Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OrthoPediatrics Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, OrthoPediatrics US Distribution Corp., OrthoPediatrics EU Limited, OrthoPediatrics AUS PTY LTD, OrthoPediatrics NZ Limited, OP EU B.V., and OP Netherlands B.V., Vilex in Tennessee, Inc., and Orthex, LLC (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Following the acquisition of Vilex, we received Board approval to take the steps necessary to divest the non-core Vilex assets and the divestiture was completed on December 31, 2019. As a result, the results of Vilex have been classified as discontinued operations within the consolidated financial statements.

We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming our Company will continue as a going concern. We have experienced recurring losses from operations since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of $128,822 and $115,091 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In conjunction with the acquisition of Vilex and Orthex, the Company entered into a new $30,000 short-term loan facility with Squadron in addition to the existing $20,000 term loan facility and $15,000 revolving credit facility previously established. On December 31, 2019, the
Company paid the Term Note B in full using $25,000 received in exchange for the divestiture of the adult product offerings of Vilex and establishment of the Orthex license agreement and $5,000 from the available Squadron revolving loan. The maturity date for the remaining Squadron debt is January 31, 2023. Management continues to monitor cash flows and liquidity on a regular basis. We believe that our cash balance at December 31, 2019 and expected cash flows from operations for the next twelve months subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements, are sufficient to enable us to maintain current and essential planned operations for more than the next twelve months.

On October 12, 2017, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of our common stock, in which we issued and sold 4.6 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $59,800. We received approximately $46,900 in net proceeds after deducting $4,200 of underwriting discounts and commissions, paying approximately $2,700 of offering costs and paying approximately $6,000 of Series B dividends. Upon the closing of the IPO, all of the outstanding shares of Series A and B redeemable convertible preferred stock and the Series A accrued dividends and the $16,000 cash preference payment automatically converted into shares of common stock at a 1:1 conversion ratio.

On December 11, 2018, we completed a follow-on offering of our common stock, in which we issued and sold 1.725 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $27.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $46,575. We received $43,423 in net proceeds after deducting $2,800 of underwriting discounts and commissions and paying $352 in offering costs.

On December 13, 2019, we completed a follow-on offering of our common stock, in which we issued and sold 1.755 million shares at a public offering price of $36.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $64,076. We received $59,996 in net proceeds after deducting $3,845 of underwriting discounts and commissions and paying $235 in underwriting commissions and offering costs.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We use historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for our judgments and estimates. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Any changes in these estimates will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Transactions

We currently bill our international distributors in U.S. dollars, resulting in minimal foreign exchange transaction expense.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2017, we began selling direct within the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand and billing using the local currency for each country. In September 2018, we began selling direct in Canada and in January 2019 we expanded to Belgium and the Netherlands. Additionally, in March 2019 we established a holding company and an operating company in the Netherlands that are expected to enhance our operations in Europe. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are accounted for and have been translated into U.S. dollars using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Foreign currency translation adjustments have been recorded as a separate component of the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value and provide a consistent framework for measuring fair value under the authoritative literature.  Valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs.  Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions.  This guidance only applies when other standards require or permit the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities.  The guidance does not expand the use of fair value measurements.  A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels.
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.  Generally, these fair value measures are model-based valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, and are based on the best information available, including our own data.   

We do not have any assets or liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis under the presented fair value hierarchy.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company adopted ASC 606, "Revenue From Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)", on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated historical financial statements. The reported results for 2019 and 2018 reflect the application of ASC 606 guidance while the reported results for 2017 were prepared under the guidance of "ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605)." In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services, and excludes any sales incentives or taxes collected from a customer which are subsequently remitted to government authorities.

Revenue Recognition – United States

Revenue in the United States is generated primarily from the sale of our implants and, to a much lesser extent, from the sale of our instruments. Sales in the United States are primarily to hospital accounts through independent sales agencies. We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. This typically occurs when we transfer control of our products to the customers, generally upon implantation or when title passes upon shipment. The products are generally consigned to our independent sales agencies, and revenue is recognized when the products are used by or shipped to the hospital for surgeries on a case by case basis. On rare occasions, hospitals purchase product for their own inventory, and revenue is recognized when the products are shipped and the title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Pricing for each customer is dictated by a unique pricing agreement, which does not generally include rebates or discounts. Sales to two of our independent sales agencies accounted for 12.3% and 12.2% of our revenue in 2019. Sales to two of our independent sales agencies accounted for 12.1% and 11.2% of our revenue in 2018, respectively. Sales to two of our independent sales agencies accounted for 10.1% and 10.1% of our revenue in 2017, respectively.

