ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope
These Updates provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to financial contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by RRR if certain criteria are met.

The following optional expedients, exceptions and elections are permitted for certain contracts that are modified because of RRR and meet certain scope guidance:
Contract modifications may be accounted for prospectively as a continuation of existing contracts rather than a new contract without remeasurement or reassessment of significant contract amendments
modifications of leases to be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contracts without reassessment of lease classification and discount rate or remeasurement of lease payments
to not reassess the original conclusion about whether a contract contains an embedded derivative that is clearly and closely related to the host contract
changes to critical terms of hedging relationships, on a hedge-by-hedge basis, without designation of the hedging relationship and various practical expedients and elections designed to allow hedge accounting to continue uninterrupted
modifications of certain derivatives modified to change the rate used for margining, discounting or contract price alignment.

For securities affected by RRR that were classified as HTM before January 1, 2020, the Updates also allow an entity to make a one-time election to sell and/or transfer these securities to AFS or Trading.
RRR Updates are effective for all entities from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 and terminates on December 31, 2022 on a full retrospective or prospective basis.

Although we do not expect RRR to have a material accounting impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, the Updates will ease the administrative burden in accounting for the effects of RRR.

We adopted these updates on October 1, 2020 by retrospective application. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

We will continue to assess the impact of adoption through the termination date of these Updates on December 31, 2022.
