ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), which clarifies the application of certain optional expedients and exceptions. Topic 848 may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2020-04 may have on our contracts that reference LIBOR, such as our amended and restated revolving credit agreement (see Note 9). We have not elected to apply any of the provisions of Topic 848, and we are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of adoption of this updated authoritative guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers and other similar contracts that are accounted for in accordance with ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 requires acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2021-08 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. We are currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of adoption of this updated authoritative guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which will also depend on the magnitude of any potential future business combinations. We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if adopted, would have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