In conjunction with the sale of Vilex, we entered into an exclusive perpetual license agreement to permit the purchasers of Vilex the ability to sell products using the external fixation technology of Orthex, LLC to non-pediatric accounts. This license agreement was valued at $12,410 and recorded as deferred revenue on our December 31, 2019 balance sheet. This deferred revenue will be recognized on a proportional basis relative to the total expected Orthex sales subject to this license and distribution arrangement.

Revenue Recognition – International

Outside of the United States, we primarily sell our products through independent stocking distributors. Generally, the distributors are allowed to return products, and some are thinly capitalized. Based on our history of collections and returns from international customers, prior to 2019, we concluded that collectibility was not reasonably assured at the time of delivery for certain customers who had not evidenced a consistent pattern of timely payment. Accordingly, in the past we did not recognize international revenue and associated cost of revenue at the time title transfers for these customers for whom collectibility had not been deemed probable based on the customer’s history and ability to pay, but rather when cash had been received.
Following a review of our collection history, we deemed collectibility was probable for all international stocking distributors effective January 1, 2019. Based on a history of reliable collections, we have concluded that a contract exists and revenue should be recognized when we transfer control of our products to the customer, generally upon implantation or when title passes upon shipment.
In early 2017, we expanded operations and established legal entities in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand and in Canada in September 2018. In January 2019 we expanded to Belgium and the Netherlands permitting us to sell under an agency model direct to local hospitals in these countries. Additionally, in March 2019 we established a holding company and an operating company in the Netherlands that are expected to enhance our operations in Europe . The products are generally consigned to our independent sales agencies, and revenue is recognized when the products are used by or shipped to the hospital for surgeries on a case by case basis. On rare occasions, hospitals purchase products for their own inventory, and revenue is recognized when the products are shipped and the title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Pricing for each customer is dictated by a unique pricing agreement, which does not generally include rebates or discounts.

Cash

We maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. To date, we have not experienced any loss in such accounts. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less at inception to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Restricted Cash

In conjunction with the sale of Vilex, $1,250 was placed into a separate escrow account. This cash is reported as restricted cash on the December 31, 2019 consolidated balance sheet. These funds will remain restricted until August 31, 2021 at which time, they will be released to the Company subject to no claims related to the purchase.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, generally requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Account balances with invoices over 30 days past due are considered delinquent. No interest is charged on past due accounts. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer's remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the customer's account as an unapplied credit.

The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected, determined principally on the basis of historical experience, management's assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible or to require an excessive collection cost are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories, net

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in-first-out method. Inventories, which consist of implants and instruments held in our warehouse or with third-party independent sales agencies or distributors, are considered finished goods and are purchased from third parties.

We evaluate the carrying value of our inventories in relation to the estimated forecast of product demand, which takes into consideration the life cycle of the product. A significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory on hand, which could lead to additional charges for excess and obsolete inventory.

The need to maintain substantial levels of inventory impacts our estimates for excess and obsolete inventory. Each of our implant systems are designed to include implantable products that come in different sizes and shapes to accommodate the surgeon’s needs. Typically, a small number of the set components are used in each surgical procedure. Certain components within each set may become obsolete before other components based on the usage patterns. We adjust inventory values, as needed, to reflect these usage patterns and life cycle.

In addition, we continue to introduce new products, which may require us to take additional charges for excess and obsolete inventory in the future.

Charges for excess and obsolete inventory are included in cost of revenue and were $604, $504 and $344 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Costs Related to the Initial Public Offering

At the time of the IPO, $1,840 of additional costs, primarily consisting of legal, accounting and other direct fees and costs related to the IPO incurred during 2017 and were initially deferred and capitalized and then reclassified to stockholders’ equity at the conclusion of our IPO on October 12, 2017. Additionally, $1,986 and $2,049 of additional non-cash expense related to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock was included in general and administrative expenses in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Costs Related to the Follow-on Offerings

On December 11, 2018, we completed a follow-on offering of our common stock. Offering expenses of $352, primarily consisting of legal, accounting and other direct fees and costs related to the offering, were initially deferred and capitalized and then reclassified to stockholders' equity at the conclusion of our follow-on offering on December 11, 2018.

