Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include the Company’s unrestricted deposits with investment-grade financial institutions, institutional money market funds, certificates of deposit, and commercial paper. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with stated maturity dates of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of bank deposits and money market funds that are: (i) pledged as security for transactions processed on or related to LendingClub’s platform or activities by certain investors; and (ii) received from the borrower and applied to the loan, but not yet distributed to the investor’s internal platform account or sent to their external account.

Investor cash balances (excluding transactions-in-process) are held in segregated bank or custodial accounts and are not commingled with the Company’s monies or held on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Securities Available for Sale
Securities Available for Sale

Debt securities that the Company might not hold until maturity are classified as securities available for sale. In structured program transactions that meet the applicable criteria to be accounted for as a sale, the Company retains certain asset-backed securities including subordinated residual interests and CLUB Certificates, which are classified as securities available for sale. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are reported, net of taxes, in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” included in Equity in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets unless management determines that a security is other-than-temporarily impaired (OTTI). Realized gains and losses from sales of securities available for sale are included in “Net fair value adjustments” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Management evaluates whether debt securities available for sale with unrealized losses are OTTI on a quarterly basis. If the Company intends to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, an OTTI is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and fair value of the debt security. However, even if the Company does not expect to sell a debt security it must evaluate the expected cash flows to be received and determine if a credit loss exists. In the event of a credit loss, only the amount of impairment associated with the credit loss is recognized in earnings and amounts related to factors other than credit losses are recorded in other comprehensive income. Impairment charges are recorded in “Net fair value adjustments” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Loans Held for Investment by the Company
Loans Held for Investment by the Company and Loans Held for Sale by the Company

The Company has elected the fair value option for loans held for investment by the Company and loans held for sale by the Company. Changes in the fair value of loans held by the Company are recorded in “Net fair value adjustments” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of the fair value changes. The Company places loans held by the Company on non-accrual status at 90 days past due. Accrued interest income on loans held by the Company is calculated based on the contractual interest rate of the loan held by the Company and recorded as interest income as earned. When a loan held by the Company is placed on non-accrual status, the Company stops accruing interest and reverses all accrued but unpaid interest as of such date. The Company charges-off loans held by the Company no later than 120 days past due.

The Company has elected the fair value option for loans held for investment by the Company and loans held for sale by the Company. Changes in the fair value of loans held by the Company are recorded in “Net fair value adjustments” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of the fair value changes. The Company places loans held by the Company on non-accrual status at 90 days past due. Accrued interest income on loans held by the Company is calculated based on the contractual interest rate of the loan held by the Company and recorded as interest income as earned. When a loan held by the Company is placed on non-accrual status, the Company stops accruing interest and reverses all accrued but unpaid interest as of such date. The Company charges-off loans held by the Company no later than 120 days past due.

Loans Held for Investment and Related Notes and Certificates
Loans Held for Investment and Related Notes and Certificates

The Company has elected the fair value option for loans held for investment and related notes and certificates. Due to the payment dependent feature of the notes and certificates, changes in the fair value of the notes and certificates are offset by changes in the fair values of related loans, resulting in no net effect on the Company’s earnings. The Company places loans held for investment on non-accrual status at 90 days past due. Interest receivable on loans held for investment and accrued interest payable on notes and certificates are reduced when the corresponding loan held for investment is placed on non-accrual status due to the payment dependent nature of the loans held for investment and related notes and certificates. The Company charges-off loans held for investment and related notes and certificates no later than 120 days past due.
Servicing Assets and Liabilities
Servicing Assets

The Company records servicing assets at their estimated fair values when it sells loans or when the Company assumes or acquires a servicing obligation whereby the underlying loans are not included in its financial statements. The gain or loss on a loan sale is recorded separately in “Gain on sales of loans” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations while the component of the gain or loss that is based on the degree to which the contractual servicing fee is above or below an estimated market servicing rate is recorded as a servicing asset. Servicing assets are reported in “Other assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of servicing assets are reported in “Investor fees” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the changes occur.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell a financial asset or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The Company uses fair value measurements in its fair value disclosures and to record securities available for sale, loans held for investment and loans held for sale, notes and certificates, and servicing assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis.

The fair value hierarchy includes a three-level classification, which is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable:
Level 1
Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 
 
Level 2
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.
 
 
 
Level 3
Unobservable inputs.

