Impairments of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Impairments of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than is carrying amount, the Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the related net book value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. The fair value of a reporting unit is estimated by analyzing internal inputs (level 3) to calculate forward values and discounting those values to the present value.

Based on an interim analysis, the Company determined that there were impairment indicators for two of its reporting units and conducted an impairment analysis that concluded $6,151 of goodwill and $3,135 of other intangible assets were impaired and included in impairment losses during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018. The Company does not believe that there are impairment indicators of goodwill for any other reporting units, however the Company will continue to assess the impact of significant events or circumstances on its recorded goodwill.

A rolled forward reconciliation of goodwill from December 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018 is as follows:

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

 


Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation – Continued

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

The Company classifies assets and liabilities (disposal groups) to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group; the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such disposal groups; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the disposal group have been initiated; the sale of the disposal group is probable, and transfer of the disposal group is expected to qualify as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond the Company’s control extend the period of time required to sell the disposal group beyond one year; the disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

The Company initially measures a disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Gains are not recognized on the sale of a disposal group until the date of sale. The Company assesses the fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and reports any subsequent losses as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group.

The Company reports assets and liabilities of the disposal group in the line items assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet in the period the disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. See Note 12 to our consolidated condensed financial statement for information about the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale.

Accounting Principles

Accounting Principles

Our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been included. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 was derived from audited annual consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain reclassifications of prior year’s amounts have been made to conform with the current year’s presentation. Notably, results from asset disposals during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 were reclassified from other income to cost of sales. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Consolidation

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, reflect the consolidated financial position, the consolidated operating results and the consolidated cash flows of the Company. Investments in affiliates in which Gentherm would not have control, but would have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, would be accounted for under the equity method. Investments for which Gentherm is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method. Intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation – Continued

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized from agreements containing enforceable rights and obligations when promised goods are delivered or services are completed, the price is fixed or determinable, and payment has been received or is collectable. The amount of revenue recognized is net of the Company’s obligation for returns, rebates, discounts, taxes, if any, collected from customers, and consideration that is paid to a customer, unless such payment is in exchange for a distinct good or service. The amount of revenue recognized from a contract with a customer reflects the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transfer of good or services.

Automotive Revenues

The Company sells automotive seat comfort systems, specialized automotive cable systems and automotive thermal convenience products under long-term supply agreements (“LTAs”) and, for arrangements that are less than one year in length, purchase orders. LTAs are multiple-year business awards to provide custom designed parts for a particular automotive vehicle program in quantities and at intervals of the customer’s choosing.  LTAs are often multiple-element agreements. The main element in LTAs are production parts; distinct promises from which the customer can benefit separately from other promises or elements in the contract. A second element in LTAs are production part purchase options that provide customers the ability to purchase additional parts at set prices in the future. Judgement is used to determine whether a production part purchase option represents a material right to the customer and should be accounted for as a separate performance obligation.  LTAs that provide customers with a purchase option discount incrementally higher than the range discounts typically given to automotive customers contain a material right. The magnitude of change in the year-over-year option prices and the total number of units expected to be ordered are important factors in the calculation of the option’s fair value and the allocation of transaction price.

The price for parts is set at the point in time the customer exercises its option to purchase additional parts from the Company. A firm order, stating the number of each production part to be delivered, is an independent contract with a discrete transaction price. Revenues are allocated to production parts based on the relative standalone selling prices observed on the LTAs. As a practical alternative to estimating the standalone selling price of an option that provides a customer with a material right, the Company allocates transaction price to options by reference to the production part volumes expected to be ordered and the consideration expected to be received. The Company satisfies its obligation to provide product parts to the customer upon shipment.

When an option to purchase additional production parts in the future represents a material right, the customer effectively is paying Gentherm in advance for production parts each time it exercises the option by placing a firm order commitment. Revenue from options containing a material right are recognized on the basis of direct measurement of the value of production parts transferred to date relative to the total number of production parts expected to be delivered over the life of the vehicle program. Judgement is required to determine the pattern and timing with which an option containing a material right is satisfied and the production part is transferred to a customer.

