Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity

In August 2020, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity and the diluted earnings per share computations for these instruments. This guidance removes major separation models required under current guidance enabling more convertible debt instruments to be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This guidance also removes certain settlement conditions required for equity

contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. In addition, this guidance requires the “if-converted” method be applied for all convertible instruments (the treasury stock method is no longer available) and removes the ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for contracts that may be settled in cash or stock.

The Company adopted this guidance on January 30, 2022, using the modified retrospective transition method which allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption and does not require retrospective adjustments to prior periods. Using this transition method, the cumulative effect of the accounting change increased the carrying amount of the Notes by $27.5 million, reduced deferred income tax liabilities by $6.2 million, reduced additional paid-in capital by $43.1 million and increased retained earnings by $21.8 million, with no restatement of prior periods. Refer to Note 10 for the impact on the Notes and Note 18 for the impact on the earnings per share calculation.

Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options

In May 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains classified in equity after modification or exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). The Company adopted this guidance on January 30, 2022 which had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Government Assistance

In November 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to increase the transparency of government assistance. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively on January 30, 2022. During fiscal 2023 the Company recorded $9.3 million related to government assistance. This amount mostly relates to support for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance to provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to certain criteria, referencing LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued subsequent amendments to further clarify the scope of optional expedients and exceptions to derivatives affected by the transition. The new guidance is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period.

The Company identified and will modify, if necessary, its loans and other financial instruments with attributes directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. The Company determined, of its current LIBOR references as outlined in Note 8 Borrowings and Finance Lease Obligations, Note 20, Fair Value Measurements, and Note 21, Derivative Financial Instruments, only the obligations under Mortgage Debt, Credit Facilities, and Interest Rate Swap Agreements are impacted by this guidance. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
