Recent Accounting and Reporting Developments

 

There have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, from those disclosed in the Company’s 2020 Form 10‑K, except for the following:

 

Accounting Changes

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018‑14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715‑20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (“ASU 2018‑14”), which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures for these plans. The eliminated disclosures include the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year and the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer. The new disclosures include an explanation of significant gains and losses related to changes in benefit obligations. The Company adopted ASU 2018‑14 on a retrospective basis on January 1, 2021 and the impact was not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019‑12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019‑12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“Topic 740”). ASU 2019‑12 also improves consistent application of and simplifies U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The Company adopted ASU 2019‑12 on January 1, 2021 and the impact was not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
