Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, including sales, expenses, reserves and allowances, manufacturing, clinical trials, research and development costs and employee-related amounts, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain. We are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to our estimates, judgments and assumptions or a revision of the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of October 29, 2020, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and such differences may be material.
New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, “Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”: In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new standard also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
ASU 2020-01, “Investments - Equity Securities, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging - Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815”: In January 2020, the FASB issued a new standard intended to clarify the interactions between Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 321, ASC 323 and ASC 815. The new standard addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measurement of certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires changes to be made prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting": In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), regulators around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. In March 2020, the FASB issued a new standard that provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform, including optional expedients and exceptions for the accounting implications of contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.
The amendments in this new standard only apply to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the standard do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. We are currently reviewing our contracts impacted by reference rate reform and are assessing the impact of this standard on our financial condition and results of operations.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract": In August 2018, the FASB issued a new standard on a customer's accounting for implementation, set-up, and other upfront costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement (CCA) that aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a CCA service contract with existing internal-use software guidance. The standard also provides classification guidance on these implementation costs as well as additional
quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and can be adopted prospectively or retrospectively.
We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our financial statements at the date of adoption; however, we anticipate the adoption of this standard will result in an increase in capitalized assets related to qualifying CCA implementation costs in future periods.
Qualifying CCA implementation, set-up and other upfront costs incurred after January 1, 2020 are capitalized as other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These assets will be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement and such expense will be presented within the same line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as the expense for fees for the associated hosting arrangement. These capitalized costs will be evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the capitalized implementation costs is not recoverable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, capitalized CCA implementation costs were not material.
ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments": In June 2016, the FASB issued a new standard intended to improve reporting requirements specific to loans, receivables and other financial instruments. The new standard requires that credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost be determined using an expected loss model, instead of the current incurred loss model, and requires that credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses and limited to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosure of credit risk associated with financial assets. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted.
We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020 and have completed our assessment of the standard based on the composition of our portfolio of financial instruments and current and forecasted economic conditions at that date. Our significant financial assets that are within the scope of the new standard consist of trade accounts receivable and available for sale debt securities. We have not historically experienced any material credit losses associated with our trade accounts receivable or available for debt securities.
We monitor economic conditions, including volatility associated with international economies and the associated impacts on the financial markets and our business. We disaggregate our trade accounts receivable population into pools of similar risk characteristics based on underlying customer type and geographical location. Current expected credit loss allowances are estimated for each risk pool based on available information, including i) historical credit loss experience, ii) current economic conditions and, iii) reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions that may affect the collectibility of the recorded amounts. Based on the relevant facts and economic conditions as of the date of adoption, we concluded that the expected credit losses on our trade accounts receivable were immaterial. Additionally, unrealized losses on our available for sale investment portfolio were immaterial.
As of September 30, 2020, we reassessed our estimated credit losses on our trade accounts receivable, including consideration of the potential impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Based on the relevant facts and economic conditions as of September 30, 2020, we concluded that the expected credit losses on our trade accounts receivable continued to be immaterial.
