Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, and clarifies existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis, as there were no relevant matters impacting the Company for which retrospective application was required, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
