Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform by providing expedients and exceptions related to accounting for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The amendments only apply to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. This standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, (“ASU 2019-04”). ASU 2019-04 provides updates and amendments to previously issued ASUs. The amendments clarify the scope of the credit losses standard and address issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates and prepayments. Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses were adopted as part of our adoption of ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020. These amendments did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The amendments related to Derivatives and Hedging address partial-term fair value hedges and fair value hedge basis adjustments. Codification Improvements to Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging were effective for us beginning July 1, 2019 and did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Amendments on Topic 825, Financial Instruments mainly address the scope of the guidance, the requirement for remeasurement under ASC 820 when using the measurement alternative, certain disclosure requirements and which equity securities have to be remeasured at historical exchange rates. We adopted the amendments related to Topic 825, Financial Instruments as of January 1, 2020 with no material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 350-40”) and aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020, using a prospective approach. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (“ASU 2018-14”). ASU 2018-14 eliminates, adds and clarifies certain disclosure requirements related to defined benefit plans and other postretirement plans. The guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. We have adopted ASU 2018-14 for the year ending December 31, 2020, with no impact to our interim disclosures. Our adoption of ASU 2018-14 will only impact our annual disclosures related to Defined Benefit Plans and had no impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 amends the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820, including new, eliminated and modified disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance, collectively, Topic 326. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using a modified retrospective approach which requires that the Company recognize the cumulative effect of the initial adoption, if any, as an adjustment to retained earnings. There was no cumulative gross-up or adjustment to our allowance for credit losses as a result of our adoption of ASU 2016-13. Based on financial instruments currently held by us, the adoption of ASU 2016-13 impacts our trade receivables, specifically our allowance for doubtful accounts. As part of our adoption of ASU 2016-13, we have expanded our disclosures related to credit losses. See Note 12, “Credit Losses,” to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our credit losses.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (“ASU 2020-01”). ASU 2020-01 makes improvements related to accounting for certain equity securities when the equity method of accounting is applied or discontinued and provides scope considerations related to forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect ASU 2020-01 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial results.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions to the guidance in Topic 740 related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes, enacted change in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect ASU 2019-12 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial results.
