NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Standards Implemented

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance (“Revenue Contracts with Customers Acquired in a Business Combination”) which requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination as if the acquirer had originated the contracts, in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Deferred revenue acquired in a business combination is no longer required to be measured at its fair value, which had historically resulted in a deferred revenue impairment at the date of acquisition. The guidance is effective January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has early adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2022. Our adoption did not materially affect our consolidated financial statements.

New Standards to be Implemented

In September 2022, the FASB amended its guidance related to supplier finance programs. The amended guidance requires additional disclosures surrounding the use of supplier finance programs to purchase goods or services, including disclosing the key terms of the programs, the amount of obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, and a roll-forward of those obligations. The new guidance, except the roll-forward information, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The roll-forward information is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this amended guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2022, the FASB issued guidance deferring the sunset date of ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform to December 31, 2024. The FASB previously issued temporary, optional expedients related to the accounting for contract modifications and hedging transactions as a result of markets transitioning from the use of LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The Company has evaluated the impact of the amended guidance and concluded that the guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
