Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2017, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effects of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)” (ASU 2016-05). ASU 2016-05 clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815, does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-05, the Corporation did not dedesignate any hedging relationships due to change in counterparty and therefore there was no impact to its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
On January 1, 2017, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)” (ASU 2016-06). The amendments in ASU 2016-06 clarify what steps are required when assessing whether the economic characteristics and risks of call (put) options are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of their debt hosts, which is one of the criteria for bifurcating an embedded derivative. The Corporation currently applies the approach for analyzing potential embedded derivative instruments in debt instruments detailed in ASU 2016-06 and therefore upon adoption there was no impact to its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
On January 1, 2017, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-07, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting” (ASU 2016-07), which requires that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-07, the Corporation did not hold an interest in an investee that subsequently qualified for the use of the equity method and therefore there was no impact to the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
On January 1, 2017, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control” (ASU 2016-17). Under ASU 2016-17, a single decision maker evaluating whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity will consider its indirect interests held by related parties that are under common control on a proportionate basis. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-17, there was no impact to the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
