Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Landec have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at February 23, 2020, and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. Although Landec believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information normally included in financial statements and related footnotes prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying financial data should be reviewed in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in Landec's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 26, 2019.
The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period that ends on the last Sunday of May with quarters within each year ending on the last Sunday of August, November, and February; however, in instances where the last Sunday would result in a quarter being 12-weeks in length, the Company’s policy is to extend that quarter to the following Sunday. A 14th week is included in the fiscal year every five or six years to realign the Company’s fiscal quarters with calendar quarters. The Company's fiscal year 2020 is a 53-week period and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 is a 14-week period.
In May 2019, the Company discontinued the Now Planting business. As a result, the Now Planting business, which was launched during the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, has been reclassified as a discontinued operation under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations ("ASC 205-20") for the three and nine months ended February 24, 2019.
The results of operations for the nine months ended February 23, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year because there is some seasonality in Curation Foods’ business and the order patterns of Lifecore’s customers which may lead to significant fluctuations in Landec’s quarterly results of operations.
Basis of Consolidation
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Landec Corporation and its subsidiaries, Curation Foods and Lifecore. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial results of Yucatan Foods have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition on December 1, 2018.
Arrangements that are not controlled through voting or similar rights are reviewed under the guidance for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). A company is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, and operations of a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
An entity is a VIE and subject to consolidation, if by design: a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, including equity holders, or b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any one of the following three characteristics: (i) the power, through voting rights or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The Company reviewed the consolidation guidance and concluded that the equity investment in the non-public company are not VIEs.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates that require management’s most significant and subjective judgments include revenue recognition; loss contingencies; sales returns and allowances; inventories; self-insurance liabilities; recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities; the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets including intangible assets and inventory; the valuation of investments; and the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation.
These estimates involve the consideration of complex factors and require management to make judgments. The analysis of historical and future trends can require extended periods of time to resolve and are subject to change from period to period. The actual results may differ from management’s estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company records all highly liquid securities with three months or less from date of purchase to maturity as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist mainly of money market funds. The market value of cash equivalents approximates their historical cost given their short-term nature.
Restricted Cash
Restricted Cash
The Company was required to maintain $0.2 million and $0.4 million of restricted cash at February 23, 2020 and May 26, 2019 related to certain collateral requirements for obligations under its workers' compensation programs. The restricted cash is included in Other assets in the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Inventories
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value and consist of the following:

(In thousands)February 23,
2020
May 26,
2019
Raw materials$29,893  $23,195  
Work in progress4,343  4,189  
Finished goods32,823  26,748  
Total$67,059  $54,132  

If the cost of the inventories exceeds their net realizable value, provisions are recorded currently to reduce them to net realizable value. The Company also records a provision for slow moving and obsolete inventories based on the estimate of demand for its products.
Related Party Transactions
Related Party Transactions
The Company sells and licenses its BreatheWay® food packaging technology to Windset Holdings 2010 Ltd. (“Windset”), in which, as further described in Note 3, the Company owns an approximate 26.9% ownership interest. During the three months ended February 23, 2020 and February 24, 2019, the Company recognized revenues of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. During the nine months ended February 23, 2020 and February 24, 2019, the Company recognized revenues of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. These amounts have been included in Product sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Loss. The related receivable balances of $0.3 million and $0.5 million are included in Accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 23, 2020 and May 26, 2019, respectively.
All related party transactions are monitored quarterly by the Company and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt Issuance Costs
The Company records its line of credit debt issuance costs as an asset, and as such, $0.2 million and $0.3 million were recorded as Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, as of February 23, 2020, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, as of May 26, 2019. The Company records its term debt issuance costs as a contra-liability, and as such, $0.3 million and $0.5 million was recorded as Current portion of long-term debt, and Long-term debt, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, as of February 23, 2020 and $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as of May 26, 2019.
Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are primarily composed of commercial-term trade payables, grower advances, notes receivable, and debt instruments. For short-term instruments, the historical carrying amount approximates the fair value of the instrument. The fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate risk. These derivative instruments may offset a portion of the changes in interest expense. The Company designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company’s derivative instruments are subject to master netting arrangements. These arrangements include provisions to setoff positions with the same counterparties in the event of default by one of the parties. The Company accounts for its derivative instruments as either an asset or a liability and carries them at fair value in Other assets or Other non-current liabilities
in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and the resulting designation.
For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) in Stockholders’ Equity and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any, is recognized in earnings in the current period. To receive hedge accounting treatment, cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). OCI refers to revenue, expenses, and gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from the determination of net income. The Company’s AOCI consists of net deferred gains and losses on its interest rate swap contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges. The components of AOCI, net of tax, are as follows:

(In thousands)AOCI
Accumulated OCI, net, as of May 26, 2019$64  
Unrealized losses on interest rate swap contracts, net of tax effect(896) 
Accumulated OCI, net, as of February 23, 2020$(832) 

The Company does not expect any transactions or other events to occur that would result in the reclassification of any significant gains or losses into earnings in the next 12 months.
Investment in Non-Public Company Investment in Non-Public CompanyOn February 15, 2011, the Company made its initial investment in Windset which is reported as an Investment in non-public company, fair value, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 23, 2020 and May 26, 2019. The Company has elected to account for its investment in Windset under the fair value option.
Assets Held for Sale
Assets Held for Sale
In January 2020, the Company decided to divest its Curation Foods’ salad dressing plant in Ontario, California. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company (1) designated the fixed assets of its office and manufacturing space located in Ontario, California, as assets held for sale, (2) recognized a $10.9 million impairment loss, which is included in Restructuring costs within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Loss, and (3) reclassified the remaining net carrying value of $2.6 million from Property and equipment, net to Prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Liabilities of $0.3 million and $3.0 million related to these assets are included in Current portion of lease liabilities and Long-term lease liabilities, respectively, within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company expects to complete this divestiture within the first half of fiscal year 2021.
In June 2019, the Company designated the Santa Maria, California office as the Curation Foods headquarters, and decided to close and put up for sale the Curation Foods office in San Rafael, California. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the San Rafael property had been designated as held for sale and the net carrying value of $2.8 million was reclassified from Property and equipment, net to Other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In the second quarter of the fiscal year 2020, the Company recognized a $0.4 million impairment loss, which is included in Restructuring costs within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Loss. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company closed escrow on the San Rafael property held for sale. The Company received net cash proceeds of $2.4 million in connection with the sale.
Leases
Leases
Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is a quoted rate based on
the understanding of what the Company's credit rating would be. Certain agreements may contain the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset. The Company, when reasonably certain to exercise the option, considers these options in determining the measurement of the lease. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees.
The Company's lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. The Company combines fixed payments for non-lease components with lease payments and account for them together as a single lease component which increases the amount of lease assets and liabilities.
Payments under lease arrangements are primarily fixed, however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the operating lease assets and liabilities. These amounts primarily include payments affected by changes in price indices.
Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships with finite estimated useful life of eleven to thirteen years, and trademarks/tradenames and goodwill with indefinite useful lives.
Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. Indefinite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually. For goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company performs a qualitative impairment analysis in accordance with ASC 350-30-35.
Partial Self-Insurance on Employee Health and Workers Compensation Plans and Business Interruption Insurance Recoveries
Partial Self-Insurance on Employee Health and Workers Compensation Plans
The Company provides health insurance benefits to eligible employees under self-insured plans whereby the Company pays actual medical claims subject to certain stop loss limits and self-insures its workers compensation claims. The Company records self-insurance liabilities based on actual claims filed and an estimate of those claims incurred but not reported. Any projection of losses concerning the Company's liability is subject to a high degree of variability. Among the causes of this variability are unpredictable external factors such as inflation rates, changes in severity, benefit level changes, medical costs, and claims settlement patterns. This self-insurance liability is included in Other accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and represents management's best estimate of the amounts that have not been paid as of February 23, 2020 and May 26, 2019. It is reasonably possible that the expense the Company ultimately incurs could differ and adjustments to future reserves may be necessary.
Business Interruption Insurance Recoveries
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company recalled five SKUs of Eat Smart single-serve Salad Shake-Ups!. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company submitted a product recall claim. During the three and nine months ended February 23, 2020, the Company recognized $0.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of business interruption insurance recoveries. Amounts received on insurance recoveries related to business interruption are recorded as a reduction to “Cost of sales” and are classified as operating cash flows.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses fair value measurement accounting for financial assets and liabilities and for financial instruments and certain other items measured at fair value. The Company has elected the fair value option for its investment in a non-public company. See Note 3 – Investment in Non-public Company for further information. The Company also measures its contingent consideration liability at fair value. See Note 2 – Acquisitions for further information. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its other eligible financial assets or liabilities.
The accounting guidance established a three-tier hierarchy for fair value measurements, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which would require the Company to develop its own assumptions.
As of February 23, 2020 and May 26, 2019, the Company held certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including its interest rate swap contracts, its minority interest investment in Windset, and its contingent consideration liability from the acquisition of O.
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts is determined based on model inputs that can be observed in a liquid market, including yield curves, and is categorized as a Level 2 fair value measurement and is included in Other assets or Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of February 23, 2020, the Company held certain assets that were required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair market value of the assets, less the costs to sell, was $2.6 million, and was based on third-party valuations. The valuations primarily used the market approach, and the inputs utilized were comparable sales of similar assets, which are generally unobservable and are supported by little or no market data, and therefore were classified within Level 3.
The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration liability from the acquisition of O utilizes significant unobservable inputs, including projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and discount rates. As a result, the Company’s contingent consideration liability associated with the O acquisition is considered a Level 3 measurement liability and is included in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended November 24, 2019 the Company estimated that no earn out would be earned under the agreement and therefore reversed the remaining $0.5 million of contingent liability which is included in Selling, general and administrative within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Loss.
In determining the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration liability, the Company utilizes the following significant unobservable inputs in the discounted cash flow models:

At February 23,
2020
At May 26,
2019
Cost of debt5.1% to 5.5%5.1% to 5.5%
Market price of risk adjustment14%  14%  
EBITDA volatility28%  28%  

The fair value of our contingent consideration liability is not considered sensitive to change in forecasts. A 10% increase in EBITDA forecast would have an immaterial impact on the value of the contingent consideration liability as of February 23, 2020.
The Company has elected the fair value option of accounting for its investment in Windset. The calculation of fair value utilizes significant unobservable inputs, including projected cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. As a result, the Company’s investment in Windset is considered to be a Level 3 measurement investment. The change in the fair value of the Company’s investment in Windset for the three and nine months ended February 23, 2020 was due to the Company's 26.9% minority interest in the change in the fair market value of Windset during the period.
In determining the fair value of the investment in Windset, the Company utilizes the following significant unobservable inputs in the discounted cash flow models:

At February 23,
2020
At May 26,
2019
Revenue growth rates6% to 7%  6%  
Expense growth rates5% to 7%  6%  
Income tax rates15%  15%  
Discount rates12%  12%  

The revenue growth, expense growth, and income tax rate assumptions are considered the Company's best estimate of the trends in those items over the discount period. The discount rate assumption takes into account the risk-free rate of return, the market equity risk premium, and the company’s specific risk premium and then applies an additional discount for lack of liquidity of the underlying securities.The discounted cash flow valuation model used by the Company has the following sensitivity to changes in inputs and assumptions:
(In thousands)Impact on value of investment in Windset as of February 23, 2020
10% increase in revenue growth rates$5,400  
10% increase in expense growth rates$(4,200) 
10% increase in income tax rates$(500) 
10% increase in discount rates$(3,600) 

Imprecision in estimating unobservable market inputs can affect the amount of gain or loss recorded for a particular position. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:

Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the five step, principles-based model to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue, net of estimated allowances and returns, is recognized when the Company has completed its performance obligations under a contract and control of the product is transferred to the customer. Substantially all revenue is recognized at the time shipment is made or upon delivery as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Revenue for development service contracts are generally recognized based upon the labor hours expended relative to the total expected hours as a measure of progress to depict transfer of control of the service over time. The services are not distinct and are accounted for as a single performance obligation for each customer.
For descriptions of the Company’s product offerings and segments refer to Note 9 – Business Segment Reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 26, 2019.
The Company’s standard terms of sale are included in its contracts, purchase orders, and invoices. As such, all revenue is considered revenue recognized from contracts with customers. Shipping and other transportation costs charged to customers are recorded in both revenue and cost of goods sold. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling as fulfillment activities, and not a separate performance obligation. The Company’s standard payment terms with its customers range from 30 days to 90 days. Certain customers may receive cash-based incentives (including: volume rebates, discounts, and slotting fees),
which are accounted for as variable consideration to the Company’s performance obligations. The Company estimates these sales incentives based on the expected amount to be provided to its customers and reduces revenues recognized towards its performance obligations. The Company does not anticipate significant changes in its estimates for variable consideration.
Occasionally, the Company enters into bill-and-hold arrangements, where it invoices the customer for products even though it retains possession of the products until a point-in-time in the future when the products will be shipped to the customer. In these contracts, the primary performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is generally recognized, at a point-in-time when the product is segregated from the Company’s general inventory, it's ready for shipment to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or re-deploy it to another customer.
The Company disaggregates its revenue by segment product lines based on how it markets its products and reviews results of operations. The following tables disaggregate segment revenue by major product lines:

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s conditional right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. The Company’s contract assets as of February 23, 2020 and May 26, 2019 were $10.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively.
Contract liabilities primarily relate to payments received from customers in advance of performance under the contract. The Company’s contract liabilities as of February 23, 2020 and May 26, 2019 were $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended February 23, 2020, that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of fiscal year 2020, were $0.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move the Company’s products from production and storage facilities to the customer. Handling costs are incurred from the point the product is segregated from the Company’s general inventory until it is provided to the shipper and generally include costs to store, move and prepare the products for shipment. The cost of shipping and handling services is recognized in Cost of product sales. When the costs of shipping and handling are passed on to a customer, the related amount is recorded in revenue.
Legal Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims.
The Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least each fiscal quarter and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimate settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Legal fees are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Recent Accounting Guidance
Recent Accounting Guidance
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 20, 2020. The Company early adopted this guidance in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, which had a favorable impact of $0.4 million for the three months then ended. This early adoption had no impact to the Company’s prior financial statements, nor will it have any impact to its full year fiscal 2020 financial statements.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use-assets. Effective May 27, 2019, the Company adopted the ASU on a modified retrospective basis. Prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historical accounting policies under ASC 840: Leases (Topic 840). The Company elected the package of practical expedients under which the Company has not reassessed prior conclusions about lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company elected the hindsight expedient to evaluate lease terms, and made a policy election that does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to short-term leases.
Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company recorded a transitional adjustment of $0.3 million to opening retained earnings to write off the difference in deferred rent balances from prior periods for operating leases with non-level rent. The difference arises from recalculation of deferred rent after applying updated lease terms as a result of applying hindsight. Additionally, the adoption of the standard had a significant impact in the condensed consolidated balance sheet where at the time of the adoption at the beginning of fiscal year 2020, the Company recorded $31.1 million of operating lease liabilities, along with $30.0 million of operating lease right-of-use assets.
This change had no impact on the Company’s ability to meet its loan covenants as the impact from the adoption of ASU 2016-02 was taken into consideration when determining its loan covenants.
Recently Issued Pronouncements to be Adopted
Cash Flow Hedges
In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The guidance is effective upon issuance and may be adopted on any date on or after March 12, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Cloud Computing Arrangements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"), which requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to defer and recognize as an asset. The Accounting Standards Update generally aligns the guidance on recognizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with that for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, including hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Fair Value Measurement
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"). The guidance eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.
