In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820). Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The standard eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information, and modifies some disclosure requirements. As the result of the adoption the Company is no longer required to disclose (1) the amount of and the reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and (3) the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, the Company is required to disclose (1) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and (2) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. No significant changes were made to our fair value disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in order to comply with ASU 2018-13. Refer to Note 4, Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

However, the coronavirus pandemic and the likely resulting recession and its follow-on effects are impacting and will likely continue to impact our business activities. For further discussion, see the section titled “Impact of the Coronavirus Disease” included above. We have initiated a contingency plan with the goal to reduce our cash usage by approximately $30 million during the remainder of 2020, largely through reductions in operating expense, working capital and company-wide salary reductions.

Should the coronavirus continue to spread, our business plans will be further materially delayed or interrupted. Our sales and revenue cycles, including MRIdian orders, deliveries and installation, as well as our other business operations, are likely to be significantly delayed as we experience adverse impacts, including but not limited to our teammates, global supply chain partners, transportation service providers, and customers. For example, along with delays in service from our global supply chain partners, we have experienced delays in installation of systems in Asia and Europe due to the restrictions imposed by government agencies and our customers in response to the spread of coronavirus. Similarly, our ability to conduct commercial efforts with our customers have been and are likely to continue to be disrupted as customers have suspended in-person sales calls and turned their focus to dealing with the impact of coronavirus on their operations. We have initiated a contingency plan with the goal to reduce our cash usage by approximately $30 million during the remainder of 2020, largely through reductions in operating expense, working capital and company-wide salary reductions; however, if our business operations continue to be adversely impacted by the spread of coronavirus, our costs associated with operating our business could be significantly higher than planned, which may have a material impact on our business. The coronavirus could also further adversely impact our teammate population, as well as our near-term and long-term revenues, earnings and cash flow and may require significant additional expenditures to mitigate such impacts. Should the impact of coronavirus result in a global recession, our ability to conduct our business and to access capital markets could be materially impacted; and capital equipment sales, which make up the majority of our revenue, may take longer than other areas of the economy in a recovery, which may have a material impact on our business.  This situation continues to develop rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.
