New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Standards	Recent Accounting Standards Recently Issued Accounting Standards: ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - On March 12, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued this guidance that provides optional expedients and exceptions that are intended to ease the burden of updating contracts to contain a new reference rate due to the discontinuation of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This guidance is available immediately and may be implemented in any period prior to the guidance expiration on December 31, 2022. We are currently assessing which of our various contracts will require an update for a new reference rate, and will determine the timing for our implementation of this guidance at the completion of that analysis. ASU 2019-12 Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes - This Accounting Standards Update removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). It eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (1) Exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, (2) Exception accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments, (3) Exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment and (4) Exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. Also, this amendment updates the following: (1) Making minor Codification improvements for income taxes related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method, (2) Requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date and (3) Requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction. We expect to adopt this guidance on November 1, 2021 and we are currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. ASU 2018-14 Compensation-Retirements Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans - This ASU amendment adds the following to disclosure requirements: (1) The weighted-average interest crediting rates used in the entity’s cash balance pension plans and other similar plans; (2) A narrative description of the reasons for significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period; (3) An explanation of any other significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets that are not otherwise apparent in the other disclosures required by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 715, Compensation-Retirement Benefits. Also, this amendment clarifies the guidance in ASC 715-20-50-3 on defined benefit plans to require disclosure of (1) the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets (the same disclosure with reference to the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation rather than the PBO is required for other postretirement benefit plans) and (2) the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets. We expect to adopt this guidance on November 1, 2021 and we are currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-13 Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments - The amendments change the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available for sale equity securities. This new model will apply to instruments such as loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, loan commitments (including lines of credit), financial guarantees accounted for under ASC 460, net investments in leases, reinsurance and trade receivables. This model will result in an earlier recognition of allowances for losses through the establishment of an allowance account. The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical and current information, and the reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances, as well as estimates of prepayments. We expect to adopt this guidance on November 1, 2020 and we are currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. ASU 2018-15 Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software - The amendments apply to the accounting for implementation, setup and other upfront costs (collectively referred to as implementation costs) for entities that are a customer in a hosting arrangement and align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The amendments also require customers to expense capitalized implementation costs over the term of the hosting arrangement and in the same line on the income statement as the fees associated with the hosting service and payments for the capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting service. We expect to adopt this guidance on November 1, 2020 and we are currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: ASU 2016-02 Leases - This amendment requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires a modified retrospective or current period transition approach for capital and operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, but it does not require transition accounting for leases that expire prior to the date of initial adoption. In January 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC Topic 842 which permits companies to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate existing land easements under the new standard if the land easements were not previously accounted for under existing lease guidance. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 which clarifies certain areas within ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11 Targeted Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. This amendment provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2019. The Company has applied ASU 2016-02 and all related amendments ("ASC 842") using the current period adjustment method. The Company did not record any adjustments to the opening balance of retained earnings as of November 1, 2019. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be presented under prior lease guidance. In addition, the Company elected the following package of practical expedients on a consistent basis permitting entities not to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contract are/or contain a lease; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; (3) whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases qualify for capitalization under the new amended guidance. As a result, as of November 1, 2019, we recorded right-of-use ("ROU") assets of $50,540 for operating leases and $2,000 for financing leases. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations or statement of cash flows. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in ROU assets and the Company's short-term and long-term operating lease liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in other assets, other current liabilities, and other non-current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. The Company includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicitly stated rate within the contact, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on third party information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expenses for lease payments on operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, the Company does not record a ROU asset or lease liability for leases with an expected lease term of 12 months or less. The Company has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately across the Company's portfolio of leases. The non-lease components consist of maintenance, insurance, taxes and other expenses, and are immaterial. The Company has exercised the land easement expedient and will continue to treat land leases under legacy GAAP provisions of ASC 840, Leases. If a modification or extension happens to a land lease, the Company will then treat the lease under the ASC 842 requirements. Current land leases are being recorded in other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
