RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes". The new standard is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, and by clarifying and amending existing guidance in other areas of the same topic. This ASU was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU upon issuance and there was no material impact to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures as of March 31, 2021.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, "Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)." The amendments in this update are intended to reduce diversity in practice and increase comparability of the accounting for interaction of equity securities, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. This ASU was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU upon issuance and notes that it did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures as of March 31, 2021.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." The amendments in this update are elective, and provide optional expedients and exceptions in accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 to provide additional clarity around Topic 848. Specifically, certain provisions of Topic 848, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. The guidance in this update is effective for transactions entered into between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this ASU upon issuance and there was no material impact to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures as of March 31, 2021.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, "Codification Improvements." The amendments in this update are intended to clarify the location of certain disclosure guidance within the ASC, as well as clarify certain guidance in cases where the original guidance may have been unclear. These amendments do not change U.S. GAAP. This ASU was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this ASU upon issuance and notes no impact to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures as of March 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)." The amendments in this update are intended to simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.
