18. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Pronouncements Adopted in 2019

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 ("Leases"), which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 ("Targeted Improvements to Leases"), which

provides companies with an additional transition method that allows the effects of the adoption of the new standard to be recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We elected this optional transition method for adoption. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 had a material impact to our Consolidated Balance Sheet; but not to our Consolidated Statement of Operations or Cash Flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of $77.5 million of ROU assets and liabilities for operating leases, while our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged.

Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 ("Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments") which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, including accounting policies, processes and systems.
