17. New Accounting Pronouncement

Leases - On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. Under this guidance, lessees are required to recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of approximately $214 million of lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets for operating leases as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 had no material impact on the Company’s retained earnings, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients relating to the identification, classification and initial direct costs of leases commencing before the effective date, and the transitional practical expedient for the treatment of existing land easements; however, the Company did not elect the hindsight transitional practical expedient. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to not account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) separately from the nonlease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs). See Note 7, Leases, for additional information.

Credit Losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes - In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which gives entities the option to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

(the “Act”) related to items in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) that the FASB refers to as having been stranded in AOCI. The new guidance may be applied retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Act is recognized in the period of adoption. The Company must adopt this guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2019. The Company has not elected to reclassify income tax effects of the Act from AOCI to retained earnings.

Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement - In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which modifies the fair value disclosure requirements. Application of the standard is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans - In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” which modifies the defined benefit plan disclosure requirements. Application of the standard is required for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
