Description of Business

 

CalAmp Corp. (referred to herein as “CalAmp”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a global technology solutions pioneer leading transformation to a mobile connected economy. We help reinvent businesses and improve lives around the globe with technology solutions that streamline complex mobile Internet of Things (“IoT”) deployments through wireless connectivity solutions and derived data intelligence. Our software applications, scalable cloud services, and intelligent devices collect and assess business-critical data anywhere in the world from industrial machines, commercial and passenger vehicles, their drivers and contents. We are a global organization that is headquartered in Irvine, California. We operate under two reportable segments: Telematics Systems and Software & Subscription Services.

On February 25, 2019, we completed our acquisition of Tracker Network (UK) Limited (“Tracker UK”), a LoJack licensee and a market leader in stolen vehicle recovery (“SVR”) telematics services across the United Kingdom, for a cash purchase price of approximately $13.0 million. On March 18, 2019, we acquired Car Track, S.A. de C.V. (“LoJack Mexico”), the exclusive licensee of LoJack technology for the Mexican market and former customer. We purchased the 87.5% of the LoJack Mexico shares not currently owned by us for a purchase price, net of cash on hand, of approximately $13.0 million. On April 12, 2019, we acquired Synovia Solutions (“Synovia”), a North American market leader in fleet safety and management for K-12 school bus and state and local government fleets for a purchase price, net of cash on hand, of $49.8 million. Synovia was a customer prior to our acquisition. These acquisitions expand our fleet management and vehicle safety services portfolio and accelerate our transformation to high-value subscription-based services.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent Events

 

We have evaluated subsequent events through May 5, 2020, which is the date our financial statements were included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is inherently uncertain at the time of this report. The pandemic has resulted in travel restrictions and in some cases, prohibitions of non-essential activities, disruption and shutdown of businesses and greater uncertainty in global financial markets. We cannot predict the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will negatively impact our business or operating results at this time.

 

We have considered all known and reasonably available information that existed as of February 29, 2020, in making accounting judgements, estimates and disclosures. We are monitoring the potential effects of the health care related and economic conditions of COVID-19 in assessing certain matters including (but not limited to) supply chain disruptions, decreases in customer demand for our products and services, potential longer-term effects on our customer and distribution channels particularly in the U.S. and relevant end markets as well as other developments. If the impact results in longer-term closures of businesses and economic recessionary conditions, we may recognize additional material asset impairments and charges for uncollectible accounts receivable in future periods. Currently, we estimate that the existing cash, future cash flows and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will provide sufficient cash flows for at least twelve months after the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CalAmp Corp. (a Delaware corporation) and all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include allowances for doubtful accounts; charges for excess and obsolete inventory; deferred income tax asset valuation allowances; goodwill and other long-lived assets; intellectual property and accrued royalties; stock-based compensation; legal contingencies and revenue recognition. The current COVID-19 pandemic and general economic environment, and our supplier and customer concentrations also increase the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition and Related Judgements

Revenue Recognition and Related Judgements

 

We recognize revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which provides a five-step analytical framework for transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In order to adhere to this core principle, we apply the following five-step approach:

 

 

identify the contract with a customer;

 

identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

determine the transaction price;

 

allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for goods or services we transfer to the customer.

 

Products. We recognize revenue from product sales upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the transaction price, which is generally the stand-alone selling prices of the promised goods. For product shipments made on the basis of “FOB Destination” terms, revenue is recorded when the products reach the customer. Customers generally do not have a right of return except for defective products returned during the warranty period. We record estimated commitments related to customer incentive programs as reductions of revenues.

 

Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”). We recognize the following revenues and related cost of revenues in our Application subscriptions and related products and service revenues and cost of revenues because we enter into arrangements that combine various hardware devices as well as installation and notification services that are provided over a stipulated service period.

 

Our integrated SaaS-based solutions for our fleet management, vehicle finance and certain other verticals provide our customers with the ability to wirelessly communicate with monitoring devices installed in vehicles and other mobile or remote assets through our software applications. The transaction price for a typical SaaS arrangement includes the price for the customized device, installation and application subscriptions. We have applied our judgment in determining that these integrated arrangements typically represent single performance obligations satisfied over time.

