Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

(E)     Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2016, the FASB issued “Leases (Topic 842).”  The new leases standard requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee accounts for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Accounting for both finance leases and operating leases results in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases the lessee recognizes interest expense and amortization of the ROU asset and for operating leases the lessee recognizes a straight-line total lease expense. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures are required for significant judgments made by management. The new lease standard does not substantially change lessor accounting. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019. For additional information, see Note G.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ”Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this update replace the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The new standard is effective for us prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. The amendments in this update can be adopted earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We continue to evaluate the future impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, however, we do not expect the impact to be material.

In August 2018, the FASB issued “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This standard eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of the FASB's disclosure framework project. Entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. However, public business entities will be required to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.

As the standard relates only to disclosures, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We are currently evaluating the standard and whether we will early adopt the standard.
