Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation | NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION X4 Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of novel therapeutics for the treatment of rare diseases. The Company’s lead product candidate, mavorixafor, is a potential first-in-class, once-daily, oral inhibitor of CXCR4 and is currently in a Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis (“WHIM”) syndrome, a rare, inherited, primary immunodeficiency disease caused by genetic mutations in the CXCR4 receptor gene. The Company is also conducting a 14-day, proof-of-concept Phase 1b clinical trial of mavorixafor in patients with severe congenital neutropenia (“SCN”) and chronic neutropenia disorders, and a Phase 1b clinical trial of mavorixafor in combination with ibrutinib in Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (“Waldenström’s”). Going Concern Assessment— The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $76.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operating expense and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2022. However, as further discussed in Note 7, the Company has a covenant under its loan agreement with Hercules Capital Inc. (“Hercules”) that requires that the Company maintain a minimum level of cash, as defined, beginning on April 1, 2022, which date is extended if the Company meets certain financial milestones related to third party funding. Based on its current financial projections, the Company believes it would be in violation of this covenant in the second quarter of 2022. If the Company is in violation of this covenant, Hercules could require the repayment of all outstanding debt. As a result, the Company believes that, in the aggregate, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Nevertheless, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. In order to fund its operations beyond 2021, the Company is seeking to raise funds potentially through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations and strategic alliances. If the Company is unable to obtain future funding when needed, the Company may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs, product portfolio expansion or pre-commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects, or the Company may be unable to continue operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company to fund continuing operations, if at all. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant Accounting Policies— The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 19, 2021 (the “2020 Annual Report”). Since the date of those consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies. Risks and Uncertainties— The impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been and, notwithstanding the recent commencement of vaccination efforts, is expected to continue to be extensive in many aspects of society, which has resulted in and will likely continue to result in significant disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses and capital markets around the world. Impacts to the Company’s business have included temporary closures or postponements of activation of its clinical trial sites or facilities, disruptions or restrictions on its employees’ ability to travel, disruptions to or delays in ongoing clinical trials, including patient enrollment at a slower pace than initially projected and the diversion of healthcare resources away from the conduct of the Company’s clinical trials as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the diversion of hospitals serving as the Company’s clinical trial sites and hospital staff supporting the conduct of the Company’s clinical trials. In addition, the Company is subject to other challenges and risks specific to its business and its ability to execute on its business plan and strategy, as well as risks and uncertainties common to companies in the biotechnology industry with research and development operations, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: obtaining regulatory approval of its product candidates; delays or problems in obtaining clinical supply, loss of single source suppliers or failure to comply with manufacturing regulations; identifying, acquiring or in-licensing additional products or product candidates; product development and the inherent uncertainty of clinical success; and the challenges of protecting and enhancing its intellectual property rights; and the challenges of complying with applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, to the extent the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects the Company’s business and results of operations, it is expected also to have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties discussed above. Principles of Consolidation— The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including X4 Pharmaceuticals (Austria) GmbH, which is incorporated in Vienna, Austria (“X4 Austria”), and X4 Therapeutics, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements— The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 that is presented in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the 2020 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments as necessary, for the fair statement of the Company’s condensed financial position, condensed results of its operations and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. Use of Estimates— The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the accrual of research and development expenses, the impairment or lack of impairment of long-lived assets including operating lease right-of-use assets and goodwill, and the constraint of variable consideration from contracts with customers. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and is expected to continue to impact the clinical development timelines for certain of the Company's clinical programs. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents— The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consisted of money market funds as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Restricted Cash (in thousands) As of September 30, 2021 As of December 31, 2020 Letter of credit security: Cambridge lease $ — $ 264 Letter of credit security: Waltham lease 250 250 Letter of credit security: Vienna Austria lease 222 336 Letter of credit security: Boston lease 855 1,144 Total restricted cash $ 1,327 $ 1,994 Restricted cash included in prepaid expenses and other current assets $ — $ 264 Restricted cash included in other assets $ 1,327 $ 1,730 In connection with the Company’s lease agreements for its facilities in Massachusetts and Austria, the Company maintains letters of credit, which are secured by restricted cash, for the benefit of the respective landlord. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the sum of the total of amounts shown in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019: (in thousands) September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 76,393 $ 78,708 $ 88,812 $ 126,184 Restricted cash, current portion — 264 — — Restricted cash, non-current 1,327 1,730 1,905 1,902 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 77,720 $ 80,702 $ 90,717 $ 128,086 Goodwill— Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Examples of such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal or business climate, an adverse regulatory action or unanticipated competition. The Company has determined that it operates in a single operating segment and has a single reporting unit. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company were to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would perform an interim quantitative impairment test, whereby the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company measures the amount of impairment loss, if any, as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the reporting unit. There were no triggering events during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 that necessitated an interim impairment test of goodwill. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 was issued to reduce the complexity of accounting for financial instruments having characteristics of both debt and equity. For example, the new standard modifies the scope exception to derivative accounting under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - --Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, by eliminating certain required settlement criteria, such as the requirement that shares of common stock issued upon exercise of a warrant not require an active registration statement. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021 and the adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes, including the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021 and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 was issued to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants for the purchase of common shares) that remain classified as equity following the modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 is effective January 1, 2022 for the Company. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13"), as amended. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as trade receivables, be presented net of expected credit losses, which may be estimated based on relevant information such as historical experience, current conditions, and future expectation for each pool of similar financial asset. The new guidance requires enhanced disclosures related to trade receivables and associated credit losses.