 

Accordingly, we defer the recognition of revenue for the customized devices that only function with our applications and are sold only on an integrated basis with our proprietary applicable subscriptions. Such customized devices and the application services are not sold separately. In such circumstances, the associated device related costs are recorded as deferred costs on the balance sheet. The upfront fees for the devices are not distinct from the subscription service and are combined into the subscription service performance obligation. Generally, these service arrangements do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the software supporting the subscription service at any time. Revenues from subscription services are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the subscription. The deferred revenue and deferred cost amounts are amortized to application subscriptions and related products and other services revenue and cost of revenue, respectively, on a straight-line basis over the estimated average in-service lives of these devices, which are three years in the vehicle finance and four years in the fleet management verticals. In certain fleet management contracts, we provide devices as part of the subscription contracts but we retain control of such devices. Under such arrangements, the cost of the devices is capitalized as property and equipment and depreciated over the estimated useful life of three to five years. The related subscription revenues of these arrangements are recognized as services are rendered. Our deferred revenue under ASC 606 also includes prepayments from our customers for various subscription services but does not include future subscription fees associated with customers’ unexercised contract renewal rights.

 

Accessories may also be sold to these customers. We recognize revenue for sales of accessories upon transfer of control to the customer based on estimated stand-alone selling prices.

 

In certain customer arrangements, we sell or lease vehicle location devices together with related monitoring services as part of the contractual arrangement. The devices leased to our customers are capitalized as property and equipment and being depreciated over the life of the devices. From time to time we sell devices and monitoring services separately to customers and sell similar devices on a stand-alone basis to licensees. Accordingly, we recognize revenues for the sales of the devices upon transfer of control to the customer and recognize revenue for the related monitoring services over the service period. The allocation of the transaction price is based on estimated stand-alone selling prices for the devices and the monitoring services.

 

Deferred revenues consist primarily of the deferred amounts on integrated SaaS solutions and advance payments for monitoring services.

 

Professional Services. We also provide various professional services to customers. These include project management, engineering services, installation services and an on-going early warning automated notification service, which are typically distinct from other performance obligations and are recognized as the related services are performed. For certain professional service contracts, we recognize revenue based on the proportion of total costs incurred to-date over the estimated cost of the contract, which is an input method.

 

Sales Taxes. We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer.

 

Contract Balances. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing on our invoicing to customers. Contract liabilities are comprised of billings or payments received from our customers in advance of performance under the contract. We refer to these contract liabilities as “Deferred Revenues” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. During fiscal year ended February 29, 2020, we recognized $23.8 million in revenue from the deferred revenue balance of $51.4 million as of March 1, 2019. Certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer consist of sales commissions, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the corresponding contracts. Prepaid sales commissions included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets amounted to $2.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as of February 29, 2020. Prepaid sales commissions in Prepaid expenses and other current assets are expected to be amortized within the next 12 months.

 

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into reportable segments, geography, type of goods and services and timing of revenue recognition. See Note 20 for our revenue by segment and geography. The disaggregation of revenue by type of goods and services and by timing of revenue recognition was as follows (in thousands):

We adopted ASC 606 under the modified retrospective method on March 1, 2018, and therefore we did not present comparative information for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018.

 

Remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheets and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. As of February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, we have estimated remaining performance obligations for contractually committed revenues of $134.5 million and $51.4 million respectively. As of February 29, 2020, we expect to recognize approximately 44% in fiscal 2021 and 26% in fiscal 2022. As of February 28, 2019, we expected to recognize approximately 48% in fiscal 2020 and 29% in fiscal 2022. We have utilized the practical expedient exception within ASC 606 and exclude contracts that have original durations of less than one year from the aforementioned remaining performance obligation disclosure.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, marketable debt securities and trade accounts receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents as well as investments are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the federally insured limits. These deposits are maintained with reputable financial institutions and are redeemable upon demand. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due to us from sales arrangements executed in our normal business activities and are recorded at invoiced amounts. We typically require payment from customers within between 30 to 60 days of our invoice date with a few exceptions that extend the credit terms up to 90 days and we do not offer financing options. We present the aggregate accounts receivable balance net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Generally, collateral and other security is not obtained for outstanding accounts receivable. Credit losses, if any, are recognized based on management’s evaluation of historical collection experience, customer-specific financial conditions as well as an evaluation of current industry trends and general economic conditions. The current global economic and business conditions attributable to COVID-19 may have an unfavorable impact on our customers and impact our ability to collect on outstanding accounts receivable. Past due balances are assessed by management on a periodic basis and balances are written off when the customer’s financial condition no longer warrants pursuit of collection. Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from estimated amounts.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market (net realizable value). Inventories are reviewed for excess quantities and obsolescence based upon demand forecasts for a specific time horizon. We record a charge to cost of revenues for the amount required to reduce the carrying value of inventory to estimated net realizable value. Ongoing changes in cellular carrier technology, supplier changes, closure of our warehouse facilities, changes in demand or significant reductions in product pricing may necessitate additional write-downs of inventory carrying value in the future, which could be material.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

