The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method provided by the FASB in ASU 2018-11. As we did not restate comparative periods, the adoption had no impact on our previously reported results. We elected to use the practical expedient that allowed us to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases as well as the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of leases as a single lease component for all asset classes. We also elected to account for short-term leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842-20-25-2. The adoption of this standard had a material impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Upon adoption, we recognized right of use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $68 million that reflected the present value of future lease payments. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations or cash flows. See Note 13 for further information.

At March 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts with a combined notional value of €180 million that were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and, as a result, the change in the fair value of these foreign currency exchange contracts and the corresponding foreign currency gain or loss on the revaluation of the intercompany loans were both recorded through earnings within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations each period as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a gain of $1.2 million within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these foreign currency exchange contracts. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a foreign currency transaction loss of $1.2 million within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these intercompany loans.

As part of the adoption of the new lease standard, the Company derecognized its liability for the construction of a new leased facility that was recorded in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded it as a right of use asset in Other noncurrent assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with a corresponding lease liability in Accured expenses and Other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company uses the implicit rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. If the implicit rate is not defined in the lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company used either the implicit rate or the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the transition date to determine the present value of the lease payments as of January 1, 2019.
