NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)"
ASU No. 2018-01, "Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842"
ASU No. 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements"
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, which outlines a model for entities to use in accounting for leases and supersedes previous lease accounting guidance, as well as several practical expedients in ASU Nos. 2018-01 and 2018-11.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 utilizing a modified retrospective adoption method with the "package of three" and hindsight practical expedients offered by the standard. The "package of three" provides for an entity to not reassess at adoption whether any expired or existing contracts are deemed, for accounting purposes, to be or contain leases, the classification of any expired or existing leases, and any initial direct costs for any existing leases. As a result, the Company did not apply the new guidance to existing contracts that are or contain leases, and did not reassess the classification of those leases. The Company used the benefit of hindsight in determining both term and impairments associated with any existing leases. Use of this practical expedient has resulted in lease terms that best represent management's expectations with respect to use of the underlying asset but did not result in recognition of any impairment.
The Company elected to adopt ASU No. 2018-01, which allows an entity to exclude from application of Topic 842 all easements executed prior to January 1, 2019. In addition, the Company elected to adopt the "comparatives under 840" practical expedient offered in ASU No. 2018-11, which allows an entity to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date, recognizing any necessary cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption and presenting comparative periods in the financial statements under ASC 840 (previous lease accounting guidance). Adoption of the standard did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment within the Company's financial statements.
As allowed by ASU No. 2016-02, the Company elected not to apply the requirements of the standard to short-term leases, those leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. These leases are not recorded on the balance sheet and are immaterial to the financial statements.
Adoption of the standard impacted the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet through recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities for the Company's operating leases. Accounting for finance leases (formerly capital leases) remained substantially unchanged, except the Company reclassified the amounts as of December 31, 2018 to conform to the presentation of operating leases as of March 31, 2019. See Note 5 for further information on the Company's leases.
ASU No. 2018-02 “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, which amended the guidance for reporting comprehensive income. This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the enactment of the TCJA in December 2017. This ASU became effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption was permitted. Upon adoption, the requirements of this ASU must be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. The Company early adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 and elected to apply the guidance during the period of adoption rather than apply the standard retrospectively. As a result, the Company reclassified $1.7 million in tax benefits from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
ASU 2018-13 " Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)"
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, which amends the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820. The requirements of this ASU include additional disclosure regarding the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value estimates and the elimination of certain other previously required disclosures, such as the narrative description of the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. Entities have the option to early adopt the eliminated or modified disclosure requirements and delay the adoption of all the new disclosure requirements until the effective date of the ASU. The Company is in the process of evaluating this standard; however, it has determined that it will not early adopt any portion of this standard as of March 31, 2019.
ASU No. 2018-14 "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20)"
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, which amends ASC 715 to add, remove and/or clarify certain disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The additional disclosure requirements are primarily narrative discussion of significant changes in the benefit obligations and plan assets. The removed disclosures are primarily information about accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized over the next year and the effects of changes associated with assumed health care costs. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating this standard; however, it has determined that it will not early adopt this standard as of March 31, 2019.
