Reporting Period: Mar 29, 2019
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20). The ASU addresses modifications to the disclosure requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. Under ASU 2018-14 the disclosure requirements that can be removed are amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year, amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer, and the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and benefit obligations for postretirement health care benefits. Additional disclosures are required for the weighted -average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates and an explanation for significant gains and losses related to the changes in the benefit obligation for the period. If a defined benefit pension plan has a projected benefit obligation greater than plan assets the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets should be disclosed. This additional disclosure is also required when comparing the accumulated benefit obligation to plan assets. This ASU becomes effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 on a retrospective basis for all years presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU focuses on updates around disclosures of Level 3 fair value measurements and it presents modifications to current disclosure requirements. The additional requirements under this ASU include disclosure for the changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income ("OCI") held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs. The ASU is also eliminating the disclosure requirement for the amount and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement, valuation processes for Level 3 measurements, and policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the ASU is modifying the disclosure requirements for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, the Company is required to disclosure the timing of liquidation of an investee's assets when a net asset value calculation is used and the date when the restrictions from redemption might lapse only when it has been announced within the Company or publicly. The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the
reporting date. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU. The ASU requires prospective application for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the year of adoption for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in OCI, the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. All other amendments described in this ASU must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but does not anticipate a material impact on the financial statement disclosures.
As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated based upon the sovereign treasury rate for the currency in which the lease liability is denominated when the Company takes possession of the leased asset, adjusted for various factors, such as term and internal credit spread. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentive and initial direct costs incurred.
Leases entered into include one or more options to renew. The renewal terms can extend the lease term from one to twenty-five years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. Renewal option periods are included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability when the exercise is reasonably certain to occur. Some leases include options to terminate the lease upon breach of contract and are remeasured at that point in time.
The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
