Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance Leases On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Its core principle is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet, while retaining a distinction between financing and operating leases. In the third quarter of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, which provides improvements to narrow aspects of the guidance and ASU 2018-11, which provides an optional alternative transition method to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date (collectively, with ASU 2016-02, Topic 842). Effective January 1, 2019, Federated adopted Topic 842 using the alternative transition method, which did not require the restatement of prior years. In connection with the adoption of Topic 842, management has elected the package of practical expedients, which allows entities to not reassess (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. Management did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term. Upon adoption, Federated recorded $133.7 million as a lease liability and, after the reclassification of certain lease-related liabilities into the right-of-use (ROU) asset, $112.2 million as a ROU asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which consists primarily of Federated's operating real estate leases. The adoption did not have a material impact on Federated's results of operations or cash flows. Goodwill Impairment During the second quarter 2019, Federated adopted ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, effective January 1, 2019. Under this ASU, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, the ASU retains the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The ASU required the prospective adoption method. The adoption did not have an impact to Federated's Consolidated Financial Statements. (b) Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted Credit Losses On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology with a current expected credit loss (CECL) model. CECL requires an entity to estimate lifetime expected credit losses based on relevant information about historical events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The update is effective for Federated on January 1, 2020. While early adoption is permitted, Federated does not plan to early adopt in 2019. The update requires the modified retrospective adoption method. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption to Federated's Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair Value Measurement On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update remove, modify or add disclosure requirements for fair value measurements to improve the effectiveness of disclosures. The update is effective for Federated on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and allows for either the prospective or retrospective adoption method. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption to Federated's Consolidated Financial Statements. Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement On August 29, 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 (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The update is effective for Federated on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and allows for either the prospective or retrospective adoption method. Management plans to elect the prospective adoption approach, which does not require the restatement of prior years. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption to Federated's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Leases | Leases Prior to the adoption of Topic 842, Federated classified leases as either capital or operating in accordance with the provisions of Topic 840. All leases for the periods presented prior to January 1, 2019 were classified as operating leases. Rent expense under noncancelable operating leases with scheduled rent increases or rent holidays was accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term, beginning on the date of initial possession or the effective date of the lease agreement. The amount of the excess of straight-line rent expense over scheduled payments was recorded as a deferred liability. The liability was then reduced when scheduled payments were in excess of the straight-line rent expense. Build-out allowances and other such lease incentives were recorded as deferred credits, and were amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rent expense beginning in the period they were deemed to have been earned, which generally coincided with the effective date of the lease. The current portion of remaining deferred lease costs and unamortized build-out allowances was included in Other Current Liabilities and the long-term portion was included in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of and prior to December 31, 2018. Following the adoption of Topic 842, Federated classifies leases as either operating or financing in accordance with the provisions of Topic 842, and records a ROU asset and a lease liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments remaining at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured as the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made prior to the lease commencement date and lease incentives received. In accordance with Topic 842 and Property and Equipment impairment guidance, ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In determining the present value of the lease liability, Topic 842 requires a lessee to use the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate is not readily determinable, its incremental borrowing rate (IBR). All leases for the periods presented are classified as operating leases. Management has made the following accounting policy elections: (1) not to separate lease components from non-lease components for all asset classes and (2) to apply the short-term lease exception, which does not require the capitalization of leases with terms of 12 months or less. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term, beginning on the earlier of the effective date of the lease or the date Federated obtains control of the asset. The lease term may include options to extend the lease when they are reasonably certain of being exercised. Management judgments are used when reviewing new and/or materially-modified contracts to determine (1) whether the contract is, or contains, a lease, and (2) the IBR. Management was unable to determine the rates implicit in Federated's leases based on the information available at the commencement date, therefore, management calculated an IBR for each lease. In order to calculate the IBR, management began with readily observable unsecured rates, and adjusted for the following assumptions: (1) collateralization, (2) length remaining in the lease and (3) the type of ROU asset.
