Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2018, SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, became effective, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant or outdated. The amendments include replacing the requirement to disclose the high and low trading prices of the Company’s common stock with a requirement to disclose the ticker symbol of the common stock. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholder’s equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, the changes in each caption of stockholder’s equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement for the current and comparative year-to date interim periods. The Company adopted the new disclosure requirements in the first quarter of 2019.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance for leases, codified as Topic 842, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing Right of Use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases, notwithstanding the lease classification. Under the standard, organizations are required to provide disclosures with the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessors, this amended guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. In January 2018, July 2018 and March 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11 and 2019-01, to amend narrow aspects of the standard, to add new and optional transition method for the adoption of the standard and provide lessors with a practical expedient, among others. These standards are effective for public reporting companies for annual periods, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and replaced the leasing guidance of Topic 840. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach and the transition provisions provided by ASU 2018-11. In addition, the Company applied all the practical expedients available for transition, except for the practical expedient pertaining to land easements, since it was not applicable to the Company. Accordingly, the Company accounted for its existing leases without reassessing whether (a) the contract contains a lease under Topic 842, (b) the lease classification was different in accordance to Topic 842, and (c) initial direct costs before transition met the definition of the new leasing standard. For the lease terms determination, the Company considered all facts and circumstances from the lease contract inception up to the effective date of Topic 842. The Company, as a lessee, changed the characterization of the asset recognized for capital leases under ASC 840 to a ROU asset, and the obligation to a lease liability. The Company recognized lease liabilities of $36.2 million, with corresponding ROU assets for the same amount based on the present value of the remaining lease payments of
existing operating leases entered into as a lessee with the implementation of the new leasing standard as of January 1, 2019. As a lessor, the Company changed the characterization of the asset recognized for financing leases to a net investment in lease. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance provided by Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under Topic 840.

Refer to Note 22, Commitments and Contingencies, for discussions of the implementation of the Topic 842 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance for accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The update was issued as part of the FASB simplification initiative and requires an entity to apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards, with certain exceptions, which were previously accounted under Topic 505. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2019 with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Any future grants to non-employees will be accounted for under this update.

In July 2018, the FASB issued codification improvements for various standards. The amendments represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the codification. Certain amendments included in the update were effective upon issuance of the guidance and the Company adopted them without a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The remaining guidance improvements with effective dates for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year, were adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2019, except for the amendments with a later effective date (i.e., Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement), with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued updated guidance for Topic 740 Income Taxes as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally, an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting pronouncements issued prior to 2019 and not yet adopted

In June 2016, November 2018, April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued updated guidance for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The main objective of these updates is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The updates affect trade receivables, debt securities, net investment in leases, and most other financial assets that represent a right to receive cash. Additional disclosures about significant estimates and credit quality are also required. In addition, the updated guidance also clarifies that receivables from operating leases are accounted for using the lease guidance and not as financial instruments. The updates provide an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost. As of January 1, 2020, the Company implemented the updated guidance using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings to align the credit loss methodology with the new standard. The Company implemented its new credit loss model and is updating its processes and controls. Based on the Company's assessment, the updates will have an impact on trade receivables, and other assets that represent rights to receive cash. Based on the quantitative impact analysis, the transition adjustment calculation upon adoption of the standard was not material to retained earnings. The Company has implemented appropriate changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosures under the new standard.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an updated disclosure framework for fair value measurements. The amendments in the issued update remove, modify and add disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements.
The amendments in this update are effective to all entities for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Certain amendments in the update should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020, updated disclosures will be included in future filings.

In August 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance for customer’s accounting for implementation, set-up and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively, effective January 1, 2020 and applies the guidance in this update to all implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract.

In October 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance to improve related party guidance for variable interest entities. The updated guidance requires entities to consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety when determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. These amendments should be applied retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance to clarify the interaction between the guidance for collaborative arrangements and the updated revenue recognition guidance. The amendments in this update, among other things, provide guidance on how to assess whether certain collaborative arrangement transactions should be accounted for under Topic 606. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. Contracts are evaluated under the updated guidance.
