Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
2016-02
Leases
(“ASU
2016-02”),
amended by ASU
2018-11,
Leases
(Topic 842):
Targeted Improvements
. ASU
2016-02
requires a company to recognize a
right-of-use
asset and lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments measured as the present value of the lease payments for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. The ASU requires adoption using a modified retrospective transition approach with either (1) periods prior to the adoption date being recast or (2) a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date with prior periods not recast. The Company adopted this standard on December 30, 2018 using the cumulative-effect adjustment approach. No cumulative-effect adjustment was recognized as the amount was not material. The Company recognized $2,783,000 as of September 28, 2019 in
right-of-use
assets and corresponding lease obligations as the result of the adoption of ASU
2016-02.
See Note 9 for additional information regarding the impact of adopting ASU
2016-02
to Landstar’s consolidated financial statements.