We capitalize certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software and software embedded in our products. These costs are recorded as property and equipment in our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over useful lives ranging from three to seven years. The devices leased to our customers are capitalized as property and equipment and being depreciated over the life of the devices.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

The purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. To the extent the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, such excess is allocated to goodwill. We determine the estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information, including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and other estimates made by management. We may refine the preliminary purchase price allocation, as necessary, during the measurement period of up to one year after the acquisition closing date as we obtain more information as to facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date impacting the asset valuations and liabilities assumed. Goodwill acquired in business combinations is assigned to the reporting unit expected to benefit from the combination as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Long-lived Assets

Goodwill and Long-lived Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. We test goodwill for impairment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, (“ASC 350”). Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. ASC 350 provides that an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform an impairment test. Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, our two operating segments, Telematics Systems and Software & Subscription Services, also represented our two reporting units for goodwill impairment testing. During the fourth quarter, we changed our reporting structure, resulting in four reporting units with two reporting units under each of our operating segments.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which we adopted in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If, however, the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the amount that the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

Long-lived assets to be held and used, including identifiable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes in business plans or changes in anticipated future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is present, we evaluate recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets or asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the lowest level of asset group. If the assets or asset group are impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by estimates of discounted cash flows. The discount rate used in any estimate of discounted cash flows would be the rate required for similar investment of like risk. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we determined that the prolonged secular decline in revenues from our legacy LoJack US SVR products coupled with the slower than anticipated market penetration of our telematics solutions in the U.S. automotive dealership channel represented determinate indications of impairment. These factors were further exacerbated by the immediate unfavorable impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the automotive end markets commencing in February 2020. As a result, we initiated an assessment of the carrying amount of the related intangible and long-lived assets supporting these products including the LoJack tradename and dealer and customer relationships.  

The recoverability assessment with respect to each of the tradenames used in our operations requires us to estimate the fair value of the asset as of the assessment date. Such determination is made using discounted cash flow techniques (Level 3 determination of fair value). Significant inputs to the valuation model include:

 

future revenue and profitability projections associated with the tradename through relief of royalty approach;

 

estimated market royalty rates that could be derived from the licensing of our tradenames to third parties in order to establish the cash flows accruing to the benefit of the Company as a result of our ownership of our tradenames; and

 

rate used to discount the estimated royalty cash flow projections to their present value (or estimated fair value).

We estimate the fair value of goodwill and other long-lived assets other than tradenames based on discounted cash flow techniques (Level 3 determination of fair value). Significant inputs to the valuation model include:

 

estimated future cash flows;

 

growth assumptions for future revenues as well as future gross margin rates, expense rates, capital expenditures and other estimates; and

 

rate used to discount our estimated future cash flow projections to their present value (or estimated fair value) based on our estimated weighted average cost of capital.

Based upon our assessment of economic conditions, our expectations of future business conditions and trends, our projected revenues, earnings, and cash flows, we determined that certain of our long-lived assets utilized in our LoJack US SVR reporting unit were impaired in fiscal year 2020 as follows (in thousands):

There was no impairment of goodwill for fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019. The fair value of the LoJack US SVR reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount by approximately 8% as of February 29, 2020. Any deterioration in future cash flows of this reporting unit may result in impairment of its goodwill, which had a carrying value of approximately $12 million as of February 29, 2020. Any reduction in the revenue forecast utilized for the impairment test of the LoJack tradename, which had a carrying value of $10.5 million as of February 29, 2020, may also result in additional impairment. Our stock price has declined subsequent to year-end because of COVID-19 and other market factors. We will evaluate if this decline is more than temporary as an impairment indicator for assessing the carrying amount of our goodwill and long-lived assets in future periods.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Our cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these items. Our marketable securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The framework for measuring fair value and related disclosure requirements about fair value measurements are provided in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820). This pronouncement defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy proscribed by ASC 820 contains three levels as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Call Transactions

Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Call Transactions

We account for our convertible senior notes as separate liability and equity components. We determine the carrying amount of the liability component based on the estimated fair value of a similar debt instrument excluding the embedded conversion option at the issuance date. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option is calculated by deducting the carrying value of the liability component from the principal amount of the notes as a whole. This difference represents a debt discount that is amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest rate method. The equity component of the notes is included in stockholders’ equity and is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. We allocate transaction costs related to the issuance of the notes to the liability and equity components using the same proportions as the initial carrying value of the notes. Transaction costs attributable to the liability component are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the respective term of the notes, and transaction costs attributable to the equity components are netted with the equity component of the note in stockholders’ equity. We account for the cost of the capped calls as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In certain cases, costs are incurred to purchase materials and equipment for future use in research and development efforts. In such cases, these costs are capitalized and expensed as consumed.

Product Warranty

Product Warranty

All products have a one- or two-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects and workmanship. We estimate the future costs relating to product returns subject to our warranty and record a reserve upon shipment of our products. We periodically adjust our estimates for actual warranty claims, historical claims experience as well as the impact of known product quality issues.

Patent Litigation and Other Contingencies

Patent Litigation and Other Contingencies

We accrue for patent litigation and other contingencies whenever we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and a liability is reasonably estimable. The amount of the accrual is estimated based on a review of each claim, including the type and facts of the claim and our assessment of the merits of the claim. These accruals are reviewed at least on a quarterly basis and are adjusted to reflect the impact of recent negotiations, settlements, court rulings, advice from legal counsel and other events pertaining to the case. Such accruals, if any, are recorded as general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Although we take considerable measures to mitigate our exposure in these matters, litigation is unpredictable; however, we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to pending legal matters against us as well as adequate provisions for probable and estimable losses. All costs for legal services are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method when accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Under U.S. GAAP we are allowed to make an accounting policy choice to either: (1) treat taxes due on future GILTI inclusions in U.S. taxable income as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”); or (2) factor in such amounts into our measurement of our deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). We have elected to account for GILTI as a period cost in the year the tax is incurred. Accordingly, no GILTI-related deferred amounts were recorded. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgement occurs. Valuation allowances are provided against net deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. In assessing valuation allowances, we review historical and future expected operating results and other factors, including cumulative earnings experience, expectations of future taxable income by jurisdiction and the carryforward periods available for reporting purposes.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, management assessed the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of the existing net deferred tax assets. Due to our recent decrease in profitability, three-year cumulative loss position considering forecasts of future profitability and weighing all other positive and negative objective evidence, we determined that it is more likely than not that our domestic net deferred tax assets will not be realized, as such a valuation allowance against our domestic net deferred tax assets was established during the three months ended February 29, 2020. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be adjusted in future periods in the event sufficient evidence is present to support a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our domestic deferred tax assets will be realized.

We recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

We translate the assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenue and expenses for these subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations are recognized in foreign currency translation included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the period. The aggregate foreign currency transaction exchange rate gain (losses) included in determining income (loss) before income taxes were $(0.2) million, $(0.4) million and $0.5 million in fiscal years 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation expense resulting from grants of employee stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units is recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on the respective grant date fair values of the awards. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing method for valuing stock options and shares granted under the employee stock purchase plan and recognize the expense over a requisite service (vesting) period using the straight-line method. Restricted stock units, or RSUs, are valued based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. The measurement of stock-based compensation is based on several criteria such as the type of equity award, the valuation model used and associated input factors including the expected term of the award, stock price volatility, risk free interest rate and forfeiture rate. Certain of these inputs are subjective and are determined based in part on management's judgment. We account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating expected forfeitures over the course of a vesting period.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). OCI refers to revenue, expenses and gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity and excluded from net income (loss). Our OCI consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation, and calculating income taxes in interim periods. This ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). The amendments in ASU 2018-15 provide guidance to align 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 (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by this update. We are required to adopt this standard on March 1, 2020, the beginning of our fiscal 2021. We do not anticipate this pronouncement will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology. As a result, we will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for trade receivables. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are required to adopt this standard on March 1, 2020, the beginning of our fiscal 2021. We do not anticipate this pronouncement will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts in Note 1 related to disaggregated revenue for contracts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2020 presentation, with no effect on total amount.