On December 13, 2019, we completed another offering of our common stock. Offering expenses of $235, primarily consisting of legal, accounting and other direct fees and costs related to the offering were recorded in stockholder's equity at the conclusion of our offering.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations for the period. Maintenance and repairs that prolong or extend the useful life are capitalized, whereas standard maintenance, replacements, and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Instruments are hand-held devices, specifically designed for use with our implants and are used by surgeons during surgery. Instruments deployed within the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Belgium and Netherlands are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and are recorded in property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

Sample inventory consists of our implants and instruments, and is maintained to market and promote our products. Sample inventory is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciable lives are generally as follows:
Building and building improvements
25 to 30 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 to 7 years
Computer equipment
3 to 5 years
Business software
3 years
Office and other equipment
5 to 7 years
Instruments
5 years
Sample inventory
2 years

Amortizable Intangible Assets, net

Amortizable intangible assets include fees necessary to secure various patents and licenses, and the value of internally developed software, customer relationships and non-competition agreements related to the acquisition of Orthex. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the patents and licenses. Amortization for patents and licenses commences at the time of patent approval, and for licenses upon market launch, respectively. Intangible assets are amortized over a 3 to 20 year period.

Amortizable intangible assets are assessed for impairment upon triggering events that indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the associated asset. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount exceeds the fair market value of the intangible assets. No impairment charges were recorded in any of the periods presented.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Our goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. The determination of the value of goodwill and intangible assets arising from acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is assessed for impairment using fair value measurement techniques on an annual basis or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant such a review. The goodwill is considered to be impaired if we determine that the carrying value of our one reporting unit exceeds its respective fair value. No impairment changes were recorded in the current year.

We have indefinite lived tradename assets that are reviewed for impairment by performing a quantitative analysis, which occurs annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the associated asset. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the assets. No impairment charges were recorded in any of the periods presented.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs that are billed to the customer are included in net revenue and were $599, $513 and $336, for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Shipping and handling costs that are not billed to the customer are included in sales and marketing expenses and were $2,788, $2,148 and $1,783, for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of products purchased from third-party suppliers, excess and obsolete inventory adjustments, inbound freight, and royalties. Our implants and instruments are manufactured to our specifications by third-party suppliers who meet our manufacturer qualifications standards. Our third-party manufacturers are required to meet Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), International Organization for Standardization and other country-specific quality standards. The majority of our implants and instruments are produced in the United States.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of commissions to our domestic and select international independent sales agencies and consignment distributors, as well as compensation, commissions, benefits and other related costs for personnel we employ. Commissions and bonuses are generally based on a percentage of sales. Our international independent stocking distributors purchase instrument sets and replenishment stock for resale, and we do not pay commissions or any other sales related costs for international sales to distributors.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs consist primarily of print advertising, trade shows, and other related expenses. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a component of sales and marketing expense. Advertising costs were $1,422, $978 and $1,128 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Our research and development expenses primarily consist of costs associated with engineering, product development, consulting services, outside prototyping services, outside research activities, materials, development and protection of our intellectual property portfolio, as well as other costs associated with development of our products. Research and development costs also include related personnel and consultants’ compensation expense.
Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to our IPO, we maintained an Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) that provides for grants of options and restricted stock to employees, directors and associated third-party representatives of our company as determined by the Board of Directors. The 2007 Plan had authorized 1,585,000 shares for award.

Immediately prior to our IPO, we adopted our 2017 Incentive Award Plan (the “2017 Plan”) which replaced the 2007 Plan. The 2017 Plan provides for grants of options and restricted stock to officers, employees, consultants or directors of our Company. The 2017 Plan has authorized 1,789,647 shares for award.

Options holders, upon vesting, may purchase common stock at the exercise price, which is the estimated fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. Option grants generally vest immediately or over a three years period. No stock options were granted in any of the periods presented.

Restricted stock may not be transferred prior to the expiration of the restricted period. The restricted stock that has been granted under the 2007 Plan has restriction periods that generally last until the earlier of six years from the date of grant, or an initial public offering or change in control, as defined in the 2007 Plan. All restricted stock granted prior to May 2014 vested upon our IPO and the remaining grants under the 2007 Plan vested six months after the IPO. Generally under the 2017 plan, restricted stock vests over a three year period. We have elected to recognize the reversal of stock compensation expense when a restricted stock forfeiture occurs as opposed to estimating future forfeitures.

