ASU 2016-02, Leases | Requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses in a manner similar to current guidance. The guidance is required to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. | Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 | We are currently evaluating the effect this will have on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. We are primarily focused on evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting, including information technology requirements, related to the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a significant impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as we will be recording a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability for our current operating leases. |
ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities | Eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. For qualifying cash flow and net investment hedges, the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument will be recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), and amounts deferred in OCI will be reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. | Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 | We are currently evaluating the effect this will have on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments | Changes the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination for most financing receivables. The guidance must be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. | Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 | We are currently evaluating the effect this will have on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. |
