Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Convertible Debt. In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature, and as a result, after adoption, entities will no longer separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature for such debt. Similarly, the embedded conversion feature will no longer be amortized into income as interest expense over the life of the instrument. Instead, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2022. In the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, the adoption of the new standard impacted the accounting for the Company’s $320.0 million of convertible debt issued in March 2022, as further described in Note 9. “Long-term Debt.” In particular, because the related senior notes have cash conversion features, bifurcation of the principal balance between debt and equity is no longer applicable. Additionally, this guidance requires the application of the “if-converted” method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share, as reflected in the Company’s calculations within Note 11. “Earnings per Share (EPS).”

Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, ASU 2020-04 was issued, which provides temporary optional expedients to applying the reference rate reform guidance to contracts that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. Under this update, contract modifications resulting in a new reference rate may be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract. This guidance is effective upon issuance of the update and applies to contract modifications made through December 31, 2022. The Company has certain debt which utilizes a U.S. Dollar one-month LIBOR rate, which is expected to be published until June 2023. The LIBOR rate is likely to be replaced by a similar secured or unsecured overnight financing rate. The Company cannot estimate the impact of such variable rates on its consolidated financial statements.