Industrial Revenues

Our industrial business unit generates revenue from the sale of products and services by our wholly-owned subsidiaries Cincinnati Sub-Zero (“CSZ”) and GPT. Industrial business unit revenues and medical business unit revenues discussed below are reported within the Company’s industrial reportable segment (see Note 5). Industrial business unit customers commonly enter into multiple-element agreements for the purchase of products and services.  Installation services, for example, are separate and distinct performance obligations that are often included in contracts to purchase customized environmental test chambers. Depending on the application, delivery of an environmental test chamber or remote power generation system to the customer’s place of business can range from two weeks to nine months from commencement of the contract. Installation services, while reliant on the specifications and timing from the customer, rarely remain incomplete more than two months after delivery.

Revenues allocated to environmental test chambers or remote power systems are based on the stand alone selling price of products themselves. Judgement is used to determine the degree to which early pay discounts and other credits are utilized in the calculation of standalone selling price, and only included to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. Revenues are recognized at the point in time the chamber or power system is shipped to the customer. For contracts that also include a promise for installation, the portion of total transaction price allocated to the installation is recognized as revenue at the point in time the installation is complete.  

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation – Continued

Revenues from our medical business unit are generated from the sale of products and equipment. Our medical products and equipment focus on body and blood temperature management. The Company sells medical products and equipment primarily through distributor and group purchasing organization agreements. These agreements allow member participants to the distributor or group purchasing organization to make purchases at discounted prices negotiated by the distributor or group purchasing organization.  A rebate is incurred at the point in time a member participant purchases product covered under these types of agreements. Rebates are accounted for as variable consideration, using an expected value, probability weighted approach, based on the level of sales to the distributor and the time lag between the initial sale and the rebate claim in determining the transaction price of a contract.  Revenue is recognized at the point in time the medical products or equipment is transferred to the customer.

Contract Balances

We record a receivable when revenue is recognized at the time of invoicing and unearned revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. For contracts where control of the goods or service is transferred to the customer over time, or whose terms require the customer to make milestone payments throughout the fulfillment period, the timing of revenue recognition is likely to differ from the timing of invoicing to customers.

The opening balance of our accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $185,058 as of January 1, 2018.

We record an allowance for doubtful accounts once exposure to collection risk of an account receivable is specifically identified. We analyze the length of time an account receivable is outstanding, as well as a customer’s payment history and ability to pay to determine the need to record an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows:

Most of Gentherm’s unearned revenue pertains to LTAs containing a material right. In the early periods of an LTA containing a material right, when payments collected from the customer are greater than the standalone selling price of the production parts, revenue associated with the material right is deferred. In future periods, when amounts collected from customers as payment is less than the standalone selling price of the production parts delivered, the deferred revenue is reversed into revenue. For LTAs containing a material right and, thus, the timing of revenue recognition is likely to differ from the timing of invoicing to customer, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to material rights that remain unsatisfied as of September 30, 2018 is $1,914. We expect to recognize into revenue, 17% of this balance in the next 3 months, and the remaining 54%, 16%, 8%, 3% and 2% in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Gentherm often requires milestone payments for contracts to provide environmental test chambers or remote power systems to customers. Milestone payments do not provide the Company with a right to payment for the work completed to date and do not represent the satisfaction of a performance obligation. Milestone payments are deferred and reported within unearned revenue until construction is complete and the unit has been delivered or is installed. If the environmental test chamber contract includes a separate promise to provide installation services, any installation-related payments received from the customer are deferred until the point in time the installation is complete.

 


Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation – Continued

The total amount of unearned revenue associated with environmental chamber and remote power system contracts, including environmental chamber contracts that include a separate obligation to provide installation existed as of September 30, 2018 is $4,214.  Unearned revenue associated with environmental chamber and remote power system contracts is classified within Liabilities held for sale on the consolidated condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2018 and within Accrued liabilities . See Note 12 to our consolidated condensed financial statement for information about the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale. This entire balance is expected to be recognized into revenue during the next 12 months.

See Note 10 for information regarding the unearned revenue associated with these arrangements, including unearned revenue by segment and amounts recognized into revenue during the most recent nine-month period ending September 30, 2018.

Payment terms for contracts with customers generally range from 30 to 120 days from the date of shipment of goods or completion of service or, if applicable, the scheduled milestone payment due date, and do not include components designed to provide customers with financing.

Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the benefits of those costs are expected to be realized for a period greater than one year. Total capitalized costs to obtain a contract were immaterial during the periods presented and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets and other non-current assets.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 was developed to enable financial statement users to better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The update’s core principal is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those good or services. Issuers are to use a five-step contract review model to ensure revenue is measured, recognized, and disclosed in accordance with this principle. The FASB issued several amendments to the update, including a one-year deferral of the original effective date, and new methods for identifying performance obligations that are intended to reduce the cost and complexity of compliance.

We adopted ASU 2014-09 and related amendments effective January 1, 2018 using the cumulative catch-up transition method, which required us to disclose the cumulative effect of initially applying the update recognized at the date of initial application. We elected to apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to contracts that were not completed at January 1, 2018.

The most significant impact from adoption of ASU 2014-09 occurred within our Automotive segment and relates to our accounting for production part purchase options that grant customers a material right to purchase additional parts under long-term supply agreements in the future. Due to the complexity of certain of our automotive supply contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment for customer purchase options will depend on contract-specific terms and could vary from other contracts that are similar in nature. Revenue recognition related to goods and services reported in the Industrial segment remains substantially unchanged.

The amount by which each financial statement line item was affected by application of ASU 2014-09 and related amendments during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 is as follows:

Adoption of ASU 2014-09 and related amendments had no impact to cash from or used in operating, investing or financing activities on our consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.”  ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on the classification of eight specific cash receipt and cash payment transactions in the statement of cash flows. The Company focused its evaluation on the following transactions to determine the effect ASU 2016-15 will have on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

 

1)

Debt extinguishment payments and debt prepayments are to be shown as cash outflows for financing activities.  Previously, Gentherm classified debt extinguishment payments within operating activities.  

 

2)

Payments made to settle contingent consideration liabilities not made soon after the acquisition date of a business combination should be recognized as cash outflows for financing activities up to the amount of the liability recognized at the acquisition date.  Payments, or the portion of a payment, to settle contingent consideration liabilities that exceed the amount of the liability recognized at the acquisition date will be recognized as cash outflows for operating activities.

 

3)

Cash receipts from the settlement of insurance claims, excluding those related to corporate-owned life insurance policies shall be classified on the basis of the related insurance coverage.  For example, proceeds received to cover claims issued under product recall liability insurance would be classified as cash inflows from operating activities.

 

4)

Cash receipts from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies shall be classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

We have adopted ASU 2016-15 and related amendments effective January 1, 2018. None of the cash receipt and cash payment transactions addressed by the update occurred during any of the periods presented in this report. Adoption of this update and related amendments did not have a material impact on the cash flows of the Company.

Income Taxes

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.” ASU 2016-16 modifies the current prohibition to recognize deferred income taxes from differences between the tax basis of assets in the buyer’s tax jurisdiction and their cost resulting from an intra-entity transfer from one tax-paying component to another tax-paying component of the same consolidated group.  Under current GAAP, deferred income taxes for intra-entity asset transfers are not recognized until the asset is sold to an outside party.  ASU 2016-16 allows entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs.

 


Note 11 – New Accounting Pronouncements – Continued

We adopted ASU 2016-16 and related amendments effective January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of such adoption date. As a result of the amendments in ASU 2016-16, a favorable adjustment of $31,645 was recorded directly to retained earnings during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2018.  The new deferred tax assets will be recognized ratably over the useful life of the applicable assets.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2018-02 provides a remedy to a narrow-scope financial reporting issue created by the Tax Act.  The Tax Act required entities to adjust deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the impact from newly enacted lower corporate income tax rates, and recognize the effect in income from continuing operations.  This requirement applied to all deferred tax assets and liabilities, even those which arose from transactions originally recognized in other comprehensive income.  The amendments in ASU 2018-02 allow adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities due to newly enacted lower corporate income tax rates to be recognized in retained earnings, if those deferred tax balances arose from transactions originally recognized in other comprehensive income.  

Income tax effects are released from accumulated other comprehensive income and recorded against the deferred tax balance in the consolidated balance sheet when the underlying activity is realized.  

