RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES
Accounting Standards Updates Issued but Not Effective in 2020
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12). The objectives of ASU 2019-12 are (i) to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions, (ii) to update certain requirements to simplify the accounting for income taxes, and (iii) to make minor codification improvements for income taxes. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.    
Other new accounting standards updates issued but not effective until after December 31, 2020 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting Standards Updates That Were Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (ASU 2018-15). The objective of ASU 2018-15 is to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with those incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. We adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 using the retrospective method. As a result of the adoption, $0.3 million was reclassified from 2019 year-end property, plant and equipment, net, to other non-current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition, $0.3 million of cash outflows from investing activities incurred during 2019 was reclassified to cash outflows from operating activities.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). The objective of ASU 2017-04 is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by entities performing their annual goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit, including income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill, with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair
value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2017-04 should be applied on a prospective basis. We adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020.  The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.    In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (ASU 2016-13). The objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
