Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are those that we believe are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, as well as those that involve significant judgments or estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in Item 8. – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on May 10, 2021 (the "Amended Form 10-K").
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance, ASU 2016-13, related to measurement of credit losses on financial instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The Company has determined that the impact of this new accounting guidance primarily affects our accounts receivable. The Company prospectively adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard had an impact of $10,097 on the beginning Accumulated deficit balance in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2020. In April 2019 and November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2019-11, respectively, effective for the same period as ASU 2016-03. These updates offered options to entities intended to bring transition relief and offered clarification on the previously issued standard, respectively. The Company's accounting for credit losses did not change as a result of these two updates.
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2018-14, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company's January 1, 2021 adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2018-15, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this update. The Company prospectively adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All future capitalized implementation costs incurred related to these hosting arrangements will be recorded as a prepaid asset and as a charge to operating expenses over the expected life of the contract.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, which provides targeted improvements or clarification and correction to the ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments Overall, ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments Credit Losses, and ASU 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging, accounting standards updates that were previously issued. The guidance is effective upon adoption of the related standards. The Company prospectively adopted the standard
on January 1, 2020. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), which provides improvements or clarification and correction to the ASU 2016-02 Leases, ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments Credit Losses, and ASU 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging, accounting standards updates. The guidance is effective upon adoption of the three ASUs, all of which the Company had already adopted. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company's January 1, 2021 adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective for all entities from the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company adopted this standard and elected the optional expedients for its interest rate swap agreements and debt agreements with reference to LIBOR. Upon meeting the specified criteria in the guidance, the Company will continue to account for its interest rate swaps in accordance with hedge accounting and will not apply modification accounting to its debt agreements. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which made clarifications relating to the previously issued Reference Rate Reform guidance effective for the same period as ASU 2020-04. This clarification did not have an effect on how the Company accounts for its interest rate swaps and debt agreements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity as a result of complexity associated with GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods. The Company will adopt ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022, and it is expected that the adoption will not have a material impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, which provides guidance regarding the accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022, and it is expected that the adoption will not have a material impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842) Lessors – Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments, in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities as well as disclosing key information about leasing transactions. This guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. The Company will adopt ASU 2021-05 effective January 1, 2022, and is still evaluating the impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

There were no other new accounting standards or updates issued or effective as of September 30, 2021, that have, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
