NOTE 2—RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2016‐13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018‐19, ASU 2019‐04, ASU 2019‐05, and ASU 2019‐11 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 changed the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, guarantees and other instruments, entities are required to use a new forward‐looking expected loss model that replaces the previous incurred loss model and generally results in earlier recognition of credit losses. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 on August 2, 2020, the effective and initial application date, using a modified‐retrospective basis as required by the standard by means of a cumulative‐effect adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. The difference between reserves and allowances recorded under the former incurred loss model and the amount determined under the current expected loss model, net of the deferred tax impact, was recorded as an adjustment to Retained earnings. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825. This ASU clarifies the accounting treatment for the measurement of credit losses under ASC 326 and provides further clarification on previously issued updates including ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities and ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Since the Company adopted ASU 2017-12 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the amendments in ASU 2019-04 related to clarifications on Accounting for Hedging Activities, which were adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, with no impact to Accumulated other comprehensive loss or Retained earnings for fiscal 2020, as the Company did not have separately measured ineffectiveness related to its cash flow hedges. The remaining amendments within ASU 2019-04 were adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 with the adoption of Topic 326. Adoption of this standard did not have a 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: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. ASU 2018-15 requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements (i.e. hosting arrangements) to be capitalized under the same premises as authoritative guidance for internal-use software, and deferred over the noncancellable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or for which the exercise is controlled by the service provider. The Company adopted this standard on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company expects to incur immaterial implementation costs in fiscal 2021. Under this standard, the Company is required to defer these costs and recognize these costs as a service expense over future periods. Adoption of this standard 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 requires entities to disclose the weighted-average interest crediting rates used, reasons for significant gains and losses affecting benefit obligations, and an explanation of any other significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets. The amendment also removed certain required disclosures. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The provisions of the new standard do not have any effect on other disclosures in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements but will require disclosure updates in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions to Topic 740’s general principles. The amendments also improve consistent application and simplifies its application. The Company is required to adopt this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of the new standard and evaluating its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