ASU 2018-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 must be applied in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Act is recognized. We elected to early adopt ASU 2018-02 and related amendments effective January 1, 2018. An adjustment of $40 was recognized against retained earnings for effect of the change in the federal corporate income tax rate on deferred tax amounts. There are no related adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance and no other income tax effects from the Tax Act on balances that remain in accumulated other comprehensive income were reclassified.  

Tax Act

In January 2018, the FASB released guidance on the accounting for tax on the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Tax Act. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company elected to treat any potential GILTI inclusions as a period cost.

Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU 2017-04 modified the concept of impairment of goodwill to be a condition that exists when the carrying value of a reporting unit that includes goodwill exceeds its fair value. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Entities no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination.

ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 must be applied on a prospective basis and in the initial period of adoption, entities must disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. The Company has adopted the accounting principles in ASU 2017-04 and applied them to our test for goodwill impairment. See Note 12 for information about the goodwill impairment loss recognized during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018.

Cloud Computing Arrangements That Are Service Contracts

In August 2018, the 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.” ASU 2018-15 provides guidance on when costs incurred to implement a hosting arrangement that is a service contract are and are not capitalized, aligning with the guidance for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Entities must first determine the project stage of the implementation activity; depending on their nature, costs for implementation activities in the application development stage are capitalized and costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as the activities are performed. Capitalized implementation costs should be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement on a straight-line basis and presented in the same line items in the consolidated condensed statement of income as the expense for fees for the associated hosting arrangements.  Similarly, capitalized implementation costs should be presented in same line item in the balance sheet as prepaid fees for the associated hosting arrangement and cash flows from capitalized implementation costs should be classified in the same manner as cash flows for the fees for the associated hosting arrangement.

ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. ASU 2018-15 permits two methods of adoption: prospectively to costs for activities performed on or after the date the entity first applies the content from the update, or retrospectively to all periods presented. We are currently in the process of determining the impact implementation of ASU 2018-15 will have on the Company’s financial statement note disclosures.

Retirement Benefits

In August 2018, the 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 ASU 2018-14 were developed using the concepts incorporated in the FASB’s Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting – Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, which were finalized in August 2018.  The amendments in this update remove the following disclosure requirements, among others, from Subtopic 715-20:

 

1)

The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year.

 

2)

The amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer.

The following disclosure requirements were added to Subtopic 715-20:

 

1)

The weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates.

 

2)

An explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period.

ASU 2018-14 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the amendments in this update are permitted. Entities should apply the amendments in this update on a retrospective basis to all periods presented.  We are currently in the process of determining the impact implementation of ASU 2018-14 will have on the Company’s financial statement note disclosures.

Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.”  The amendments in ASU 2018-13 were developed using the concepts incorporated in the FASBs Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting – Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, which were finalized in August 2018.  The amendments in this update remove the following disclosure requirements from Topic 820:

 

1)

The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

2)

The policy for timing of transfer between levels.

Note 11 – New Accounting Pronouncements – Continued

 

3)

The valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements.

The following disclosure requirements were added to Topic 820:

 

1)

The changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period.

 

2)

The range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.

ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of disclosures that are removed is permitted, but adoption is delayed for the new additional disclosures until their effective date. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 that provide for new additional disclosure should be applied on a prospective basis, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. We are currently in the process of determining the impact implementation of ASU 2018-13 will have on the Company’s financial statement note disclosures.

Leases  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).”  ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on their balance sheet a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Payments to be made in optional periods should be included in the measurement of lease assets and liabilities if the lessee is reasonably certain it will exercise an option to extend the lease or not exercise an option to terminate the lease.  While ASU 2016-02 continues to differentiate between finance or capital leases and operating leases, the principal change from current lease accounting guidance is that lease assets and liabilities arising from operating leases will be recognized on the balance sheet.  

ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of the amendments in this update are permitted. The FASB has issued several amendments to ASU 2016-02, including ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” that introduced an additional transition method permitting an entity to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.  

ASU 2016-02 includes optional practical expedients intended to reduce the cost and complexity to implement the new lease standard, such as an option to maintain the current lease classification for all existing lease arrangements and the option to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease. We expect to elect these practical expedients. The Company expects to add right-of-use assets and the corresponding liabilities to the consolidated condensed balance sheet less that 5% of total assets as of the implementation date, depending on the ultimate selection of appropriate discount rates for cash flow under the leases.
