New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance requiring a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to apply the guidance on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to recognize as an asset and which costs to expense.  The capitalized implementation costs are required to be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.  The Company has adopted this new standard and elected to use the prospective approach.  

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) and requires certain disclosures regarding stranded tax effects. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this change by adjusting certain December 31, 2017 stockholders’ equity accounts (see below).     

 

In 2016, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue.  The amendments clarify the guidance for identifying performance obligations, licensing arrangements and principal versus agent considerations.  The amendments additionally provide clarification on how to assess collectability, present sales tax, treat noncash consideration, and account for completed and modified contracts at the time of transition.  The new standard was adopted by the Company using the modified retrospective approach in the first quarter of 2018.  See Note 3 for the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policy.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2017, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, which is intended to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. These amendments also make targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of the guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2016 and July 2018, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance, requiring lessees to recognize right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases previously classified as operating leases, with a term greater than a year. The new guidance also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and allows companies to apply the requirements retrospectively, either to all prior periods presented or through a cumulative adjustment in the year of adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and expects to elect certain available transitional practical expedients to facilitate the transition.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption, which will consist primarily of a balance sheet gross up of the Company’s operating leases to show the present value of the lease assets and lease liabilities.  The Company is in the process of implementing changes to its systems, internal controls and processes in conjunction with the review of its lease agreements.

There have been no other accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted by the Company which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