We record the fair value of restricted stock at the grant date. Stock-based compensation is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the restriction period for restricted stock.

In determining the fair value of our common stock at the grant date for awards issued prior to our IPO, which is the basis for the fair value of stock based awards, we use the market approach, which is based on the assumption that the value of an asset is equal to the value of a substitute asset with the same characteristics. In using the market approach, we consider both the guideline public company method and the precedent transaction method. Given the absence of a public trading market for our common stock at that time, we exercise reasonable judgment and consider a number of objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair value of our common stock, including: the preferences and dividends of our redeemable convertible preferred stock relative to those of our common stock; our operating results and financial conditions, including our level of available capital resources; equity market conditions affecting comparable public companies; general U.S. market conditions; and the lack of marketability of our common stock. Prior to our IPO, for restricted stock awards we applied a discount for lack of marketability to the fair value of common shares due to estimate the impact of valuing a minority interest in our Company as a closely held, non-public company with no liquid market for its shares. 

OrthoPediatrics Foundation for Education and Research

The Company may periodically make contributions to the OrthoPediatrics Foundation for Education and Research (the "Foundation"). The Foundation was incorporated in 2018 exclusively for pediatric orthopedic research and education and qualifies under IRC 501(c)(3) as an exempt private foundation. The mission of the Foundation is to enhance the knowledge and experience, through education and research, of surgical trainees or practicing surgeons who are involved in helping children with orthopaedic disorders and injuries. The Foundation is a separate legal entity and is not a subsidiary of the Company; therefore, its results are not included in these consolidated financial statements. The Company contributed $0.5 million and $0.2 million to the Foundation during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These contributions were recorded in general and administrative expenses.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments.
Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by 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.

We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance.

We record uncertain tax positions on the bases of a two-step process in which (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the positions and (2) for those tax positions that do not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

“Emerging Growth Company” Reporting Requirements

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as a company is deemed to be an emerging growth company, it may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other regulatory requirements that are generally unavailable to other public companies. Among other things, we are not required to provide an auditor attestation report on the assessment of the internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

In April 2017, the SEC adopted new rules that included an inflation-adjusted threshold in the definition of an emerging growth company. Under the new inflation-adjusted threshold, we would cease to be an emerging growth company on the last day of the fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion. This is an increase of $70 million from the previous $1 billion threshold.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases,” which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019.

The new standard requires lessees to recognize both the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the
balance sheet for most leases, whereas under previous GAAP only finance lease liabilities (previously referred to as capital leases) were recognized in the balance sheet. In addition, the definition of a lease has been revised which may result in changes to the classification of an arrangement as a lease. Under the new standard, an arrangement that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset by obtaining substantially all of its economic benefits and directing how it is used is a lease, whereas the previous definition focuses on the ability to control the use of the asset or to obtain its output. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to the amount, timing and judgments of an entity’s accounting for leases and the related cash flows are expanded. Disclosure requirements apply to both lessees and lessors, whereas previous disclosures related only to lessees. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous GAAP. Lessor accounting is also largely unchanged.
The new standard provides a number of transition practical expedients, which the Company has elected, including:

a "package of three" expedients that must be taken together and allow entities to (1) not reassess whether existing contracts contain leases, (2) carryforward the existing lease classification, and (3) not reassess initial direct costs associated with existing leases, and

an implementation expedient which allows the requirements of the standard in the period of adoption with no restatement of prior periods.

The adoption of the new standard on January 1, 2019 did not result in material right of use asset or lease obligation for operating leases recorded in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to an insignificant number of lease contracts or other contracts that meet the standard for consideration as a lease under the definitions discussed above. The Company has limited operating leases for office equipment maintained at its headquarters, but does lease any real estate or office space.

In conjunction with the Company's acquisition of Vilex and Orthex on June 4, 2019, the Company acquired two leased facilities in Tennessee and Florida. The Company analyzed each lease agreement and recorded a right-of-use asset and liability of $77 for Orthex and $246 for Vilex, respectively, on its consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date. The Vilex balances were recorded to assets held for sale, and were removed concurrent with the sale of Vilex to Squadron on December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company's right-of-use asset and liabilities were $64 and $63, respectively, associated with Orthex.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments". The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financials assets including trade receivables held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-16 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". This pronouncement eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and requires an entity to perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Under this guidance, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. It is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, although earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements in future periods.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 "Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside cost basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial position and results of operations.
