Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy | Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which removes the separation models for convertible debt with cash conversion or beneficial conversion features. ASU 2020-06 also requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating earnings per diluted share, as the treasury stock method will no longer be permitted for convertible instruments. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 during the first quarter of 2022 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
