SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Description of Business. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Team, Inc.,” “Team,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” are used in this report to refer to Team, Inc., to one or more of our consolidated subsidiaries or to all of them taken as a whole. We are a global leading provider of integrated, digitally-enabled asset performance assurance and optimization solutions. We deploy conventional to highly specialized inspection, condition assessment, maintenance and repair services that result in greater safety, reliability and operational efficiency for our client’s most critical assets. We conduct operations in three segments: Inspection and Heat Treating (“IHT”) (formerly TeamQualspec), Mechanical Services (“MS”) (formerly TeamFurmanite) and Quest Integrity. Through the capabilities and resources in these three segments, we believe that Team is uniquely qualified to provide integrated solutions involving in their most basic form: inspection to assess condition; engineering assessment to determine fitness for purpose in the context of industry standards and regulatory codes; and mechanical services to repair, rerate or replace based upon the client’s election. In addition, the Company is capable of escalating with the client’s needs, as dictated by the severity of the damage found and the related operating conditions, from standard services to some of the most advanced services and integrated asset integrity and reliability management solutions available in the industry. We also believe that Team is unique in its ability to provide services in three distinct client demand profiles: (i) turnaround or project services, (ii) call-out services and (iii) nested or run-and-maintain services.

IHT provides conventional and advanced non-destructive testing (“NDT”) services primarily for the process, pipeline and power sectors, pipeline integrity management services, and field heat treating services, as well as associated engineering and condition assessment services. These services can be offered while facilities are running (on-stream), during facility turnarounds or during new construction or expansion activities.

MS provides primarily call-out and turnaround services under both on-stream and off-line/shut down circumstances. On-stream services offered by MS represent the services offered while plants are operating and under pressure. These services include leak repair, fugitive emissions control, hot tapping and line intervention to help operators manage the material opportunity costs associated with taking off line process, transportation or storage infrastructure. Turnaround services are project-related and demand is a function of the number and scope of scheduled and unscheduled facility turnarounds as well as new industrial facility construction or expansion activities. The turnaround and call-out services MS provides include field machining, technical bolting, vapor barrier plug and weld testing, field valve repair and valve product sales.

Quest Integrity provides integrity and reliability management solutions for the process, pipeline and power sectors. These solutions encompass three broadly-defined disciplines: (1) highly specialized in-line inspection services for historically unpiggable process piping and pipelines using proprietary in-line inspection tools and analytical software; (2) advanced engineering and condition assessment services through a multi-disciplined engineering team and related lab support; and (3) advanced digital imaging including remote digital video imaging, laser scanning and laser profilometry-enabled reformer care services.

We offer these services globally through approximately 200 locations in 20 countries throughout the world with approximately 6,800 employees. We market our services to companies in a diverse array of heavy industries which include:

•Energy (refining, power, renewables, nuclear, LNG, offshore oil and gas, pipelines, terminals and storage)

•Manufacturing and Process (chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper industries, automotive and mining)

•Public Infrastructure (bridges, ports, construction and building, roads and railways)

•Aerospace and Defense

Our stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TISI”.

Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Team, Inc. and our majority-owned subsidiaries where we have control over operating and financial policies. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates. Our accounting policies conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported financial position and results of operations. We review significant estimates and judgments affecting our consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis and record the effect of any necessary adjustments prior to their publication. Estimates and judgments are based on information available at the time such estimates and judgments are made. Adjustments made with respect to the use of these estimates and judgments often relate to information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and judgments are inherent in the preparation of financial statements. Estimates and judgments are used in, among other things, (1) aspects of revenue recognition, (2) valuation of acquisition related tangible and intangible assets and assessments of all long-lived assets for possible impairment, (3) estimating various factors used to accrue liabilities for workers’ compensation, auto, medical and general liability, (4) establishing an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, (5) estimating the useful lives of our assets, (6) assessing future tax exposure and the realization of tax assets, (7) the valuation of the embedded derivative liability in our convertible debt, (8) selecting assumptions used in the measurement of costs and liabilities associated with defined benefit pension plans and (9) net investment in foreign operations. Our most significant accounting policies are described below.

