Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.”  The new standard is intended to simplify various aspects of accounting for income taxes by removing specific exceptions and amending certain requirements.  We adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2021.  The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”.  The new guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for certain convertible instruments with characteristics of both liability and equity.  The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments.  As a result, after the adoption of this guidance, an entity’s convertible debt instrument will be wholly accounted for as debt.  The guidance also expands disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and simplifies areas of the guidance for diluted earnings-per-share calculations by requiring the use of the if-converted method.  The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements; however, we expect our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets will be significantly impacted following adoption of this new standard on January 1, 2022, as we will no longer report accreted interest on the Notes and the full par value of the Notes will be reflected as debt.

There have been no other material changes in or additions to the recently issued accounting standards as previously reported in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 that affect or may affect our current financial statements.