The Hercules Loan Agreement provides for maximum borrowings of up to $50.0 million, which include (i) subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones and conditions, a right of the Company to request that Hercules make additional term loan advances in an aggregate amount of up to $7.5 million through June 30, 2022 and (ii) subject to Hercules investment committee’s sole discretion, a right of the Company to request that Hercules make additional term loan advances in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million through December 31, 2022.

Borrowings under the Hercules Loan Agreement are repayable in monthly interest-only payments through January 1, 2023, and in equal monthly payments of principal and accrued interest from February 1, 2023 until the maturity date of the loan, which is July 1, 2024. The Company may prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding borrowings, subject to a prepayment premium of up to 2.0%, 1.0% or 0.5% of the principal amount outstanding as of the date of repayment, in each case depending on when such repayment is made. In addition, the Hercules Loan Agreement provides for payments of $0.8 million, $1.3 million, and $0.8 million payable on January 1, 2022, July 1, 2023 and July 1, 2024, respectively, which payments are accelerated upon the prepayment of the borrowings upon the Company’s election on upon default of the loan.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | LEASES The Company has lease agreements for its facilities in Boston, Massachusetts, which is the Company’s principal executive office; Vienna, Austria, which is the Company’s research and development center; and Waltham, Massachusetts, which the Company has sublet to a third party. There are no restrictions or financial covenants associated with any of the lease agreements. Vienna Austria Leases— The Company had an operating lease, as amended, for approximately 400 square meters of laboratory and office space in Vienna, Austria, which commenced on March 1, 2019, as amended, for a term of approximately 2 years terminating in April 2021. The annual base rent for the previous lease was approximately $154 thousand. In September 2020, the Company entered into a new operating lease for approximately 1,200 square meters of laboratory and office space in Vienna, Austria (“Vienna Lease”), which commenced in February 2021 following construction of laboratory and office space for a term of 7 years. The Company contributed $709 thousand to building improvements, which are classified as part of the right-of-use asset. The Company recorded a right-of-use asset and associated lease liabilities upon the commencement of the Vienna Lease in the first quarter of 2021. The annual base rent for the Vienna Lease, following a 6-month rent free period, is approximately $300 thousand. Boston Lease — The Company leases approximately 28,000 square feet of office space in Boston, Massachusetts (“Boston Lease”), which serves as the Company’s headquarters. Base rental payments are approximately $1.0 million annually, plus certain operating expenses. The term of the Boston Lease will continue until November 2026, unless earlier terminated. The Company has the right to sublease the premises, subject to landlord consent and also has the right to renew the Boston Lease for an additional five years at the then prevailing effective market rental rate. The Company is required to maintain a security deposit in the form of a letter of credit for $855 thousand for the benefit of the landlord. Waltham Lease— The Company leases approximately 6,000 square feet of office space in Waltham, Massachusetts (“Waltham Lease”). The Waltham Lease, as amended, commenced on January 1, 2019, and expires approximately five years from the commencement date. The base rent is approximately $263 thousand annually. In addition to the base rent, the Company is also responsible for its share of operating expenses, electricity and real estate taxes, which costs are not included in the determination of the leases’ right-of-use assets or lease liabilities. The Company is subleasing the space to a third party for the duration of the lease. The right-of-use asset is being amortized to rent expense over the five-year term of the lease. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate in calculating the present value of the lease payments. The Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The components of lease expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: (dollars in thousands) For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, Lease Cost 2021 2020 2021 2020 Fixed operating lease cost $ 537 $ 413 $ 1,554 $ 847 Short-term lease costs — 40 42 116 Total lease expense $ 537 $ 453 $ 1,596 $ 963 Other information Right-of-use asset obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities $ — $ 4,646 $ 1,343 $ 4,646 Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 314 $ 479 $ 917 $ 963 Sublease income $ 49 $ 49 $ 147 $ 146 Weighted-average remaining lease term—operating leases 5.2 years Weighted-average discount rate—operating leases 11.3 % Maturities of lease liabilities due under lease agreements that have commenced as of September 30, 2021 are as follows (in thousands) Maturity of lease liabilities Operating 2021 (remainder of the year) $ 396 2022 1,604 2023 1,632 2024 1,397 2025 1,425 Thereafter 1,708 Total lease payments 8,162 Less: interest (2,054) Total operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2021 $ 6,108 |

