New accounting pronouncements New accounting pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2019-12 "Income Taxes," which provides for certain updates to reduce complexity in the accounting for income taxes, including the utilization of the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, among others. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect the implementation of ASU 2019-12 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16 “Derivatives and Hedging: Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes,” which allows the use of the SOFR and OIS rate as benchmark rates after the Federal Reserve started publishing such daily rates on April 3, 2018. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 using the prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 "Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General," which modifies certain disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect the implementation of ASU 2019-12 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets held. The measurement of expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will adopt this standard using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $200 as of January 1, 2020. The Company does not expect the implementation of ASU 2016-13 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2016-02, "Leases" (“ASU 2016-02”) requiring lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all long-term leases and requiring disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. The accounting for lessors does not fundamentally change except for changes to conform and align guidance to the lessee guidance and the revenue recognition standard adopted in 2018. The Company established a cross-functional team to implement certain software solutions as part of its newly integrated enterprise-wide lease management system. The implementation plan included developing business processes, accounting systems, and internal controls to ensure the Company's compliance with reporting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance and, as also provided for under the standard, has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the balance sheet leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases and has elected to combine lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all classes of assets.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method and elected to apply the optional transition approach prescribed by ASU 2018-11 which allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date, without adjusting comparative periods. Upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company recorded on its consolidated balance sheet right of use assets totaling $336,083 and lease liabilities totaling $344,362, as well as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $6,771 and a $1,508 reduction to deferred tax liabilities.
Other than the pronouncements discussed above, there have been no other newly issued nor newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Further, at December 31, 2019, there were no other pronouncements pending adoption that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
