Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
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 (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of the FASB’s disclosure framework project. For all entities, ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Certain amendments must be applied prospectively while others are to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company adopted this guidance as of July 1, 2020, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, we will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company adopted this guidance as of July 1, 2021, prospectively, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
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, which amend the accounting for implementation, setup and other upfront costs for entities that are a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 was effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including emerging growth companies, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. Application of the amendments can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company adopted this guidance as of July 1, 2021, prospectively, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which, among other things, requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance for substantially all leases, including operating leases. Expanded disclosures with additional qualitative and quantitative information are also required. ASC 2016-02 and its related amendments were effective for public companies with interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and for non-public companies, including emerging growth companies, with interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption was permitted.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 and its amendments as of July 1, 2021, using the modified retrospective method and under such method no recast of prior-period financial statements was presented. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical assessments of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. In addition, the Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The Company elected a policy of not applying the recognition requirements to leases with a term of less than twelve months. The Company elected to account for lease and non-lease components as a combined single lease component.
