Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effect of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”)

The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is set to expire at the end of 2021. Contracts affected by the rate change would be required to be modified. Under current U.S. GAAP, those modifications would have to be evaluated to determine whether they result in new contracts or continuation of the existing contracts. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rate.

Issuance date of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2020-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" ("ASU 2019-12").

ASU 2019-12 guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items (for example, discontinued operations or other comprehensive income). With the removal of this exception, entities will determine the tax effect of pre-tax income or loss from continuing operations without consideration of the tax effects of other items that are not included in continuing operations.

Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”).

ASU 2018-15 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.

Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period.

The Company adopted the new guidance effective July 1, 2020 on a prospective basis which did not require the Company to adjust comparative periods. Adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (“ASU 2018-14”).

ASU 2018-14 modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans by removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarifying the specific requirements of disclosures and adding disclosure requirements identified as relevant.

Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted.

Effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-14 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Since that date, the FASB has issued additional ASUs clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2016-13.

The objective of the guidance in ASU 2016-13 is to allow entities to recognize estimated credit losses in the period that the change in valuation occurs. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to present financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis on the balance sheet net of an allowance for credit losses. The model requires an estimate of the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure or pool of exposures. The income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period.

Annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those reporting periods.

The Company adopted the new guidance effective July 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
