Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to existing guidance under the Income Taxes topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”). This updated guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in the Income Taxes topic. This guidance is effective for public companies annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance under the Investments topic of the Codification. This update introduced a new impairment model for financial assets, known as the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The CECL model requires an entity to estimate credit losses on financial assets, including trade accounts receivable, based on historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Under this guidance companies record an allowance through earnings for expected credit losses upon initial recognition of the financial asset. We adopted the aspects of this guidance applicable to us on a modified retrospective basis as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