When developing fair value measurements, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. However, for certain instruments the Company must utilize unobservable inputs in determining fair value due to the lack of observable inputs in the market, which requires greater judgment in measuring fair value. In instances where there is limited or no observable market data, fair value measurements for assets and liabilities are based primarily upon the Company’s own estimates, and the measurements reflect information and assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Loans held for investment, loans held for sale and related notes, certificates and secured borrowings, are measured at estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model. The fair valuation methodology considers projected prepayments, underwriting changes and the historical actual defaults, losses and recoveries on the Company’s loans to project future losses and net cash flows on loans. Net cash flows on loans are discounted using an estimate of market rates of return.

Loan servicing assets are measured at estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows in the valuation model represent the difference between the contractual servicing fees charged to investors and an estimated market servicing rate. Since contractual servicing fees are generally based on the monthly unpaid principal balance of the underlying loans, the expected cash flows in the model incorporate estimates of net expected losses and prepayments.

The Company uses prices obtained from third-party pricing services to measure the fair value of securities available for sale when available. The Company compares the prices obtained from its primary independent pricing service to the prices obtained from the additional independent pricing services to determine if the price obtained from the primary independent pricing service is reasonable. When third-party pricing services are not available for a security, such as subordinated residual certificates and CLUB Certificates, the Company measures the fair value of these securities using a discounted cash flow model incorporating inputs consistent with loans held for investment, loans held for sale and related notes, certificates, secured borrowings, and payable to securitization note and certificate holders.

Property, Equipment and Software, Net
Property, Equipment and Software, net

Property, equipment and software are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation and amortization. Estimated useful lives range from three years to five years for furniture and fixtures, computer equipment, and software. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life.

Internally developed software is capitalized when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Capitalized costs consist of salaries and compensation costs for employees, fees paid to third-party consultants who are directly involved in development efforts, and costs incurred for upgrades and enhancements to add functionality of the software. Other costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company evaluates impairments of its property, equipment and software whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the asset is not recoverable, measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the fair value of an acquired business in excess of the aggregate fair value of the identified net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently whenever events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is April 1. Impairment exists whenever the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. Adverse changes in impairment indicators such as loss of key personnel, lower than forecast financial performance, increased competition, increased regulatory oversight, or unplanned changes in operations could result in impairment.

The Company can elect to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment if it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit (generally defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment for which financial information is available and reviewed regularly by management) exceeds its carrying value. A qualitative assessment may consider macroeconomic and other industry-specific factors, such as trends in short-term and long-term interest rates and the ability to access capital or company-specific factors, such as market capitalization in excess of net assets, trends in revenue-generating activities and merger or acquisition activity.

If the Company does not qualitatively assess goodwill it compares a reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using either an income approach (discounted cash flow model) or the income approach corroborated by a market approach. Goodwill impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

When applying the income approach, the Company uses a discounted cash flow model, which requires the estimation of cash flows and an appropriate discount rate. The Company projects cash flows expected to be generated by a reporting unit inclusive of an estimated terminal value. The discount rate assumption contemplates a weighted-average cost of capital based on both market observable and company-specific factors. The discount rate is risk-adjusted to include any premiums related to equity price volatility, size, and projected capital structure of publicly traded companies in similar lines of business.

The Company relies on several assumptions when estimating the fair value of a reporting unit using the discounted cash flow method. These assumptions include the current discount rate discussed above, as well as transaction fee revenue based on projected loan origination growth and revenue growth, projected operating expenses and Contribution Margin, direct and allocated general and administrative and technology expenses, capital expenditures and income taxes. The Company believes these assumptions to be representative of assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing a reporting unit, but these assumptions involve the use of estimates and judgments, particularly related to future cash flows, which are inherently uncertain. There can be no assurances that estimates and assumptions made for purposes of goodwill impairment testing will prove accurate predictions of the future.

The market approach estimates the fair value of a reporting unit based on certain market value multiples of publicly traded companies in similar lines of business, such as total enterprise value to revenue, or to EBITDA. Under the market approach, the Company also considers fair value implied from any relevant and comparable market transactions.

Goodwill impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. See “Note 11. Intangible Assets and Goodwill for additional information.

Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives in a manner that best reflects their economic benefit, which may include straight-line or accelerated methods of amortization. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment quarterly and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company does not have indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Loss Contingencies
Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Associated legal expense is recorded in “Other general and administrative” expense or in “Class action and regulatory litigation expense” for the losses associated with the securities class action lawsuits, as described in “Note 19. Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Such liabilities and associated expenses are recorded when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company will also disclose a range of exposure to incremental loss when such amounts are reasonably possible and can be estimated. In estimating the Company’s exposure to loss contingencies, if an amount within the estimated range of loss is the best estimate, that amount will be accrued. However, if there is no amount within the estimated range of loss that is the best estimate, the Company will accrue the minimum amount within the range, and disclose the amount up to the high end of the range as an exposure to incremental loss, if such amount is considered reasonably possible. Such estimates are based on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability and records an adjustment to its estimate in the period in which the adjustment is probable and an amount or range can be reasonably estimated. The determination of an expected contingent liability and associated litigation expense requires the
Company to make assumptions related to the outcome of these matters. Due to the inherent uncertainties of loss contingencies, the Company’s estimates may be different than the actual outcomes. Legal fees, including legal fees associated with loss contingencies, are recognized as incurred and included in “Other general and administrative” expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Insurance Recoveries
Insurance Recoveries

Insurance recoveries of all or a portion of incurred losses are recognized when realization of the claim for recovery is probable. Any insurance recoveries in excess of losses incurred are accounted for as a gain contingency. Insurance recoveries are recorded in “Other assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Insurance recoveries associated with the reimbursement of legal expenses arising from loss contingencies and legal fees are recorded as a contra-expense in “Other general and administrative” expense or, if such recoveries are associated with the securities class action lawsuits, as a contra-expense in “Class action and regulatory litigation expense” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition

Transaction Fees: The Company has a single performance obligation to provide customers access to the Company’s platform. Transaction fees are considered revenue from contracts with customers, including issuing banks and education and patient service providers. The Company recognizes transaction fee revenue each time a loan is facilitated by the Company, who provides loan application processing and loan facilitation services, resulting in a loan issued by the customers.

Transaction fees are based on the initial principal amount of the loans facilitated by the Company and paid by the issuing banks and education and patient service providers each time a loan is issued by the issuing banks. Transaction fees to which the Company expects to be entitled are variable consideration because loan volume originated over the contractual term is not known at the contract’s inception. The transaction fee is determined each time a loan is issued based on that loan’s initial principal amount.

The Company pays WebBank a loan trailing fee to give WebBank an ongoing financial interest in the performance of the loans it originates and sells to the Company. The Loan Trailing Fee is paid over time based on the amount and timing of principal and interest payments made by borrowers of the underlying loans. The Loan Trailing Fee is consideration payable to WebBank and the loan trailing fee liability is recorded at fair value. Additionally, the Company assumes the issuing bank’s obligation under Utah law to refund the pro-rated amount of the transaction fee in excess of 5% in the event the borrower prepays the loan in full before maturity. Both the loan trailing fees and transaction fee refunds are recorded as a reduction of transaction fee revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and are included in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other Revenue: Other revenue primarily consists of referral fee revenue and sublease revenue from our sublet office space in San Francisco, California. The Company is entitled to receive referral fees from third-party companies when customers referred by the Company consider or purchase products or services from such third-party companies. Referral contracts contain a single performance obligation. The Company recognizes referral fees for each distinct instance when the criteria for receiving the referral fee has been satisfied. Sublease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation includes expense associated with restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PBRSUs), stock options, and the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), as well as expense associated with stock issued related to acquisitions. Stock-based compensation expense is based on the
grant date fair value of the award. The cost is generally recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers the available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not expected to be realized. If the Company determines that it is able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, the Company decreases the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which reduces the provision for income taxes.

Uncertain tax positions are recognized only when we believe it is more likely than not that the tax position will be upheld on examination by the taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in “Income tax expense (benefit)” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share (Basic EPS) attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to LendingClub by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share (Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to LendingClub by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effects of dilutive shares of common stock, which include incremental shares issued for RSUs, PBRSUs, and stock options. PBRSUs are included in dilutive shares to the extent the pre-established targets have been or are estimated to be satisfied as of the reporting date. The dilutive potential common shares are computed using the treasury stock method. The effects of outstanding RSUs, PBRSUs, and stock options are excluded from the computation of Diluted EPS in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

A variable interest entity (VIE) is a legal entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The Company’s variable interest arises from contractual, ownership or other monetary interests in the entity, which change with fluctuations in the fair value of the entity’s net assets. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company assesses whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis.

Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of Financial Assets

The Company accounts for transfers of financial assets as sales when it has surrendered control over the transferred assets. Control is generally considered to have been surrendered when the transferred assets have been legally isolated from the Company, the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the assets without any significant constraints, and the Company has not entered into a repurchase agreement, does not hold unconditional call options and has not written put options on the transferred assets. In assessing whether control has been surrendered, the Company considers whether the transferee would be a consolidated affiliate and the impact of all arrangements or agreements made contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of the transfer, even if they were not entered into at the time of transfer. The Company measures gain or loss on sale of financial assets as the net proceeds received on the sale less the carrying amount of the loans sold. The net proceeds of the sale represent the fair value of any assets obtained or liabilities incurred as part of the transaction, including, but not limited to servicing assets, retained securities, and recourse obligations.

Transfers of financial assets that do not qualify for sale accounting are reported as secured borrowings. Accordingly, the related assets remain on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and continue to be reported and accounted for as if the transfer had not occurred. Cash proceeds from these transfers are reported as liabilities, with related interest expense recognized over the life of the related assets.
New Accounting Standards
Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company adopted the following accounting standards during the year ended December 31, 2019:

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), requires lessees to record on their balance sheets a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use (ROU) asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 and has elected not to restate comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has chosen not to elect the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, permits entities to carry forward their historical lease identification. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease liabilities and ROU assets for short-term leases, which are leases with initial terms of 12 months or less and for which there is not a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. All leases within the Company’s portfolio are classified as operating leases.

Adoption of Topic 842 had an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets but did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities of $95.2 million and $110.1 million at the time of adoption, respectively, with no cumulative effect in retained earnings. The difference between the ROU assets and lease liabilities is the unamortized balance of deferred rent, which prior to January 1, 2019, was included as a separate liability within Accrued expenses and other liabilities. The operating lease expenses are included in Other general and administrative expense and sublease income is recorded in Other revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company included the disclosures required by ASU 2016-02 in “Note 18. Leases.”

In July 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2019-07, Codification Updates to SEC Sections. The ASU clarifies and/or improves the disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of codification topics by aligning them with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s regulations, thereby eliminating redundancies and making the codification easier to apply. This ASU became effective upon issuance and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB amended guidance related to impairment of financial instruments as part of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which became effective on January 1, 2020. For loans accounted for at amortized cost, the guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with an expected credit loss model for which a company recognizes an allowance based on the estimate of expected credit loss. Because the Company has elected the fair value option for loans and loans accounted for at fair value through net income are outside the scope of Topic 326, the Company expects no impact on its loan portfolios upon adoption. For accrued interest receivable related to such loans, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable as the Company writes off uncollectible accrued interest receivable in a timely manner. Uncollectible accrued interest receivable amounts are written off to interest income.

For debt securities available for sale, Topic 326 requires recognition of expected credit losses by recognizing an allowance for credit losses when the fair value of the security is below amortized cost and the recognition of this allowance is limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and fair value. The standard eliminates the existing guidance for purchased credit impaired assets but requires an allowance for purchased financial assets with more than insignificant deterioration since origination. The measurement guidance for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration also applies to beneficial interests classified as available for sale where there is a significant difference between contractual and expected cash flows at the date of recognition.

Upon adoption, the amendments in Topic 326 will be recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, except for debt securities with prior other-than-temporary impairment whereby Topic 326 is applied prospectively. The Company made substantial progress in line with the established project plan and determined there was not a transition adjustment upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2020. The targeted amendments to the debt securities available for sale impairment model do not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and disclosures for transition securities; the Company is still evaluating the impact for new securities acquired on and after January 1, 2020.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The ASU eliminates such disclosures as the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU adds new disclosure requirements for Level 3 measurements. The new guidance became effective on January 1, 2020. The Company is finalizing the impact this ASU will have on its disclosures and does not expect such adoption to have a material impact.

In August 2018, the 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 requires a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. The standard became effective on January 1, 2020 and the Company adopted the standard using the prospective approach. The Company has reviewed existing cloud computing arrangements and determined which ones are service contracts. Implementation costs that are not from internal developers related to service contracts that satisfy the criteria for capitalization under ASC 350-40 will be presented with “Other assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, amortization expense will be presented in the same line on the income statement as the fees for the associated hosted service on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, and the cash flows will be presented consistent with the presentation of cash flows for the fees related to the hosted service, generally as cash flows from operations, on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company does not expect such adoption will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is part of the FASB’s initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The proposed ASU eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, and simplifies income tax accounting in several areas. The standard is effective on January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt early for the interim period ending March 31, 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and disclosures, but does not expect such adoption to have a material impact.
