Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

In July 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest with a Scope Exception. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The effect of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt. The FASB is issuing this ASU to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The FASB is shortening the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. Under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), entities generally amortize the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The effect of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU required lessees to put most leases on their balance sheet but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to today’s accounting. This ASU also eliminated today’s real estate-specific provisions for all companies. For lessors, this ASU modified the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. The Company also reviewed contracts to determine if they contain embedded leases. The Company’s balance sheet impact was $15.1 million as of January 1, 2019. This amount was recorded as a right of use asset with a corresponding lease liability.

In July 2018, ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” (“ASU 2018-10”) was issued to provide more detailed guidance and additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-02. Also in July 2018, ASU 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”) was issued and allows for an optional transition method in which the provisions of Topic 842 would be applied upon the adoption date and would not have to be retroactively applied to the earliest reporting period presented in the consolidated financial statements.” The Company used this optional transition method for the adoption of Topic 842.

Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Adopted

The following list identifies ASUs applicable to the Company that have been issued by the FASB but are not yet effective:

In April 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments to improve the Codifications or correct any unintended application. Codification improvements to ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326) will be effective on the same date as requirements in 2016-13. Codification improvements to ASU 2017-12 (Topic 815) will be effective as of the beginning of the first annual period beginning after the issuance date and ASU 2016-01 (Topic 825) will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Management believes that this ASU does apply and has not determined the impact, if any, as of June 30, 2019.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) The amendments in this ASU 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). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The effect of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit plans. The amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The effect of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The effect of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This ASU was issued to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. For public entities, this ASU is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and application should be on a prospective basis. The effect of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU was issued to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of analyzing this ASU, has purchased a software solution and is capturing information needed to implement this update. The Company has started to input information and is in the beginning stages of running the software program and comparing to existing results. The Company also began to identify and address portfolio differences, if any. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, as of June 30, 2019.

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ruling:

In August 2018, the SEC issued a final rule that amends certain of the Commission’s disclosure requirements “that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other Commission disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment.” The financial reporting implications of the final rule’s amendments may vary by company, but the changes are generally expected to reduce or eliminate some of an SEC registrant’s disclosure requirements. In limited circumstances, however, the amendments may expand those requirements, including those related to interim disclosures about changes in stockholders’ equity. Under the requirements, registrants must now analyze changes in stockholders’ equity, in the form of a reconciliation, for “the current and comparative year-to-date periods, with subtotals for each interim period.” Beginning with its March 31, 2019 filing, the Company included a reconciliation for the current quarter and year-to-date interim periods as well as the comparative periods of the prior years (i.e., a reconciliation covering each period for which an income statement is presented).
