Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
Simplified Accounting for Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance simplifying the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to general principles related to intra-period income tax allocations, ownership changes in foreign investments and calculating income taxes in an interim period when year-to-date losses exceed total anticipated losses. The guidance also simplifies the accounting for income taxes related to franchise taxes partially based on income, the step up in the income tax basis of goodwill, allocation of current and deferred income tax expense for certain legal entities and enacted changes in income tax laws or rates during interim periods, among other improvements. This guidance was adopted during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 on a prospective basis and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance to provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to certain criteria, referencing LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued subsequent amendments to further clarify the scope of optional expedients and exceptions to derivatives affected by the transition. The new guidance is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period.
The Company identified and will modify, if necessary, its loans and other financial instruments with attributes directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. The Company determined, of its current LIBOR references as outlined in Note 8 Borrowings and Finance Lease Obligations, Note 21, Fair Value Measurements, and Note 22, Derivative Financial Instruments, only the obligations under Mortgage Debt, Credit Facilities, and Interest Rate Swap Agreements are impacted by this guidance. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity
In August 2020, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity and the diluted earnings per share computations for these instruments. This guidance removes major separation models required under current guidance enabling more convertible debt instruments to be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This guidance also removes certain settlement conditions required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. In addition, this guidance requires the “if-converted” method be applied for all convertible instruments (the treasury stock method is no longer available) and removes the ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for contracts that may be settled in cash or stock.
This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2021, which is the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2023, on either a full or modified retrospective basis. The Company will adopt this guidance on January 30, 2022, using the modified retrospective transition method which allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption and does not require retrospective adjustments to prior periods. Using this transition method, the cumulative effect of the accounting change is expected to increase the carrying amount of the Notes by approximately $27.5 million, reduce deferred income tax liabilities by approximately $6.2 million, reduce additional paid-in capital by $43.1 million and increase retained earnings by approximately $21.8 million.
Due to the adoption, the Company expects non-cash interest expense related to the Notes for fiscal 2023 will be lower by approximately $11.1 million. In addition, the Company expects an increase of approximately 11.6 million shares to be included in its diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.
All estimates are based on the balance of the Notes outstanding as of January 29, 2022.
Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options
In May 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains classified in equity after modification or exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification).
This guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods. An entity should apply this guidance prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.
Government Assistance
In November 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to increase the transparency of government assistance. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
