Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") establishes changes to accounting principles under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") through the use of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification. The Company evaluates the applicability and potential impacts of recent ASUs on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB amended its guidance related to income taxes. The amended guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminating certain exceptions to the general income tax principles, in an effort to reduce the cost and complexity of application. The amended guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. Early adoption was permitted in any interim or annual period. The guidance requires application on either a prospective, retrospective or modified retrospective basis, contingent on the income tax exception being applied. The Company adopted this guidance, on a prospective basis, on January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), announced its intent to phase out the use of LIBOR by December 31, 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred benchmark alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR. Published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, SOFR represents a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is calculated based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. In March 2020, in response to this transition, the FASB issued guidance related to this rate reform, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued by reference rate reform, and addresses operational issues likely to arise in modifying contracts to replace discontinued reference rates with new rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued further clarifying guidance regarding derivatives, as it relates to this transition. The guidance is effective through December 31, 2022. The Company’s Amended Credit Agreement (Note 8) and corresponding interest rate Swaps (Note 9) each mature in February 2026. In March 2021, the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Association announced that it will extend the publication of overnight, 1, 3, 6 and 12 month LIBOR rates until June 30, 2023, while ceasing publication of all other LIBOR rates including 1 week and 2 month rates. The Company's Amended Credit Agreement was further amended in October 2021 and in April 2022 to address the replacement of LIBOR via the LIBOR Transition Agreement and Amendment No. 1, respectively (see Note 8), with SOFR. The Company's corresponding interest rate Swaps were amended in May 2022 to address the replacement of

LIBOR. As a result of the Company's contract amendments to address the replacement of LIBOR, the Company does not anticipate a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow as a result of this change.

In October 2021, the FASB amended its guidance related to business combinations. The amended guidance requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in business combinations on the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amended guidance as the guidance will be applicable to future acquisitions.

In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted tax legislation commonly referred to as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) into law. The IRA will impose a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of certain stock repurchased by a public traded company after December 31, 2022 and restored and modified certain tax-related energy incentives. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow as a result of this change.

In September 2022, the FASB amended its guidance related to supplier finance programs. The amended guidance requires additional disclosures surrounding the use of supplier finance programs to purchase goods or services including disclosing the key terms of the programs, the amount of obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, and a roll-forward of those obligations. The new guidance, except the amendment on roll-forward information, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendment on roll-forward information is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this amended guidance will have on the Company's Financial Statements.
