Note 4: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted:

ASU No. 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), ASU No. 2018-10 - Codification improvements to Topic 842, Leases (“ASU 2018-10”), ASU No. 2018-11 - Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2018-11”) (collectively, the “New Leasing Standard”)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amended the accounting treatment for leases. ASU 2016 -02 requires that a lessee should recognize on its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11. ASU 2018-10 provides certain areas for improvement in ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 provides an additional optional transition method by allowing entities to initially apply the New Leasing Standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption (the "effective date method"). The New Leasing Standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company adopted the New Leasing Standard as of January 1, 2019 using the effective date method by recording right-of-
use assets of $112.3 million, net of deferred rent liabilities of $5.1 million that were reclassified to right-of-use assets, and lease liabilities of $117.4 million. Under this method, periods prior to 2019 remain unchanged. The Company applied the practical expedients relating to the leases that commenced before January 1, 2019 whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. See Note 8: ''Balance Sheet Information'' for further information and disclosures relating to the New Leasing Standard.

Pending Adoption:

ASU 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments) (“ASU 2016-13”)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 and subsequently issued further clarifications and amendments which changed the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) measurement to estimate the allowance for credit losses over the contractual life of the financial assets and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. There are no prescribed methods to develop an estimate of CECL. The CECL model, among others, applies to trade receivables and contract assets that result from revenue transactions, debt instruments except available for sale debt securities and loan commitments. The standard is effective for public companies on January 1, 2020. The Company has evaluated the provisions of the standard and does not anticipate the adoption of the ASU 2016-13 with its subsequent amendments to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-15 – Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (“ASU 2018-15”)

In 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 requiring a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (i.e. hosting arrangement) that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40: Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. The capitalized costs will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, beginning when the module or component of the hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. This standard is effective on January 1, 2020. Companies are permitted to apply either a retrospective or prospective transition approach to adopt the guidance. With the hosting arrangements currently in effect, the Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2018-15 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2019-12 – Income taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the accounting for income taxes (“ASU 2019-12”)

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the Company reflects any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period for which such early adoption occurs. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
