RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This update provides optional expedients for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued at the end of 2021 because of reference rate reform. The update is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). This pronouncement enhances and simplifies various aspects of income tax accounting guidance. Among other things, the amendment removes the year-to-date loss limitations in interim-period tax accounting and requires entities to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws in the interim period that includes the enactment date of the new legislation. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We

adopted this update in the first quarter of 2020, under the modified retrospective basis and prospective transition approaches, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Topic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which addresses a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement (CCA) that is a service contract. The new standard aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a CCA that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted the new standard prospectively on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new standard modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable (excluding those related to operating leases) and net investments in sales-type leases. Among other things, these amendments require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The standard requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Periods prior to the adoption date that are presented for comparative purposes are not adjusted. We adopted this new standard as of January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
