Note 22—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step of the goodwill impairment test. This ASU will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or statements of cash flows upon adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This new standard was adopted as of the effective date of January 1, 2018. The Company has evaluated the provisions of this standard and has determined that the impact of adoption of ASU No. 2017-01 was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory. The new standard requires recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of any asset (excluding inventory) when the transfer occurs. This is a change from existing U.S. GAAP which prohibits recognition of current and deferred income taxes until the asset is sold to a third party. This new standard was adopted as of the effective date of January 1, 2018. The Company has evaluated the provisions of this standard and has determined that the impact of adoption of ASU No. 2016-16 was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The new standard supersedes present U.S. GAAP guidance on leases and requires all leases with terms longer than 12 months to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, as well as, provide additional disclosures. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease and will be measured as the present value of the lease payments. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use a specified asset for the lease term, and will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayment, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs.

The new standard is effective as of January 1, 2019. Under ASU No. 2016-02, companies are required to transition to the new standard in the period of adoption at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements (January 1, 2017 for the Company). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 as an update to ASU No. 2016-02, which in part provided companies the option of transitioning to the new standard as of the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2019 using the alternative transition method under ASU No. 2018-11 and will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet. The Company elected the available package of practical expedients for leases that commenced prior to the effective date that allows it to not reassess: 1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; 2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and 3) the accounting treatment of initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat lease and non-lease components of leases as a single lease component.

The Company is in the process of finalizing the implementation of a leasing software that will provide the required accounting disclosures and is continuing to finalize its calculations based on the new standard. Accordingly, the Company has not completed its evaluation of all aspects of the new standard.

The Company expects that the new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for substantially all leases currently accounted for as operating leases. As the Company completes its evaluation of this new standard, new information may arise that could change its current understanding of the impact to its consolidated financial statements.

The Company is also working to establish new processes and internal controls that may be required to comply with the new standard, but it does not expect it will have a material impact on the Company’s operations.
