other material changes in or additions to the recently issued accounting standards as previously reported in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 that affect or may affect our current financial statements.
