RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

The FASB issued in June 2016 an update to accounting guidance that introduces a new impairment model used to measure credit losses for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables. This update requires entities to record an allowance for credit losses using a forward-looking expected loss impairment model that considers historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility, rather than the incurred loss model required under existing guidance. The Company adopted the update in the first quarter of 2020 using the modified-retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of initially applying the update as a $1.0 million decrease to retained earnings with an offsetting decrease to other assets. Otherwise, the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued in January 2017 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. The update eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure the amount of the goodwill impairment

charge, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Under the update, the goodwill impairment charge would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The impairment charge recognized, if any, should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment in accordance with the updated guidance in the first quarter of 2020. Please see Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” for further discussion.

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of May 3, 2020

The FASB issued in December 2019 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the existing guidance and clarifying and amending certain guidance to reduce diversity in practice. The update eliminates certain exceptions to the guidance related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The update also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021, with early adoption permitted. Most amendments in the update are required to be adopted using a prospective approach, while other amendments must be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach or retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the update to determine the impact of the adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The FASB issued in March 2020 an update related to the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in the update provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates if certain criteria are met. The amendments can be applied on a prospective basis through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the update to determine the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