Fair value of financial instruments. Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt obligations. The carrying amount of cash, cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of our banking facility is representative of the carrying value based upon the variable terms and management’s opinion that the current rates available to us with the same maturity and security structure are equivalent to that of the banking facility. The fair value of our convertible senior notes as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $241.7 million and $231.5 million, respectively, (inclusive of the fair value of the conversion option) and are a “Level 2” (as defined in Note 11) measurements, determined based on the observed trading price of these instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of all demand deposits and funds invested in highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Inventory. Except for certain inventories that are valued based on weighted-average cost, we use the first-in, first-out method to value our inventory. Inventory includes material, labor and certain fixed overhead costs. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed periodically and carrying cost is reduced to net realizable value for inventories for which their cost exceeds their utility. The cost of inventories consumed or products sold are included in operating expenses.

Property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their respective useful life or the lease term. Depreciation and amortization of assets are computed by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:



Classification		Useful Life
Buildings		20-40 years
Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) System		15 years
Leasehold improvements		2-15 years
Machinery and equipment		2-12 years
Furniture and fixtures		2-10 years
Computers and computer software		2-5 years
Automobiles		2-5 years

Goodwill and intangible assets. We allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to their identifiable tangible assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We also allocate a portion of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets, such as non-compete agreements, trademarks, trade names, patents, technology and customer relationships. Allocations are based on estimated fair values of assets and liabilities. We use all available information to estimate fair values including quoted market prices, the carrying value of acquired assets, and widely accepted valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows. Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application of the fair value techniques, including estimates of future cash flows, selling prices, replacement costs, economic lives and the selection of a discount rate, as well as the use of “Level 3” measurements as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”). Deferred taxes are recorded for any differences between the assigned values and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Estimated deferred taxes are based on available information concerning the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and loss carryforwards at the acquisition date, although such estimates may change in the future as additional information becomes known. Any remaining excess of cost over allocated fair values is recorded as goodwill. We typically engage third-party valuation experts to assist in determining the fair values for both the identifiable tangible and intangible assets. The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, could materially impact our results of operations.

Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of the ASC 350 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Intangible assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 350. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which we have determined to be the same as our operating segments. Each reporting unit has goodwill relating to past acquisitions.

Prior to January 1, 2017, the test for impairment was a two-step process that involved comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to the reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, the goodwill of the reporting unit was not considered impaired; therefore, the second step of the impairment test would not be deemed necessary. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value, we would then perform the second step to the goodwill impairment test, which involved the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit’s assets and liabilities as if those assets and liabilities had been acquired/assumed in a business combination at the impairment testing date, to measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recorded. However, effective January 1, 2017 we prospectively adopted a new accounting principle that eliminated the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, for goodwill impairment tests occurring after January 1, 2017, if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we measure any goodwill impairment losses as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Our goodwill annual test date is December 1 of each year.

In the third quarter of the year ended December 31, 2017, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger an interim goodwill impairment analysis, primarily due to a 43% decrease in the Company’s stock price during the quarter, market softness and our financial results. This interim goodwill impairment test was prepared as of July 31, 2017. The fair values of the reporting units were determined using a combination of income and market approaches. The income approach was based on discounted cash flow models with estimated cash flows based on internal forecasts of revenue and expenses over a five-year period plus a terminal value period. The income approach estimated fair value by discounting each reporting unit’s estimated future cash flows using a discount rate that approximated our weighted-average cost of capital. Major assumptions applied in an income approach include forecasted growth rates as well as forecasted profitability by reporting unit. Additionally, we considered two market approaches that used multiples, based on observable market data, of a combination of historical and projected financial metrics of our reporting units, to arrive at fair value. We applied weightings to each of the income and the two market approaches. The fair value derived from these approaches, in the aggregate, approximated our market capitalization.

