Accounting Guidance Adopted During the First Quarter of 2019

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases, and related ASUs, which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by establishing a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet with additional disclosures of key information about leasing arrangements.  A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application.  An entity may choose to use either (1) the effective date of the ASU or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. The Company chose the effective date of the ASU as the date of initial application, and as a result, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.  The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients for transition and practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting, which the Company has elected. In addition, we have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition.  The effect of adoption was the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities of $36.8 million on our balance sheet for our real estate and equipment leases as of January 1, 2019. See Note 11 – Leases, for additional accounting policy information and the additional disclosures required by this ASU.

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share–based payments granted to nonemployees by aligning the accounting with the requirements for employee share–based compensation. Upon adoption of this ASU, the Company no longer revalues certain outstanding share-based awards for nonemployees, which are immaterial to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

 

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

 

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, requires entities to disclose new information, and modifies existing disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption of this ASU, disclosure changes will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

 

In August 2018, 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, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
