Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Guidance Implemented in 2019



Standards Adopted	Description	Effective Date
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)	The standard requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities associated with the rights and obligations attributable to most leases but also recognize expenses similar to current lease accounting. The standard also requires certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, along with additional key information about leasing arrangements. The new guidance can be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and provides for certain practical expedients. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods that approximates the results of a full retrospective approach without restating prior periods. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed historical lease classification to be carried forward. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient to consolidate less significant non-lease components into the lease component for all asset classes. The Company made an accounting policy election, as permitted by Topic 842 to only record a right-of-use asset and related liability for leases with an initial term in excess of 12 months. The Company will recognize those lease payments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company recognized a right-of-use asset of $197.6 million, with corresponding related lease liabilities of $197.6 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For more information, refer to Note 10, “Leases”.	January 1, 2019
ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income	The standard provides entities the option to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects resulting from the Tax Act related to items stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The new guidance was applied retrospectively as of January 1, 2019. As a result of this new accounting guidance, $15.4 million of tax benefit formerly booked to Other Comprehensive Income was reclassified to retained earnings.	January 1, 2019
ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities	The ASU amends the current hedge accounting model and eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The ASU also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Companies are required to apply amendments to cash flow and net investment hedge relationship using modified retrospective method and apply prospective method for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, as such, no adjustment was recorded.	January 1, 2019
