RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. For short-term leases (those with a term of 12 months or less and that do not include a lessee purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised), a lessee is permitted to make (and the Company chose to utilize) an accounting policy election by asset class not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities, which would generally result in lease expense for these short term leases being recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the requirements of this standard effective January 1, 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements, which allows lessees and lessors to recognize and measure existing leases at the beginning of the period of adoption without modifying the comparative period financial statements (which therefore will remain under prior GAAP, Topic 840, Leases). The Company elected to use the optional expedient to reflect adoption in the period of adoption (January 1, 2019) rather than the earliest period presented. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients upon transition, which includes retaining the lease classification for any leases that exist prior to adoption of the standard. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of net lease assets and lease liabilities of $384,187 and $389,403, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows. See Note 6, "Leases" for a discussion regarding leases under the new standard.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which is intended to simplify and amend the application of hedge accounting to more clearly portray the economics of an entity’s risk management strategies in its financial statements. The new guidance will make more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting and reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The new guidance also changes how companies assess effectiveness and amends the presentation and disclosure requirements. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument will be required to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The new guidance also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The new guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. The Company adopted the requirements of this standard effective January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 805): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The ASU amends ASC 815 to add the OIS rate based on the SOFR as a fifth US benchmark interest rate. The Company adopted the requirements of this standard effective January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework- Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements of fair value measurements under Topic 820. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years. The Company adopted the requirements of this standard effective January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The new guidance contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU No. 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The amendments in the ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
Accounting Standards Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted by the Company
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance intends to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other such commitments. This update requires that financial statement assets measured at an amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. This standard is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the impact from the adoption of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
