−Removed: The Company is currently evaluating the impact of an accounting standards update issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to existing U.S.
−Removed: This guidance is aimed at easing the financial reporting burdens related to reference rate reform, including the market transition from LIBOR, or other interbank offered rates, to alternative reference rates.
+Added: The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) has issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to existing U.S.
+Added: This guidance is aimed at easing the financial reporting burdens related to reference rate reform, including the market transition from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”), or other interbank offered rates, to alternative reference rates.
Such accounting pronouncement, as amended, allows entities to account for and present certain contract modifications, which occur before December 31, 2024 and result from the transition to an alternative reference rate, as an event that does not require remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination.
−Removed: While we are still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement, we do not anticipate that it will have a material impact on our financial position and/or results of operations, as we are not exposed to any contracts that reference LIBOR, other than our credit agreement dated as of March 2, 2020, which contains provisions that allow for the amendment of such agreement to use alternative reference rates upon the discontinuation of LIBOR.
−Removed: In October 2021, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB that changes how an entity accounts for revenue contracts it acquires in a business combination.
−Removed: The pronouncement requires entities to apply the revenue recognition guidance within Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities from contracts with customers in a business combination, creating an exception to the fair value recognition and measurement principle typically utilized when valuing acquired assets.
−Removed: The guidance is aimed at improving comparability by addressing when an acquirer should recognize a contract asset or contract liability, as well as how such assets and liabilities should be measured, and will generally result in companies recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at amounts consistent with those recorded by the target entity prior to acquisition.
−Removed: This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted.
−Removed: We do not believe that the adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have a material impact on our financial position and/or results of operations.
+Added: In order to utilize such guidance, an entity must first conclude that the modified terms directly replace or have the potential to replace an eligible reference rate due to reference rate reform, and that any contemporaneous changes to other terms that change, or have the potential to change, the amount or timing of contractual cash flows are related to the replacement of a reference rate.
+Added: During the second quarter of 2023, we amended our then existing credit agreement to change the reference rate from LIBOR to an interest rate based on the secured overnight financing rate, as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”).
+Added: As such amendment was within the scope of the aforementioned guidance, we adopted this accounting pronouncement and utilized the optional expedients referenced above.
+Added: We are not exposed to any other material contracts that reference LIBOR.
+Added: The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial position and/or results of operations.
+Added: In November 2023, the FASB issued an ASU, which expands the required disclosure for reportable segments.
+Added: This guidance requires entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all segment disclosures which are currently required annually.
+Added: This ASU additionally requires entities to disclose the title and position of the individual or the name of the group or committee identified as its chief operating decision-maker.
+Added: Such guidance, which is required to be applied retrospectively, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted.
+Added: While the adoption of this ASU will not have an impact on our financial position and/or results of operations, we are currently evaluating the impact to our segment disclosures.
+Added: In December 2023, the FASB issued an ASU intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures.
+Added: Such guidance requires entities to provide additional information within their income tax rate reconciliation, including further disclosure of federal, state, and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about these reconciling items if a quantitative threshold is met.
+Added: This guidance additionally requires expanded disclosure of income taxes paid, including amounts paid for federal, state, and foreign taxes.
+Added: This ASU, which is required to be applied prospectively, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption and retrospective application is permitted.