As of September 30, 2021, all performance criteria had been met. Stock-based compensation expense is being recognized for these performance-based awards using the accelerated attribution model based on the fair value of the awards as of the date of grant and the vesting dates, less estimated forfeitures. Stock-Based Compensation— As of September 30, 2021, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options and restricted stock units was $8.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXESThe Company did not record a federal or state income tax benefit for its losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, due to the conclusion that a full valuation allowance is required against the Company’s U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $14 thousand and $148 thousand related to certain foreign jurisdictions. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss per Share | NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was calculated as follow: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (in thousands, except per share data) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Numerator: Net loss $ (20,175) $ (17,449) $ (58,489) $ (43,731) Deemed dividend as a result of Class B warrant price reset (Note 10) — — (8,239) — Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ (20,175) $ (17,449) $ (66,728) $ (43,731) Denominator: Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding—basic and diluted 26,609 20,085 24,667 20,035 Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders— basic and diluted $ (0.76) $ (0.87) $ (2.71) $ (2.18) The Company included 229,885 shares of redeemable common stock in its computation of basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as these shares of common stock, until their repurchase and retirement, participated in losses similarly to other shares of common stock. Basic and diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 also include the weighted average effect of outstanding pre-funded warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock for which the remaining unfunded exercise price is $0.01 or less per share. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. All potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share, and thus they are considered “anti-dilutive.” Therefore, the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company excluded the following potential shares of common stock, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Options to purchase shares of common stock 1,952,891 1,613,024 1,952,891 1,613,024 Unvested restricted stock units 906,873 611,994 906,873 611,994 Warrants to purchase shares of common stock (excluding prefunded warrants, which are included in basic shares outstanding) 9,449,128 9,626,040 9,449,128 9,626,040 12,308,892 11,851,058 12,308,892 11,851,058 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation— The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including X4 Pharmaceuticals (Austria) GmbH, which is incorporated in Vienna, Austria (“X4 Austria”), and X4 Therapeutics, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. |
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements | Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements— The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 that is presented in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the 2020 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments as necessary, for the fair statement of the Company’s condensed financial position, condensed results of its operations and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates— The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the accrual of research and development expenses, the impairment or lack of impairment of long-lived assets including operating lease right-of-use assets and goodwill, and the constraint of variable consideration from contracts with customers. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and is expected to continue to impact the clinical development timelines for certain of the Company's clinical programs. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents— The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consisted of money market funds as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. |
Goodwill | Goodwill— Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Examples of such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal or business climate, an adverse regulatory action or unanticipated competition. The Company has determined that it operates in a single operating segment and has a single reporting unit. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 was issued to reduce the complexity of accounting for financial instruments having characteristics of both debt and equity. For example, the new standard modifies the scope exception to derivative accounting under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - --Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, by eliminating certain required settlement criteria, such as the requirement that shares of common stock issued upon exercise of a warrant not require an active registration statement. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021 and the adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes, including the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021 and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 was issued to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants for the purchase of common shares) that remain classified as equity following the modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 is effective January 1, 2022 for the Company. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13"), as amended. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as trade receivables, be presented net of expected credit losses, which may be estimated based on relevant information such as historical experience, current conditions, and future expectation for each pool of similar financial asset. The new guidance requires enhanced disclosures related to trade receivables and associated credit losses. In accordance with ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)- Effective Dates, |