The July 31, 2017 interim goodwill impairment test indicated impairment as the carrying values of the MS and IHT reporting units exceeded their fair values. The carrying value of the MS reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $54.1 million and the carrying value of the IHT reporting unit exceeded its fair value by $21.1 million, resulting in a total impairment loss of $75.2 million. The fair values of the reporting units are “Level 3” measurements as defined in Note 11. The fair value of the Quest Integrity reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value.

For our annual goodwill impairment tests as of December 1, 2018 and December 1, 2019, we elected to perform qualitative assessments to determine if it was more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair values of our reporting units were less than their respective carrying values as of the test dates. Our qualitative assessments for the December 1, 2018 and December 1, 2019 tests considered relevant events and circumstances occurring since the December 1, 2017 and December 1, 2018 qualitative impairment test dates, respectively. Specifically, we considered changes in the Company’s stock price, industry and market conditions, our internal forecasts of future revenue and expenses, any significant events affecting the Company and actual changes in the carrying value of our net assets. After considering all positive and negative evidence for the assessments as of both of these dates, we concluded that it was not more likely than not that our carrying values exceeded fair values and, as such, no additional impairment was indicated.

There was $282.0 million and $281.7 million of goodwill at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. A summary of goodwill is as follows (in thousands):



	Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2019
	IHT		MS			Quest Integrity			Total
Balance at beginning of period	$	192,608	$	55,627		$	33,415		$	281,650
Foreign currency adjustments	608		(218		)	(34		)	356
Balance at end of period	$	193,216	$	55,409		$	33,381		$	282,006



	Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2018
	IHT			MS			Quest Integrity			Total
Balance at beginning of year	$	194,211		$	56,600		$	33,993		$	284,804
Foreign currency adjustments	(1,603		)	(712		)	(578		)	(2,893		)
Disposal	—			(261		)	—			(261		)
Balance at end of year	$	192,608		$	55,627		$	33,415		$	281,650

There was $75.2 million of accumulated impairment losses at December 31, 2019 and 2018, comprised of the impairment losses recognized in the third quarter of 2017 described above.

Subsequent to December 31, 2019, our stock price saw declines beginning late January 2020 and continuing through early March 2020. We have determined that goodwill at our IHT reporting unit is at risk for impairment should events or circumstances indicate that a decline in fair value is other than temporary. As such, we are currently estimating the projected timing of a recovery and whether or not a triggering event has occurred during the first quarter of 2020 on this reporting unit. The value of this business is dependent upon the timing and extent of the market recovery and our conclusions could result in an impairment of goodwill. The total carrying value of the net assets for the IHT reporting unit was approximately $217 million as of December 31, 2019, including goodwill of $193 million.

Income taxes. We follow the guidance of ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires that we use the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes and provide deferred income taxes for all significant temporary differences. As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax payable or receivable and related tax expense or benefit together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items, such as depreciation, for tax and accounting purposes. These differences can result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets.

In accordance with ASC 740, we are required to assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be realized and, to the extent we believe it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, we must establish a valuation allowance. We consider all available evidence to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Evidence used includes the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years if carryback is permitted by tax law, information about our current financial position and our results of operations for the current and preceding years, as well as all currently available information about future years, including our anticipated future performance and tax planning strategies.

We regularly assess whether it is more likely than not that we will realize the deferred tax assets in the jurisdictions we operate in. Management believes future sources of taxable income, reversing temporary differences and other tax planning strategies will be sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets for which no valuation allowance has been established. Our valuation allowance primarily relates to net operating loss carryforwards. While we have considered these factors in assessing the need for additional valuation allowance, there is no assurance that additional valuation allowance would not need to be established in the future if information about future years change. Any changes in valuation allowance would impact our income tax provision and net income (loss) in the period in which such a determination is made. As of December 31, 2019, our deferred tax assets were $73.2 million, less a valuation allowance of $14.9 million. As of December 31, 2019, our deferred tax liabilities were $60.1 million.

Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items for tax purposes. In accordance with ASC 740-10, we establish reserves for uncertain tax positions when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are supportable, we believe that it is not more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon challenge. When facts and circumstances change, we adjust these reserves through our provision for income taxes. To the extent interest and penalties may be assessed by taxing authorities on any related underpayment of income tax, such amounts have been accrued and are classified as a component of income tax expense (benefit) in our consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2019, our gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions, were $1.5 million.

Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the 2017 Tax Act, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which required companies include in their financial statements estimates of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act to the extent such estimates have been determined. Under SAB 118, companies were allowed a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the 2017 Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. Accordingly, the Company previously recorded certain estimates of the tax impact in its consolidated statement of operations for the fourth quarter of 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company finalized the recording of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act and recorded an income tax benefit of $1.8 million, reflecting an adjustment to the provisional estimate of the deemed repatriation transition tax. As a result of the final calculation of the transition tax liability, the Company also recorded an adjustment to the deferred tax liability associated with investments in foreign subsidiaries.

Workers’ compensation, auto, medical and general liability accruals. In accordance with ASC 450 Contingencies (“ASC 450”), we record a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We review our loss contingencies on an ongoing basis to ensure that we have appropriate reserves recorded on our balance sheet. These reserves are based on historical experience with claims incurred but not received, estimates and judgments made by management, applicable insurance coverage for litigation matters, and are adjusted as circumstances warrant. For workers’ compensation, our self-insured retention is $1.0 million and our automobile liability self-insured retention is currently $500,000 per occurrence. For general liability claims, we have an effective self-insured retention of $1.0 million and a deductible of $2.0 million per occurrence. For medical claims, our self-insured retention is $350,000 per individual claimant determined on an annual basis. For environmental liability claims, our self-insured retention is $1.0 million per occurrence. We maintain insurance for claims that exceed such self-retention limits. The insurance is subject to terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions that may not fully compensate us for all losses. Our estimates and judgments could change based on new information, changes in laws or regulations, changes in management’s plans or intentions, or the outcome of legal proceedings, settlements or other factors. If different estimates and judgments were applied with respect to these matters, it is likely that reserves would be recorded for different amounts.

Allowance for doubtful accounts. In the ordinary course of business, a portion of our accounts receivable are not collected due to billing disputes, customer bankruptcies, dissatisfaction with the services we performed and other various reasons. We establish an allowance to account for those accounts receivable that we estimate will eventually be deemed uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a combination of our historical experience and management’s review of long outstanding accounts receivable.

Concentration of credit risk. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of consolidated revenues.

Earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations or net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations or net income (loss) by the sum of (1) the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, (2) the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of share-based compensation using the treasury stock method and (3) the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of our convertible senior notes under the treasury stock method. The Company’s current intent is to settle the principal amount of the convertible senior notes in cash upon conversion. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, the Company may elect to deliver shares of its common stock with respect to the remainder of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount (the “conversion spread”). Accordingly, the conversion spread is included in the denominator for the computation of diluted earnings per common share using the treasury stock method and the numerator is adjusted for any recorded gain or loss, net of tax, on the embedded derivative associated with the conversion feature.

Amounts used in basic and diluted loss per share, for all periods presented, are as follows (in thousands):



	Twelve Months Ended December 31,
	2019	2018	2017
Weighted-average number of basic shares outstanding	30,310	30,031	29,849
Stock options, stock units and performance awards	—	—	—
Convertible senior notes	—	—	—
Total shares and dilutive securities	30,310	30,031	29,849

For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, all outstanding share-based compensation awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would be antidilutive due to the loss from continuing operations in those periods. Also, the effect of our convertible senior notes was excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share since the conversion price exceeded the average price of our common stock during the applicable periods. For information on our convertible senior notes and our share-based compensation awards, refer to Note 9 and Note 12, respectively.

