ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
 
 
 
 
This standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment.  ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation.  A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
 
January 1, 2020
 
The new standard will be applied prospectively when performing our annual impairment test of goodwill, or in an interim period if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that may indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount.  We anticipate that the prospective adoption of the standard will not materially impact the amount of goodwill impairment, if any.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses
 
This standard creates a single model to measure impairment on financial assets, which includes trade accounts receivable.  An estimate of expected credit losses on trade accounts receivable over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception, based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
 
January 1, 2020
 
 
The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the manner in which we estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts on trade accounts receivable, or on our consolidated financial statements.

Standards that are not yet adopted as of June 30, 2020

The following table provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted as of June 30, 2020, and that could have an impact on our financial statements:

ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
 
This standard is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain ASC Topic 740 exceptions in performing intra-period tax allocations among income statement components, in calculating certain deferred tax liabilities related to outside basis differences, and in calculating income taxes in interim periods with year-to-date losses. In addition, this standard is also intended to improve consistency and add simplification by clarifying and amending the reporting of franchise taxes and other taxes partially based on income, the recognition of deferred income taxes related to the step-up in tax basis goodwill, and the reporting in interim periods of the recognition of the enactment of tax laws or rate changes.
 
January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted
 
The new standard clarifies the accounting for income taxes in certain technical areas that will not impact all companies.  Although we currently believe that the technical clarifications in the new standard will not materially impact our accounting for income taxes, our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures upon adoption, we are currently evaluating its potential impact.  The new standard can be applied on a prospective basis in certain instances and in other instances on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
 
This standard is intended to provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The new standard is applicable to contracts that reference LIBOR, or another reference rate, expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform.
 
Effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022
 
The new standard may be applied as of the beginning of an interim period that includes March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.  As certain of our contracts reference LIBOR, including our revolving credit facility and supply chain financing arrangements, we are currently reviewing the optional guidance in the standard to determine its impact upon the discontinuance of LIBOR.  At this time, we do not believe that the new guidance, nor the discontinuance of LIBOR, will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
