Updates To Significant Accounting Policies

UPDATES TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting polices during the first two quarters of fiscal 2020 from those disclosed in our most recent Form 10-K, except for the adoption of the standards discussed below.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new standard that requires credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented based on the net amount expected to be collected. Application of this standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects all expected credit losses. Additionally, credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities are recorded through an allowance for credit losses limited to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost.

We adopted the new standard at the beginning of fiscal year 2020 by applying a modified retrospective method without restating comparative periods. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We continue to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on expected credit losses.

Intangibles - Goodwill and Other

In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by requiring impairment charges to be based on the first step in the current two-step impairment test. The impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and an impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.

We adopted the new standard on a prospective basis at the beginning of fiscal year 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Intangibles - Internal-Use Software

In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance that clarifies the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. This guidance aligns the accounting for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software.

We adopted the guidance on a prospective basis for all implementation costs incurred after the beginning of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements not yet adopted

Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting for Income Taxes to reduce complexity by removing certain exceptions and implementing targeted simplifications. The new standard is effective for us beginning in fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the amendments on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