Non-cash investing and financing activities. Non-cash investing and financing activities are excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows and are as follows (in thousands):



	Twelve Months Ended December 31,
	2019		2018		2017
Assets acquired under finance lease	$	326	$	5,302	$	—

Also, we had $4.0 million, $1.4 million, and $2.6 million of accrued capital expenditures as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which are excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows until paid.

Foreign currency. For subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at period ending rates of exchange and revenues and expenses are translated at period average exchange rates. Translation adjustments for the asset and liability accounts are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in our statements of operations.

We utilize monthly foreign currency swap contracts to reduce exposures to changes in foreign currency exchange rates including, but not limited to, the Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Euro, Malaysian Ringgit and Mexican Peso. The impact from these swap contracts was not material as of December 31, 2019 or 2018 or for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Defined benefit pension plans. Pension benefit costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. The primary assumptions include factors such as discount rates, expected investment return on plan assets, mortality rates and retirement rates. These rates are reviewed annually and adjusted to reflect current conditions. These rates are determined based on reference to yields. The expected return on plan assets is derived from detailed periodic studies, which include a review of asset allocation strategies, anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, risks (standard deviations) and correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. While the studies give appropriate consideration to recent plan performance and historical returns, the assumptions are primarily long-term, prospective rates of return. Mortality and retirement rates are based on actual and anticipated plan experience. In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and are subject to amortization over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized expense in future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect the pension obligation and future expense.

Revision to prior period consolidated financial statements. As noted in the previously issued Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”), the Company identified errors in its previously issued 2017 consolidated financial statements. These prior period errors are related to the measurement of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. The prior period consolidated financial statements and other affected prior period financial information have been revised to correct these errors. The effect of correcting the errors increased our income tax benefit and favorably impacted our net loss by $19.7 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. The correction also resulted in an increase of $19.7 million to previously reported stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2017. Based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company determined the related impacts were not material to its previously filed annual or interim consolidated financial statements, and therefore, amendments of previously filed reports are not required.

The table below provides a summary of the financial statement line items which were impacted by these error corrections (in thousands, except per share data):

Newly Adopted Accounting Principles

Topic 842 - Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), which establishes ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), replaced previous lease accounting guidance along with subsequent ASUs issued in 2018 to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2016-02. ASC 842 changes the accounting for leases, including a requirement to record leases with terms of greater than twelve months on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities. ASC 842 also requires us to expand our financial statement disclosures on leasing activities.

We adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 and elected the modified retrospective transition method, which specified the comparative financial information will not be restated and will continue to be reported under the lease standard in effect during those periods. We elected the “package of practical expedients,” which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions on lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We also elected the short-term lease recognition practical expedient in which leases with a term of 12 months or less will not be recognized on the balance sheet and the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our leases. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient.

The impact of ASC 842 on our consolidated balance sheet beginning January 1, 2019 was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. The cumulative effect of adoption on January 1, 2019 resulted in a $0.4 million decrease, net of tax, to beginning retained earnings. The adoption of ASC 842 did not result in any material impacts to our statements of operations or statements of cash flows. Amounts recognized at January 1, 2019 for operating leases were as follows (in thousands):



	January 1, 2019
Operating lease right-of-use assets	$	66,555
Current portion of operating lease obligations	17,770
Operating lease obligations (non-current)	54,477

Accounting Principles Not Yet Adopted

ASU No. 2016-13. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends GAAP by introducing a new impairment model for financial instruments that is based on expected credit losses rather than incurred credit losses. The new impairment model applies to most financial assets, including trade accounts receivable. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us as of January 1, 2020 and requires a modified retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial statements, but we do not expect such adoption to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

ASU No. 2018-15. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Topic 350): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”), that requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement, if those costs would be capitalized by the customer in a software licensing arrangement under the internal-use software guidance in Topic 350. ASU 2018-15 requires a customer to disclose the nature of its hosting arrangements that are service contracts and provide disclosures as if the deferred implementation costs were a separate, major depreciable asset class. ASU 2018-15 is effective for us as of January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial statements, but we do not expect such adoption to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
