Accounting standards issued pending adoption as of December 31, 2022
ASU No. 2020-04: Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), as amended through December 2022Provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued, subject to meeting certain criteria.
We currently have interest rate derivative agreements with hedging relationships that reference LIBOR, which is going to be discontinued effective July 1, 2023. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. Effective February 9, 2023, we elected optional expedients under this guidance that provide temporary relief over contract modifications and hedge accounting in order to maintain hedge effectiveness upon modifying contract terms related to reference rate reform in our amended and restated credit agreement and transition our interest rate derivative agreements from LIBOR to another reference rate. See Note 12, Debt. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. This guidance will be in effect through December 31, 2024.
ASU No. 2021-08: Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805)Requires entities to apply ASC 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. This guidance improves comparability after the business combination by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination.We have made in the past, and we may make in the future, acquisitions to densify existing operations, expand service areas, and grow services for our customers and these acquisitions may include contract assets or contract liabilities. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023.
